LONDON, Nov. 15.-From a remark
dropped by Frank Floyd. who, with
Philip Scheig, is now in Hallowell jail
awaiting extraditiOn proceedings on the
charge of robbing the Bank of Mime
apolis. it would seem that Louis knows
more about Scheig's affairs and the
whereabouts of the unrecovered money
than he is generally credited with
knowing. The remark referred to was
made during an interview which an
Associated Press representative had
with the prisoner at Halloweil
President Richard Il. Kirby. of
the Minneapolis bank. cabled to
President Gillig, of the United States
exchange here, who represents the
bank, that he would take care of Floyd
and brother, and that the mother begged
him, referring to Frank Floyd, to tell
him. Mr.. Gillig, where the remainder OF
the money was hidden. Louis Floyd.
according to advices received here, was
arrested on the steamer WadsWorth.
Mr.. GillIg. after the receipt of Mr..
Kirby's message. had long interview
with Frank Floyd, but was unable to
prevail upon him to tell what had be-
come of the missing money.
An Associated Press reporter saw
Floyd soon afteI Mr.. Gillig had left the
prisoner. Floyd was evidently much
agitated about Mr.. Kirby's message.
and talked freely upon the subject, say
ing:
Il should be glad to tell if l knew
anything about the remainder of the
money, if there was any; but 1 don't
know anything. Mr.. Kirby says that
mother and my brother want me to tell
where the money is. He knows more
about the affair than l do. He managed
all the financial part of Scheig's
AFFAIRS
When pressed further, Floyd said:
Neither OF US know anything. When
we left home with Scheig l knew moth
ing about the money stolen, and thought
he was leaving on account of domestic
troubles. l changed my name because
[ was always known as a friend of
Scheig. and did not want them
to trace him through me. We
never had any of his money be-
yond what we spent. l knew he
had those deposit notes, and big FOIL
of bills. 1 saw the latter last at Charles
ton. On the night before we sailed /
saw the story of the embeZzlement in
New York paper, and that was the first
l knew of the affair. l taxed Scheig
with the embeZZlement, and he admitted
it. No, did not think it strange that
he was so flush with money, as he al
ways seemed to nave plenty of cash. |
told Scheig that we were certain TO be
captured, and that we had better make
the best time We could OIL the voyage to
Europe. A few days before we landed
Scheig was i'll, and he gave me his
money belt; this is the only money of
his that ever had.
IF you telegraph any of this to Min
neapOlis," said Floyd, don't let them
think that am going back on Scheig,
but l am ready to tell everything [
know of the affair, the same as l told
you. do not believe that Scheig had
more than $4,000"
Scheig admits all, and says that he
will tell everything when he gets back
to America. Floyd was dressed in
long white macintosh, and had a
queer-iooking cap on his head. Mr.
Gillig has kindly agreed to send meals
to both of the prisoners from neigh
boring restaurant.

yesterday that the eXtradition papers in

reached New York, and would be on
their way to England as soon as De-
tectives Lawrence and Hoy were in-
structed to start them, which will be in
day or two. Hoy aud Lawrence will
both go, as more than one detective will
