ing was captured within
five blocks Of his residence
at 834 Lakeview av. at l
o'clock this afternoon by
City Detectives Ed Grif-

gave the name OF Charles
Heltsley. He Offered no
resistance when the officers
placed him under arrest.
He was unarmed. When
asked where he hid the re-
volver with which he held
up Stern, Heltsley said he
''sloughed' il in his resi-
denee. Heltsley told tho
officers that he must have
been crazy, and that he
guessed he had all that was
coming to him.
In a statement made this
afternoon Heltsley said he
had made a deposit Of SIS
on some furniture, which
he insisted on being re-
turned to him. When this
was denied he went and
got a gun and forced tho
return Of the money.
Heltsley is a carpenter
who seems to have a con-
siderable amount Of mon
