If Philip T. White. sitting last night
in his cell in Raymond Street Jail, in
Brooklyn, thought Of the home from
which the robbery TO which he con-
fessed yesterday has banished him. his
minds eye saw the most peaceful. the
most quiet, the most innocent place

/ late afternoon-it is on the edge OF
/ Elizabeth, n. j.. up long. lonely road,
where the sound OF the streetcar 10
/ never heard-and ! couldn't connect
/ the idea of crime with that spot
The hold-up and theft for which
White is to be sentenced to a term Of
/ Imprisonment seemed as unrelated to
the still house, the green fields around
it and to the slender young vito and
/ apple-cheeked children eating their
supper Of bread and milk In the dining

/ talked with Mrs. White for half an
hour in the little parlor, and came
away still wondering what temptation
could have led the man who made his
home in such a spot to be a thief.
Wife Never Suspected.
His wife says that he "just fell, as
any of US may fall" She had come
back from the Supreme Court in
Brooklyn, where she heard her hus-
band, the former s6,0O0-a-year sales
manager of the John d. Masury Paint
Company. confess to Justice Aspinall
his completely in the hold-up and theft
. of 1902 from two messengers en-
ployed by that firm. The confession
was a complete shock TO her, she told
me. for she had no idea what was com
ing, and yet her manner as she met me
was as composed and simple as q
child's.
The old negro maid opened the door
and asked me into the parlor, lighting
the kerosene lamp on the table. The
house is a plain wooden one, not at all
extravagant in any OF its appointments.
Whatever White wanted money for il
wasn't 10 spend on Injuries for the

and the parlor on the other. | heard
the clink of spoons on bowls and the
sound of childish voices as waited,
and then Mrs. White came across the
ing 10 her hand.
Mrs. White might have stepped cut
OF one of Mary f. wilkins Freeman's
stories. In the plain print dress she
wore. with her light brown hair
smoothed back, and her pale, girish
face, she was the very picture OF a
New England Sunday school teacher
But as soon as she spoke her Southern
birth was evident. She sat down by
the table. which was strewn with half
made doll clothes, belonging, Virginia
told me. TO her eldest doll. Francis.
and smiled at me-the pitiful smile OF
one who has steeled herself 10 meet
the publicity she hates and which she
rever dreamed would come to her or
hers.

began, in her soft Southern drawl.

"Of course, | was right surprised

it was a dreadful shock. We lived so

going to stand right by my husband.
That is what marriage means to US.
And he will make everything all
right"
She smoothed the little Virginia's
round cheeks and gazed out over the
fields. From the dining room came
the voice of fifteen-months-old Phyllis,
the baby, being fed by the negro maid.
Pictures OF the two children, taken at
various stages Of their short lives,
were all over the walls. ! asked Mrs.
White II she dreaded the hard and
lonely time that was coming before
her husband could return to her. She
looked at me with brave smile.
Bravely Says She'll Manage.
"Oh. we shall manage" she said.
"The children are good, strong, healthy

Then, with Virginia clingng to her
hand, she said goodby to me at the
door and went back to the lamp-lit din
ing room and the baby Phyllis.

Prayer Caused Confession.
Love for his wife, combined with a
repentance Of an order such as Billy
Sunday prayerfully invokes to bring
his converts up the glory trail, we're
the motives that made White confess.
