STOLEN GOODS FOUND

Forty-flve days ago Louis Bertole was
released from the penitentiary at Mounds
Vile, w. Va, because Of the kindness Of
President Roosevelt. Last night he was ar
rested in this city and Is expecting sem
tence to the prison at Trenton because of
his bad conduct here, or a home in the
Maryland prison for q robbery committed
in Baltimore Sunday morning two weeks
ago. The stolen property was taken from
him and he admits his guilt In the two
cases.
Other property was taken from him and
is held at police headquarters for identif-
cation.
Bertole was seen last night to enter the
tailoring establishment of NJ. F. Seltz, 1882
E street northwest and helped himself to two
bolts of CLOTH He was followed from the
store to his room at 400 Louisiana avenue
northwest a few doors below police head
quarters, where he was arrested by Detec-
tives Pratt and Peck. In this room the de-
tectives found the two bolts OF cloth ana
some Thing like 81 600 worth of property
that had been taken from the store of the
Kann Brothers Silver Company, 303 West
Lexington street, Baltimore. This property
included silver spoons, hand mirrors ana
silver match boxes
Bertoles wife, who was occupying the
room with him, was very much anectsd
over the arrest of her husband. The prop
erty found in the room had been packed
for shipment to Louisville. KY, and all
his effects. Mrs. Bertole was also placed
under arrest last night, to be held while
the detectives are investigating the charges
against her husband.

Both Under Charges.

Bertole is held on a charge of burglary
while charge of receiving stolen goods is
filed against his wife. The property taken
from the Baltimore store will be turned
over to the owner. What disposition will
be made Of the prisoner. Bertole, has not
yet been determined. Capt. Boardman is
anxious to have him tried where he will be
put out of the way for the longer period.
1t is more than likely that he will be tried
here first and that Baltimore will get him
after he has satisfied the law for his offense
committed here.
The prisoner speaks several languages,
and 1t is said he served as interpreter while
he was in the Moundsville prison
Samuel s. Kann, the Baltimore silver
smith. arrived here this afternoon and
identified the property which 1t was stated
belonged to him. 1t was returned to him
and he left for Baltimore after thanking
the police for their work In effecting the
capture.

A Native Of Switzerland.

Bertole is a native of Switzerland and ia
about fifty-five years old. His first appear
ance in this city was in January 1901, when
he robbed several stores. He took several
hundred dollars worth of fountain pens
from the stationery store of Charles @.
Stott, some drawing material from the place
of business of Frederick Schmidt and cigars
ana pipes from the cigar store of Robert
farrls. Three weeks after these robberies
We're committed he was arrested in New
York and brought here. His name was
given as Louis Bertole. alias Bartel while
nus WIRE name was recorded as Margaret
Bertole, alias Ryan. The woman was ar
rested at that time and her photogra oh was
taken and placed in the gallery with that of
her husband. Mrs. Bertole was not tried
but her husband was sentenced to six years
at Moundsville. His plea at that time was
that he had been induced to steal because
he had lost all his earthly goods during the
flood in Galveston Tex.
Mrs. Bertole followed her husband To the
West Virginia penitentiary and secured a
position in a hotel at Wheeling about
twelve miles from the prison town. Ber-
tole was given a position of trust in the
prison and his wife was able to make fire.
quent visits there because of the extra
privileges granted him. During the time
she was employed in the hotel she saved
her money and when she returned to this
city and stopped at a boarding house on 9th
street she was able to pay her bills Her
return here was for the purpose of being
where she could take more active part in
the matter of securing pardon or commu-
tation for her husband. Attorney Laskey
labored in behalf of her husband and the
President finally signed a paper directing
his release. He came to this city and has
since spent his time between here and New
York, visiting Baltimore on more than one
occasion. A bank book issued to Louis Bar
tole by the Marshall County Bank at
Moundsviile. West Va. makes it appear
that the depositor had 81, 125 in the bank. 1t
Is the opinion of the police, however, that
he had only $125 on deposit and that he
had changed the figures to make them show
the greater amount.

The Discovery Made.


The capture of Bertole last night was
brought about by a colored man named
George Matthews and a white man named
Bryant. The former is employed as janitor
of an F street building and last night he
noticed the suspicious conduct of Bertole
in the vicinity of the tailoring establish
ment. He saw Bertole watching the place
and saw him follow Mr.. Seltz after the
latter closed his store after O'Clock, going
far enough to satisfy himself that Mr..
Seltz was a safe distance from the store.
He then returned and succeeded in effect
ing an entrance by using skeleton key
Rertole remained in the place only long
enough to get possession of two bolts OF
cloth and when he left he was followed by
Bryant who had been told by Matthews of
his suspicious.
Bryant had done detective work before
he told the officers at police headquarters,
and he was right at home last night when
he got his eye ON Bertole. When the latter
entered the building where he had room
Bryant hurried to headquarters and inform
ed the detectives of what had occurred
Less than three minutes later Detectives
Peck and Pratt entered the mans room.
It's all up was Bertole's remark when
he realized that his callers were detec-
tives.
Bertole had a loaded revolver in his
pocket, but made no effort to use it. At
police headquarters he regretted that he
had not taken his wife's advice and thrown
away the bunch of keys that he had for
the purpose of entering business houses
after hours.
only last night" he remarked, "she told
me to throw my keys out the window, but
something in me seemed to tell me not to
do it,"
AS soon the officers found that the
silverware in the mans possession had
come from the Baltimore store they not,-
ned the authorities of that city and off,

vestigation.

happy hunting grounds which God had
prepared for those who loved and fol-
lowed Him. The thief on the cross was
not forgotten in the Scriptural story.
This part of the sermon seemed to APP
peal with peculiar force to Geronimo,
about whose withered face played wan
smile
The New York Herald says that when
the sermon was done the doors Of the
little church we're thrown open and
Geronimo and his IL companions passed
inside. They moved to the front and
there. through the medium of inter-
prefers, they professed their love for and
faith in the white mans God. They
wanted to walk the way Of Jesus"
they said, and atone for the deeds Of the
past.
Then Geronimo and the others bowed
their heads In turn and we're baptized
'In the name of the Father, the Son and
the Holy Ghost amen" Thus the grim
old warrior who had terrorized the
southwest for years and defied the
majesty Of the great fathers govern
ment became Methodist and set his
face serenely toward the fast setting
sun.
The story of Geronimo and his tribe
OF hostile Indians is not unfamiliar to
American readers The tribe was for
years the terror of Arizona and New
Mexico, where they killed and burned
without mercy. Men, women and even
children were their victims, and, not sat
isfied with ordinary murder, they often
mutilated those they slew.
Many attempts to capture the band
and bring It to justice were made with
out success. Finally Lieut.. Gen Sheri-
dan planned the pursuit, capture and
destruction Of the band. The expedition
against the outlaws was led by the late
Gen. George Crook, who came into close
conflict with Geronimo March 25, 1886.
To the demand for an unconditional
surrender the Apache chief declared that
he would give himself up only on con-
dition that the band, with their families,
be sent east for period not exceeding
two years and that they be then returned
to the reservation. On the way the In
dians escaped. Gen. Crook was then
succeeded by Gen. Nelson A. Miles, and
there followed the memorable pursuit
of Geronimo and final capture.
Gen. Miles and Maj. Gen. Lawton cor
nered Geronimo in the Four Peaks
basin, near Prescott, Ariz. After
months of starvation and after all hope
of cutting their way through the cor
don Of troops surrounding them had
gone, the Indians raised the white flag.
They were first sent to the military post
at Mount Vernon, Ala, but the climate
there did not agree with them. Many
! Of the band died from consumption.

STICKS TO COACHMAN.
Couutess Russell Bccom Reconcile,
to Bill Brown, Who Masque-
raded as a Prince.

The announcement that Countess Ma
bel Russell has forgiven and become
reconciled to her husband, a coachman
named William Brown, who married her
last December under the title of Prince
Aphrobald Stuart de Modena, has
caused much gossip in London. Countess
Russell, at the time Of Browns convic-
ton for making false entry in the mar
rage entry, said she would have moth
ing more to do with him, and that she
would try to secure a divorce. Now
however, she says that, although he
wronged her, she will stick to him. She
claims she will not lose her title by heI
marriage.

been more discussed than the countess

in his profession. Twelve Of the men
who had followed him into many revel
Of death and destruction also joined the
church After the ceremony they went
back to prison, where, in the custody of
the United States government, they may
spend all their days.
Rarely have the simple prairie folk Of
the west seen such a ceremony as that
which made Geronimo and his little
band part of the great army of Chris
tians. The minister's words were
chosen as though he were talking to
little children. On one side was pic

other the Apache warriors. Each tribe
had It's interpreter, standing in the fore

that era, long gone by when the idea
prevailed that the pope should take the

prophecy pointed to Svampa, and that
