Milwaukee, March 23.-That the bare.
footed thief, Sweet, alias Sullivan,
robbed three converts in st. Paul and
Minneapolis aid secured about $500 is
the substance of his confession to the
police as a result of sweat-boS
seance. The fact that he robbed
church folk alone may result in his
early release, instead Of confinement
in prisons of various states, is the re-
suit of his examination in court. When
he was arraigned yesterday Rev. ].
Beveridge Lee, whose home Sweet en-
tered, announced that he would prose-
cute him on the minor charge with q
hope that the police of st. Paul, st.
Louis, Denver and Chicago might be

the time he finished his prison term, if
he showed signs of reformation.
