CONFESSED WITH A SMILE.
Bigelow's Tranquil Admission Stirred
Brodhead Almost to Violence.

Special Dispatch to The Star
MILWAUKEE, Wis. April 29.-There
was a dramatic meeting of the looter and
the robbed this afternoon at the home Of
Frank c. Bigelow, defaulter for 1900 600
when the ex-president OF the First Ma
tional Bank calmly confessed to John
Brodhead of Kingston, n. Y, that he had
robbed him of over 100000. Brodhead
had not seen Bigelow since his arrival here
till this afternoon, when he hunted up
the defaulter a the two-story cottage which
Is now the home of Frank Bigelow and
his wayward son. What transpired at the
conferences is not disclosed but ii is known
that Brodhead was stirred by the con-
fession that he was on the point of strii-
ing the defaulter when his counsel re-
strained HIM
Brodhead on entering the cottage, asked
Frank, what have you done to us? Is
it true?"
The defaulter smiled, and was perfectly
calm when he replied that it was true. He
said he did not know the exact figure, but
it was over 100000 that he had taken from
the Empire state man. The figure he said,
was about sl45,0O0.
At this calm confession Brodhead au-
swered that this was the reason why Blge-
low had deferred the settlement of the es-
tate.
Bigelow nodded and then the two went
into private conference.
