But I’m through with running away.” Cohen, when ne was further exam ined by the police Tuesday, remained composed. He reiterated that he had done nothing wrong, and that Miss de Janon had lured him from his home. The prisoner persisted in declaring that he would explain the affair satisfac torily to his wife, and return to her. The waiter is trying to paint him self a martyr. “I took Miss de Janon away to save her life,” he said Tues day. “She begged me to go with her, threatening to kill herself If I didn't. I wanted to save her from herself.” Letters discovered by the police, however, indicate that the waiter wielded a mysterious power over the girl, even before the death of her mother, after which she was sent to the private school in Philadelphia where she w’as so lonely. Wrote Pathetic Letters. The search of the couple's baggage revealed forty-two notes and letters. The most pathetic of them all is this, written in a schoolgirl's hand, but couched in pseudo-legal terms: “Jan 3, 1910. “This is to certify that I, Roberta de Janon, have left my home at the Bellevue-Stratford in Philadelphia of my own accord, and 1 also acknowl edge that I ased Fred Cohen to take me with him, and after refusing sev eral times he finally consented to lake me as his daughter, as he has always treated me as such and I al ways looked upon him as my true friend and protector. ■ I agreed to pay all my own ex penses and the said Fred Cohen has never encouraged or assisted me in loaning home. Today is the sixth day v e Lave been together and Fred has treated nte just as if I was his own daughter, having nothing but my wel- 1 fare in view. This will exonerate ] Fred Cohen from any blame whatso ever, as it was I who begged him to i teke me away. ROBERTA DE JANON.” ! Among other letters found in Miss ' dj Janon’s effects were the following: “My Dearest, Darling Papa: “Wen, I hope you will have a pleas ant conversation with that woman at 7 p. m. I am sorry I will not have a chance to talk to my new papa again tonight, but I will think of him just the same, and, perhaps, dream about him, for do you know, papa, dear, I have been dreaming of you a great deal lately. Be sure to make inquiries on Monday as to when the steamers sail, and find out if I can have ‘tootsie” in the cabin. Good night, my own dear papa. ROBERTA.” (Tootsie w’as the girl’s pet dog.)

If it is a nice day, and if papa is not ready to take ‘Tootsie’ down about 10:45, I will try to come down, but if I find that’s im possible don’t get angry. Good night. “ROBERTA.” Fred to Roberta: “Hello, honey: If a man of twenty six is too old for you, then certain I don’t stand a ghost of a chance.” Roberta to Fred in reply: “A man of forty-tw’o is about the right age for a father, so you see you stand more than a ghost of a chance. "Your Daughter.” Roberta to Cohen: “Nothing to do, Freddie darling. Noth ing to do, you say let’s Take a trip on memory’s ship. Back to the by-gone days.
