"Threatening letters never wnrrv
me," said Senator Ball today, "and I
have done everything possible to pre

that the Incident occurred shortly after
I Introduced my amendment, .suggests,
of course, that the shot may have been

found the jewelry in n glittering heop
on the table. Brown sitting on a chair
in the corner, and the assistant super
intendent, Durroll Sinister, the Mayor's
secretary, and Wharburton, questioning
him.

At first members of the firm suspected
that the robbery might have been per
unrated by a former eniploje. A glance
ut Brown, however, showed this was
not so.
Brown was given n brief hearing be
fore Magistrate Dugan following his ar
cst. and held without bail for a fur
ther hearing next week. Captain Bos
ton in person brought him to City Hall.
Brown stuck to his firt storj. He
-aid lie had no home and was out of
work. His appearance bore out his
words. He had slept last night, he snid,
under the piers of the bridge, because
he could not afford any other shelter
This morning, upon nwakening, he -aid,
he lav in hiding as he watched two other
Negroes bury a bundle. When the

A curious feature of the case was
that a detective went huir.vlng to the
store after the robbery, but enme nwaj
again, believing everything was secure.
The manager of the protective ogeney

aftir midnight, showing that one of the

Press denied this. The explanation of
why the window was found clned is
said to He lu tho fact that it was
opened b.v some one who climbed to the
tedce and thrust hi.s hand in through a
break in u pone of glass. He opened
the catch, swung the window outward,

and Child In London
New York, Aug. in. Cupid opened
t'le gates of tho United States yester
day on Ellis Island for Miss Rose Alice
Lewis, an Knglih girl, who had brought
wilh her little Lillian, her war baby,

Miss Lewis had given to tho American
Consul at London duplicate affidavits
slgtitd by Edgar Hurston, nn Ameri
can soldier of tho A. E. P., now living
In Metnllne Pulls, Wnh., saving he
would mnrry her. Tho Consul In
advertently failed to return one of
these iiltidnvltK, so when Mis Lewis
nnd Baby Lillian arrived hero on tho
steamer Orblta, n week ago, admis
sion to the country was refused.
When the Immigration authorities
and Social AVelfnre Workers on Ellis
Island heard the girl's story nnd saw
she was of inherent gentllitv and mod
esty, they telegraphed to Mr. Hurston
in Metnllne Falls. His answer came
yesterday. It said: "I lovo her nnd
I love the baby, too. Let them both
In. I will marry this woman and tako
care of the child."
Tho representatives of the Travel
ers' Aid Society assisted Miss Lewis
to get baggage and baby on the after
noon train for Chicago nud started her
on her journey acros the continent for
the final chapter of a double wnr ro
mance. "I met Edgar Hurston," Miss Lewis
told the iintnljrnllon authorities, "at
the Nelson Monument In Loudon just
ociorc tne nrmistico in 11)18. 1 find my
baby nt (he lime. Our acquaintance
progressed nnd soon I found that tills
gallant American soldier wns in love
with me. Tills, too. after 1 hnd told
him nil about my previous ciigugcmcur'
to mnrry the father of little Lillian, an
English soldier, who wns killed in ac
tion in Ptunce. I will not give hi
nnnie, now that he has died n noble
death. But we never married. We
surely would hnve been had God spaicd
him to come home from the war.
" 'That makes no difference.' said
Mr. Hurston. 'I love you nnd your
baby ns only a soldier can love the
sweetheart of u soldier who died in
the fighting. ' I wanted to leave the
baby with my mother, but Edgar would
have none of It."
Miss Lewis showed n letter in which
Hurston recently wrote to her:
"I have seul two tickets for vou and
baby. If jou leave the baby wo will
huve to go back to England nnd get
her."
Baby Lillian, now four years old.
seemed delighted to net to America,
and .Miss Lewis sighed with relief
when released.
