HAD NOT HAD TIME TO DISPOSE OF BOOTY. Recognized as a Man Who Was Charged with Robbing a Silk House in Hoboken—Confesses and Implicates Two Others. A good memory for faces and a qulck @ye on the part of a Pinkerton detective hag resulted in the arrest of Adolph Waltz, alias Alfred Wats, the butler who disappeared from Grey Towers, the baronial home of William Welch Harrison, near Philadelphia, along with some $20,000 worth of gewels, on Thanks- Biving day. Several weeks ago a young man who gaye ‘his name as Adolph Waits applied for the position of butler at Grey Towers. He had letters of recommenda- tion from prominent New Yorkers and his application was successful, He was polite and attentive, and goon earned the respect of his empl 3. One Thanksgiving Day, while the mem- bers of the family were at dinner, Walts disappeared, After dinner Mrs. Harrison went to her room and dls- covered that her jewel-case had been rifled. Mr. Harrison's apartment had also been entered and the clothes he had taken off while dressing for dinner had been stripped of #0 in cash and a gold wateh. Many Jewels Missing. Missing from Mrs. Harrison's jewel case were a pearl necklace, valued at $15,000; a sunburst, valued at $300; three pearl horseshoe pins, a pearl heart pin, two en@meliod pins set with ds,a black gun-metai watehchain, set with diamosds: a small pearl heart pin, two gtrings of Imitation pearls, an open. face waten, and a sold cnain with @ gold le. “Tho total value of the Ing articles was 320,000. Chief of Police Wiliiam Hayes, jr, of Hoboken, read the description of ‘the missing man and it tallied with that of @ man who had been arrested in Hobo- ken under the name of “Alfred Wetz.” “Wetz" had been charged with stealing silk from a house in which he had been employed, but had gained the sympathy pt the judge and jury by throwing fits in court and had been set free. Hayes sent the photograph of “Wetz" to the Pinkerton agency here, and it rwarded to Mrs. Harrison, She at once ri ized it as that of the miss- ing Waltz. Pinkerton men ‘were set Wateh certain places in. the city for Waltz, Hy Detoctive George S. Dougherty caught sight of a man who tallied with the description. Dougherty followed the man for hours, and the chase. led him all over the city, Finally the suspect entered the house at No. 1371 First avenue.

He Has Served Several Terms on the Island, Been in Many Encounters with Police, but at Last His Nerves Give Out. ‘Talk atiout exuberance of emotion, that subtle power which exhibits itself when a delicate girl faints. ‘Then imagine a hardened criminal, a footpad who has the nerve to hold up and rob another man at dark of night, and then imagine this footpad to be a leading member of the notorlous Monk Eastman gang of desperadoes! Can you picture such « man yielding to the subtle power in a pretty faint? .

On Oct. 2 he held up and robbed a man in Monroe street and the police captured him red-handed, but not without a fight, He would ‘fight anything. ‘And yet when he was brought up for sentence to-day he fainted clear away when he heard Recorder Goff say ‘Seven years.” He dropped to the floor and re- mained unconsclous until Coroner Bcho- ler, who Is a and re- yived him. ‘Then he was so overcome ‘that he could neither speak nor wallk ‘and had to be carried back to his o in the ‘Tombs.
