Detectives Horne, Hartigan, Helan and
warren reached the conclusion Yesterday
morning that Burroughs would stand inyes-
legation and they started out to find him
They learned that he was sent to the
dressing room Saturday afternoon with a
bundle of laundry and they also ascertain
ed that he had taken days leave. Then
they found that he had been visiting
places where he must necessarily have
spent money. In addition to this he had
purchased new suit. The robbery was
what the police considered an inside job
from the first Thinking something might
be learned by accompanying the troupe to
Buffalo, Detective Baur made the journey
to that city
Burroughs belongs to a family Of that
name who lived near the Chain bridge
Until few weeks ago he boarded at the
house of his sister. 1901 Both street
Georgetown Later he moved to 3O4S NJ
street, where he had a room Early last
night he was found on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. by Detectives Hartigan ana Horne and
two diamond rings and s62 in cash were
| found in his possession. About the time
Burroughs was arrested Detectives War
rem and Burrows were searching his room
| in the Georgetown house and Detective
| Trumbo was making an investigation in
the county. The brooch, the most valua BILE
piece of jewelry that was taken, was found
in the room and the search was kept up
| until nearly $1,000 worth of plumber and
| the channels bag had been found
The prisoner was taken to police head
| quarters. where he had talk with Cant
| Boardman and the detectives He told
them all about the robbery and explained
| that he had spent more than 500 Of the
| stolen cash. He said he knew Mrs will
| son had the valuable diamonds and that
| when he took the laundry to her room he
| intended to get the valuables If possible
| After looking about the room he found the
| chamois bag under Mrs. Wilson's hat. At
| the time of his arrest he had not disposed
| of any of the diamonds. Several pieces of
| the jewelry he had left in charge of a wo-
| man he had visited last night
| The prisoner was photographed and
| measured at police headquarters this
| morning, as the detectives think they may

| stolen money where he spent it. AS the
| case stands Mrs. Wilson cannot possibly
lose much more than 800. The prisoner
| will be taken to the police court for a

of the company today to vote stock as

of theif losses by the investment of money

pitiful in their expression of restitution

business. Expressions of disgust were
divided about equally between the manage

Angered the Scotch Waiter.

From the Youths Companion.
Worthy Scots are reported having no
inclination for lamenting the death of Max
O'Rell. The reason is contained in one re-
mark of Highland waiter who had refused
to serve the Frenchman at table
ITS no to be expected" said he, that
a self-respecting Scotsman could serve him
with ceeveelity. Did he no say we took
to the kilt because our feet were too large
to get through trouSers?"
