Racine, Wis. oct. 1.-Two men, &C
cused of writing letter to Mrs. Rich
ara u. Robinson, demanding $4,000
ard threatening the lives of herself
and family if it was not paid, We're
brought here by Chief of Police PTS
ter from Milwaukee, where they were
arrested. They are Frederick Stock
ing. SO years old, and II. r. Miller, 81,
ard they are brOthers-in-law.
Stocking broke down when taken be
fore Chief of Police Jannsen at Mil
waUkee and confessed enough to make
1t certain to the police that they have
the right men. Miller remained stub
born, denying be was in any way con-
nected with the threatening letter, but
admitting that he knew the man who
wrote It.
Threatened with Death.
On Sept. 10 Mrs. Robinson, wife Of
R. II. Robinson, cashier of the ]. |.
Case company, and herself a daugh-
ter Of Stephen Bull, one of the found
ers OF the company, received letter
posted $4,000 to the credit Of Luther
Roman in the First National bank. Chi
cagO. she and members of her family
would be In danger Of death. The let
ter was said to be sent by a band Of
ten desperate men.
Mr.. Robinson consulted with AttOr-
ney T. T.. Kearney, and acting under
his advice sent the money to the bank
in Chicago Sept. q. The day the
money was deposited the Chicago bank
received a letter from Luther Roman
directing them to transfer any money
deposited IN his name to the First Ma
tiOnal bank of Milwaukee to the credit
Of III. d. Miller.
Denied knowledge of Deposit.
On the receipt of this letter the
bank officials called up Miller at Mil
waukee and he replied over the tele-
phone, denying any knowledge of the
deposit. Some days after he sent the
bank a bill for S1.4O for telephone serv-
ice, the handwriting being similar to
that in the Robinson letter.
In the meantime detectives shadow
ing Miller found that Stocking was his
brOther-in-law and that they were
very intimate. Later it was learned
tEat Stocking, who was a clerk in a
Milwaukee department store. had been
I'm Racine last spring, experimenting
the decorating and refurnishing of the
Robinson house for his firm, and it is
supposed he laid his plans at that time.
The easy manner in which the
money was handed over is supposed
to have made them careless.
Attempt to Get the Money.
BE this as it may, Miller called at
the First National bank at Milwaukee
and showed letter purpOrting to
come from Roman. directing the bank
to turn the money over to Miller. Mil
Ter said he would bring copy Of
Romans signature, and when this was
received it was compared with speci-
mems of MilIer's handwriting by ex-
pertS. who declared the two identical.
The next time Miller called ut the
bank lie was accompanied by an at
tOrney. and endeavOred to get the bank
to turn the money over to him. In
this ne was unsuccessful. The final
development came i'm the arrest of the
two men. The Milwaukee police had
been hard at work and were we'll pre-
pared to spring the trap.
