ROBBERS CAPTURED
Band of international Thieves Ragged - Home of John Alden Prescott Again Entered.
Clippings rom the Pit.shurg News

One of the most sensational cap lures ever made by the police was made in this city last night at the home of John Alden Prescott, the steel magnate. As was told exciu- sively in the News Tuesday, the men entered Mir. Prescott's house and robbed Mrs. Prescott of over half a million dollars worth of jewels on Monday night.
 This great robbery was made more mysterious by the amazing disappearance of Miss Zoe Filing. ton. nursery governess, and Sydney Carton, who was guest in the house.
 It was due to the clever insight of Commissioner William Laidlaw that the thieves were caught, al- though their mysterious return to the house within .4 hours, and so walking into the commissioners net, is still puzzling the police.
 Yesterday afternoon while Com missioner Laidlaw, who is a friend of Mir. Prescott, was in the library looking over the premises, a young man ostensibly from Roth & Chap man, inteiror decorators, tried 10 make his way into the room on some trumped-up excuse. Hearing voices, however he immediately made his getaway.
 Mrs. Prescott. who was talking 10 him in. the hall, told the story to her husbapd and the commissioner when she returned to the library. Immediately Laidlaw telephoned to

the decorating establishment ana found that they had sent no one on such q mission.
 Commissioner Lsidlaw. when in- teryiewed, said.
 As soon as heard Mrs. Pres cott's story I was sure that some- thing was wrong. and that the man was in some way connected with the robbery of the night before, has been sent to the house to recopf hotter.
 q was not sure what 1t was ths man came for, but whatever 1t was. I knew he did not get It. as MT. Prescott and l were in the library all the lime. .z.af
 Therefore, l know that whatever the people wanted who had sent him they wanted mighty bad
 Tt was then l had my second hunch which followed against the judgment of Mir. Prescott and every one else on the police force. As l told them, to take the precautions which - did last night, would not hurt anybody and they might lead to solving the entire tragedy
 In accordance with the commls- sioner's commands cordon of po- lice was secretly placed about tue house, Mir. Laidlaw having entered by the servants door early in the \ evening. About 10 o'clock splendid town car with two men Oh the box drove up to the carriage entrance and three men in evening dress de- scended from tm motor, and rang the bell. They were laughing and talking, apparently were friends of Mir. Prescotts. Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Incl

Thank you. Lee Chow" said, lamely enough. T shall be glad to remember if ever | need you"
 That good" he said gravely, and then he opened tho door nearest me, stood obsequously while de- scended and climbed Into the ton neau. Then with sudden change of manner he turned and addressed his countryman in the drivers seat of the sedan, evidently giving him d series of exact instructions. The man nodded, and starting the en- zine of the sedan sent it swiftly down the road.
 No Need Now Bc sfraid!"
 Now, boss lady, listen" Leo Chow said impressiyely turning back to me. No need now be afraid. My man drive down past culyert he know man, he take look at him, then he drive on down road l tell him. Bimeby drive up, you tell man what told you, he get in, I drive down same road, only not so far, stop, you get out and walk with man down road till ] no can hear but can see you. You say vy?"
 Yes" answered, telling my self that I did indeed see his plan, Tho man Steve" and myself would be between the two cars, each with resourceful and watchful man in charge. There would be no danger to me in the arrangement and l should be able to handle the inter- view to my liking.
 "All ri'," he said gravely, and mounting to the drivers seat of the car he sent 1t down the road in the wake of the sedan. Both cars turn ed off before they reached the sta ton, and traversing winding wood road soon came out upon road that l recongized as the one leading from the culvert which I had ] named 10 Steve" over the tee- phone. The spot where we halted was out of sight of the culVert, and Lee Chow. drawing up to the se- dan. spoke a few hurried words tc the other Chinese, and then turned my car around in the direction IT. which we had come.
 He go to cuIvert now, take look at man, come back here, wait foI us," he said. i've go slow now give him time get back here before you take man in car"
 He drove the car at snalI's pace accordingly, until we reached the culvert where I expected to meet Steve" But I did not at first rec ognize the tramp in the apparently wcll.groomed man who lifted his hat to me with gesture most remi niscent of Dicky, as Lee ChoT brought the car to the side of tht road.

"You'd better open the door and let Mir. Grahby and me in to cap ture Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy" Mir. Tinkle shouted through the keyhole of the cunning little house.
 Aren't they silly" the nice lit- tie lady asked as she handed Rag gedy Ann and Raggedy Andy and the nice little man a plate with large piece of banana cake with whipped cream over it.
 indeed. they are." Raggedy Ann laughed. ''rhe two creatures have been trying for long time to capture Raggedy Andy and me, but each time, something happens to let us escape, and Mir, Tinkie and Mir. Grabby always get lot of bumps. or hard knocks for their trouhle,"
 You would think they would grow tired trying to capture you and run home." the little lady said.
 That's just the reason we wish to capture Kaggedy Ann and Rag gedy Andy.' Mir. Grabby hoWled through the key hole. we are so tired, we do not wish to do our own work, we want the Raggedys to do 1t for us."
 And we shall stay here until you open the door!" Mir. Tinkie howed. And If you do not open the door and let US capture the Raggedys, He shall also capture you as well as them and make the four of you do all Of our work.'
 Don't pay any attention 10 them." the little man said, They are exceedingly rude, Besides, they can never get in here and capture any of us,,"
 wen climb upon the roof and come down the chimney" Mir. Tin kfe howled. Then. I'll bet a nickel you'll be sorry when we puff the magic powder on you!"
 But the little man just laughed. "Ha. ha, hal" and gave the Rag Kedys more of the lovely cake.
 Just because you made fun of Us. we will get the ladder. and climb right up on the roof and come down the chimney after you!" Mir. Grab by cried.
 So he and Mir. Tinkie ran 10 the little mans shed and brought a ladder and placed it against the cunning little house. We shall have then in q very short time, Mir. Tin kIa!" Mir. Grabby said.
 Indeed! We shall, MT. Grabhy!' Mir. Tinkic agreed and he climbed I'D the ladder. When Mir. Tinkit reached the roof. he helped MT Cirsbby up, for Mfr. Grabby wal pvsr 50 much fatter than Mir, Tin kie.
 Then. just as Mr. Grabby reached the roof beside Mir. Tinkie, the It lie man ran out of the back doc and pulled the ladder away from tte house.

Two minutes later the servant came back
OThe Mrs. wants to know if you have refer
ences?"

He looked at himself in the mirror and wondered
if his outward appearance was sufficiently inspiring
of confidence. He himself was very much impress
ed with himself in his secondhand clothes.
The servant went few more times and came
back again, bringing new questions and taking
back answers. How long had he been in America
did he possess any papers Of any kind and more
OF the same sort of thing. To every question he
gave unhesitatingly an outspoken lie, and the
servant disappeared fully satisfied.
Now there followed longer interval, during
which Nickles felt uneasy. In such intervals the
people must be thinking things over, and no good
will come of it.
This time his forebodings proved wrong
The servant came back with long sheet of pa
per, containing the list of all the kinds of work
assigned to the footman.
"Well, now want to inform you what your work
will be like. Come with me to the kitchen"
Nickles obeyed.
"Sit down'-the servant said in friendly man
ner-"My name is John -. :"
Nickles listened with great establishment to the
account of how many-sided footman had to be-
He was decidedly impressed with the resourceful-
ness with which Mrs Broidn distributed the work
to cover the whole day. One thing was certain
this many -sidedness was not so richly rewarded
by the aristocratic family, for the monthly wage
was only forty-ive dollars. But on the other hand
there was board, lodging, clothing and other ia
vorable points that ought to be considered
After the long list had been enumerated John
asked whether Nickles was satisfied with the work.
The Greek declared that the work which he had
to do for Propapapadakis was of an entirely diff
ferent nature, but he hoped nevertheless, that he
would be satisfactory Here too oo' % % H9a' bnA

"Im going out only for ten minutes"-Mar-

became lit up with radiant, with fresh look Of

"No, you can't"-and John explained to eNickles
what these "ten minutes" meant.-Recently George
had gone out in the evening for "ten minutes"
and-hadn't come back, and now Marguerite wanted
to 90 out for ten minutes when she had been there
only week.
Everybody laughed over that.
'fWhen do you want to start work ?"-John
asked-"Can you bring your things yoursef?"
Nickles almost blurted out that he would have
no difficulty in bringing the nothing that he pos
sessed. But he thought better of it just in time
for he had arrived at the conviction that on prn-
ciple one should never tell the truth He there
fore made the following answer:
ooh, amt got many things I'll fetch

From Broadmoor to the Busy Corner he had to

money, especially for one who hasn't got that
much.
Still, by twelve o'clock he would be on the spot.
