Mrs Bot affirms with great positivencss that
the violin Is the one which had been stolen from
her The story OF It's recovery is especially inter
esting. 1t Is said that the arrest OF Flechter was
due almost entirely to the shrcwdness OF an ANA
teur detective. who was moved to work on the
by his sympathy for Mrs Bot. This man Is
II. =. burden officer OF the Canadian
Pacific Railway. and accomplished musician,
who some six months ago met Professor Bot at
the homo OF Assistant Dlstrict-Attorney Allen In
whose charge the case has been for n year.
Various circumstances which came to Mr.. Dun
don's knowledge. led him to open negotiations
with F1echer for the purchase OF a Stradlvarius.
But. owing TO the dealers professed inability to
procure the desired instrument In a short time. the
negotiations remained open until the death OF
Professor Bot. On that same day Flcchter. II Is
said sought out Mr.. Dundon. with the informa-
ton that he had secured the coveted Cremona
fiddle Upon various pretcxts. 1t Is said. the dealer
refused to produce the violin. which he professed
to have In his possession. until last week. Upon
the promise OF a chance to sell the violin for $500.
the story runs, he finally consented 10 take 1t
to Mfr. Dundons rooms.
Accordingly last Tuesday he went with the violin
and was induced to play It. while the supposed
intending purchaser accompanied him on the piano
