A ABIGEXPRESS ROBBERY
Recalled by the Alleged Confess
sion Of the Robbers Wife.
FORCED BY THREATS TO STEAL.

Hardin, Who Appropriated S35, 900 from
tho Adams Express Company, Was, Ac-
cording to His Wife's Story. Under Com
pleta Subserviency to Charlton Eirod.
LOUISVILLE, Nov 10.-Some sen.at tional
testimony was given before Judge Barr
yesterday afternoon, which revives the
story of the theft Of Il S35, 900 package
from the Adams Express company few
years ago. Before the arguments intro
duccd in the suit of Mrs. Eugenla Elrod
against tho Adams Express company were
begun tho counsel for the express company
introduced as evidence an alleged confess
sion made by Mrs. Minnie B. Ketchum,
Charlie Hardin's wife In this confession
she states that her husband had told her
that Charlton Elrod got him the position
with the Adams Express company with
tho understanding that they were to steal
at least $1000,0O0 from the company.
ketchum told his wife, according to her
confession, that he was completely in FL
rods power, and that Elrod threatened to
have him returned to the Missouri peni-
tentiary for an unexpired term il he did
not do rs Elrod directed him to.
Using this same threat Elrod, 1t Is al.
leged, would force Hardin to give up his
salary as fast as it wes drawn, giving him
bnck only enough to i've on, and that in
amounts 81 and s2 at time Finally,
according to Mrs. Ketohum's statement,
Elrod's creditors pushed him too hard,
and he told Hardin to take what money
he could get. Hardin came home one
morning With about 81, 900, and said that
he had stolen 5000 and had turned the
most of it over to Elrod. They went to
Cincinnati, whero he gave Mrs Braun,
his mother-in-law, $1,000, with which she
bought house in Moreland, suburb of
Chicago. They made their home there for
a while, having gotten from Elrod s13, 900.
They then travelled over the country,
squandering the money, and when he was
finally arrested only small part of it was
left.
From time to time, she says, Elrod had
visited them and had gotten back rs much
OF the money as they would give him. Ac-
cording to her confession this nagging by
Elrod caused her husband to spend the
money and take to drinking. Before he
was arrested he had given his parents in
Arkansas g., 000 with which they had pur-
chased home.
1t will be remembered that Hardin was
acquitted Of this robbery in Nashville,
where he was taken for trial He is now
In the Michigan City Qnd. prison for an
other offense.
