sons return before anyone else was APP
prised of the fact that he was still
alive. she has perhaps been more
closely associated with the sensational
ease than has anyone.
II was Miss Caldwell who first gave
CUT the information Of Robsrtson's dis
appearance. shortly after S o'clock
Saturday morning she saw the unfor-

to speak with comparative calmness Of

Robertson was making these admls-

knew that he had returned. Searching

We're beating bushes over the hills In
an effort to find his body. The sheriff
ana a posse were out, and the police
knew nothing about his return.
The secret was well kept. No one
save those who had been IN and talked
with him knew that he had come back,
II was arranged that Sheets should
stay with him until 1O:S0, when he was
10 consult with his attorneys and then
give himself over to the police.
One OF the first things done by Coun-
Gilman Davis after leaving the house
was to retain the law firm of Powers,
Straup and Lippman. Judge Powers
was out Of town, but Messrs Straup
and Lippman went with Mr.. Davis to
the house at about $3.50 last night. They
found their client in no 1T condition to
discuss his case and all they could do
was to tell him 10 brace up and face
the situation like man.
When the conference was over, the
party, including Robertson, Davis.
Sheets, Straup and Lippman, left the
house through back door, getting into
a closed carriage on Eleventh East
street, They then drove to the residence
of Chief Paul Mr.. Lippman awoke the
chief, and asked him II there was any
charge against Robertson. He was told
that there was none, but that the po-
lice were searching for him.
