Time in Minneapolis.
Fred. EnrOth, with Pile on the Rounds,
Arrested, and Makes a Full
Confession of Crime.

Robert Pile, a well-to-do farmer

land contract at the Grand Central
hotel, Minneapolis, Saturday even
ing, and the next day Fred. Enroth,
who was with Pile shortly before
the robbery, was arrested on the
charge of having committed the
theft, and when placed through the
sweating" process by the Mime
apolis police, he broke down and
confessed to the theft.
Enroth, Pile and woman who
gave the name of Jennie Johnson,
but is also known to the police under
the alias of Jennie Ray and Jennie
Birkhofer, were together in room
at the hotel Saturday night. The
three had spent some time in saloon
during the afternoon and Pile had
shown his new friends the money,
which he had in an envelope in his
overcoat pocket.
Pile threw his overcoat on the
bed and left the room for few
minutes, and when he returned En-
roth excused himself and disap-
peared. When he again reappeared
Pile went to his overcoat pocket
and discovered that his money was
gone. He called in the proprietor of
the hotel and the latter notified the
police, with the result that both
Enroth and the woman were placed
under arrest. Pile was held as a
witness.
When Enroth was searched Satur-
day night the money could not be
be found and he insisted vehemently
that ne was innocent, saying that he
did not even know that Pile had the
money. He was contradicted by the
woman, who claimed that Pile had
shown them the money. In the
