and alter the rebbery , Fdnard Klnney, a
brother-in-law of Witreck, upon whose or.
son wa found ncouslderablo portion ofthe
oxpress moiiey, and Oicar Cook, llrst found
working at coopering in Kansas City, who
hid Witreck alter the robbery and divided
the tnoney and mailed the "Jim Cummlngs"
loiters, making frequent trip te and from
Chicago. The detectlvss have turned up
about fiS.000, and estimate that from 110,000
te H3,0(X) Is still unacoeutitod for.
The detect! ves iotlewod up their clues anu
became satlstledef the whereabouts and Ideu
tlty of the suspocted wen, except In the cise
of Witreck, who appears te have been the
mestdllllcult te ' shadeW'succewirully, and
It was only en Tuesday night last that results
began te develep satisfactory, though an an
ether peraen appeared en the scene ler whom
the detectives could net account, aud whom
they styled " The Mysterious Shadow." In
the meantlme Klnney and Woaver were seen
te cautiously euter the Witreck heuse, the
blinds or which were constantly drawn, al
though lights could be Bec-n lnilde. On Fri
lav mnrnlnir "the Mtftterleus Shadow
came out of the Witreck house, as
did also Klnney, and, arter making
a careful Burvey, Witreck appeared. The
men went south en Lincoln street, showing
evident alarm all the while, and finally
enter id a liquor store and restaurant kept by
an 1 Lilian, en Madisen street near Lincoln.
Hebert A. Piukorten and two operatlves
shadowed the placa until Kinney went out,
when they ontered and arrested Witreck alter
a sharp struggle. The latter altempted te
draw a revolver, two of which were found en
his en!en. He protested against the Indig
nity, but was soarched and fill) taken from a
pockelbook found en his eraen. The
"shadow" wassoarcbed and l,W0 wa found
en his perseu. The "shadow turued out te
be a young man named Geerge W. Hurnham,
whom Witreck bad met In Savannah, Oa.
He ex plained that he had come North
with Witreck, and had sbadowed tbe
latter's heuse, a Witreck had explained
that he had shot a man lu Chicago lu
a row aud wished te ofceape arrest.
He was alterward released when he ox ex
plained te the satisfaction of the detectives
that he had no knowledge of or connection
w lib the robbery. Wheu Kinney reappoared
he was searched and 11,000 In loee meiiey
wasfennd en his perseu, whlle In a belt
around his waist wa found 1,000 additional.
These men wero lrcned aud taken te the
Pinkerton ageucy In n closed carriage. A

Witreck about the same time, and In the
basement of tils heuse was found (3,000 In
Heme fruit Jats. Tbe arrest of Cook aud
Halght was thou ordered by telegraph.
The detectives state that Cook distributed
tbemeuey after the robbery, aud was the go
between. They charge Halght w 1th outlining
the robbery and also aiding in the forgery of
the letter preseuted te I otht-rlegbam. Wit Wit
eock appears te have been the only man en
the train coucerned In the rubbery, unless
Fotherlngham was his accomplice. Witreck
alter the robbery, it Is drclared, joined Cook
at the East Bottems, In Kansas City, and was
bidden by him until he went Seuth.
Witreck, it is claimed, was nover before
knew n te have been engaged lu any criminal
enterprise. He was employed as a book beok boek
kisjiior for Mx years at Kansas tlty. The
detecth e decline te state what thty knew, If
anything, about the career of the wile of
Witreck. She has disappeared, but, while
she Is net under arrest, she Is under close
Bitrvelllanca. The Pinkerton agency still
I'ecJIne te state where Witreck, Klnney or
Weaver ere Incarcerated, but it Is pretty well
known that they are sUll in Chicago. They
state that thelr Instructions from the express
company were te pursue the thleiea regard

Ne. Ii Seuth Ann street. On Monday fore
noon she took a dese of " Heugh en Hats,"
and died Irem the e fleets at Mr. Miller's
heuse In the evening.
Dr. S. T. Davis vra the physician w he at
tended the unfertunate girl. He says that
he wa summoned te Mr. Miller's home
about hall past six o'clock In the evening.
He round the girl lying in the kitchen ; her
head was under a table and near her was a
basin hair full et bloody fluid which she bad
vomited, the carpel was also very wet; she
wa groaning and vomiting nearly all the
Ume, but was conscious. The doctor had her
at once placed en a settee and gave her every
attention. He asked her what she had
dene and she told a straight story. Hhe said
that lu tlie morning she went te the drug
store of n. IL Herr, en Mlddle street, near
I-ast King, where she purcbased a box of
" Heugh ou Hats." Upeu returning te Mr.
Miller's, she went Inte the water closet where
she swnllowed it teaspoonful or the drug.
The remainder she then threw down the
hole. The doctor asked her what she had
taken the poison rer aud she said that she
was worried about her tnrlber, who has
been out et her mind for seaie Ume
past. She said that she first became sick
from tbe poison about " o'clock lu the after
noon and began te vomit, A slsler or the
girl wa at her bedside with the doctor, but
Annle refused te answer the questions pro

rapidly, notwithstanding the ellerts of the
Ebyslclan te save her life, and she died about
air-past seven o'clock in the evening. The
body was afterwards taken te the home of
her father.
01 MKLANrnOLV DISPOSITION.
A reporter of the I.VTELHOENCEn called
upon Mr. Mlller at hi residence this morn
ing. He said that the girl had been em
ployed at hi home for about ten woeks. She
was of a melancholy disposition and al times
seemed greatly worried and down-hearted.
Mrs. Miller had spoken te bereu tbe subject
several times with geed effect. On Monday
morning she seemed very low-spirited.
About 10 o'clock Mrs. Miller was upstairs In
the nursery with the children, and she thinks
that the girl went te the drug Btore at that
time. She had been washing during the
morning, but finally went te Mrs. Miller
and said that she was tee sick te opntlnue her
work. When Sirs. Miller found her vomit
ing she asked her what was the matter, but
the girl refused te tell. Mrs. Miller accused
her a number of times of taking poison, but
ehe strongly denied IL When Mr. Miller
came home In the evening between f and G
o'clock, he questioned the girl very closely
and Bhe finally admitted that she had taken
poison. Dr. Davis and Miss Hbeads' sister
Amelia, who Is employed at the Leepard
hotel, were then telephoned for.
Dr. V 11. Herr, at whose Btore the girl Bays
she purchased the poison, wa also -seen by
the reporter. He said that en Monday fore
noon a girl or young woman called at bis
store and asked for some rat poison. The
doctor asked her If she wanted "Heugh en
Hats," which was about the best ler the
purpose, and she said she did. It was given
te her, there was nothing peculiar In her
action te attract the attention of the doctor.
Had there been be ays be would net have
given the poison te her. His practlce is net
te register the nameaand addresses of theso
who purchase "Heugh en Hats." He does
in all cases where arsenic or strychnlne Is
sold. H isa dally occurrence te neil "Heugh
en Hats" and he thought nothing further of
the aale made te the young woman until
Informed In tbe evening that a girl stated that
she had bought the poison at his drug store
and taken it te destroy her lire. The doctor
could net tell whether the deceased was the
person who purchased the poison or net, as he
paid but little attention te her.
The dead girl was almost nlnetecn years of
age. Her father says that she went te reside
with Mr. Miller In Hep tern ber or October.
She remained a short time and returned
home for a couple or woekr, but went back te
Mr. Miller's. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday
an 1 Sunday evenings last, she was at her
father's house. On Sunday she spoke of
leaving Mr. Miller's.
