CLEW IN LOOMIS CASE.
Il Doubtful Confession of Robbery
at SOutham ptOn.

London, Aug. ia man giving the name OF
Franz Schneider surrendered himself TO the Bir-
minghan police to-day. accusing himself Of
stealing papers from person AT southampton
believed 10 be F. Kent LOOMS
The Associated Press learns that there is no
reason 70 connect the late Mr.. Loomis with
schneider's story. beyond the mere mention Of
his name in the alleged confession. which is a
vague account OF how Schneider and two other
foreigners were hired by mar spea king with
Russian accent TO steal important papers from
a passenger arriving at Southampton on q Ger
man liner.
Schneider says they waited at the pier and
when the passenger reached the gangplank he
was pointed out by their employer. When the
passenger left the landing stage they seized him.
threw him to the ground. and Schneider. accord
ing 10 one statement, distracted from his
pocket large envelope containing papers bear
ing the seal Of the United States government.
Schneider says the next day he saw an ac-
count Of Mr.. LOOMS being missing. He de-
scribes the victim as being five feet nine inches
in height, about thirty-fve years Old. and hav-
ing brown mustache
Schneider IS about thIrty-ive years Of age
has the appearance of a tramp. and describes
himself as an engineer. He was renlanded for
a week TO enable the police make inquiries
Schneider says ne surrendered because he was
entirely without funds and had been in the Bir-
ningham Workhouse, but became tired Of stay
ing there. The authorities OF the workhouse
deny this statement They say Schneider has
not been an inmate Of that institution
Schneider asserts that he born in Eng
land. but he has the appearance of being
Austrian. He gave the police the name Of a
man who, he alleged, employed him to secure
the papers and also the names Of two others
said to be concerned in the theft. He as
serts that his employer was Russian, and says
that after the robbery all four slept in a ware
house Before leaving there he and his two as
sociates received S25 each.
The Birmingham police tonight say they are
convinced that Mr.. LOOMS was not the victim
OF the robbery, as alleged They will. however
investigate the case possibly disclosing an
other crime. but they discredit the whole story.
