Then Williams was told to hold his hands
above his head.
His pockets were searched. The jewelry
found on him was stolen from Miss Marie
Louise Reed, of the Mount Vernon Semi
nary. the police say It is said Miss
Reed later identified the ieweIry as her
property.
Williams calmly accompanied the de-
tectives to police headquarters. For sew
eral hours he sat in the Office Of IN
spector Boardman. while detectives asked

few more jobs. and then ] intended
blowing the burg"
The robbery at the Mount Vernon Semi
nary was similar 10 others OF which
Williams is accused. The thief obtained
entrance by forcing rear basement win
dow. He went to a room on the second
floor occupied by Miss Read and a COM
panion. With a pocket electric flash
light he searched bureau drawers and
jewelry cases. gathering jewelry valued at
$500 and putting 1t in his pocket.
Girls Saw Burglar.
Miss Reed and her roommate were
awakened by the flashing of the electric
light Fearing the burglar would harm
them if he knew they were awake. the
| girls lay still. watching the marauder
searching their room. He completed his
work and started to leave the room.
Miss Reed involuntarily screamed. The
man disappeared and the girls heard him
running down the corridor. He left the
school by the window through which he
entered Police of the Third precinct
were notified. Detectives from police
headquarters reached the scene in a few
minutes They worked until daybreak,
when other detectives took up the chase.
The robbery at the Grafton Hotel on
November 80 last, when Miss Douglass
Forrest was robbed of jewelry valued at
s.. 800, probably yielded the burglar more
loot than any of the ten thefts. williams
admitted the robbery and said he dis
posed of the jewelry in Philadelphia for
$685.
The police say the thief was frightened
away before he found anything of value
in the homes of Bishop Harding and

CannibalS.

Seattle, Wash, April 29.-Details
of the eating by cannibals, on Febru

and his assistant, the Rev. Hector
Laurie Mcpherson, missionaries of
the Presbyterian Church, on Savage
Island, were brought by the barken-
tine Mary E. Winkleman, which ar
rived at Mukilteo, Wash, from the
Tonga Islands in the South Seas.
While the barkentine lay at Tan
gatabu, in the Tonga Islands, a ca
noeload of mission natives from Saw
age Island arrived at Fua, bringing
news of the buthcery.
The natives said that Hopkins and
Mcpherson were teaching in the mis-
sion building, which stands on the
beach in the little harbor of Savage
Island, when 200 unconverted saw
ages, bowling war cries and bran
dishing clubs and spears, descended
on them and took thirteen prisoners
The missionaries had 90 converts il
training at the time, and only min
of tn emescaped.
