GIVEN AWAY BY WOMEN.

The Arrest of the Robbers Accom-
plices Brings Out the Story.
Leaving a party to watch the place for
the night Detectives Wetherhorn and Basch
came back to their office to devise plan to
make the women talk. Finally they decided
to make out fictitious commitments and
place the women under arrest The COM
mitments were made out and early Sunday
morning the detectives went to the house
and arrested Mary Mordecai. She was
taken to Justice Naughtin's Office and
given the option of either telling what she
knew about the robbery or going to Jail
She still refused to give any information,
and then Minnie Ward and Alice White
were arrested. Finally. when they saw
that the officers were determined to put
them behind the bars. they wilted and con,
fessed everything.
THE WOMEN MADE THE MASKS.
The women said Turner, DeLauser and
Perkins planned the robbery at their house,
and they made the black masks for them.
They said they begged the men to desist
from the undertaking, but they
were told to keep their mouths shut.
After the robbery they came back to the
house and counted the results of their nights
work. They had S471 "a in money and a
81, 900 unregistered bond. The money they
divided equally and the bond was put in a
tomato can and showed under the door step.
Then they went to bed and slept all night
Saturday morning the men got up, read the
account Of their crime in the MORNING
NEWS, gave the women S32 for railroad
fare, with instructions to meet them We'd
nesday morning at Madison. Fla. and bring
the bond with them.
THE ROBBERS FLIGHT.
At l0:30 o'clock the three robbers quietly
left the house, passed along Cemetery street
and out to Southover Junction. They
told the women they intended to foot it
along The railroad to Burroughs station,
purchase a ticket for Dupont, board the next
train and from Dupont 60 TO Mosely Hall. a
little village within seventeen miles Of Madi-
son, Fla. They said, however, that they would
meet their female companions at Madison
and warned them under no circumstance TO
forge. the bond.

TALKS WITH PIANO BUYERS.
No. 8.


Sterling by name! Sterling by
neturel The best piano at its price to BE-
found in America. A continued source OF
surprise to its competitors, and qualification
to its friends. Such is the STERLING
PIANO.
Among the people who love music best
there are Thousands whose circumstance
do not permit them TO own the lest and
highest-priced-any more than they can
own and Keep up the finest houses or the
other Injuries Of life.
1t is these people who are most often hum
ougged with cheap pianos. There is q con-
tlnuelly increasing list Of friends Of the peo-
pie ready and anxious to 'sell direct from
factory to the consumer OF course at an
enormous saving in price," and the doorfor
+ aud is so open, and it is SO easy TO take
advantage of the unwary buyer, that il Is
not putting 1t too strongly to say that
there is ontp. one safety for the piano
buyer Of moderate means, and that is h
bUyJrom dealer Of established reputa-
tton and unquestioned responsibility
Now to be able TO supply the needs of the
buyer of moderate purse is justly regarded
as one of the most important features of the
trade. At the same time it is one of the
most difficult, because piano that is worth
anything at oil really costs a good deal 10
build.
This difficulty has caused our honss
great deal of experiment and anxious
thought. We have tried many ways. buo
were several years since brought to this
conclusion: That it was best for as and
best for our customers that we accspta
uery modest profit on a really good piano
and rely upon a ereat bulk of trade to maks
US good, rather than sell an inferior instru-
ment at larger margin.
The result is that we have been for years
selling the Sterling at from $50 to SIS less
than Is obtained for it by its northern and
western agents. We can only afford to do
it because our sales are enormous. Wa
think this course commends itsslf to all
common-sense people, and we knoo that wa
are dstancIng all competition when we
sell genuine. honestly made unsteady co.
cettent instrument at the very low psics

w. J.. CLEMENTS DEAD.

A WeN-Known Savsnnahian Taken
of by Malarial Fever.
w. J. Clements died at the residence Of
his brother-in-law. Judge D. A. O'Byrne,
No. I'll Waldburg street, yesterday after
noon at o'clock.
Mr.. Clements was taken sick nearly eight
weeks ago with malarial fever. after making
q trip to Cohen's Bluff on the steamer Ethel.
The fever lasted for three weeks, since which
time he has been suffering from excessive
prostration, growing weaker each day until
death came to his relief. He was 81 years
OF age, and was native OF GeorgeJ )wn,
d. c. He lost his health during
the Mexican war, where he served
in the commissary depart ment with Col.
Gardner, and. suffering from a chronic
complaint, he was far from being a robust
man. During the civil war he was mem
Der of the Savannah Artillery, commanded
by the late Capt. Gallie. The corps was in
garrison at Fort jackson at the beginning
Of the war.
Mr.. Clements came to Savannah from
New Orleans. where he had resided
for number of years, in 1856,
and soon after entered the
office Of the ordinary, which position was
then held by his brother-in-law. Judge
O'Byrne, as deputy. He occupied that
office until the ordinary was removed by
the military governor of the state. After
the capitllation of Gen. Lee he
held the same position under Henry
s. Wetmore, who was elected ordinary
while the state was under military rule.
Soon after that he was elected clerk Of
/ the superior court, and is said to have made
one of the best officers that ever held that
position. HIS funeral will take place from
st. Patricks church this afternoon at $3.50
o'clock. The interment will be in the
Cathedral cemetery.

a Call Card Found in the Bushes the
First Glue.
At $50 o'clock Detective Basch and Ex-
pressman Grautham, on horseback, and
Agent Cooper and Capt. Crabb and Ex-
pressmen Wooding and H. c. Cooper, in
buggies, started out to the scene Of the pre-
vious nights crime with the hounds. Upon
reaching point nearly opposite the five-
mile post they hitched their horses at the
junction of the Louisville and Houston
avenue roads, near q colored church, and
all walked on the cross ties toward the Ave
mile post.
A few yards this side of the five-mile
post Agent Cooper found a Southern Ex-
press Compauy's call card in the bushes on
the left hand side of the track going in the
direction Of Macon. However. no tracks
could lie found to indicate where any one
had gotten on or off the train. After
reaching the five-mile post Mr..
Grantham found evidence of q
track at the edge of the
bushes and called for Capt. Crabb to bring
his dogs. One dog was turned lose and
after scenting a few seconds made in the
direction Of the woods TO the south, Capt.
Crabb following and the other parties
scattering in different directions.
THE BURNED ENVELOPES FOUND.
Capt. Crabb soon called for the party to
come to him. He was standing over

and District Superintendent Myers, to the
house on Henry street lane. There the
woman handed over the $32 given herself
and companions for railroad fare, and
pointed out the hiding place Of the bond. It
took but few minutes for the bond to be
fished out, and the party was then driven
back to Justice Naughtiu's Office.
THE POUCHES FOUND.

who lives at the six mile post brought tho
Augusta and Atlanta pouches to Mr.. Cooper.
He found them in his field under a sweet
gum tree. The pouches are cut with
knife or other sharp instrument and the
contents gone
News reacded the city at noon Monday
that three men, answering the description
of the robbers, had boarded a Savannah,
Florida and Western train at Burroughs
station on Saturday night, and it was
supposed they were making their way to
Florida.
THE CHASE BEGINS.
The bond was turned over to the express
company's officers and general council Of
all the detectives for the purpose Of devising
a scheme to capture the robbers was held.
1t was finally decided to send posse to Mad
ison, and Monday night Detectives Basch,
jackson. Lilienthel, Belford, Grim and
District Superintendent Myers left on the
Florida train heavily armed.
Detective Wetherhorn, who was superin-
tendent of the entire case, remained in
Savannah to look after this end of the line
and the women. He directed the move
ments Of ell the other officers, and fur
nished them with photographs of Turner,
Perkins and DeLauter, which he had
secured from the women. He decided
that the best plan was to send the posse
Monday night to surprise the robbers, and
if necessary. be intended to have the women
sent out the following morning as decoys,
but the capture obviated this strategetic
movement.
THE LOSS REDUCED.
It was definitely learned Tuesday morn
ing that the robbers failed to secure two
outside packages from the messengers safe
amounting to s7S 40 which reduces the
amount to 1923 II as the result of the South
ern Express Companys loss.
