THIEVES WHO HIDE LOOT
Recovered Later, and the Ex-Criminal
Lives in Wealth

From Tit-Bits.
1t is we'll known to the police that there
are a number of ex-convicts who are
literally rolling in riches and driving
about London and the provinces today in
their own motor cars and carriages, said
detective to the writer the other day.
The majority of these men are old en-
bezzlers and there seems to be little
doubt that they are able to live we'll and
keep going lavishly furnished residences
because the money they stole was hidden
| by them before being arrested and sent to
| prison.
1t may surprise you to know that thou
sands of pounds worth of valuable prop
erty looted by thieves from various
sources lies buried in odd corners OF
Britain and will probably only be recov-
cred by the men themselves on their re-
| lease. Cases are constantly occurring
where an embezzler after cunning off
with a large sum in gold refuses to d.
vulge the hiding place of his ill-gotten
gains He is sent to prison and the
loot remains uncovered. In nine cases
out of ten the embezzler finding arrest
imminent buries his stolen property and
digs it up again when he comes out of
prison.
a
inmate of one of our prisons is now liv-
ing in affluence in a town up north. He
was imprisoned for embezzling 10000
from his employers and he declared at
the trial that he had spent every penny
of it. For some time after his release
from jail he lived in a cheap lodging
house at Hoxton and then one day he
declared that he had come into fortune,
brother in Australia having died and
left him some thousands. AS a matter
of fact although the police had no proof,
he had received the money which he had
embezzled years before.
| A man of considerable means now liv-
ing in the states served term of i'm
prisonment for forgery, having obtained
f15.OOO by means of false checks. Not
a penny of the money was recovered by
the police. During the forced confne-
ment of the thief his wife, in pursuance
of a previously agreed plan. went out to
service in a gentlemans family. AS soon
as the husband was liberated, however,
his wife resigned her position and the
pair sailed Immediately for the colonies.

which had been stolen by means of the

The affliction which cost Rosebud her

HER TALENT WON HER EYEsIGHT
Eminent Doctors, Interested by Child's
Sketches, Operate on Her Eyes

From the Boston Post.
Sketches showing remarkable talent,
made by little Rozbury girl during three
wears of total blindness, have resulted in
the restoration of sight to the 9-year-old
child.
The drawings of birds, trees and dol
lies, brought little Rose Dohertys case to
the attention of eminent specialists
They determined to bring back the pow
err of sight to the big blue eyes of the
diminutive sketcher
By a rare operation they succeeded. and
now Rosebud as she is known in the
neighborhood of her home, can see, as well
as any little girl
Medical men consider the cure remark
able, but the sketches which the child
made have interested them as deeply as
the restoration of the sight.
One eminent physician stated that he
had never before known of a blind per-
son displaying such ability for drawing.
