 Louisville, Ky, Sept Il, 1904. MT Louis Huss, Waterbury. Conn:
 Dear Sir: have just returned from St Louis or l would have written yon before this, explaining about the young man met on the train and how | made him confess to me- I got on tho train at New York, Sunday. the 4th inst, at 5:30 D. m., and in the sama seat i'll sleeper with me was young man wearing dirty and torn clothes and shoes about to fall from his feet.
 During the evening I saw him take out a wallet containing considerable money. His looks and actions aroused my suspicious so that decided to ash nlm few questions. l took him into the smoker, where we were alone. He nnally became free after some severe questioning and told me whom he had robbed. He gave me the money to keep until morning. The amount mt that time was $645, the balance having been spent for ticket and sleeper to St Louis.
 kept him in the car the whole of the next day and did not permit him to talk to anyone. Upon arriving at St Louis Monday night at 9:45. I put him in hotel. I then went to- the Planters hotel and wired you so as to be certain the boy was telling the truth. He as to meet me the next morning al 1 o'clock so that I could put him oh the train and send hin home. But he disappointed me think frN 41 F., f.. went to the fair and came to see me the following morning at '. I took him to police headquarters and had q talk with the chief of police We came to the conclusion that the boy was not bright and was very anxious to get home again. He seemed sorry for what he had done and we sent him home alone. I trust he came home and that this will be a good lesson for him. hope he will make man of himself and that you will not prose cute him.
 You are very fortunate to get what money you did. Had he got into St Louis alone some one would have robbed him, for he kept showing his wallet.
 After giving him enough money to take him home and paying for the tele- grams and few little items, sent you the balance. $629, by express. which I trust you received.
 hope to have the pleasure of hear ing from you and learning that the boy, Albert Noether has returned and asked your forgiveness and that you will grant the same.
 With best wishes for better luck,
 Yours most respectfully,
 WALTER E. GLOVER.
 Regarding the prosecution of Noeth- CT, the matter has been taken out of Mir Husss hands and he will not be q voluntary actor in it. The authorities have undertaken the prosecution of the boy independent of those who were likely to suffer, both in funds and reputation, by his theft.
 From the start suspicion was di- rected towards him. He was seen in the vicinity of 192 North Main street several evenings prior to the sensation al theft of the money, and he has ad. mitted since that he had watched Miss Connerton five nights wrap up the proceeds of the days business in the store and depart for home with the money in her possession. Everything shows that the theft was premedi- tated and it is on that account that the authorities are acting independents | Nv Of Mr. Hl1sg
