 and is Spending It Wildly.
 Bridgeport, Oct. 20.-The chances that the police will recover nearly the whole of the $1O1,OOO stolen from the Adams Express company in Pittsburg by Ed ward G. Cunliffe, who was arrested here yesterday and taken to Pittsburg to-day, seem bright. Tonight $9,O65 was found in a trunk belonging to a butler in a prominent family at Black Rock, but the butler and the family by whom he is employed were ignorant of the fact that the large sum was within the house. Although there is possi- bility that the remaining $10,5OO has been destroyed, the police are of the opinion that another accomplice of Cunliffe may reveal the hiding place of the missing sum. In round numbers $90000 has been found within the past tWenty-four hours. After figuring on about $500 the amount which he has spent or which was found on him when arrested, there is left a sum of $10,5OO yet to be accounted for.
 The discovery of the money in the Black Rock home tonight was brought about by keeping a close watch on one of Cunliffe's chance acquaintances, George EiseTman, who was with Cum life when he was arrested yesterday morning. According to Eisenman's story, he met Cunliffe in a cheap hotel Wednesday night, and the two were together for some time. Cunliffe had a package with him, ana as the men were about to leave each other Cunliffe said that he wanted Eisennlan to take care of the package, as it was laundry which he wanted to keep in a safe place. Eisenman took the bundle to his sis ter's house, 6S8 Nash sreet, and when alone opened it and found the big sum of money.
 Captain. Arnold, who knows Eisen- man, and who saw him with Cunliffe when the latter was taken, went to the home of Mrs. Nash and found the bun dle of shirts but no money, and he sus- pected that Eisenman had abstrocted a part of Cunliffe's pIunder. Eisenman was shadowed all day to-day and he was seen to give a small package to his friend, the butler. Tonight Eisenman was taken to the Black Rock house and the butler was seen driving in. Eisenberg asked him for the package which he had given him few hours before, and he went to his trunk and turned it over to Captain Arnold in- | tact. The butler had not been told what was in the package. Captain Arnold would not reveal the name of the butler or the family which employ- ed him.
 The betrayal of Cunliffe by his friend James Missett is an interesting feature. Missett formerly lived in Bristol and knew Cunliffe we'll. They had been to- gether a good deal when Cunliffe lived in Bristol and Hartford, and at the present time Missett Is employed by one of the cheap hotels in the section of the city in which Cunliffe was cap- tured. Last Tuesday Missett went in the Fremont hotel bar-room and saw Cunliffe standing at the bar. Missett went up to him and said, Hello Cum $ life, what are you doing here?" Gun life turned around and pretended not to know Missett, who was sure of his man. Missett, after taking a good look at Cunliffe again addressed him, saying Why, you know me; I'm Missett. You used to play policy with me in Bristol Cunliffe shook his head and said Mis- sett was mistaken, as he had never be- fore seen him. Several persons have taken me for somebody else lately" he said, in the way of blind, and at that moment a thought sprouted in Missett's head. He left the bar-room in a hurry and when outside inquired of several persons the amount of the reward off, . fered for the capture of Cunliffe Af- ter finding that there was a substantial sum posted for the capture of the fugi- tive Missett decided to go to New York and took the first train Wednesday, for that city. On reaching there Missett went directly to the Pinkerton agency i'll Broadway and had long talk with the superintendent. "Gentlemen," he said, 'I know where Cunliffe is and I want to know what reward is offered for him." He was told and then he said he could lay his hands on him, and that he knew just what he was doing. The Pinkerton people thought at first that Missett was a crank, but he as- sured them that he was in earnest, and said that if the Pinkertons would give him a written agreement that he would get the reward if he told them where the prisoner could be, found, he would tell them. Not word would he tell them unless he had written agree, ment in his hand. The agreement was soon forthcoming, and as Missett put it in his pocket he told them where Cum life could be found in this city. Ar engagements were made to come here al once and after working together for several hours in the local Tenderloin Cunliffe was seen and the following morning, yesterday, he was arrested.
 Missett, with $2,5OO in cash, the amount of the reward which he collect ed in New York, returned to Bridge port tonight and proceeded to spend if in a reckless manner throughout that part of the town known as the Tender loin. He spent his money on anybody and everybody, and it was figured that it would be gone in one or two more nights if to-night's pace was kept up The police late tonight released Eisen- man after a long talk with him.
