taken back to the Harlan and Hollings
worth Company This morning Mr. and
Mrs William DUPONT and several friends

fenced on Thursday.

for forgery committed in Philadelphia,
George M. Kirby jumped from the 7.15
train in this city last evening, while en-
route to Philadelphia, in the custody Of

and Dickinson streets, to several checks
for small amounts and disappeared.
On Thursday Gallagher swore out a
warrant for the arrest of Kirby before
Magistrate Randall and notified the
detective department. Chief Miller tele.
graphed at once to Milford, believing
that Kirby would visit his father at that
place, and asked the chief of police TO
arrest him there. Kirby did 60 to Mil
ford. and was arrested by Chief of Police
R. J. Lank, who started with his pris
oner to this city. AS the train was pull.
ing out of the depot at French street
Kirby went into the toilet room at the
end of the car and jumped through the
window while the train was moving.
Chief of Police was notified of ths
escape and has given notice to the patrol
men to arrest Kirby should he be seen In

to do housework for them. A short
time afterwards Mrs Wahler proposed a
trip to Chicago via Detroit and persuaded
Miss Neese to accompany her.
Beginning of the End.
At Detriot the two women visited the
Office Of the Equitable Life Insurance
Company and Mrs. Wahler persuaded
her companion to have her life insured
for $5,OUO The policy was secured, but
at the request of Mrs. Wshler the girl
passed herself of as Mrs. Hugo Waller
and the policy was made out in that
way.
Shortly after the whole family moved
to South Bend, Ind, and Miss Neese
went with them. Suddenly Miss Neese
became i'll and complained Of nauseau
and her face began to swell. She knew
that she was being systematically poi.
