Stories in the Atchison Globe tell of

ON being arraigned in the city
u yesterday afternoon, the two
young men, who confessed to having
burglarized tho F. T.. Stanley home
here. waived q preliminary hearing
and were then committed to the coun-
ty Jail, being unable to give bond.
were very anxious thai they be
permitted to occupy the same cell in
the county Jail.
They claim to be I. L.. Iverson of
Grand Forks, N. D.. and Holly Pryor,
Of Marion, Ohio; They are less than
twenty years of age, respectable in
appearance, and the Stanley robbery
is the only n they ever committed
They claim they came to Kansas to
work in the harvest fields and were
broke when they landed in Atchison.
However, When they were arrest
ed in a saloon in st. Joe they were in
very bad company. and had also just
come from a notorious rooming house
where they had considerable fun with
several girls. All Of the articles they
stole from the Stanley home, with
the exception of a locket and several
dollars, have been recovered.
"One of them took Chief Coleman
up the river las night and showed
him where they had buried several
bracelets, which the officer found. The
opera glasses they left in the Stanley
home continue to be involved in a
mystery. They said they found the
glasses in a box car or the Omaha
the officers don't think much of that
story.
"A chamber maid in "a st. Joe room
ing house found several rings in the
bed the young men had occupied.
She made no effort to deny having
found the rings. In fact, she told of
finding the rings before the st. Joe
officers questioned her. The hands of
the two young prisoners indicate they
have never done a great deal Of
work"
Another story of the robbery fol-
lows:
Probably 5000 worth Of iewelry
and s25 in cash were stolen from the
F. B. Stanley home at 1917 North
Fifth street sometime Yesterday, while
Mrs. Stanley was calling on friends in
another part of the city. Her hus-
band, who travels for the Symns gro
Gerry house. was cut on the road.
The thief entered the house
through a back window. and ransack-
ed the Whole house. Scarcely a draw
err or a corner escaped his fingers, and
he left things in a state of disorder.
There is no real clue. Mrs. Stanley
left her home at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning, and discovered the burglary
when h returned homo about $50
O'Clock last night. The list of stolen
articles follows: A diamond ring. an
opal ring, Il gold band ring, n tur-
quois ring, a necklace, with a gold
cross. Il child's necklace With locket,
two gold bracelets, n gold watch and
a chatclaine watch. The burglar gain
ed entrance through the window by
boring a hole in the frame. neal the
latch. He converted the handle of 6
milk bucket into an augur. n used
a wire to turn the latch. The diamond
rink aiken was Mrs. Stanley's engage
ment ring, and the. gold band ring
was her wedding ring. Even the ba-
by's bank was robbed. The burglar
~ransacked the home from cellar to

in the Stanley house, but thought
nothing of it."
