of misery and poverty to relate. Some
OF them showed their sunerings by
their pinched and careworn faces. and
some were evidently professionals.
Among the latter was a Polish Jewess.
The moment she got into the room she
dropped into a chair and began to weep
and o n W Sob told
her story. She said she had just come
all the way from Omaha In search OF
her husband, a lady's tailor. who had
deserted her. She had heard he was in
Butte, but when h arrived here she
found that she had been misinformed.
She said she was without money or

told her they could not help her. She
was still crying when she left the room.
but her tears were quickly dried when
she got outside. II was afterward
learned from the police that the woman
had been in Butte for a long time, and
a few weeks q she was arrested for
robbine a man.
Another applicant for aid was a
young girl. She came from Great Falls
some time ago. and prior to that time
had lived in Seattle. She said she was
not married. and named a Seattle man,
with a family, as the father of her
child. She aid the man had refused to
provide for her or the child. and she
was a to support herself. She said
she could not get employment because
she had the child with her. and asked
the county to relieve her of the burden.
She was referred TO the auditor. but
the latter's sympathies were not won.
and the young woman left without the
promise of assistance.
The number of wives who have beer

of the arrest the woman confessed to a

the next day against all four and a time

his eyes while Benton extracted the
pocketbook containing the money from
Lenders pocket. She gave as her ex-
cuse for revealing the circumstances Of
the robbery that Benton a suisse
quently refused to give her her share OF
the booty.
on the strength of this Information
the woman and Benton were again ar
rested and held at the city jail, pending
the action of the county attorneys Of
nce in the case. but Deputy Attorney
Stivers thought there was no use or
waiting to secure a conviction on the
information he had received and wrote
a note to the police department To re-
lease Benton In the face of this action
Chief Mulholland released the oma
as he could see no occasion for holding
her If Benton was to go free.
Yesterday City Detective Murphy got
wind that an effort was being made to
fix Lender and get him to leave town
by paying him back a few of his stolen
dollars. He communicated all the facts
TO County Attorney Stapleton, who gave
orders to have the parties arrested. De
tective Murphy took in Lender, to pre-
vent him from being sent out of town,
and Officer Sheehy found Benton last
evening and arrested him. 1t is likely
now that Clara Bell will also be rear
rested and she and Benton prosecuted
for the robbery.
