There was no question he would not answer, and Capt. Cooper believes that only two women, Mrs. Gertrude Pike, wife of Arthur E. Pike, a cotton merchant of No. 40 Riverside Drive, and Miss Marie A. Kohn, daughter of a wealthy Parle banker, were his victims. Eaton proffered letters, however, which re- vealed a fact he admitted, that he ‘was planning other coups of a lar @ort against women of wealth. Mi88 KOHN IDENTIFIES HER JEWELS. Miss Kohn, accompanied by « law- yer, appeared at headquarters and identified a quantity of her jewelry, fnstuding a wedding ring marked “Clara to Sigmund,” which, she sald, was her mother's wedding ring, and another marked “M. R.," which she gaid belonged to her mother. Only a small stickpin and a blue enamel brooch were missing. “T became acquainted with the man through his interest in my Pomeran- fam dogs which I had with he at the Manhattan Hotel,” Miss Kohn sald, im @pite of the lawyer's injunctions to ten nothing about herself. Detective Foley took the girl to the hospital saying to Eaton: “I've brought a frftnd to see you.” » “How do you do?" responded Baton @ he saw Miss Kohn, He did not @em embarrassed.

Clean Your soul now. It may be your last chance, dear,” sobbed the woman, and Eaton, pressing her hand, an- eweret: “I will. I'li tell everything.” Bo he began at the beginning, his boyhood in the village of Swansea in Wales, where he and Mrs. Eaton were childhood playmates. “I was @ wild youngster, wayward the construction gang taught me tenography and I worked at it nights, At last I became proficient and de- termined to return East, but first I There was a rising of Yaqui Indians then—it was in 190¢—and T seized on it at once, I wrote how my partner had been killed, our mines destroyed and I driven from the country, escaping with my life, but little else. “My wife insisted at once om com- ing to join me in my misfortune.

My mother wrote of her pride and I felt that, come what might, I must make good on this last falsehood, “It was then I met Miss Kohn, in- troduced by a mutual acquaintance at the Hotel Manhattan. I had form- ulated no plan for retrieving my fortune, but the sight of her wonder- ful Jewels gave me an idea, With the proceeds of their sale I felt that I could retugn to Wales in triumph. I was sick of this country. I hated my Ill fortune here and I wanted only to get back ho; So I decided @ rob Miss Kohn." WIFE URGES HIM TO CONF ALL. “Tell it all, Herbert,” she urged again, and, nodding, he went on. His success with the Kohn robbery led naturally to the robbery of Mrs, Pife, and already he had picked out future vide him with the wealth he had boasted of, and once he had accom- plished this he mean to halt. Detectives Horan and Foley re- covered these gems yesterday. In all they have about $12,000 worth of the $15,000 gems and gowns which Miss Kohn lost. Mrs. Eaton, her emotion redoubled by the recollection, told of having worn these gowns and worn them out. “Herbert told me they had belonged to Mra, Karter,” she sobbed eand Baton, resugping the story, told of bis invention the character of "Col. Carter,” retired English army of. ficer, su; visits to whom apvered his meetings with Miss Kohn, Mrs. Pike and other women. It was when he brought home some of Mise Kohn's jewels her gowns that Eaton changed the name of “Karter.” Mrs. Baton noticed "M. K." inscribed on Miss Koh clothes and on some of her jewels and Eaton explained hastily that Col, Karter spelled his name with a K and that the gowns and jewels were the property of his wife, who had died. “The Colonel is so sensitive a na. ture that he cannot bear to have the things in the house,” he told his wife. “He wanted me to give them to you.” “Was the pearl and diamond watch Many Juvenile Freaks of Fashion Are Seen Among New York High School Pupils, Though Instructors Seek to Discourage Modes That Closed School in Lynn, Mass. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. What's the matter with the high school girl's dress? boilers are out of commission and Superintendent Frank J. Peaslee “doesn’t want to subject half-dressed girls to severe colds.” This is the superintendent's announcement: high school girls would dress as they should and not come to school halt dressed, it would not be necessary for us to close the English High School building on “It account of the cold weather. that requiring them to remain in school would be com ducive to severe colds.” The costumes of certain New York school giris havent yet succeeded in closin, As they dress now I think ig the schools, But that the girls do wear utterly inadequate and unsuitable jeg) clothes I think no impartial observer can deny. course not every girl offends in this respect, but there were altogether too many sartorial sensations among the book-laden maidens whom I watched depart from the Washington Irving High School yesterday afternoon. ‘The 6,000 students at this school shield and long sleeves. Still others have many remarkable achtevements to their credit, and it ie only fair to say that the ridiculous tollettes I saw could undoubtedly be paralleled in any girls’ high school in Greater New York. TEACHERS DISCOURAGE, BUT CAN'T STOP THEM. My later conversation with Wash- ington Irving teachers proved that they do everything they can to dis- courage the modern young woman's mania for flashy clothes. But she— or some of her—is apparently not to be discouraged. One girl, the centre of an ad- miring group, wore a Russian tunio of blue serge moulded to disclose every line of her figure with a white vest cut low in front, a high collar flaring behind and conspiclous white sleeves. Her skirt wae in ewo pieces, a full, leosely pleated everskirt short enough to display fully a pair of high-heeled bronze alip- pers. The girl's halr was done and she were tipped at an five degrees, with @ green bird perched airily on the rim. In the same hand with her book satchel she carried a vanity Another young woman displayed a black velvet hat with a white Romeo ostrich plume, at least eighteen inchei long, curving languorously over her left ear. Her thin cotton frock, with no petticoat under it, had three two-inoh folds in the skirt between waist and knees, and was very narrow at the bottom. A wide sash of black ribbon was wound about her hips and tled in a@ bow at the back. SOME OTHER COSTUMES OF SCHOOL GIKLS, Many girls affected the skirt with one or more deep flounces puffing out over the hips in @ panier éffect.
