The act was evidently premeditated
as he had removed his coat, opened his
vest and placed the revolver. 22-cali-

"God bless mother and all, and
Beulah and save me. j. b. r."

NEARING SOLUTION.
LOUIS ARNo HELD FOR ABDUCTING
PEARL BUTLER.

He Admits to Justice Whelan That He
Has Been Procurer-Identifed by Two
Boys as the Man Who Had Inquired For
the Missing Girl.
DETROIT, Oct. 4.-The mysterious
disappearance of Pearl Butler, a young
girl ID years of age, was partially solved
Tuesday when Louis f. Arno, the sus-
pect, confessed to Justice Whelan that
he was a procurer. Later it was learned
that on Saturday, the day after Pearl
Butler disappeared, Arno went to a
woman up on Michigan avenue, whose
name is withheld, and tried to induce
her to let him take her little girl to
New York with him. He was so volu-
BILE and so persistent that the woman
had to drive him from the house. Yet
she thought nothing of the circum-
stance until Arno was arrested.
Arno told the woman that he was a
wealthy New Yorker, that he had $751;
600. He described in his voluble and
extravagant way the pleasures the little
girl would have riding in carriages
with fine dresses and all the rest. The
woman thought perhaps the man was
lonesome away from his family and ex-
cused his persistence. and thought him
q good-natured, foolish old man.
Amos manner, his petty cunning
and his hating mental operations con-
firm the story of the confession that he
made Tuesday, and incidentally bring
more closely about him the net of
circumstances in which he has become
immeshed.
Two little boys, Anton Burkhardt of
567 st. Antoine street and Leonard
Moeler of Benton street, called at the
station and identified Arno as the man
who had inquired of them for Pearl
They remembered that he had red
flannel cloth about his neck. These
boys saw Arno about o'clock. AT
about the same hour man by the
name of King says that Arno called at

inquired for the women of the house,
but King did not go out and did not see
