style a. became two gentlemen of el-
egant leisure. This public place
was about the safest spot We could
have struck, al the work did not take
more than an hour early in the eve
ming. The rest Of the time We were
at the hotel, and could have got 80
persons. no doubt. If it were neces-
sary, to prove an alibi.
Success came 80 easily our way
that it made US bold, and we were led
into temptation on a very extensive
| scale. l was a close student of the
papers, and for several days l saw
notices OF the preparations that were
being made for the great Rogers we'd
ding In Thirty-fourth street. The
Kid and went up to take a look at
the house and see If it offered any
inducements for US to make try for
it. A better place could not have
been made for US. There was a va
cant building in the rear Of the house
facing Thirty-third street. We found
that an entrance could be forced in
it easily.
1T was merely taking a chance, for
there was no telling where the pres
ents, which would certainly be given
to the bride, would be kept. If they
were taken upstairs, they would be
our mutton; If not, we would have 4
little trouble for nothing.
"On the night Of the wedding re-
ception We got into the vacant house.
We could see from our watching place
that the presents were on tables in
the second story. We kept quiet un-
til the party went downstairs to the
wedding supper. Then it was time
for us to begin our little act. It was
matter of shining over fence to
get into the Rogers back yard While
the band was playing softly, The Kid
went up the back piazza like a cat
1t was too high to jump out of the
window in case Of discovery, so The
Kid dropped rope ladder from the
second story to the ground in place
where 1t was hidden from view from
the lower windows.
MY instructions to The Kid were
to load up his pockets with everything
that could be easily carried. Then.
If he had time. to toss several of the
more valuable bulky articles out of
the window to me while the band was
playing, to hide ahy sound that might
come from a fall
The Kid worked like a flash, and
began tossing Jumps OF silver out to
me before l thought he had got Gown
to work. I had bags ready and drop
ped all the stun into them.
Of these latter were caught.
The Kid kept at work until he
heard footsteps on the stair, and then
slid down the ladder. After waiting
second to see If any alarm would be
given, we removed the bags to the
vacant house. We then watched our
chance, and got the stuff into a cab
which was waiting on the corner for
us. 1t was the slickest piece of work
ever done in New York. The next day
howl went up from the people for
protection which must have given tho
police a chill.
I'VE were satisfied to call quits, for
We had picked up stuff worth over
100000, and 1t was all the kind which
could be safely handled In disposing
of it."

ond two years later was elected to the
chair OF jurisprudence and politics at
Princeton.

on instructor, however, was at Bryn
Mawr college, where he remained
three years-1SS5-SS. In 1902 he sue.
ceeded Francis Landry Patton as pres.
ident of Princeton university. He
came into office with decided convic-
tions as to methods which should gov.

found to be true.

were many clashes between the "Wil.
