BOYS CONVICTED
Youthful Robbers Sentenced to Two
Years for Robbery.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.-Perhaps the youngest
persons ever sent to the penitentiary for post
office robbery are Arthur G. Waldorf and John
NJ. Bell, two boys who have been lodged in the
Sioux Falls penitentiary to serve terms of two
years each for the robbery on June 20 last Of
the postoffce at Loomis, little town In the
not guilty.
Bell was formerly a resident of Cherokee,
Iowa, where his father served two terms as
sheriff, while Waldorf claims Kirksville, No.,
as his home.
They carried out the details of the robbery
in true dime novel style. About o'clock in
ing masks their faces, they suddenly APP
peared at the Loomis postoffce and held up
Postmaster Smith and wife while they robbed
them OF cash belonging to the government and
a quantity of postage stamps.
A few days later the two fugitives were ar
rested at Minneapolis. They were returned to
South Dakota, and United States grand jury,
which is now in session in this city, indicted
them for the Loomis robbery.

BETRAYED FOR $4,000
Cunliffe's Whereabouts Disclosed by a
Former Friend.

Bridgeport, Conn. Oct. 21-Edward
George Cunliffe, the 100000 Adams
Express robber of Pittsbnrg, was cap
city by James Missett, a wine clerk en-
Sployed in local hotel.
Last Monday Missett saw Cunliffe
in the fremont hotel and told him that
he was Cunlife. "No, you're wrong,''
said Cunliffe.
"But, Cunliffe, I do know you,' in
sisted Missett: " W. used to play pol
been %stake mffo orf somebodg ue ese seT
eral times lately. I wonder who it
can be.
Missett went to the Pinkerton agency
and told them that he had located Gun
life. He exacted a signed agreement
from the Pinkerton agency promising
to pay him $4,000 reward. Upon secur-
ing this, Missett told the story and four
city, where they made the arrest.
Part of Loot Recovered.
The chances that the police will re-
cover nearly the whole of the SOL 900
stolen by Cunliffe seem bright. 49, Last
night $9,065 was found in a trunk be-
longing to a butler in prominent fam
lily at Black Rock, but the butler and
the family by whom he is employed are
found was within the house.
| Altho there is possibility that the
remaining $1o,500 has been destroyed,
the police are Of the opinion that an.
other accomplish of Cunliffe may re-
veal the hiding place Of the missing
sum. In round numbers, 100000 has
been found After figuring on about
$500 as, the amount which Cunliffe has
spent. or which was found on him when
arrested, there remains the sum of $1O,
500 yet to be accounted for. &. *S i
Chance Acquaintance Had It.
The discovery Of the money in the
Black Rock home was brought about
by keeping a close watch on one OF
Cunliffe's chance acquain tances, George
Eisenman, who was with Cunliffe when
he was arrested yesterday morning.
According to Eisenman 8 story, ht
met Cunliffe in a cheap hotel Wednes
day night, the two being together fol
some time. Cunliffe had a package
with him, and as the men were about
to leave each other, Cunliffe said that
: he wanted Eisenman to take care o.
the package, as it was laundry which
he wanted to keep in a safe place
Eisenman took the bundle to his sis
ter's house, 6SS Nash street, and wher
alone opened it and found the big sun
Of money.
Captain Arnold of the detective blu
reau, who knows Eisenman and wht
saw him with Cunliffe when the latter
was taken, went to the home of Eisen
mans sister and found the bundle o:
shirts, but no money, and he suspected
that Eisenman had distracted par
of Cunliffe s plumber. Eisenman wa
Swallowed and was seen to give a small
package to. his friend, the butler. Las
q night Eisennan was taken to the Blacl
Rock house and asked the butler TO
the package. He went to his trun]
and turned it over to Captain Arnolt
intact. The butler had not been toll
what was in the package. Captain Ar
mold would not reveal the name of tn
butler or the family which employe,

Eisenman was taken to police head
quarters, but was released later.

Pittsburg, Oct. 21.--Edward G..
Cunliffe, who committed the 100000
theft from the Adams Express com
pany, and who was captured Thursday
at Bridgeport, Conn.,, is a thoroly ex-
hausted and 'fatigued person today.

diately taken to the Pinkerton detec-
tive agency, where he was put thru a
process of sweating which lasted
until 4:so O'Clock this morning. Gun.

Defies s'Third Degree
Notwithstanding the severe examin-
alton given Cunliffe, it is said no adj
ditional admissions were secured from
him. He is unusually stubborn and
seems to feel that he has already talked
to omuch for his own good. The pris-
oner was exceedingly aggravated when a1
he was told nearly $4,000 more Of the
dry package in Bridgeport. 1t is be.
lieved he will remain stubborn about
the remaining $1,000 and will reveal
it's location only when he Is assured
of clemency by the courts.
Rumors of i'll treatment said to have
been accorded Cunliffe during the
"third degree" process are persistent
While it is known food was taken into
the examination room about o'clock
this morning, it is not known whether
Cunliffe partook Of it. One important
feature Of the "third degree. system
is that of eating food before hungry
prisoner.

Requests by Congressman.

Il cat every session of congress the
committees on printing of both the
house and seEate are deluged with re-
quests for printing sof special reports
and additional copies mot already au-
thorized by the printing laws, notwith-
standing the fact that the appropria-
tions for printing have been practically
doubled within the last ten years.
Had the printing committees of the
house and the senate acted favorably
upon requests that were earnestly urged
from conscientious motives, the last con-
gress would have faced AIN expenditure
Of So 100000 on special printing alone.
''1The committees Of the last congress
considered these demands SO enormous
in the aggregate that early after their
organization they decided to pursue q
policy of the most rigorous scrutiny and
discrimination. AS. a. result, they re-
duced this item Of expense, as compared
with the two preceding congresses,
more than so per cent and reduced this
item of expenditure more than quar-
ter of million dollars This convinced
the committees that, a, substantial saw
ing could be made along the line and
led to the creation Of this investigation
