CHLOROFORM YARN
WAS PURE FAKE
WOMAN STOLE MONEY FROM
soARDER, THEN TOLD Po-
LICE FAIRY TALE.

Mrs. George Hier admitted To the
police. Friday night. after submitting
10 q trying examination AT the hands
OF Lieu. Baker and Precinct DeteC-
tives Redmond and Repp, that her
story Of being chloroformed in he:
home, No. 1881 East Grand Boulevarf,
wednesday evening. by two men who
afterwards stole S22 from the trunk OF
John Luth, boardo., was fake. SHE
herself took the money, she confessed.
and sent 1t TO an Oncle out In the
state.
The police were satisfied from the
start that the story was framed mp.
and conducted their Investigations
along that line. But il was not until
the officers confronted her with evil
dence that she had purchased chlor-
form from neighboring drug store
two days before the robbery" that
she weakened She was also confront
ed by woman who had formerly
known her in Flint, Mich. In the OFF,
GERS presence this woman accused
Mrs HER Of having brought stolen
articles &c the formers home In Flint.
while a Ioomer there.
Mrs. HER told the police that she
was under the influence of morphine
when she planned the robbery. but
they are inclined to be skeptical on
this point.

FREER MANUSCRIPTS
ARE VERY VALUABLE

That the Freer collection Of ancient
Christian manuscripts is the most val
liable in America and one OF the most
valuable extant is the opinion OF Prof.
Henry A. Sanders, Of the University
of Michigan, who is stopping In De-
troit on bis way back from the con.
eress OF the Archaeological Institute or
America in Toronto. Prof. Sanders
has been working on an ancient Greek
manuscript which appears to have
been written in a monastery near
Memphis, Egypt. Some OF the older
pages OF this manuscript bear evidence
of having been written as early as the
fourth century, while other parts are
much older, possibly several centuries.
Additional information CLEANED from
these ancient manuscripts tends ia
show the correctness of the revised
version OF the gospels as compared
with the earlier edition based on the
King James version. The gospels OF
Luke. Mark and John are pronounced
older and better in transcription than
aid been heretofore discovered.
An addition has lately been made To
the Freer collection which is OF great
interest, being Copuc manuscript
containing a translation Of a portion
OF the Psalms.
