ON . eprss and Spent the
rrmfs Money.

As Napoleon Gette stepped OF the
Northern Pacific train from the East
yesterday morning. he stepped into the
arms of a couple of officers OF the law.
who were waiting to receive him. and
he was escorted % quarters at the city
fall instead OF proceeding to the home
OF relatives. whom he had contemplate
ed visiting.
A telegram which came to police
headquarters Friday from George A.
Hughes. superintendent of police at
Montreal, contained the information
that Gette was wanted in Montreal for
em~bezxlement. gave a description OF the
fugitive and requested his arrest and
detention. II was also stated he was
on his way Ia Butte and would PROB
ably arrive here yesterday morning.
Detective Murphy and Special Oficer
Ray were detailed to take charge OF
the matter and yesterday morning they
met the Northern Pacific train upon its
arrival. Gette was among the first pas
sengers to alight. The officers had no
diniculty in picking him out from the
description. and they at once took him
into custody. Gette did not appear
to be very greatly surprised and readily
accompanied the officers. At the police
station he made a clean breast of NJ
and frankly confessed his misdoings.
Gette said he had been a travelling
salesman for Moody & Sons. a Mon
treal firm. and vas intrusted to make
certain collections. He said he got on a
spree and while drunk spent the greater
part OF 500 he had collected. The bal

himself again and realized what he "a
done, he said he concluded he might
as well come on to his destination. He
said he was not the least surprised at
his arrest. as he had fully expected an
effort to capture him would be made,
but that he had no fears OF the con-
sequences and would willingly go back.
as he felt sure the firm was satisfied
he had not Intentionally defrauded
them. and would be glad to let him
settle. which ne said he was able to do.
Gette is an intelligent looking young
man. w~ell-dressed and has the appear
ance of a gentleman. The fact that
ne has relatives here. was what led
him to purchase a tickle to Butte. His
evident frankness in telling his story
impressed the officers with the idea he
was telling the truth. although they
a been given to understand the
amount of his defalcation was some
thing like $1,000 instead OF $500. as he
claimed. The Montreal officers We're
notified OF the arrest and Gette will lie
held until they are heard from.

Paris, August 25-Ernest Joseph Possel. the German who had been trying to collect a claim of 910 900 on life insurance policy issued to his wife, an English woman, by the Urbaine Insurance company, which had resisted payment on the ground that he had thrown her off a cliff near Florence, Italy, committed suicide yesterday evening at the Durang restaurant in the Place De La Madeline.
