Syndicate Broken Up In
Winnipeg in 1908 .

Winnipeg. Jan. 2s.-Five thousand

little sum that the jaunt of two VIM

The gentleman who loses the money
is known in Winnipeg police records
as Gillen. alias Quarring. He was
indicted by the Chicago grand jury
some months ago on a charge OF

fighting the case when the knowledge
that Canadian officers were in Chicago
to prove that he had been in Winni-
peg and had taken at least one wo-
man from Canada to Chicago for inn
moral purposes caused him to disap-
pear and forfeit his $4,000 bail bond.

Winnipeg, Jan. 23-Feminine weak
ness TO rfine clothes and costly furs
furnished the local police with the An
al clue required In the mystery con-
nected with the Canadian Express rob-
berry OF $4,000. Last night Charles
verral, q we'll known butcher in st,
James, was arrested as an accom-
pltce with George Powers. now in Gus
tody, and the greater portion of the
stolen money recovered.
The feature Of the affair was the
locating Of the money by Inspector of
Detectives Stodgill. It was sewn up
IN four pillows in the Verral home and
each pillow to recover the money. In
al about $1.770 was recovered. This
with the 5000 taken from Powers
makes up the total amount of cash
stolen. the remainder being in drafts
ana checks. which were not negotia.
BILE by the robbers. = =,
During last week Mrs. verral was
noticed as being the possessor of a
large amount Of ready money, and she
creatad q great deal of comment by
her purchases of costly, imported gar
mentS and q $3.50 new fur coat. It
was known by the police that Yer.
raj was an intimate friend Of Pow.
ers and close attention was paid to
the movements Of himself and wife,
"a SAsSA 60opiSlOh Wd6 LuEOWn on
the family by the fact that they were
previously known to have been in poor
circumstances and that they could not
have afforded the amount of, money
expended in such costly purchases
Owing to the express company not
furnishing the police with a detailed
account OF the moneys missing the Of
hcers were powerless to act until last
night whom the required Information
was given.
About 10 o'clock Inspector Stodgill
accompanied by Detective Batho visit
cd the Verral house and placed the
man under arrest on charge Of theft,
verral stoutly denied knowing any,
thing about the affair and vigorously
made of the house. but the missinT
money was not to be located.
Money Sewn In Pillows
On entering the house the INSPECTOR
noticed Mrs. Verral sewing some pill
low covers up and after being unable
to locate any evidence in his search he
ripped open the seam Of the pillow
and running in his arm drew out q
$500. -o'us

lice and claimed innocence. They
stated that they did not know how
the money came there. Both claimed
that It was not the stolen money and
hat they never received any Of the
proceeds Of the robbery from Powers.
Five Hundred Missing
The other three pillows also show
Cd signs Of being newly sewed and
concealed In the feathers was found

This amounted to about 81, 800 more,

In discussing the affair his counsel
declared that II Powers were allowed

police in apprehending the persons
whom Powers alleges robbed him,
There Is no doubt but that he
would know the men he wa swith on
that morning II he could secure his
liberty" said Mr.. Hagel. Even a
drunken man knows what bars he vis-
tied and bartenders could probably
tell the names of those who were with
him. In any event the man would
know his acQuaiutances of the night
before II he were to see them. AS 1t

No Third Man
It IL now believed that with the
arrest Of verral the police have ap-
sIrehended all connected with the rob-
berry. At first 1T was believed that
there was q third man connected with
the affair, but owing to the amount
OF cash received 1t appears that there
are no others connected with the rob-
berry.
These arrests were great triumph
for the police department.. Since the
robbery the express company has had
q horde OF private detectives working
upon the case, but up to the present
they have not secured any evidence
that warranted their laying any infor-
matio nor applying for the apprehen-
sion Of the criminals.
During the week the operatives
made a personal canvass with leath-
or bag similar to that carried by
Powers at the time, among the street
car employees to ascertain If they had
seen any person carrying one on the
night of the robbery, but their efforts
were futile.
The robbery. which has led to the
arrest of Verral. was committed on
January 10. That morning Powers
left the express office with bag con-
tanning about $4,000. AS he did not
turn UP by the afternoon a warrant
was issued for his arrest and he was
apprehended two days later. At the
time he was intoxicated and subse-
quently claimed that he had been
drugged and robbed.
