ARMOUR THIEF DISCOVERED

Mystery of Robbery Partly Cleared, but Name Is Concealed. * • Kansas City, Mo., April 7. came known that the thief who stole $105,000 in stocks and bonds from Mrs. S. B. Armour, widow of the millionaire packer, was a woman. She was a confidential employe 6f Mrs. Armour and, having confessed and restored most of the plunder, remains in her position. . Those on the inside of the mystery contend that the mind of the thief is unbalanced, that she has a mania for buying high-priced articles, and took the securities to enable herself to satisfy this mania. Because of Mrs. Armour’s seventy six years—and her wish to avoid publicity' in court proceedings and because of the thief’s qontriteness following her confession, the thief will not be-prosecuted.
