frightened away by Mrs. A. G Brock
while trying to force an entrance into
Root' meat uiark't, on I'iue street.
Long and Walsh were arrested
Thursday on smpicion and, aa the po
lice say, "the screws put on them'' to
make them confess their psrt in the
robbery. Both disclaimed anv kuowi -edge
of the affair. Mr. Brock csme to
the station house and identified Walsh
al one of the meu engaged in the Rooa
burglary. Still both men rstnauied
dumb.

Asa sunterfuge Long was released
on bsil as a witness when wanted. In
the meanwhile Detective Roche ha 1
ballad himself on a still hunt for the
Levi goofs, which he located. Ha
made Walsh's parents believe he knew
where th- plunder was hidden aud tb'y
visited their son Ht the station houso
and prevailed upon him to reveal what
he knew of the robbery, Walsh
was also made to believe that Long
had "peucbed" on him. Under these
circumitancea ha iilntel to the officer
that he was on the right scent.
At an early hour this morning Of
ficer Roche and Sergeants Davis and
Deiter arrested Nalaud, Long and Mc
Andrews at Pine Brook Tbe two
formsr were the ringleaders, and be
fore the police are through with them
will probably have to answer for a
number of other burglaries which have
occurred of lata. No resistance was
offered tbe officers.
The arrests were time 1 to n nicety,
aa the gang thought the officers were
on the wrong track. They bad already
made preparations to leave the city,

Dr. It. D. (ireeue, who eatd he had

was Pollard mid that she hid b-en dis
missed from the Wesleyan college iu

William Wood, an oil farmer of

known Mies Pollard since she was a
child. He was engaged to marry ber
mid gave her an engagement ring. He
sail it was Roles who robbed him
