the Cehses Police Believe That He was One or
the Mes who Rosbed Wiser HOrohoe.

CoHoEs, Aug. 27.-The police Of this city are
working on n startling theory tonight. They be-
licve that one of tho men who broke into the
home Of Miser Horohoc yesterday morning ana
robbed the old mar OF Sl.68s was Albert \
Warner, he fugitive New York lawyer, who is
alleged to be implicated in the Conway abduc'
ton case. A man who closely Warner
was seen on North Mohawk street early yes
tcrdny morning, several hours after the robbery,
BY n prominent resident Of this city. Tho Co
hoes man was so impressed by tho strangers
resemblance to Warner that he looked at
the man so intCntly as to plainly disconcert
him. Had n policeman been near the suspect
would have been taken into custody.
Patrick Hurohoe's description of one of the
men who robbed him tallies with that Of War
ner, except that so far as Horohoe remcmbers
the man did not have a mustache. II is more
than probable that Warner has shaved of his
mustachc TO lessen the chances Of his detection
and arrest.
Deputy sheriff Van Dercar, who Is working
on the case tonight in conjunction with the
Police Department, is positive that one OF the
robbers was Warner. who, after dividing the
proceeds of the robbery, fed TO Canada. None
OF the avenues OF escape from, Troy was
watched to-day, and IL Is not unlikely that Var
ncr went TO that city and took a through train
to Montreal. .

sion of her children. She will take them to her
sisters home in Waterford. Several people
who live near her and in Waterford are Ger.
tain that Warner has been in that vicinity
during the past week. Warner may have boon
lowering about Waterford, and yet did not go
near his wife for fear that tho house in which
she Is living Is under police surveillance. II
Warner had that belief he was quite right, for
ever since 1t was rumored that Warner had
been seen hereabouts the SChermerhorn house,
where Mrs. Warner il staying, has been closely
watched. \ number of persons have seen
that identification was almost certain, in Co
hoes within the past week.
On. Wednesday night q stranger went into
Israel Forbes's saloon on White street and
bought n drink. The man wore a heavy dark
mustache. While talking to the barkeepcr
his mustache fell of. His resemblance to War.
ner was so striking. Notwithstanding the re-
moval OF the mustache, that the barkeeper was
too amazed TO call in a policeman. The man
ran out OF the saloon and escaped, The police
think that he was Warner without doubt.
