Ifosa James desalted w ith a. braid of

Last nluht Chief of Police Robllng
and Lieutenant Davis weie West Hide
visitors and with them came a j'oung
man who was arrested yesterday at
Ukes-Bane on suspicion of his Know
ing something of the eilme Fur some
le.isum 01 other the chief, his lieuten
ant nnd theli piisonei did not tnnj In

for the centtal clt j . About 10 o'clock
Mis. James and het daughter Kosa le
tuined fiom the contial clt j . The 10I11
;ldence of the Hobllng visit and this
etter was plain.
A Tilbune lopoitei questioned Mrs.
lames She said that she and hei
daughter had been called befoie the
chief 'o that Ho'-a could give a de
scription of the fellov, "
"Did jour daughter tecognUe the
man who had been arrested?" was
asked "No," was the leply.
TOLD TO KDD1' QUinT.
Mis James at (list would not say
that any one had been anested. Some
ane told her to keep quiet about this
point for the man auested at Wllkes
llaite bj Detectle Djei was Innocent
md his lelease was as quick and as si
lent as his an est He was a joung
man about 0 years of age, neatly
diessed, black tie, white "lay-down"
collar, fle feet In height, soft felt hat,
and oidlnaiy shoes. The deseiiption
BlVen to the police bj the gill was as
follows: Height, 3 feet 10 inches, light
complexion, hair cut close, weight, ISO
uonnd, black deiby, long avetcoat,
age, 23, no collar or tie, and patent
leathei shoes. Lieutenant Da Is said
last night that he did not know the
name of the man anested in Wllkes
Bnire and the,ie was no iccord by
tvhleh lie could lefiesh lijs lecollectlon.
The deseiiption ghen by the gill may
not be exactly coriect, When a Tilb
une lepoitei (iticstloned her yesteiday
regarding the case she said that all she
could remember of him was that he
woie a del by hat and long overcoat?
That wab all Wheie the lest of the
deseiiption ghen to the police wab boin
must be imagined.
Theie me some people on this side
wjio do not believe the story of the
joung gltl as It was piesented In the
newbpapets The boldness of the es
capade and the unusual actions of the
thlel while in the house cause a iea
ponable doubt,
WHS. JAMES INTERVIEWED.
It was to ;jo moie deeply Into the
matter that a Tribune repoiter visited
the James home jcsteiday afteinoon
Mis James, a neighbor, Jennie James
and Kosa James, the two daughteis,
note in the house. Wis James did most
of the talking. Numeious ques
tions diew fiom her the facts substan
tially as stated in The Tiibune's ac
rount. Wis. James had left the house shoit
ly after two o'clock, going to another
house about one block awaj. It Is
Wis. James who now talks.
"I did not heai any screams until
I Was coming back about 3 o'clock. I

thought the house was an fln so I ran
down and found her (llosa) In a chulr
with hoy hands tied."
"What kind of a chalr7" vynn aBkcil.
"This one," lesponded Mrs. Jilmes,
pointing to d light canu seated clinlr.
The weight vls about twelve pounds.
"I ddri't know how 1 ever untied, her
hands,1' continued Win. James. "''With
what iv eio they tied?" Wts. James
tiled to explain and her daughter, Jen
nie, went into nnothei, room uud
In ought out n. pieco of skirt binding.
It Is over a jnfd long, about one-half
Inch in width, and luniilng along one
edge Is n stout string, very Htiong,
Wif. James explained that she found
the gill silting In a chair with her
hands tied to the centtal piece on the
back llosa had iccocred from her
unconsciousness and was set earning.
The gills Hist woids to her mother
weie "The papers!" Mi. James went
upstairs and found "the papers" all
safe In a drawer, The house, sas Wis.
James, gae evidence dfr ltb being l all
sacked. Nothing vvns stolen, A watch
and thrill wtie fouijd cm the top of
some clothes In a basket. Wis. Jame3
thinks that the fellow took the tline
plrco fio.in a drawer and upon seeing
the owner, Entanuel James' name en
giaved on the inside, he discarded It.
DID NOT TAKE THE CHAIN.
"But Isn't It funny," put In Wlss Jen
nie, "that ln didn t take off the chain
l'apa was offeied $7u foi It Jutt a shoit
time ago."
' He knew his business," ejaculated
Wis. James "He had done this kind
of loguery beioie"
It beeins "funnj," ns Wlss James said,
that he didn't take the chain or some
thing nftei going to all the tiouble he
did. Nobodj saw the fellow 'depart
iiom the house excetit, possibly
Itosa, who Is suie that .she niw
him. Wis. James said more, so
did Jennie, the 18-j ear-old girl. But
duilug all the conversation Kosa, the
victim, sat In a. chali and said nothing,
She Is fourteen jeais of age and is
quite good looking On the right side
of her head can be seen the maiks
w hero her hair was cut. It looks as If
on amatoui baibel had been at woik.
She sat In the chair to which
she was tied during the whole fortj
live minutes talk yesterday and dui
Ing the time utteied but a half dozen
woids and they weie In response to
questions by the neighborly woman
piesent and hei sister, Jennie. Hei
mothei did not once address her oi call
the lepoiter's attention to hoi.
When dually the girl did talk she told
how she was In a buttety and when
she came out the man was sitting in
a chali. 'Is our mother in?' he
asked. "No, ' she leplled. He then
walked toward hei "Whole's the
money?" demanded he "I don't know,"
leplled she He grabbed het, she did
NOT set earn, she said.
SAT IN A CHAIR.
She simplj sat In a chali and lemain
ed quletlj theie while the men went
to a machine dtawet and got the skiit
binding
"Why didn't iou scieam?" was
asked.
"I was afraid he would kill me," .said
Rosa Then she went on:
"He took something tiom his pocket
and placed It to my no&e."
"he next thing bhe remembeib was
the fellow saying "good bje." She
then so earned and her mothei came In
as stated.
"Did you find any of het hair on the
floot ?"
"Not a speck," afllimed Wrs James
The sill's head sjlcvv'ed that hei halt
had been literally chopped. The scalp
showed In some places near the fote
henri. "No hair was found In the
stove. There was no sclssoib aiound,"
said Wrs. James.

jXEUVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A CUHE FOR IT.
Not n l'ntcut Cure-nil, Nor n Modern
Miracle, Hut Siuipl) n Rational Cure
for Dispepslu.
In theso days of humbuggery nnd de
ception, the manufacturers of patent
medicines, ns a rule, seem to think their
medicines will rjt sell unless they
claim that It vvll cure oveiy disease
under the sun. And they never think
of leaving out dyspepsia nnd stomach
tioubles. They are sure to claim that
their nostiuni Is absolutely certain to
euro eveij- dyspeptic and ho need look
no fuither.
In tho face of those absurd claims it
is lefieslting to note that the propile
tots of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets have
caiefullj- lotralned from making ant
undue claims or false repiesentations
legnidlng the motlts of tills most ex
cellent leinedy for djspepsta and stom
ach tioubles. Thoy make but one claim
fot it, and that Is, that for indigestion
nnd various stomach troubles Stuait's
Dyspepsia Tablets is a radical cure.
They no no farther than this and any
man or woman suffeilnsr from Indi
gestion, chronic or net volts dyspepsia,
who will give the remedy n ttlnl will
find that nothing Is claimed for It,
that the facts will not fully sustain.
It Is a modem discovery, composed
of haimless vegetable Ingiedlents ac
ceptable to tho weakest or most deli
cate stomach. Its great success In cur
ing stomach tioubles Is due to the fact
that the medical proyeitles aie such
that It will digest whatever whole
some food Is taken Into the stomach,
no matter whethei the stomach Is In
good woiklng older or not It tests the
oveiwotked otgan and leplenlshes the
bodj, the blood, the nerves, ci eating a
henlthj appetite, gives lefioshlng sleep
nnd the blessings which always accom
panj" a good digestion and proper as
similation of food.
In using Stuait's Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting Is tequlied. Simply eat plenty
of wholesome food and take these Tab
lets at each meal, thus assisting and
testing tho stomach which lapldly re
gains Its pioper digestive power, when
the Tablets will be no longer lequlred
Nervous Dyspepsia Is slmly a condi
tion In which some poitlon or pottlons
of the neivous system ate not properly
nouilshed Good digestion Invigorates
the neivoiib system and eveiy organ
