CUNLIFFE
 GOES BACK Appears to be Sorry Enough Now.
Accompanied the Detective to Pittsburg Without Any Fuss Claims He Burned Some of the Money.

Bridgeport, Oct Edward George Cunlife, the Adams Express employe Who disappeared from Pittsburg, Pa, with $10O,000, and was arrested here yesterday, started back to Pittsburg With the detectives this morning, leav- ing this city at sos. Cunliffe seemed more low spirited today than when he was first captured. He explained this by saying that he had hoped to arrange for lenient treatment after reaching Pittsburg by trading on his secret as to the whereabouts of the stolen money. The fact that the de- tectiyes had recovered $S0O00 of the money in Bristol last evening had re- moved the prisoners hope in this re- spect, however. Cunliffe, after being told by the detectives of the recovery of this money, said that he had burned the rest of tkSs amount stolen, about 10000, because the biRs were all of large denomination and all on the same bank, making 1t dangerous for him to carry them about.
 The discovery of the shipment of money to Bristol came about through local employe of the Adams Express Co, who. after Cunllffes arrest, re- membered that on October 12 he was called to the Arlington hotel, where Cunliffe had room, and was given a dress suit case to be shipped to Brls- tol, care of the Electric Express Co. The driver informed the local manager of the Adams Express Co yesterday of this circumstance and detectives were at once sent to Bristol, where they lo- cated the dress suit case at the home of n relative of Cunliffe. Joseph w. Boardman. It had not been opened and contained SSO000 in bills, together with some clothing.
 Cunliffe, according to his own state ment, did not spend more than S150 during the ten days which intervened between his departure from Pittsburg and his arrest. His hotel expenses were small in this city, the little back room he occupied costing him only S2.50 a week. As farAs can be learned he mingled very spaK Kngly fin the so- cial gayety of that skction of the city where he made his headquarters, and his visits to saloons were usually made alone and quietly, with no lavish dis play of money.
 Although the detectives are inclined to accept Cunliffe's story that he de- stroyed part of the stolen money. one of them still remained here to-day to complete the investigation of the case The other detectives, including Super intendent David C. Thornhill of the private agency. went to New York with the prisoner.
