Upon lnvi ligation m fund that the revolver tukon from the dtk of had Pro- from one of the boy pupil. The other article wens Identified a belonging to pupil about the building. Profeaor Payne wa wen yostordny afternoon by an Aitorlnn reporter. Ho made substantially the following statement: pnoFEsson patne talks. "Tliere I a gr.ut mystury coruu-cted with the theft which I have Just re ferred to," sold he, "and I muat con fess that we are utterly In the dark to tho guilty person. There is 'rvery reason to oeiuv.e mo cuipnt to be a boy for the article taken are those which would most naturally bo sought by a boy. It la also reasonably certain that the individual i not very , young for any Idea to this effect Is dlHrtpated by the exceeding cunning and Ingenuity displayed. I will state that thl I not the first time that thefts of this kind have occurred, aU ' though It la by far the most Important and widespread. Since the first j offense wa reported to me I have , taken every precaution to obviate re- petition. I have also exercised all cUHgvnoe In attempting to detect sonic one ln-thes pilfering, assisted by the Janitor. Hut in spite of all that could be dotui In this direction articles of more or leas value have been con stantly stolon, We have gone to the extent of Waving small codnu even 1 pennies about upon the desks, en- ; deflvnrinir in wntih t.m i.uiir nut ! alnf-lll.1t n. lit mjlv ftnnnnt lha nmnnt. 1 has been Invariably taken while the j would save many Uvea. Constipation thief completely baffled detection. One : may seem a little thing, but it lnvari of the reasons why I am convinced nl-y develops Into something worm, the guilty party Is a boy is the fact ! and the longir it la allowed to run, the that Siime time ago I missed a teiuila ball from my desk. Now It is the most reasonable thing In the world to conclude that no girl would have taken It. But this Is absolutely as far as we have been able to get In the direction of detection. It is one of the most mysterious cases I have ever encountered." ANOTHER STATEMENT. Janitor Due ' was next seen. Hs story of the. theft- was substantially similar to that of Professor Payne. "I have done everything within my power to catch the party," said he, "but with all I can do, the thief evades me." "How could the thief effect an en trance?" was asked. "That ia what completely puzzles me," was the reply. "I have taken every precaution in this respeot but to no use. The only conceivable man ner In which entrance could be made, as far as I can see, would be for the thief to reach one of the window by means of a long ladder, but no ladder Pears' soap is dried a whole year. That's why it lasts so. '.htm ever Ix-'-n sein nr I thr any Ifvltl-mte of one having bwn usvd I have placed coin about the building and laid n wait for some ine to rome ! and tuke them, but It never do any gwd. H ,ni' llm the coin are taken anyway, irucilrilly from unlt-r my , vwy now. I am a.itlHfiod that a boy la the guilty oiw, but I have doubt , that H I one of the pupil. II wever, jl have only my own tmpr. -l'n to KUll ntc In thl belief." i It now developed that a short tlm wa opiwd on'.' night and aum amounting to about j tak-n. Not tho Hllghu-t trace of ii ha ever bv-un found, it I further leanwl thut then- theft began prior to the ap pointment of I'roCe-Mor I'ayne to the pofltli-n of principal, aixl that Profes-ye- ur Wright wo eotUntIy annoyed by the commkHlon of petty theft about the building, but he, like Pro for Payne, wa utlorly unabW to detect the author of th offenses. THK FACULTr MKETS.
