CONVICT FROM GEORGIA cApTuR
ED WHILE HOLDING HIGH
POSITION IN VIRGINIA

DANVILLE. Va, Mar. 3.-Edear
Stribling. for five years the chief OF
police of Danville. under the name OF
E. Morris, was arrested here to.
day as an escaped murderer from the
prison in Harris county, Georgia.
Stribling has confessed his identity.
The arrest and exposure of the chief
of police was made by Secret Service
Agent j. W. Smith. For the last six
years Stribling has been living here
and efforts have been made several
times to trace some shady spot in
his past, but not an inkling of his pris.
on career was ever brought out. Five
years ago he was elected as chief of
police, this was due in great meas
ure to his cool nerve and fearlessness,
though he was criticized severely for
his almost uncomfortable temper.
The election of police chief for an.
other term of two years was to have
been held tonight and it was generally
thought that Stribling would be chos.
en- to succeed himself He was taken
TO Georgia this morning.

A LOT OF SLoS ABOUT A MAN
AND HIS "GREEN-EYED"
WIFE

NEW YORK. Mar. 2.-For more
than an hour early today the police
force of New York secured the center
of the city for Mrs. Hamilton Fish
benjamin, prominent society woman
and the wife of wealthy Wall street
broker and niece OF Robert Bacon. the
American ambassador to France.
Just at / o'clock Mr.. Benjamin in a
fur coat and silk hat, rushed breath
lessly into a police station and pant
ed excitedly that his wife was miss.
ing and that he feared foul play. His
excitement made his first statements
almost incoherent but the police final
ly extracted from him information
that Mrs. Benjamin early in the even
ing had gone unaccompanied TO the
Metropolitan opera house. where Ben.
jamin is box holder
He had expected her home long be
fore midnight and when 10 O'Clock
came and she had not returned he
became alarmed. Mr.. Benjamin asked
the ponce TO send out general alarm
His description of his wife was as
follows:
"TwenH-seven years old. fair COM
plexion, 100 pounds weight, five feet
seven inches tall and of fine form,
green eyes,"
. Green eyes," asked the sergeant,
are you sure?"
Yes. green eyes; am sure. Hurry
please" replied the broker.
While Benjamin was pacing the sta
ton house floor, awaiting the results
OF the police alarm, n servant from
his home burst into the room and ex-
claimed: Mrs. Benjamin is at home"
1t developed Mrs. Benjamin had
merely stopped with friends on her
way home.
