A GUEL’S ESCAPADE.
CAUGHT WHEN READY TO ELOPE
The Wt HIM Sadie Boblnson. of Boston, mobbed
Sot Parent* of *71.000.
A dispatch from Boston says: Miss
sadie Itobinson, of South Framings,
ham, Mass., is thirteen years old and
weighs one hundred and eighty
pounds. But this is not the ODiy re
spect in which she is remarkable, lor
she has just confessed one of the most
precocious of recent juvenile crimes.
Miss Sadie, through very young, is
big enough to have a lover, and her
romantic disposition is in its devel
opment proportionate to her size,
rather than to her years. She has
read all that has been printed about
the Morosini and other recent esca
pades of like nature. She determined
to emulate the example of the runa
way daughters whose adventures
have lieen described and she spent sev
eral days in preparation for an elope
ment, which was to occur to-morrow.
She realized that the chief drawback
to the happiness of the eloping cou
ple whose parents foiled to relent after
the objectionable match had beeu
made, was the lack of means with
which to enjoy the cottage life which
they had so carelessly assumed. Miss
Sadie therefore prepared for a luxu
rious feathering ol he nest against
all contingencies.
A MISSING VOBTtTNE.
Her parents, Charles ami /
Robinson. recently moved to South"
Framingham from the South end of
the city. Mrs. Robinson, who has
considerable property in her own
right, a few days ago sold a house on
Shawnut avenue, for which she re
ceived $15,000 cash. She put the
money, with a lot of bonds and other
securities, into a large black valise,
which she kept constantly under tier
eves, and took it te Framingham.
The value of the property which she
lugged about for more than a week
like a bag of old clothes exceeded $75,-
000. Last Thursday afternoon she
was going out for a walk and Mr.
Robinson was to accompany her. She
prepared to take the bag with tier.
Mr. Robinson remonstrated and said
that whenever she walked out people
remarked: “There goes that woman
with the trunk.’’ Mr*. Robinson in
sisted upon taking it. whereupon her
1 husband refused to go unless she left,
it at home. At his suggestion she
placed it iu a closet, locking the door
and notifying the servant girl that it
closely. This servant had been a
ttusted member of the household for
yea:#. Her name was Julia. Mrs.
Robinson appreciated her services so
much (hat after the sale of the Shaw
nut avenue house she voluntarily
gave her $7,000, saying that she did
not want to have her going about pen
niless after her mistress’ death. The
sum, however, was placed, with Ju
liaT concurrence, in the same bag.
After returning, with Mr. Robinson,
site did not go to the closet, being oth
erwise occupied.and even went to bed
without putting the bag beneath her
bead, something that she bad never
neglected doing from the time she
had come Into possession of it. Neith
er was she very prompt in looking af
ter It the next morning, but later In
the day, when she opened the closet
door, she startled everybody with a
shriek and fell heavily upon the floor.
Her husband ran to her and asked
what was the matter.
"My money!” she screamed; "It’s
all gone.”
STOLES' BT THE DAUGHTER.
Nobody knew anything about it
and search was unrailing, so before
night the police were sent for. Bos
ton and State detective, renewed the
search in the house uaaucoeeafuuly,
but on Saturday morning they found
$7,000 tucked away under the fence
in one earner of the yard. But they
could get no trace by searching, of the
black bagand the bulk of its contents.
Finally they interviewed the ueigbors.
At the next house a young lady
grave the officer to understand that
something had been seen, but as the
Robinsons had only been in the neigh
borhood a short time, and as they were
strangers she asked not tobequestion
ed further. The officer gave her to un
derstand that the matter was one of
great importance, and dually both
daughter and her mother stated that
between 6 and 7 o’clock on Friday
morning they chanced to be looking
out of their back windows and saw
Sadie Hebison come from a rear door
of her mother’s residence, clad in a
night dress and with nothing on her
headorfeet. She had a large black
bag and went with it to the cellar,
entering by way of the bulkhead. In
a moment she returned and re-entered
the house.
The officers then charged the young
girl with the robbery. She at first de
nied everything, but finally she admit
ted that she had carried the valise into
the cellar on the morning of Friday,
as described by the neighbors, and
said that upon returning :e the house
she dressed herself, break-fasted and
prepared for her daily trip to school
Jin theoity. When leaving the house
for the depot she did not go out the
front way, but out of the rear door
and into the cellar, taking the ralise
and crossing the garden, out through
a back gate and to the depot. Upon
reaching the cl*y, she said, she met
in the depot a Mrs. Ann S'unmons
toß, who was once employed by her
mother as a domestic, and ahe with a
knife ripped open the valise, took
out all the valuables and placed them
in new yellow valise, bought for the
purpose. This Simmonstoa woman,
according to Sadie, had followed her
day after day when she came out of
the depot and theateued to kill her un
ices she brought to her that black va
lue that she had seen Mrs. Robinson
have. A few days ago she met her
and drew from her sleeve a dirk which
she threatened to plunge into her
bodja Sadie was terrified and, as she
believed to save her life, brought the
valise as requested. She told the of
-tleers that this woman was to be
found on Church street. Officers
searched Boston for this woman and
fonnd and arrested her yesterday
morning.
getting beaut to elope.
Meanwhile Sadie had stuck lo her
story for several hours. Finally
donating it, Stale Detective Bean
questioned the girl further and at
length she retracted the first slorv
and made what proves to be a genu
ine confession. She exonerated the
Sim mount on woman, said she was in
love wita a Boston lad, whose name
she still refutes to disclose, and that
ffiey intended to lake the bag of funds
and fly with it together to-morrow.
She said that on reaching Bostou on
Friday morning she bought anew
bag. went to the Adams House and
there transferred she securities to it
and later in the day threw the old big
into the Charles river. The new bag.
she told the officer, she took to a drug
•tore iu Church street and asked a
clerk, whom she kuew, to keep it for
her till Monday.
Detective Bean, on obtaining this
statement, took the girl in bis carriage
and drove with her to Bosteu. They
to the drug store aad Bean catl
wßor the clerk, named Louis. He
C4BU-. forward and upon going to tl e
iVj/nago, in which Sadie still sat, si e
him t£ bring out that value
'’thatsheTjad left on Friday. He did
so. Bean asked him if he knew what
was in it. He replied that he thought
probably dirty eloll es or something of
that sort. The bag was taken to p: -
lice headquarters and on being open
ed it was found to contain $15,500 in
cash, $25,000 in government and rai’-
road bonds, $25,000 or more (market
value) in various stocks and $7,000
worth of diamonds. There was $735
cash missing, but this sum was prob
nbly contained in a pocket in the
old bag which was throw into the
river.
Sadie will not be prosecuted, but
will probably be sent to seme private
reformatory institution. Her mother
is more grief-stricken over the recov
ery of the property than over the ori
ginal lose, and says she would rather
have lost It than have learned of her
daughter's guilt.
The London Times of the 30th of
August devoted a very long- article
to a description of Mr. Fades’ pro
-posed ship railway across the isth
mus of Tehuantepec, Mexico. The
Time, considers the project “perfect
ly feasible,” aud says that “the
scheme is a bold ouc, but uot more
remarkable for its boldness, as well as
Us originality, than for its engineer
taf soundness and for the perfect
ness with which or cry detail ha, been
wttrked out anti every possible con
tingency provided against.” Mr.
Kads is now in England seeking to
enlist capital In aid of his enterprise,
hod the Times says truly that “it
would give the people of the United
States a sea route between their At
lantic'aud Pacific ports scarcely a
thousand miles longer than the rail
way between New York and San
Francisco, and it would give to the
vast valley of the Mississippi agate
way equivalent to the discharge of its
mighty river directly into the Pacific.
A work designed to confer such great
benefits on the commerce of the
world should commend itself with
especial foree to thi, country (Great
Britain) which is carrying more than
70 per cent, of that commerce.”
The Lord Mayor of London was
only a porter in a warehouse, but he
persevered iu the face of all opposi
tion and arose rapidly. It is only
persistency aud merit that has made
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup the greatest
family remedy fer coughs and colds
now offered to the suffering public.
