Joseph Kinder, of urivitz, was ad-
judged insane at Marinette and com
mitted to the Oshkosh asylum. He
has been in the county Jail for over
a month past, and during that time
has not spoken a word. The only

God has forbidden him to talk, and

silence. He was employed in shin

Developments in the case of the robbery
OF the home Of Mrs. Olivia c. Starring.
l455 Massa sachusetts Avenue northwest.
took something of sensational turn yes
terday when Inspector Boardman. the
Chief of the Detective Bureau. announced
that he was morally certain in his identi-
fication of Lewis Mortimer. alias Lewis
Mortimer Monroe, as Charles Roban. alias
Del De AFFORD and Mills, the notorious
thief and hoUsebreaker, whose picture
and record appear in the second volume
Of Thomas Byrnes' professional Grim
inals Of America Inspector Boardman
Detectives Weldon and Parham, and 9TH
ers are positive in their identification of
the ran, and it only remains for de-
tective from New York to reach here to
make the identification complete.
The detectives are equally certain that
Monroe is the man who is responsible for
the disappearance of the 500 in cash and
over $1,000 worth of jewelry from the Sc
cret compartment in the cabinet of Mrs
Starring's house He will be taken into
the Police Court this morning for pre-
liminary hearing on a charge of grand
larceny
From the statements of the detectives it
appears that Monroe came to this city
about two weeks ago from New York.
He secured rooms at a house on L Street
near the Dewey Hotel. How he secured
the acquaintance of Mrs. Starring is
something of a mystery, but it is said
that he has been quite a frequent Wis
itor at her house Of late. Monroe had told
Mrs Starring that he was an inventor
and that several years ago he had sold
one Of his patents for $4,000. He said
that he was also the inventor of a street
sweeping machine a half interest in
which was owned by other parties. He
desired TO secure a loan of 10000 from
Mrs Starring TO purchase that interest.
Yesterday Inspector Boardman was
looking over the pictures in Byrnes' book
when he came across that of ROhan. on
looking over the descriptive matter he
found that ROhan invariably represented
himself as an inventor and referred to
street sweeping machine which he invent
ed Several detectives were then sent 10
the Fourth precinct stationhouse, where
the man is confined, and returned thor
oughly convinced that Monroe and Rohan
were one and the same person. In every
particular the description of Rohan fits
Monroe.
None Of the property stolen from Mrs.
Starring has yet been recovered, but a
search of the territory in the vicinity Of
that portion Of the Geological Park where
ne is supposed to have been will be made
