| Waterloo, Dec. 3.-Thru the rare de-
tective qualities displayed by Sheriff
| Law which brought about a confession
| from the girl who had stolen the money.
the roll of bills stolen from Mrs. Mary
White, pastry cook at the Irving house.
| last Saturday, were found and returned
to the woman yesterday afternoon and
| Lizzie Young, a laundress in the same
hotel confessed to having not only TAX
en- this roll of money, amounting to
SiS5, but $40 from one of the employees
about year ago.
The story of the loss and recovery of
the money is an interesting one. What
adds to this interest is that the loser of
the money consulted clairvoyant, who
told her the roll of bills had been sent
out of town and were past recovery.
But Sheriff Law ruth7essly upset all
this fine spun theory of the clairvoyant.
Last Saturday Mrs. White, lady
about So years old, the pastry cook of
the hotel, took the money, which was
composed OF four twenty dollar bills,
seven tens and some small change, to
the kitchen with her To be sure the
money would not be stolen from her,
the woman took the money tied up In
en- ordinary paper sack, wherever she
went She took it to the kitchen where
she worked in the day time and to her
room where she stayed at night. The
little paper sack with the precious roll
OF bills, her only earthly wealth in
money form, was her constant COM
panion. Just why she thought the
money safer thus than in a safety de-
posit vault is not plain, but this was
her custom.
Last Saturday afternoon the little pa
per sack and its precious contents were
mysteriously missing from the ac-
customed place In the kitchen. Realiz-
ing her loss. Mrs. White was nearly
heart broken. The savings OF years
had disappeared, with little prospect
of ever being found.
SUSPICION particularly pointed to the
laundress and she was confronted with
such circumstantial evidence as the
officer had been able to weave about
her. She broke down and confessed
that she was the guilty one and further
said she had stolen $50 from one OF the
employees about a year ago. When that
money disappeared it was Impossible to
get reasonable clue as to where 1t had
gone, and this confession by Miss
Young clears UP not only the recent, but
the remote theft
The sheriff arraigned the woman be-
fore Justice Kern and her case was con-
tinued until Friday. In lieu of ability
to give bonds, she is now in the county
jail. The charge against her is grand
larceny, the penalty for which is pen
itentiary sentence.
