NEW HAVEN Jan. 30.-A remarkable
story Of wrongdoing, involving the theft
Of $4,000 worth OF the most rare speci-
mems Of taxidermy, etc, in Peabody In
stitute at Yale by a professors son, col
lego graduate, has just come TO light.
Albert II. Veril, Yale '98, son Of Pro
fossor Addison Verril has been charged
with the theft but it is understood that
he viii not be arrested. He is still at lib
erty 90
The theft of specimens dates back sov-
eral years. Young Verril who is only "a
years old, spent two years in South Amer
lea after his graduation and came here a
little over one year ago. He was an expert
ON taxidermy, and during his course al
the university thoroughly acquainted him
self with the most valuable specimens in
Peabody institute. The Yale authorities
first discovered several months ago that
specimens were disappearing, but it was
not until ten days ago that itwas actually
known who was responsible.
Professor c. c. Marsh and Professor
Vorril, Albert's father, suspected that the
latter's son was the culprit. They charged
him with stealing large number Of arti-
cles. He at first denied that he had taken
anything, but finally acknowledged that
he had sold many specimens 60 European
and American dealers. He also said that
no had "A quantity, worth over 50, 1000, In
his possession. These were turned over to
the university. According TO his confess
sion, the total value of the articles taken
was about $4,000.

he bought a railroad ticket for Philadel-

ROBBERS ARRESTED.
Alleged 20 Have stolen s35, 900 From the
Wells Fargo Company.


DENVER, Jan. 20.-Pinkerton detectives
have arrested Express Agent Krout Of Col
orado Springs on the charge Of being Inn
plicatcd in the theft of S35, 600 from the
Wells Fargo company several months ago.
His father, who recently came to Colorado
Springs from Illinois, was also arrested
on a train at Wa,-onburg as he was leav-
ing the state, and about S4 500 was found
sewed up in his clothing.
The robbery occurred on the night of
Nov. 1 at the Santa Fe depot in Colorado
Springs just after the night train pulled
out south. George Krout, the agent, said
that two men had overpowered him in his
Office and taken two packages consigned
from Denver banks, which contained $685.
900, overlooking another package contain
ing $4,000.
As Mr. Krout had been In the employ
Of the Wells Fargo company for a number
of years suspicion did not at first point to
him. He told a very plausible story, and
10 was believed in spite of the fact that
the robbery was reported by him to have
taken place when the station platform was
fun of people. He said the robbers hid in
the Office while he was looking after the
express matter that came off the train,
and two masked men faced him when he
entered. They closed the door and locked
it, made him deliver thepmoney and at
the muzzle Of a pistol ordered him to get
into bed and cover up his head. There was
q cot in the office, and the agent said he
did as the robbers bade him, but be gave
the alarm as soon as they were Off. KrOut s
father. a farmer, came to Colorado Springs
from Cerro Gordo, Ills, Jan. 21. His nc
tions excited suspicion, and he has been
constantly shadowed. Monday he boarded
a train on the Gulf road, after having pur-
chased "a ticket for Fort Worth, Tex. De-
tective W. b. Sayres boarded the same
train and telegraphed Sheriff Farr to meet
him at Watsonburg Krout was arrested
and taken back to the Springs. He protested
that his name was Sam Jones, and that
he knew nothing about the express rob
berry. When he was searched 81, 600 was
found, most of 1t sewed to the inside Of
his shirt.

General Assembly.

Work Mapped Out for the Twenty-Flfth
General Assembly.
Des Moines, Ia, Jan. 1.-THE 25th
general assembly of Iowa will convene
next Monday at ten O'clock. 1t will be
the mcst important session in many
years, and already the politicians and
lobbyists are on the ground in large
numbers, and the hotels are crowded
AS if political convention were on.
There are many matters of great I'M
portance in the line of legislation to
come up for consideration, the ques-
tion of resubmitting to the voters of the
state the constitutional amendment
to incorporate prohibition in the fun
damental law of the state, and the de-
mand for law to legalize the manu-
facture of liquors in the state, being
chief. Then there is the revision of the
code of the state, on which commits
sion named by the last Legislature has
been at work for two years. Tbs re-
vision is a very complete one, and there
has been much opposition to it's adop-
tion because it changes materially
laws relating to insurance, building
and loan and other corporations. The
regular time for the session is three
months, but it is expected five months
will be required to complete The work.
II may be special session will be held
next winter to take mp the code re-
vision.
