THREE CAPTIVES CONFESS
Williams, smith and Jefferson, Alias
Emerson, Tell Police of Their
Criminal Work.

The recent capture OF Lester Williams.
John Smith and Adolph Peterson, alias
Emerson, by the police continues to occupy
the center OF the staget in police circles.
Smith confessed to the burglary of the resi-
dence of T. E Brady, south Twenty-fifth
street. last Wednesday night. Williams has
confessed TO several of the recent holdups,
but the confession OF q Peterson made 70
Chief Of Detectives Savage Tuesday night
caps the climax.
Peterson was recently arrested under the
name of Emerson and sentenced to thirty
days in the county9ja During his incar-
ceration II was ascertained that he and
williams had been implicated IN the recent
holdups, but the full extent OF their opera
tions as now exposed have astonished even
the police Tuesday night Emerson con-
/ fessed that he and Williams robbed store
at Thirty sixth and F'arnam streets. escap-
ing on bicycles, when they were taken for
messenger boys. thus escaping suspicion.
A few months ago Peterson said he picked
the pockets Of four persons on the streets
in broad daylight, obtaining s1S from one
of his victims, $3.50 from another and a
9old watch from each OF his other two VIC
tins.
! Shortly after this Peterson said he and
williams held up a man at Twelfth and
Dodge streets, but obtained only $40 for
their trouble. Peterson also admits having
robbed two saloons within the last few
months and in the interim found time tc
hold up H. C. Mock. 27ls Jackson street, al
the point Of a revolver. which was knocked
| from his hand by Mock in his harry TO ele'
vate his hands heavenward. y
The police department Is congratuiatine
| itself over the capture Of the three crooks
and Peterson in particular. who is an ex
convict. as II is believed that Peterson and
Williams are the perpetrators of practi
calty all the burgiaries and holdups com
mitted within the last few months. in ad
dition to those to which they have con
I fessed to.

The Cat and x-Ray,

Our Tom Is as fine and brave a Maltese
house cat as one ever had, and a fighter.
but the other evening he entered into a
scrap from which he has not recovered
yet.
II seems that Milsncie, our queen OF
the Kitchen" had polished up her stove
with the new x-Ray Stove Polish. which
has the peculiar faculty of not burning
on from a hot stove. Tom came in and
discovered what he thought was another
cat on his stamping ground, but which
was his own reflection in the stove A
fight was on in an instant, and, accord
ing to Tom. the other cat was as ready
rs he. The result was a sad one. Poor
Tom burned his paws. upset a dish of
hot fat. and finally turned a double SOM
ersauIt backward out of the kitchen. and
has now transferred bis domicile to the
woodshed, and no amount of coaxing can
bring him back to the kitchen. House
wives must not use X-Ray Stove Polish
unless they introduce their house cat by
degrees, otherwise a catastrophe is likely
to occur.--Brooklyn Standard Union.
