HORN Will.
HAVE: To
EXPL A|n
A. 0H II n n
Ez H G i II II

William Horn must explain to the
court tomorrow morning how he came
in possession of some silverware be-
longing in the home of the Rev Theo-
dore Claus, and what has become of
two rings and a handbag belonging to
the servant in the Anton II. Taper
home. Horn is under arrest and the
police believe they have in him a vet
eran sneak thief His boldness in en-
tering homes is almost beyond belief
Yesterday forenoon he entered the
Taper residence on Ann street through
a side door and walked upstairs. The
Tappers were al home at the time and
Horn managed to get out of the build
ing without being noticed. He en-
countered Anton Taper in the yard
and chatted amiably for a minute or
two and departed Later in the after
noon two rings and a handbag were
missing in the servants room. They
were not found in Horns possession
and he says he lost them.
John Schmueser SIeuth.
Yesterday John Schmueser noticed
the same old man emerging from the
Claus parsonage. Schmueser and his
family were just about to go out in
their automobile but Schmueser stop
ped his machine and questioned the
fellow The latter put up a bold front,
saying that he had come to deliver
some silverware and, not finding the
owners at home, decided to take it with
him That had Schmueser guessing, but
Horn went on to say that he had been
sent out from Chicago by the father
Of Henry Wolter, brother of William
WoIter, the city treasurer in Hammond.
This argument was quite convincing
to Schmueser as he forgot for the
moment that Wolter, ST. was dead.
Added to this Schmueser's predicament
of a running engine in the automo bile
which If manipulated by one of the
children in the car might cause a dis
aster. Schmueser turned the fellow
loose but notified the police. 1t was not
long after when officer John Kunz
recognized the fellow by a description
which the department had given him
and Horn was arrested as he was abou.
