WILLIAMS WILLIAM

William Robinson looked like triplots
in the Police Court this morning. Police
Court attaches declared, after the tangle
Of the triple identity had been straight
ened out. they didn't know William
could be so numerous.
It happened in this way. On Saturday,
Policeman williams arrested Wilton
Robinson for disorderly conduct. Also,
Policeman Pearson arrested William
Robinson for disOrderly conduct. Where
fore, the puzzle.

known IN New York as Lady Alice"
IS the daughter of a New York mil
lonaire. who has been almost constantly
N the public eve for the last few years.
Captain Foxwelrs pretty wife, however
IS even more reticent than the prisoner
himself. She will not discuss her hus-
bands arrest nor talk about herself
Visits Husband.
Lady Alice" has visited her husband
at the station-house several times since
he was arrested. She called this morn
ing shortly after o'clock and spent a
half hour with him. Like her husband,
Mrs. FoNwell is apparently a person
OF good birth and excellent breeding.
She is pretty but 1t is not so much
her looks or her clothes that would at
uact attention from persons vino saw
her pass on the street; IL is the fact
that she is a woman exceptionally well
groomed.
She is a pronounced brunette. Her
complexion is of the olive hue, her hair
is jet black, and her eyes are dark and
large.
Her features are regular and strong
The lips are set with a firm determina-
lion. But now and then when she
smiles, she looks as IL life has usually
been rosy for her.
Shows Strain.
She shows the strain that she has
been under since her husband was
taken from their luxurious apartments
in the Connecticut last Saturday and
lodged behind barred windows In
dingy witness room In a station house.
She was dressed In a smart tailored
walking suit of dark blue when she
called at The station house this morn
ing. She wore brown suede walking
boots, and the short skirt just reached
10 the shoe tops.
As she tripped up the stairs to the
room where her husband is confined.
she might have been taken for a
school girl II would have been easier
10 believe that she was the daughter
rather than the wife Of the dlstin-
guished looking prisoner of fifty-odd
years. whose hair is tinged with gray.
and who is accused OF a series OF hnan-
cial operations that are said to have
netted him large sum.
But while she sat on the edge of the
little cot in the cell-like room holding
the hand Of her husband. who was in
ore of the small station house chairs
she seemed TO age perceptibly There
were lines about the mouth and III
eyes were full Of pity for the man she
loves
After leaving the stationhouse she
walked across the street 10 the post
eral delivery window, dropped a letter
IN one OF the boxes. and left bv the
Eleventh street entrance
You will have to excuse me-" she
said as a reporter approached her
She hurried out OF the building and
boarded a street car.

with him.
How would you like a little exsr-
else this morning?" one Of the detec-
tivts asked.

Hams shuffled back to his seat, drop
ped into his chair. and began again to
roll and unroll - lock of hair on his
forehead which has fingered con-
stantly ever since the trial was first
begun.
Later he was taken into an anteroom,
where his father and brother, with the
lawyers in the case. Joined him. Within

had been returned to his cell in the

graphed and measured. The captain
was very indignant at what ne termed
being treated like a criminal" he
and measured by the BertillOn system,
but the detectives told him it was use
less TO make any objection.
The "Third Degree"
From the gallery he was taken to In
spector Boardman's office, where he was
put through the severe cross-examina-
ton. After the police had questioned
him for about half an hour. Attorney
James II. Hayden. who represents Cap
tain Foxwell. was admitted TO the room.
Mr.. Hayden appears to think that a
grave injustice has been done Captain
Foxwell. He was also annoyed by the
newspaper men. Asked If he had any
statement to give out Mr.. Hayden said:
NO; absolutely no. He bit the
words off, sharp and short, and, turn
ing on his heel. accompanied Captain
Foxwell TO the station.
Captain Foxwell is charged on the
bIotter at Police Headquarters with be-
ing a fugitive from justice. There IS no
specific charge against him. He is SIM
ply being held for the action OF the
Boston authorities.
A dispatch has been received from the
chief of police at Boston stating that
an effort would be made to procure a
warrant today, a certified copy Of which
will be forwarded to Washington. The
police expect, however, that detectives
from Boston viii arrive some time to-
day.
Attorneys Advice
In the presence of the detectives. At
torney Hayden advised his client not
10 fight extradition. and return to Bos-
ton and face whatever charges may be
made against him. The arrest was made
at the request Of a representative of the
Growler Copper Company, from whom
Captain Foxwell IS alleged to have OBJ
tanned about $4,000 on the representa-
ton that he would float" the COM
pany's bonds, the money from which
was to be used in developing the mines.
Captain Foxwell is said TO have repre-
sented himself as the agent of the So
ciete Generate, a French financial insti-
tuition. Major Sylvester this morning
received an anonymous typewrf+ten let
ter. which stated that there was no
such company as the Societe Generate.
Captain Foxwell, the police say. does
not deny obtaining money from the
mining concerns. but denies making any
false Representations, and says that he
intended carrying out his part OF the
agreements.
