Bridgeport, Conn, Oct. %. - The
chances that the police will recover
nearly the whole of the SOL 900 stolen
from the Adams Express company in
Pittsburg by Edward G. Cunliffe who
was arrested Thursday and taken to
Pittsburg yesterday seem bright.
Last night S9,065 was found in trunk
belonging to a butler in a prominent
family at BLACK Rock, but the butler
and the family by whom he is en-
r'oyed are ignorant of the fact that
the large sum found was within the
house. Although there is possibility
that the remaining S10.500 has been
destroyed. the police are of the opin-
ion lat another accomplish of Cum
life may reveal the hiding place of
the missing sum. IN round numbers
100000 have been found within the
past twenty-four hours.
Watch Chance Acquaintance.
The discovery of the money in the
Black Rock home last night was
brought about by keeping close
watch on one of Cunlitfe's chance ac-
quaintances, George Eisenman, who
was with Cunliffe when he was ar
rested. According to Eisenman story
, he met Cunliffe in a cheap hotel on
Wednesday night, the two being to-
sether for 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
of the package as it was laundry which
he wanted to keep in safe place.
Eisenman took the bundle to his Sis
ters house, and when alone opened it
and found the big sum of money.
Money Is Recovered.
Capt. Arnold of the detective bureau,
| who knows Eisenman and who saw
him with Cunliffe when the latter was
taken, went to the home of Essen
mans sister and found the bundle of
shirts, but no money, and he suspected
| that Eisenman had distracted a part
of Cunliffe's plumber. Eisenman was
Swallowed all yesterday and he was
seen to give a small package to his
friend, the butler. Last night Eisen-
man was taken to the BLACK Rock
house and asked the butler for the
package He went to his trunk and
turned it over to Capt. Arnold intact.
The butler had not been told what
was in the package. Eisenman was
taken to police headquarters but was
released later.
Attempts Bribery.
Two other new features of the chap
ter of events in connection with the
capture of Cunliffe cropped out last
night, one being an attempt by Gun
| life to bride Capt. George Arnold of
the local detective force, and the 9TH
er being the story of betrayal by a
friend of Cunlifle for the purpose of
| securing the reward of $4,000 offered
for his arrest. During one of the
talks which Capt. Arnold had with
Cunliffe Thursday night the prisoner
made proposition to divide the $780,
600 which he had sent to his brother
in-law, Joseph W. Boardman, in Bris-
| tol, on the promise of secrecy
The betrayal of Cunliffe by his
| friend, James Missett, is interesting
Missett formerly lived in Bristol and
knew Cunliffe we'll. Last Tuesday Mis-
sett went into the fremont hotel bar
room and saw Cunliffe standing at the
| bar. Missett went up to him and said:
hello, Cunliffe; what are you do
| ing here?"
Cunliffe turned around and pretend
ed not to know Missett, who was sure
of his man.
Gets the Reward.
The next morning Missett went to
/, New York and visited the Pinkerton
agency.
Gentlemen he said, 81 know
where Cunliffe is and want to know
what reward is offered for him..
He was told $4,000.
! The Pinkerton people thought at
, first that Missett was crank, but he
assured them that he was in earnest,
and said that if the Pinllertons would
| give him written agreement that he
where the missing man could be found
| he would do so. This was agreed to
and Missett told them The arrest of
| Cunliffe followed.
Last night INSECT returned from
! New York with the $4,000 reward and
proceeded to spend il avishly through
| put the lower part of the city.
