RECOVERING STOLEN MONEY.
The Pinkertons Turn Up SO, 900 More
of the Express Company's Money.

OF the Express Company's Money.
LEAvENwoRTn, Kan, Dec 3O.-Frederick
Wittrock, who made full confession to Rob-
ert Pinkerton while in Chicago and told where
all the money from the Adams express rob-
berry was secreted, has ''turned up SO, 900
which was hidden under barn at his moth
er's house in this city. He arrived here Tues
day evening with Bob Pinkerton and three
of his operatives The money was counted
in the presence of the prisoner and his aged
mother and two sisters, who seemed over
come with grief at Fred's crime The de-
tectives searched every corner of the house
and outbuildings for more money, but left
after ransacking the place thoroughly.
The money recovered was brought here by
Cook and three other young men now in the
city, whose names have not yet been di-
vulged They will be arrested. There can
be no blame attached to Mrs Wittrock or
her daughters, Pinkerton says, for they did
not know the contents of the box they were
requested to take care of for Fred. Every
person implicated in the robbery is a former
resident of Leayenworth.
There is strong belief that two or three
other parties connected with the conspiracy
are stiIl in the city. Dan Moriarty, the man
WHO SWITCHED the express car Oub VI tHt
yards in st. Louis the night it was robbed,
has declared again that two of the chief con-
spirators in the robbery were yet in Leaven-
worth and that he saw them on the streets
Tuesday. He said he was afraid of them,
and did not dare open his mouth lest they
should kill him. They knew that he was on
their racket, and before he was discharged
in st. Louis he received letters from them
wanting him to meet them on the st
Charles bridge. He did not meet them for
fear of being murdered He refused to give
names unless he was paid the reward offered
5000
About S45, 900 of the stolen money has so
far been recovered and the search is still
going on.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 29.-The arrest of
Mrs. Haight, who was brought here Wednes-
day morning from Nashville, is believed to
have been made for the purpose of making
her give up the large sum she is supposed to
have in her possession. She is thought to
have helped plan the robbery and to have
received some 81, 900 from her husband to
keep for him.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Lord Salisbury read at
the cabinet meeting Tuesday the correspond
snce between himself and Lord Randolph
Churchill relative to the resignation of the
latter, and explained his negotiations with
Lord Harrington, who had refused to accept
the Office. The weight of opinion in the cab
met was strongly in favor of the selection of
a Tory to succeed Lord Churchill, but the
ministers left the matter entirely in the
hands of Lord Salisbury and it is probable
that he will renew the offer he made to Lord
Harrington. Lord Salisbury at the con-
cIusion OF the cabinet meeting proceeded to
Windsor where he held long conference
and dined with the queen.
