Recovered.

Recovered.
Special to Times Republican.
Waterloo, Dec. 6-Because he did
not have money enough to leave town.
Roy Knapp. the youthful thief who be-
trayed the woman who befriended him,
is again in custody.
Claiming that some Irresistible pow
err outside of himself and beyond his
control impels him to steal. and very
penitent that he had taken two
watches belonging to those who had
befriended him, Roy Knapp, 10 years
old, little more than street waif, was
found yesterday in the barn on the
McMurrin premises In West Waterloo.
where he had been taken in thru the
kindness of Miss Phoebe McMurrin.
He had spent the night in the barn,
and owing to the cold and disagreeable
weather was unable to sleep much. He
had in his possession the two gold
watches stolen from the bureau In the
McMurrin home Tuesday morning, and
turned them over to the owners. AS he
did so he confessed. in answer to a
question as to why he took Them that
he could not resist an impulse in him
which prompted him to take things.
He said he knew it was wrong. and es-
pecially so to steal from his benefac-
tors. and wept as he confessed his mis-
deeds. Officer Wetlaufer went to the
McMurrin home to get the lad and
found him taking a bath. Miss Nc
Murrin gave the boy a good talk. in
which she counseled him to resist that
thing in him that impelled him to take
the property of others. She said If she
could feel assuredthat he would not steal
again she would taken him back now,
even in the face of the theft of the two
valuable gold watches. The officer also
talked to him and advised him to "cut
OUT that sort OF conduct and be lit
tie man in whom his friends could re-
pose confidence. The lad was SEEM
ingly much affected by the heart-to-
heart talks given him. but he has sim
ned away his day of grace. and will be
committed by the Juvenile court to the
Boys Industrial School at Eldora
There is little doubt that Roy would
not have fingered about the city after
taking the watches. but part of his
plan miscarried. He had forged a
check for $50 on a local bank and failed
to cash it. Thus he was without mon
ey to get away from the city, and so
he fingered about Tuesday carrying the
watches in his pocket.

wrong in the room of Miss Theresa

in Minneapolis. This is attributed as
the cause of her attempt to take her
