A NOTORIOUS THIEF CAUGHT.
An American Thief who is Likely 10
Remain Abroad Several Years.

A private letter received at police head
quarters in New York from Scotland
yard gives some additional details regard
ing the capture of Eddie Guerin the no.
torious American thief, which have not
appeared in the cable dispatches. 1t ap-
pears that for week or more the London
detectives had been on the look out for
him in consequences of advices from the
Lyons France) police that he had gotten
away with forty thousand dollars. lie
was finally traced one day to restaurant
in Great Portland street. The alarm was
given and while he was dsposing of
heavy meal the place was surrounded
with officers. Guerin was taken by sur
prise but at the same time made des-
perate effort for freedom. Dvesting
himself of his coat and vest he slid down
a water pipe. bounded into cab and
shouted to the driver, "A hundred pounds
If you will drive me to Kings Cross"
railroad station. The cab was pursued.
Guerin jumped out in Albany street and
after chase through a saloon was cap
tured in a kitchen. Only eight hundred
pounds, or four thousand dollars, were
found in his possession. He has been
fully identified by nj. Frncis Bernie, &C
countant to the Lyons bank, who says
that Guerin grabbed the notes from the
desk of an attache Of the bank of France
who was waiting to pay for some valu.
able securities. A full record of Guerin's
criminal career in the United States is
now being prepared. 1t will probably aid
materially in his conviction and the
chances of the famous thief who Is known
in all the principal cities of the Union re-
turning to the United States for at least
score of years are decidedly remote

THE BROWN CASE.
The Justice Discharges Mrs. Brown
4 From Custody.

Mrs. II. f, Brown, who has been on
trial at Mason City charged with poison
ing the Brown family, was discharged
from custody. When the decision was
rendered there was some demonstrations
of commentator by relatives of the ac-
cused. After examining the evidence in
the case carefully, the Judge said the
testimony went to show that Mrs. Brown
was affected as well as the others at the
time Of the poisoning. 1t was not reason
able TO believe that she, having all Ia
gain by the death Of her husband, would
also try to put herself out OF the way
and no motive was shown why she should
poison her own children, even though
the motive was ever so strong to poison
the husband. County Attorney Clark
will now present the matter TO the Grand
Jury. where she will be indicted for muir
der or acquitted.

came about In a curious and unexpected
way, Won Oberkampf was indebted to
his landlady, and for payment rendered
her check which she accepted and no
turned him the difference In cash. The
check proved to have been forged and
she placed the matter IN the hands OF the
police, who located the man in room
on North Market street. In searching this
room the officers were astonished to find

had all been opened bore no post mark
and had the stamps removed. II was

The envelopes contained all sorts Of queer
