His investigations resulted in tracing
to them robberies committed in Phila-
delphia, Allentown, Lancaster and
Harrisburg, Pa, and Newark, N. j.,
and other cities.
Their plan of operations was to visit
the principal iewelry stores, and while
te attention Of the statesmen was di-
verted slip a number of rings into their
pockets. These rings We're subsequent
ly pawned and the tickets destroyed
When arrested the girl confessed, and
while admitting that "Childress" was
not her husband, declared that she
would never desert him. Tonight, how
ever, the chief confronted her with a
new and sensational charge and she
has again confessed.
The latest accusation is that while
she and Childress were living in New
ark. n. j., where he gave hypnotic eX-
hibitions, she became the mother Of a
daughter. This child was named Ade-
line Patti willard, and the names Of
the parents given as Mr.. and Mrs
Frank Willard. When the child was
two months old. she took it to New
nd a1
street, whom she asked to hold the
babe. They complied. and she disap-
peared The child is now at Randall's
Island. Miss Muldrew. in her confess
sion to Chief Albrecht. said she got rid
of the child at the instance of Chill

Science Healer Prosecuted.

Philadelphia, Jan. lin it's final
pres.ntment yesterday, the Camden
grand jury handed up indictments
against Frank Kirby and William f.
Randall, growing out of the death, from

Pressing on the Spine.

South Bethlehem, Pa, Jan. l1.-John
Breiner is confined to his bed with a
singular malady with which he was
oVertaken about two weeks ago while
at work i'm an iron mill and the most
peculiar feature of his illness is the fact
that, while he has almost lost the pow
er of speech, he can laugh as heartily
as though he We're amused at his
strange misfortune, For long periods
he cannot utter a word
Last night Breiner suddenly burst
into a fit of laughter, and for three
hours laughed necessarily, although
those about him could detect nothing
unusual or funny to warrant such a
demonstration. His physician says his
ailment is due to a clot of blood press
ing on the spinal cord.
