Means Of Clever Story.
HI: Instead Of Leaving 5000 600 They Abstrac.
$4,000 and Escape.

New York. Dec. 1.-THE World will
say. tomorrow: Two clever confidence
men. believed to be Americans from
descriptions furnished by priest in
Italy, whom they robbed of $50. 600. it
is thought, may be on their way to
this country. and the police Of all the
large cities have been notified to watch
for them.
The story Of the robbery, whicn
reached the city, today, says they got
from the safe Of the Jesuit institute
al Turin, $4,000 funds Of the institu-
ticn. The Rev. Father VI. Crosse Of the
Society Of Jesus, the superior of the
institution, was their victim.
Two well groomed men with polish
ed maners, apparently Americans,
called on Father Crosse a few nights
ago and told him they We're trust ees
of rich orphan boy whose father
had been killed in the Boer war.
They said they wished to place the
boy in the priests care and have him
educated in the institute. They ex-
plained they We're custOdians Of $780,
900 belonging to the boy, which they
desired to leave for safe keeping in
Father Crosses hands. The priest con-
sented to assume charge Of the boy
and to accept the custody Of the funds.
The men thereupon produced several
bundles Of what purported to be bank
notes which. they suggested, should be
placed in the safe. Father Crosse
opened the safe and the men placed
therein the bundles. They then de
parted. stating that they We're going
10 Milan, whore they had left the boy,
and would return with him shortly.
Father Crosse waited several days,
and when neither the men nor the boy
appeared. became suspicious and went
to the safe. He found that bank notes
aggrega Ting $50, 600 had gone, and that
the bundles Of supposed bank notes
left by the men We're only waste paper.
The men, the police say, abstracted the
funds from the institution under the
eyes Of the priest while placing their
counterfeit bundles in the safe.
