STERN TO HAND OVER MONEY 4 Lines Up Men and Womeg in Furniture Store at Noon The highwayman whe held up F, Stern and his office force shortly after after 11 o'clock this morn- ing was captured within five blocks of his residence at 834 Lakeview av. at 1 o'clock this afternoon by City Detectives Ed Grif. fith and Gil Philbrick. He gave the name of Charles Heltsley. He offered no resistance when the officers placed him under arrest. He was unarmed. When asked where he hid the re- volver with which he held up Stern, Heltsley said he “sloughed” it in his resi- dence. Heltsléy told the officers that he “must have been crazy, and that he guessed he had all that was coming to him.” In a statement made this afternoon Heljtsley said he had made a deposit of $25 on some furniture, which he insisted on being re- turned to him. When this was denied he went and got a gun and forced the return of the money, Heltsley is a carpenter who seems to have a con- siderable amount of mon- ey. He is building a cost- ly two-story cottage for a residence, Calmly entering F.

To the eity detectives Mr, Sterq told this story: “My wife and myself, together | with Miss Agnes Luddington and Jobn Myers, were at work In the office when this man entered the | front door from Seeond ay. He did not stop but came straight back to the office, He came | straight up to me and said: ““t want $25, and 1 want it quick." | “I told him there was doing. “Well, perhaps this will bring the money,’ said the highwayman, and with that he whipped out a big, shining revolver and leveled it my head, Robber Urges Haste. | “‘Let him have the money,’ I | said to Mrs. Stern | “When I told Mrs. Stern to give | him the money he polnted the gun |at her and again said he wanted the money quick.
