LIVED IN Howell IN
WHICH HE HID RICHES.
Hermit Miser Concealed Money
in Books and Boxes.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. 12.-Never did
70 miser hoard his gold and keep it
secret thai he was a man of wealth as
did Peter Leibauch, a hermit, 43 years
old. who was removed yesterday from
mis- howell in the rear of 1400 Madison
avenue, North Side, to the Marshallsea
Insane Asylum.
The removal of Leibauch to the asy-
lum is incidental to the search of his
howell made by the police and which
still is in progress, each step unearthing
more money. After finding SIS, 900 in
greenbaeks the police thought they had
the entire fortune. Then Detective John
Roach. assisted by Neal Crane. began
examining the books comprising the
scanty library. Between every two
pages of every book they found a bill
of some denomination.
BY shutdown the amount had reached
$50, 900, when the detectives tackled two
immense zinc boxes which had been
locked. They broke the locks and
found the trunk filled with gold pieces,
dollars. pennies. nickels and silver
coins of all denominations. Each de-
nomination was tied in a separate sack.
In one sack was more than 1000 gold
dollars, upon every one of which there
Is a premium. The same applies to
other coins.
Until two years ago Letbauch resided
in the howell with his brother. At that
time the brother committed suicide and
Leibauch spoke to his ~netghbors for the
first time in twenty years.
