HARDENED FHIEf.
Another Story About Young Warmers
Wrong Doing.
Stole Pocketsook Containing $500 In
Checks at Board Of Trade.

Edward Warner, the young man
whom Judge Sweetland last Wednes-
day sentenced to the Providence coun-
ty jail for 80 days, for obtaining tobac-
co and money from a boy left in tenn
porary charge OF a grocery store on
Pine street and whom he also SEN
tenced to pay a fine of $50 and costs
for over driving horse which had
been obtained from a stable keeper by
falsely representing that it was order
. ed by and for the use of a well known
attorney-at-law, appears to have fig
ured in many questionable affairs 9TH
er than the long list enumerated by the
News.
While Warner was serving sentence
at the Sockanosset school for over driv-
ing a horse he made his escape and
came back to this city. A few hours
after his arrival here he sneaked into
the Board OF Trade building and took
from a coat which had been left hang
ing over chair, a pocket book con-
tanning more than $500 in checks, some
of which were certified.
That day he was picked up again by
the police and returned to the reform
school and there the stolen property
was found in his possession.
The owner OF the checks was noti-
fed and went out TO Howard and re-
covered them, but being moved by
Warmers tears, refused TO enter a for
NAL complaint upon which a prosecu-
tion could be based.
Warner sought 10 play the goody-
goody role when he reached the county
jail last Wednesday, asking If he might
not write letter TO his mamma He
was in.prmedithat the county Jail was
quite different from the reform sI>1ol
and that he must conduct himself
strictly according TO the Jail rules.
Warner wanted TO know IL he could
not have his liberty at the expiration
or three months, and was told that he
would spend the greater part of a year
as guest OF the state.

In the police investigation OF the case IL came
out that Harry Barnett, who lived at the Knick-
erbocker Club and who died there month or SO
before had shown symptoms OF fnercurial poi

and II was found that he had died OF cyanide OF

That was the beginning Of tho trouble for the

Somebody got an idea that because in the
Adams case the poisoner had used salt to
mix the poison with. In the Barnett case he
must have used another salt and because a
box oi Kutnow salt was in his victims room
