An ACT OF RESTITUTION
Remarkable Recovery OF Money
Through . Confession.
81. Louis Globe Democrat.

81. Louis Globe Democrat.
Jack Corder. OF independence, Mo. was
in Jefferson City today and received from
Ole church OF that city, q draft for $500.
There Is an Interesting story connected
with the money. which comes back to its
rsghtfui owner after a lapse Of thirty-two
years.
During the war Mr. Cortier lived in La
fayette county. at the place now known
as Corder. Having q sum OF money In
gold amounting to several hundred dollars,
he buried 1t In his barn. His place was
shortly afterward overrun with soldiers,
and when he went TO get his money, after
the war had closed. II was gone. Il was
supposed that II had been found and car
ried away by the soldiers, but now il
transp!res that ne.ghbor OF corder got
the money. He divided 1t with another
neighbor The man who found and appro-
prsated the coin died twenty Height years
ago. but the man with whom ne divided
lived and prospered. Some time ago, be-
Ing in III health. he confessed 10 q priest
his part in the transaction, and by the
counsel of the spiritual adviser at once
took steps TO make restitution.
The draft for $500 covered the original
amount and interest. The confession is
supposed TO have been made In st. Louis.
and Father Hoog. who lived for many
years in lafayette county. probably fig
ured in the matter on that account. The
name OF the party making the restitution
Is. OF course. q secret. known only to cul-
pr.t and confessionaiist.
