Munroe stands Pat.


As before reported. Harry Munroe. one OF
the men arrested for the crime, was wear
ing at time OF arrest hat bearing the same
initials on the old shirt found in the
Langfeld home. Sherlock Holmes once said
that shirts do tell tales when properly
placed. Munroe has 'etood pat" right
along and refuses to ineriminate himself
with the Langfeld robbery despite the evil
dence against him. Cummings weakened
and admitted he sold some OF the plumber
at the various pawnshops A woman in
South Omaha turned up some OF the Lang
field silverware. but 1t was believed she was
an innocent party and had no knowledge
of the crime. Whether she was the woman
who dined and wined in the Langfeld homa
Saturday night is yet a matter OF police in
vestigation.
Saturday morning DIR. Langfeld took oc-
casion to commend the Omaha police de-
partment for efficient work in running down
the criminals and recovering the plumber.
The doctor recovered sixty-seven pieces of
silverware and most OF the other articles
stolen. Some Of the plumber was shipped
to Denver. but will be returned at an early
date.
The police believe Munroe and Cummings
noted the movements OF several OF Omahas
prominent citizens at this time OF year and
picked oVt the doctors home as one OF sew
eral to be looted during the absence OF tho
occupants.

ROBBERS HAVE GOOD DINNER
Men Who Plundered DR.. Langfsld's Homo
Eat Meal There.
BOTH ARE BOUND OVER FOR CRIME
MunrOe Stands Pat on Plea of Not
Guilty, but Cummings Weakens
In the Preltmi-
naries.

1t has developed that the culprits who
gained entrance last Saturday night to the
home OF DR.. Willard Langfeld. 1852 Farnam
street, not only robbed the doctor of much
valuable property but held high carnival
In the doctors home for a night Harry
Cummings and Harry Munroe, arrested for
the crime, were bound over to the district
court by Police Judge Crawford Friday
morning.
When DR., Langfeld and family returned
from Philadelphia the doctor put on his
Sherlock Holmes spectacles and began an
investigation.
When the doctor entered his dining room
he discovered that two persons had sat at
his board. Two table napkins had beer dis
turbed and from the manner in which one
had been carefully folded and placed back
on the table he surmised one OF the party
had been a woman. On the floor he found
two seat checks of theater ON West Har-
ney street. On a chair ne found an old
shirt bearing the initials &c. G. E." Upon
taking an inventory OF his lost valuables
DR.. Langfeld noted his evening dress suit
was missing. He sat down with pencil and
paper and figured out that II X equaled the
man and the dress suit must have been
the man walking away from the house
wearing the suit. Neighbors reported thes
saw a man leaving with two suit cases.
According to the Sherlock Holmes way OF
reasoning the man had his old clothes la
one Of the suit cases.
