Practically all of the stolen property has been returned or settled for. E. V. “Ransford reurned the money received for a pair of shoes, Dr. Rose M. Remmeck has made settlement for a pair of nose glasses she fitted for the girl, and C. B. Steward has signified a willingness to settle his claim of six dollars for $5. The matter will be at a standstill until the return of Judge Hanley but the girl would be offered better advantages if she were to be sent to the reformatory for a short term, is the general opinion. She confessed to taking money from C. B. Steward’s office in the Hildebrand building, and $3.56 from Rosa Culp’s home. Mr. Steward had missed one of the keys to his office which he had left in the door, and thinks the girl took it and when he was out of town on business she went to his office and ransacked it at different times, finding the money in a drawer to his desk.
