turned home, but being bothered, he
at last went to Michigan City 10 satisfy
his own mind, and at least dispose of
the foreboding which had so persistent
ly held onto him. When he was usher
ed into the cell occupied by Williams
he found himself face to face with Rev.
Amos T. Whitman. Whitman was
game to the last. He did not finch or
turn a hair. He maintained he was
Williams. So we'll did he act the part
that the prison officials believed him.
and after Welker had labored in vain
two days in trying to dent his man,
they rather insisted that the prisoner
be spared further sweating" It was
on the third and last day that Welker
at last fouled and broke down his
man. Whitman told the story of his
affairs, and told Welker where he
could get some of the horses stolen
last, when he did the stealing himself,
his gang having gone to pieces because
of the unprofitableness of horsefiesh. In
the prosperous days there were as
many as twenty-five persons connected
with the gang-three of them fashion
able women. who worked the cities in
the role of ladies going away for the
season and DESTROYS of disposing of
their family horses. There were men
to do the stealing, working out on his
plans, specifications and maps; others
to handle the horses and get them to
different points after they had been
turned over. There were groomers,
trainers, and in Illinois there was a
bleaching establishment. unearthed by
the officers some time ago, where by
process involving chemicals the color
of the animals could be changed. a
black could easily be changed into a
roam. After turning these bleached
animals over TO grooms, bobberS and
trainers. they would come forth in a
month entirely different horses. It was
the plan of the organization to take
only horses which were diamonds in the
rough, instead of well-groomed ami
mails, in which little change could be
made. Thus, after d months groom
ing, training and feeding, it is not at
all improbable that, as claimed, horses
were even sold back to the men from
whom they had been stolen. Above all
markets, which are under the eye of
mails were placed in the German army
through the German agents in this
country, who asked no questions;
scores of others found their way into
the United States army: others were
sold by the women, and others We're
easily handled in other equally safe
and novel manners. Whitman was the
brains and the head of the whole ma
chine. Though he is a scoundrel of the
worst stripe, he has points TO be ad-
mired His fidelity to those associated
with him has been praiseworthy- He
has given no one away to the officers
and is content to shoulder all of the

The Chimes Of Normandy.

The Opera House was packed last
night from stage to door. by one OF the
most fashionable audiences that has ever
assembled here. The occasion was the
presentation of the "Chimes of Norman
dy," three act comic opera, by the
Herald Square Opera Company, OF New
York. 1t would be invidious to make a
distinction where all did so will, but
there are always some characters that are
more prominent than others. and are
worthy of special mention. Among these
we might mention Miss Eta Stetson,. as
Germanie; Miss Kilkoyne. the queen OF
the Gypsies; Harry Carter, as Mar
quis of Corneyille; Tom Callahan. the
Bailie; and last but by no means least,
George ]. Williams, as Gaspsrd, the
miser. These characters could not have
been surpassed. Gaspard the old miser
was exceptionally fine. All the voices
were simply superb. and the cast through
out was one of excellence, as evidenced
by the repeated encores of the audience.
Tonight, the bohemian Girl will be
given. We predict for them an equally
packed house. Manager Sims is to be
commended for bringing such an excel.
lent company to our city.

Thief Captured and Confessed
Everything.


Last Sunday the postofice at Pecos
was robbed of about 25 letters and
several dollars worth of postage stamps
by an unknown person.
The theft was neatly accomplished.
One of the lock boxes was pr1ed ope
and both letters and stamps fshed u
with q sTick, to which q bent pin was
attached.
There was no clue to the perpetra-
tor but the suspicion of Postmaster G
E. Sapp fastened on q young stranger,
who had been lettering around the
town several days. He was arrested
and when accused of the crime broke
down completely and admitted the
charge.
The stamps and letters were all re-
covered. Most of the letters had been
opened and ri1ed of I'M valuables
which they might have contained.
The young m an gave his name as
Carl Fritze. Among his effects were
found q drummer's sample case contain
ing pocket knives, pipes, jews harps,
etc, which led to the belief that the
prisoner had been q travelling man be-
fore landing In Pecoa.
Fritze is only about 10 years of age
and is quite a boy in appearance. BE
said that he came from Baton Rouge,
La.
The assistant district Attorney for
the United States, Mr.. Foster, made
commissioner this morning and q war
rant vas issued. Meantime the young
man is being held in the Peco
