Wells. Fargo & Co. everything he had
that represented money stolen from the
company.

Confronted with such proofs of his
falsehoods as We're established by the
statements of his San Francisco
friends, the prisoner was yesterday
obliged to weaken. He finally admitted
that the sack which he took from the
scene of the robbery may have con-
tanned S20, 600, but he was certain 1t
was not more than that.
The officers, however, do not believe
him. They are satisfied he got away
with $4,000 or more, and making due
allowance for his lavish expenditures,
they believe he has still a considerable
sum slowed away somewhere.
Harmens himself can account for only
about 1000, and says he must have
blown in" the rest at the races and in
other ways. He has turned over every
thing the officers have been able to find
notes of Kordt for 5000, Peterson's s
note for 81 900, $40 20 cash in his
pocket, a watch worth $40, diaqond
stud worth $50 and a diamond pin
worth 500, the s. 049 II in the Ger
man Bank, trunks and valises filed
with costly raiment. imported cigars
and wines, and a variety of articles, a
list of which appears below.
Among his acquaintance Harmens
claimed to have had his wealth for some
time and to have travelled nearly all
over the world enjoying it.
MONTE CRISTo OUTDONE.
Sheriff Johnson found Harmens' room
such as only a prosperous man of the
world could afford 70 have. He found
stacks of love letters from women Of
the half-world type. They were filed
with endearing expressions, We're all
addressed to MY Dear Karl" or Karl,
My Sweetheart" and after assuring
him of the depth of their affection in
veriably wound up with a request for
him to send "a ten,' or "a twenty" or
fifty" Among his papers was a re-
ceipted one nights wine bill of $50,
showing that Karl was one of the
highest of rollers.
The "Old Tramp Kari of 1894 had
suddenly become transformed into the
Coal Oil Tommy" of to-day. There
were numerous photographs of the
modern Monte Cristo, and in each he
has a female companion-a different
one each time. In the language of the
day, Karl was "a pudding" for a certain
set, for he lavished mis- wealth upon
those who fiattered him
A TRAMP'S OUTFIT.
When Sheriff Johnson and Under
Sheriff Black and Deputy Fitzgerald of
San Francisco visited Harmens' room
the former took possession OF every
thing they found Sheriff Johnson also
induced the landlady to give up a
twenty-dollar piece that Harmens had
paid in advance for his room, and a dia-
mond pin he had left in her keeping.
The Sheriff took an inventory of the
things found in the room, and here is
