painting a sign on the side OF building,
and Price said some one came up be-
hind them and after striking Price
a blow on the back OF the head,
the satchei was torn from bis grasp and
the highwayman escaped. The strange
part of the occurrence was that no one
saw the robbery, although the street was
crowded with pedestrians and police
man was stationed on the corner. Price
has made q statement to the effect that he
alone was responsible for the loss OF the
money. He said that he had made up his
mind all the week that as soon az he was
sent to the bank to get the money he
would steal ii. lie said that for some
time he had been living with young wo-
man named Bella lyons and that be
wanted to ut up fiat for her into which
they could move. He said that In order
to DO this he had to have money and the
robbery was arranged by him and the
girl, that she was to be at the bank when
he went there to get the money for the
firm and that as soon as he got the cheek
cashed he would place the money in a
take it home. AS he and Scott went to
the bank yesterday Bella Lyons was near
the door of the bank waiting for him.
After the paying teller had given him
the money he placed II in the satchel and
as he passed out OF the door with 1t he
passed it to the girl and she went on
with II.

blocks down broadway when suddenly
Price shouted that he had been robbed.
Scott had not been In the scheme to rob
his employers, and thinking that the
robbery really did occur he run with
Price around to the station house and
told Police Sergeant Parkinson all about
1t in the best faith. When Price had fin
isbed his confession detective hurri ed
to the house of the LYONS woman. At
first she denied that che knew Price and
also that she had any acquaintance with
the robbery. After being told that II was
no use Of her denying, bhe broke down
and began to cry and admitted that she
was party to the robbery. She said
that the money, which was still In the
satchei, was at the home of her mother.
The detective went TO the mothers
home and found the satchel. 1t con-
had been taken out and spent. The % girl
was then taken to the Mercer street sta
