While there was Il decrease of sew

has been Il great increase in the num-
Der of murders committed by highway
men, burglars, 'hOld-up" men and all
that class of criminals. Chicago in
this particular makes a gloomy Show
ing. The growth of this variety Of
crime has been steady for several
years. There were AGA in 1904, against
l06 in 1903, 3::S3 in 1902 and 1913 in
1901. Encouragement has been given
TO this kind of human slaughter by the
great percentages of guilty men who
escape capture and conviction. The
hanging of the boy bandits and appar

There was no response.

tlTcS. There was no response.
Then Kelly's relatives began to get
the idea that he had been done away
with. There was nothing wrong with
his accounts and no one knows just
how much money he had with him
when lie dropped out of sight.
Kelly's wealth has been estimated at
Il quarter of a million dollars, and this
does not seem to be an overestimate.
He seldom talked about his business
affairs and never had any entangle
ments With women. His habits were
as regular as the clock. SO the EN-
ploycs of the hotel where he lived
alone so many years testify.
The search for him was kept up in
the newspapers without result except
bringing forth a flood of anonymous
letters. Most of these letters said
Kelly had been murdered. They
worked on the nerves of his sister so
much that Oh January she advertised
here and abroad that $1,000 reward
would be paid for Kelly, dead or alive.
The reward attracted the attention Of
the taking dynamiter Rosseau.
Rosseau made a bluff to blow up the
Cunarder Umbria last May: Two
weeks ago he tried to dynamite the
statue of Frederick the Great in Wash
ington. Fresh from his Washington
bluff Rosseau turned up in Philadel-
phia a week ago last Thursday at the
home of Patrick Kelly, brother-in-law
of the missing man. To Patrick Kelly
Rosseau talked mysteriously about
Irish secret societies, plots and so on.
He declared that he was member of
secret society to which Owen Kelly
also belonged; that the missing man
| was l1eing held in confinement in this
city, and that money could not obtain
| his release.
| ROsseau volunteered to direct Pat
Kelly to his brother-in-law and let him
talk with him for few minutes for
the trifling sum of $500. To show that
he was bold, bad dynamiter he re-
turned on the following day by engage.
ment with Kelly and displayed an in
fernal machine. But meantime Kelly
had become sceptical of Rosseau's mo.
tives and called in the police.
The bluff dynamiter was nabbed
then, and that put an end to his clue,
There isn't the least doubt that he
was trying to get little money out of
the Kellys.
There are other persons the Kellys
would like to lay hands on for the
trouble they are causing. They are the
anonymous letter writer's. One of
them is most persistent fellow. He
has the Kellys SO worked up that they
think he may know something about
Owen Kelly. He writes in blue pencil
on letter heads and envelopes of the
Hotel Walton, Philadelphia. Some,
times he mails his letters in Philadel.
| phia and sometimes here.
His first letter advised the Kellys to
ask a certain Philadelphia 1rishman
what had become of the missing man
The man referred to is friend OF
Kelly and he has done as much in the
| search as any one. Nothing came OF
that blue penciled tip, so several
others of like nature followed. Last
Wednesday Patrick Kelly received
another blue pencil Hotel Walton let
