i youth with hundreds of dollars packed
away in his shoes is not met every day even
by Chicago detectives. One, however, is at
present locked up who when arrested was
found to be wearing false soles in his shoes,
composed of layers of greenbacks, all of the
value of S565. Robert Walker came to Chi
cage year ago from New York. He Sc
cured employment at the Gault House,
where lie vas given charge of the elevator.
Guests of the hotel liked him, and his en-
ployers believed that in him they had
jewel. He was faithful to his duties, and
until Sunday morning was considered above
reproach. Walker, although young, was
ambitious. Heyearned for something above
the petty drudgery of an elevator conductor.
he followed up the yearning with an idea,
i'll the working out of which he took into
his confidence little fellow employed in
the Gault House as bell-boy. This boy, IA
years old, is Eddie Tice, whose home is in
Peoria. Walker and lice together planned
a scheme whereby they could become rich,
and at the same time be saved the trouble
Of holding anybody up or doing any very
hard work.
When female guests leave the Gault
House they pass out of the elevator from
the side opposite the office, leaving the keys
to their rooms with the eleyator-boy, who is
supposed to turn them over to the room
clerk. Walker formed an idea that with
the aid of an accOmpliCe he could utilize
this confidence. Hence the partnership be-
tween the two boys. On July 7th Mrs. Nj.
j. Leonard of Dallas, Tex, registered at
the hotel. She went out last Friday, leay-
ing $50 on a table in her room. and as she
passed out she gave her key to Walker. who
at once called Tice and told him to search
Mrs. Le0nard's room, which he did, secur-
ing the big roll OF money. Mrs. Leonard
returned later in the day and Immediately
discovered that her money was gone. She
notified the proprietors, who had heard
complaints before from guests who
declared that they had been robbed,
but. as the amounts lost were conf
paratively small, ne particular atten-
ton was paid TO the stories except to
place detective on the lookout. The steal
Detectives from police headquarters were
sent for, the matter was placed in their
hands, and the result was that the little
fellow, lice, when asked about it by the
detectives made clean confession. lie de-
clared, however, that he was innocent; that
all he did was to watch while Walker did
the stealing. As result he was discharged
yesterday morning, while Walker was
locked up to await his trial-as soon as the
matter can be thoroughly sifted. Mrs.
Leonard, who is the principal victim, Will
prosecute Walker, and DR.. GOss, Mrs. Har-
rington and Mrs. Cozzens, guests VINO have
lost money and valuables, will also attempt
to secure evidence against the boys. Some
money, about 800, besides that found in
Walkers shoes, has been found by detect
ives, the boys having spent it in various
ways, principally in disreputable resorts

S. d. Smith and X. ID. Stephens furnished
the necessary $4,000, having borrowed it
