RETURNS TO BRIDGEPORT.
Arrest Here of Man Accused of $12,-
900 Robbery

George w. Cornwel the compesitor and
telegraph operator. who was arrested yes
terday by Detectives Weldon and Bur-
lingame for the police authorities at Bridge
port, Conn. was turned over to Detective
Edwin Cronin of Bridgeport this morning,
and the two men left here on the 10 o'clock
train, CorIlwel agreeing to return without
the formality of requisition. 1t is charged
that the young man robbed Mrs. G. A.
Lumpkins of bonds worth $1,000 and about
$1,000 in jewelry in January OF last year.
He was arrested at the time. but the charge
against him was nolle pressed and he was
discharged from custody. It is stated that
the case was revived because of the interest
taken IN it by two newspaper reporters.
They are alleged to have followed persons
interested in the case and to have seen
them recover about 5000 worth of the
bonds where they had been secreted In
building where Cornwell had been en-
ployed.
Since last January several of the alleged
stolen bonds have been found in banks, one
of them, 1t Is stated. having been recovered
from bank In this city. Mrs. Lumpkins,
1t Is stated had money invested in some of
the so-called ''get-rich-quick' concerns in
which J. j. Ryan was largely interested,
and at the time of Ryan's failure Cornwei
was occupying apartments in her house.
He was then holding an important position,
and Mrs. Lumpkins, 1t is stated, was adj
vised by the young man to sell her holdings
and buy bonds and jewelry for the purpose
of guarding against the loss of her prop
erty through business failures. She fol-
lowed his advice and the disappearance of
her bonds and jewelry occurred.
One Sunday night in January of last
year Cornwell had some relatives spend the
evening with him. and they called upon
Mrs. Lumpkins and her daughter. 1t was
while the visit was In progress that the
property is charged to have been taken
from q bureau drawer in the apartments of
Mrs. Lumpkins. Cornwel, 1t Is stated,
complained that he was suffering from the
toothache on the occasion of the visiting
in question. and when he went for some
thing with which to relieve the pain, 1t is
His arrest followed, but he was released.
The morning after the alleged robbery. 1t
is stated, Mrs. Lumpkins had only 30 cents,
and was therefore thrown upon her own re-
sources. Her daughter, who was attending
school, learned the millinery business, and
the mother and daughter opened an estab-
lishment at Canaan. Conn, where they had
formerly been in the habit of residing each
summer.
1t is stated that about So, 600 worth of the
bonds were secreted in the building men
toned and that two reporters, who had
watched the movements of lawyers and
others connected with the case, detected
two of the latter getting them. The case
was afterward reopened and the police
started to search for Cornwell. They
learned that he had found employment IN
this city and his arrest followed yesterday.
Cornwell was greatly surprised when the
detectives placed him under arrest
