Now" said Mrs. FoltZ. ''just let me say
a few words, and | will speak bluntiy.
Like many another woman THIS ltlie
woman now sees that she has Deen an iI-
fatuated fool. She loved this man with
his suave manners, brilliant conversation
ana gentemanly demeanor. ana 1elleseu
that he was one of natures noDlemen.
Knowing that he had her entire aHect'on
he was master of the situation. and cOuid
make her do anything.
when his villainy in Chicago was ex-
posed in the press here some weeks ago
ne fooled her by telling her plausible
stories about Mrs. Post being infatuated
with him aud giving him her diamonds as
token OF her love, and when be paid MS
attention to a Young lady she became
jealous and Indignantly prosecuted MIN,
charging him with stealing her diamonds.
He told her other things. and woman-like,
she believed him.
Now. however. her eyes are opened and
she knows him to be polished villain
instead of the noble gentleman she had
before pictured him. That is ali there is
about it so far as Mrs. Garner is concerned.
The mental agony she has endured and is
enduring since being undecelved 20 one
but herself knows.
80 far as the robbery is concerned she
and her son are perfectly innocent. and
expect to have them out on bail tonight.
Her uncle, Z. J. Baldwin. will be one of
the bondsmen and / cannot say yet who
the other will be, but plenty have offered

Harry Earle would make no statement
further than denying positively that he
was party to the robbery.

were friends"
Furnald was closeted with Captain Lees
Tor several hours. and after he had been
put through his facings he and Earle were
taken to the tanks in the old City Prison
and locked up. The captain last plight
acknowledged that he had not succeeded
In getting any definite information about
the stolen money and diamonds. Furnald's
closing remark 10 MIN being: ''As soon
as L engage an attorney and consult with
him l shall let you know what l will do.
AT 4o'clock in the aftern Don a reporter of
The CALL was admitted to see him. He
was seated in an easy attitude in big
armchair facing the captain. His legs
were crossed and there was a supercilious
smile on his face. He dresses well and
has pleasant and insinuating voice
On being asked if he cared to make a
statement he looked at the captain and
said, laughingly: well. as soon as l am
of the rack L NAV make a statement. but
don't know when that will be. The cap
tain has had me here for some hours and
till know what the upshot of this inter-
view may be / must decline TO give any
statement for publication.
Besides" he continued, Struggling his
shoulders, II had precious little sleep ON
the train and am really tired and want
rest more than anything else"
The detectives know that Furnald had
over $500 in gold with him when he left
the city for Los Angeles, but when he was
searched after his arrest only So was
found in his pockets. He had evidently
secreted the money along with the box
containing the diamonds. Every effort is
being made by the Los Angeles detectives
TO locate the place where the diamonds
and money have been hidden.
Captain Lees had also long interview
with Earle. He said the boy answered all
his questions In straightforward manner,
denying with the utmost earnestness any
completely with the diamond robbery
From the interview it was elected that
Furnald first became acquainted with
Mrs. Garner in Chicago Earle's STEP
father had purchased cigar-stand for
him. and Furnald, who is cigarette fiend,
was one of his best customers. Thew be-
came quite friendly and in course of time
Earle introduced his gentlemanly Gus
toner to his mother.
Mrs. Garner was not bailed out last
night and found quarters with Matron
Gilmore in the City Prison.
