OF taxing a receipt, but implicitly trusted
her new-found friend. He made an en-
gagement to meet her in the Hall of
Records, and then left, taking with him the
documents, representing $685. 900.
He kept his appointment, and told her he
was progressing favorably, and the case
would soon be wound up. Twice after that
he met her IN the same place. At the last
Meeting he said that the whole matter was
now in the hands of Judge Moore, who
would see that it was promptly settled and
guardian appointed for her. He was to
have met her again last Tuesday. She was
on hand, but he did not appear Then she

yer Case. He looked at the card the girl
had and found it bore the name of a man
connected with a big law firm inSBrooklyn.
The gentleman in question stands high in
the profession, is prominent in politics, and
has brother in the city works department.
Mr.. Case communicated with the firm, and
at their request brought the girl to their
office. She was unable to identify either OF
them as the man she met in the halt of rec
ords. Her description Tailed somewhat
with that's the lawyers brother in the city
works department, and he was sent for.
The girl said he was not the man. When
he heard her story he said he thought he
knew the man, and asked the girl to de-
scribe him. She did so minutely, and the

seemed satisfied that his first impression
was correct. Singularly enough, he refused
TO give the name of the man he suspected,
but Capt. Campbell thinks he knows him.
On Wednesday the girl visited the Will
iamsburg Savings Bank and saw some of
the officers. They told her it was true the
bank held $4,000 of DR.. Shmitt's money.
They knew be was dead, and said no one
could touch the money until the court had
passed upon tho matter. When Judge
Walsh asked the girl if she knew who had
witnessed the will, she said she did not, nor
did she know whether her father remem-
bered or not. She could not tell what date
1t bore, or anything further than that it
gave her the money.
Mr.. Case said last evening that he would
wait until to-day. If the poll o did not
discover something by the morning, he
would take legal steps to compel the man
in the city works department to disclose the
name Of the man he suspects. When
pressed for the names Mr.. Case refused
point-blank TO give them. Capt. Campbell
also declined to mention names.

An obituary is in preparation for next
week.
A pitiful story comes from North
Greenfield, near Milwaukee. of an acct
dent that occurred there Thursday after
noon. While conductor Barrett of the
Lancaster & Milwaukee passenger train
was running into Milwaukee on that
day. the burnt bodies of Mrs. Elizabeth
Bruno and her daughter Susan. young
lady aged 20 years, were picked up and
taken into Milwaukee to the Emergency
hospital. They had been burning brush
during the afternoon, by the side of the
track and the young lady's clothing
caught fire, burning off completely, and
the old lady in trying to extinguish the
flames, burned her hands until the fin
ger bones protruded through the burnt
flesh. They were both cared for, and
when last heard from were alive, though
suffering untold agonies.
