2O-year-old sweetheart. today.
Rehard was sentenced to fifteen
months in the penitentiary for forgery
at Winterset. Shackled TO the leg OF
another prisoner he was led from a
train and taken to the city Jail.
Not far behind him came pretty
blue-eyed Miss Gray.
She says she VIII follow Rehard TO
the prisons door.
Officers We're aware of her presence,
but they made no effort to restrain her.
Rehard too, knew of the nearness OF
tine girl but i'm 1)es Moines he was
given no chance to speak to her.
1t was by means of Miss Gray that
Richard was apprchended IN Kansas
a day or two ago. After being found
guilty of forging the name OF orrls
brothers to Il note of two figures, Re
hart was out for a few days under pond.
one day he disappeared. He left one
clue-the girl.
The sheriff at Winterset knew that
If he watched the young woman he
| would very probably locate Richard.
He wasn't sure. however. of his abli-
ity to keep his eyes upon her.
So he asked the aid of the Des Moines
department.
John Finley, bright. young detective
of the Dies Moines force, was secured.
He was only short time in dlscoN-
ering that Miss Gray was planning a
4 visit.
one day she came to Des Moines and
| quietly took train for Missouri. Fin
ley boarded the same tram.
AS shrewdly as Cupid had managed
Miss Gray's affairs up to this point,
when she left Des Mones. she fur
nished the clew which ended i'm the cap
/ ture of Richard. All through southern
Iowa, into Moberly, Standberry and
other Missouri towns, Detective Finley
followed the girl, occupying seat

In Missouri the whole mystery was

WILL LEAVE CABINET.
Secretary Of Navy Morton Will Return
to Railroad Work on Sep.
$erohar

Washington, d. c.. May lit has
been stated upon competent authority
that, all denials to the contrary. Sec
rotary Paul Morton of the navy de-
partment will be out of the cabinet by
September at the latest. His retire.
ment will come as a result of his vol
untary resignation. President Roose-
Welt will felcitate him upon his serv-
ices and express regret that he finds It
expedient to sever his connection with
the government service. 1t has been.
known to MIR. Morton's colleagues IN
the cabinet for some time that he was,
dissatisfied with his tenure. MIR. Nor
ton does not like official life and has,
chafed at being in office. He has been!
importaned to resume his connection
with financial and railroad AFFAIRS
which are more to his taste. At the
same time gossip in official circles re-
ports that Mr.. Morton's retirement may
relieve the situation. 1t is a subject Of
current report that the prosecution by
the government of the Santa Fe alleged
rebate cases involves a possibility OF
Mr.. Morton figuring as one of the par
ticipants This, however, is matter
of rumor rather than of official state-
ment and may not have any connec-
ion with the coming retirement.
