the halls of the hotel by the employees. When
Mr.. Hockster made it known that ne hao 0eeh

too She said that her strong box had been
broken into, and brought forth the box to prove
it. 1t turned out to be Of wood but there were
several scratches on it and or two deep
marks It so happened that pair or SCISSORS
that the woman had in her room fitted exactly
into the deere- cuts, This caused the detectives
to look upon her with decided suspicion, ana
two or three days later she was discharged by
Mr.. Hockster.
A month or afterward the police, who nad
had Won Baden under surveillance, arrested
him against the wishes of the Pinkertons, who
were also working the case The Ptnkertons
thought that the time was too early for an ar
rest and wanted the police to wait until some
attempt was made to dispose of the booty. The
result was that sufficient evidence could not be
adduced against the nun, and he was released.

about 1900 have never been recovered
