CONVICT TELLS OF HIDDEN FORTUNE

JOI LET INMATE RELATES AM AMAZING TALE Chance-given Riches are Hla, but Ha Despairs of Ever Using the Buried "Swag.” Joliet, Ill.—Within the penitentiary walls here is a man serving his fourth prison sentence for crime. Blind chance has made him the master of a fortune, which, were he free, he could hardly spend during his lifetime. The only evidence of its existence is a key that dangles from his neck. The thought of death —death in a prison cell —has brought the remarkable story of Convict No. 4725 to light. He recently told It for the first time in the private office of the warden of the penitentiary. » And this is the story, which —if it is t rue —rivals in weirdness of detail the most bizarre imaginings of a Dumas or Poe. In December of 1915, No. 4725 was released from the penitentiary and be* gan working to regain a place in society. For a time his efforts were rewarded. He began saving and made arrangements to marry and live down the past. On his way home from work one night he was accosted by a man whom he had known in the past The man, with a good deal of secrecy, gave him • sealed envelope, which he told him not to open until he had reached home. The Envelope contained a key, a $2 bill, and a paper of instructions. The paper directed him to a certain place where he would find a strong box wrapped in paper. This he was to keep with the key until a newspaper should tell him where to dispose of it Number 4725 —his name is William Mansfield Williams —waited until the advertisement appeared. He kept the appointment The advertiser did not For some days he waited. Then he opened the box. Within it were several thousands of dollars in Government bonds, and necklaces and rings he could set no value upon. Frightened, he hid the box. Another advertisement appeared. This time Williams did not respond. A few days later he was arrested on a charge of highway robbery. He was tried and sentenced to fourteen years. The chief witness against him in the trial was a fellow convict, with whom he had formed an acquaintance oa leaving the prison. The case, Williams says, was a “frame.” From time to time since his imprisonment, Williams declares that he has received threatening letters. Death upon the expiration of his sentence is predicted unless the box is restored. “I hope it comes sooner than that,” said Williams when questioned recently. “My soul already is dead. Long years of imprisonment have made me indifferent. Three years more and 1 will die and be buried over near the prison quarry without their trouble. “But when I go, the box and its contents will go with me, because it is hidden so safely that it never can be found. If it should chance that I live thru the eight years more of my imprisonment, my first act as a free man will be to throw it into . Lake Michlr gan. ' “Turn it over to the State? Why should I? Twelve years of my life behind prison bars have dissipated any Impression that the State has any regard forme. I have nothing to live for. Society has branded me as an undersirable. The only way to efface that stain is to die. I used to amuse myself in the early years of my imprisonment writing to representatives of society for help that never came. I*m thru with that now.” Investigation revealed that Williams’ story. In so far as it relates to his imprisonment, is true.

COUPLE MEET AFTER 23 YEARS

They Promptly Renew Old Quarrel Where It Left Off. New York, N. Y.— Twenty-three years ago, after twelve years of happy married life, Thomas Hanley and his wife, Elizabeth, had a quarrel.

LAST NIGHT’S STORM DOES NOT STOP CHAUTAUQUA CROWDS

THIS IS MUSIC DAY. The Ibig Chautauqua tent was fairly well filled last evening, although the storm came up just as the people were ready to start for the evening (program. The concert by Madam Ringsdori and Miss McAdoo was enjoyed by all. Madam Ringedorf pleased especially in her old English folk songs. The little lady with the big harp was also heartily applauded and much enjoyed. The Floyds gave a great program of magic. It was a high class and perfectly clean program from start to finish —just what a chautauqua should attempt to give in this line of work. Two things in the program last night will be remembered and talked about for a long time. The trunk “mystery” was one of these, Prof. Floyd allowed himself to be hand-cuffed, then tied in a big sack and placed in one of his large trunks. The trunk was then locked and tied with large ropes. Almost instantly Prof. Floyd appeared on the platform again and Mrs. Floyd was found in the trunk—all hand-cuffed and arranged as her husband had been a moment before. The quickness of this transfer was simply stunning.

The Smith-Spning-Holmes company are here today. They will give a full evening concert starting at 8 o’clock. This company of five fine musicians play nine instruments and some of them are the finest instruments of the kind in the world. This is the biggest musical event of the season.

The Hon. Clifford Roe, of Chicago, will lecture at the chautauqua tomorrow. His subject is “Woman and the War.” Mr. Roe is well known all over the United States as the lawyer who has done so much to clean up Chicago. His great fight has been against the red light district and other social vices. Saturday is WAR DAY at the big tent. With Clifford Roe and Ada Ward both speaking on that day it should be the big day of the assembly this year. Both are charming speakers. Both have a great story to tell. The Misses Keller Concert company of Los Angeles will furnish the music both afternoon and evening.

Mbhala’s mind reading was also a big feature of the program. The lady was blindfolded on the stage and Prof. Floyd went through the audience collecting all sorts of things from the people. Mohala instantly told what they were—naming the dates on coins and the time shown by watches that were turned back in an effort to fool her. The only explanation of this feature of the program is that Mohala really reads the mind of some one in the audience who knows the things she tells. A great deal of interest is already evident in the coming of Ada Ward of London on Saturday night. Miss Ward is one of the really great war speakers. She spent 29 months with the soldiers in France and Belgium and her story of the boys over there is most interesting. Ada Ward does not tell about the blood and thunder side of the war. . She tells a delightful story of the boys—their courage and fellowship. If you have a son or a dear friend over in France you will feel better about his being there after you have heard “The Little Lady from the Trenches.” Ada WaM is a little woman. She weighs less than 100 pounds, but it is all brains and courage. Don’t miss this part of the chautauqua. She speaks Saturday night at 8:30 o’clock.
