MAIL ROBBER At TWELVE
Bernhardt L. Hoelerler Was a Desper-
ado of True Western Type.
he Held Up Postal Car-Released from
the Reform School Under the
Poor Convict Act.

Twelve years OF age and desperate
of sunny haired, blue-eyed Bernhardt
Hoelerler, released from the District of
Columbia Reform School yesterday under
the poor convicts' act by Judge Samuel G.
Mills, sitting as United States commits
sioner, at his office, No. Git Louisiana
avenue.
Bernhardt, as young as he was when the
crime was committed must have been a
thorough desperado, or the court would
never have sentenced him and his equally
youthful companion to pay the heavy fine
OF 81. 900 each. The record of the case,
as seen at Judge Mills office, shows that
the young desperate was charged OH two
counts with conspiracy to rob and robbing
mail car of the United States He was
tried and convicted on May 16, 1892, be-
fore tho United States circuit court for the
southern division of Eastern Tennessee
the crime having been committed near
Chattanooga. In default of the heavy fine
he was sentenced to serve at ''hard labor
in the reform school of the District OF
Columbia.
Hac Bernhardt remained at his place
OF detention until next May he would have
served three years, but his father heard
or the poor convict act which releases
prisoners after serving certain term, pro-
vided there is afine imposed and the prisoner
cannot pay it. He employed counsel and
together they came to Washington and Sc
cured the boys liberty through this pro-
cess.
1t is said young Hoelerer and another boy
procured pistols and after making up a
plot to rob one OF the mail cars that run
into Chattanooga proceeded with Jesse
James-like GOODNESS and daring to carry
the robbery into effect. They ''held up"
the mail agent in true Western fashion a the
points OF their reyolvers and then rifled
the car OF its contents. 1t is also related
that the boys wore masks and drefrainedfrom
entering the car until it was detached
and standing upon a siding-a feature of the
robbery they had carefully calculated
upon.
Efforts will be made, it is said, to secure
the speedy release OF Hoelerler's COM
panion in similar manner Bernhardt's
father attributes his sons desperate act
10 flashy dime novels, which he was very
fond of reading.

SAID TO BE A SWINDLER,
Charles p Parker Charged With Bun
Going Frances Wells.

Judge Miller yesterday continued the case
offa;sc pretenses against Charles P Parker,
tn, alleged bogus financier, who is charged
with having buncoed Frances Wells, con-
fidng colored woman, of No. 1923 Thir-
tiAth stieet, out of several hundred dollars.
Ii is stated that Parker received from
Mrs. Wells $300 to be invested in gram in
NV York. in such manner that she would
recei - SO per month on the investment for
al inc finite period Later he pretended
to her that lie had borrowed $500 &c e from
a syndicate and would invest that also in
Philadelphia trolley car stock. This in
vestmcnt was to pay Mrs. Wells $40
monthly, making her total receipts from
both investments $50 each month, the
principal at the same time being secure.
She received the amounts, but Immediately
paid them back to Parker to be used in re-
ducing the mythical $500 Philadelphia
loan The whole transaction was said to
be clever swindle, and Parker was hunted
down by Detectives Lacey and Weedon. He
will BE- tried tomorrow.

for the payment of So a month alimony on

ceived on February IA last. the very day she
should have had So alimony. She says, that

is as follows: "After you kill this Dutchman
you will get all the alimony you want with u
string to it." o. W. II. r.
