land more nervous and who was now
Escorted back to his small shop,
where his sons were at work polishing
jewelry, the Burns men learned that
he had met Rhind, the man who
pawned the horseshoe on Thursday,
once before. That was on February
|22 last, when Rhind walked in for the
first time with three unset diamonds.
Rhind explained that he was selling
them for James Mcintyre, presumably
the same James Mcintyre who came
to him from the Haas home. Borg
bought the jewels, now supposed to
have been stolen, for $50.
On the back of this card was

Bork didn't see Rhind again till last
Thursday. When Rhind brought in
the horseshoe Borg offered him SITS
for it. less than a fifth of It's value
Rhind agreed and received $40 and a
check for $155. He had this check on
him when arrested Borg did not en-
ter this purchase in his books and
when asked to explain yesterday said
it was an "uncompleted transaction. ="
Rhind took money and check and
went out saying that he would be in
again Saturday with some more jew
elry from Mr.. Mcintyre"
Meanwhile Mcintyre had been so in
cautious as to send a telegram to his
wife, Marie Kruger, at Long Branch,
saying:
your husband will be in New York
| Saturday"
This was signed Elizabeth" 1t de-

feminine pseudonym. This telegram
FASTENED the maids confession. At
first she denied that it was for her,
| but later she owned up.
| Besides the telegram the things
| that brought Marie Kruger to con-

of all the servants. against which she
| rebelled: the discovery of letters from
| a German aunt congratulating her on
her marriafe to Mcintyre and the ar
rest of Mcintyre in Greenwich. After
her confession late on Sunday night
to Captain Walling. of the Long
Branch police. the maid was locked
up. She is i'll, it is said, from the
strain. Mr.. Haas declared yesterday
that she came to him with the high
est references and was extraordinar-
lily skillful as servant.

At the court proceedings yesterday
at Greenwich. when Rhind and Nc
Intyre were held in $4,000 each for a
hearing on Thursday, the central
figure was a pretty school teacher of
North Cos Cob, Miss Florence Wells,
whose detective instincts caused the
early arrest of the thieves.
Miss Wells lived next door to the
home of Eugene Scott, where Rhind
was staying. She said yesterday that
she could not explain 1T, but she had
conceived a dislike for Rhind from
the time she first set eyes on him.
AS he was next door she saw him
rather frequently. and each time
liked him less. She did not believe
anything he said about himself.
Then Mcintyre arrived from New
York and Long Branch. Miss Wells
saw the two confabbing often and
with a great air OF secrecy. She
watched them at one of these con-
ferences at the dinner table on Sat-
urday while she was visiting the
SCOTS. She gave Fred Scott. the son,
a wink, and he rose from the table.
Miss Wells slipped into his place and
ate more or less, but kept her eye
on Rhind and Mcintyre.
The two left the table together and
Miss Wells sauntered out into the
