PITTSBURGH, Pa., Jan. 27.—A clever jewelry and hotel thief was arrested Jan. 22, in the Union Station, this city, and taken into custody. The arrest was made on the complaint of M. S. Benedict, of the M. S. Benedict Mfg. Co., of East Syracuse, N. Y.. who charged the man with stealing a coat and an overcoat from a hotel in Chicago. The arrest occurred in this way: Mr. Benedict had been a guest at the Great Northern hotel, Chicago, and while there his dress coat and overcoat were stolen. He left Chicago for Pitts burgh on the Pennsylvania Limited, Jan 21, and while on the train happened to notice that a fellow passenger was wearing a coat exactly similar to the one stolen from him. Before the train arrived at Pittsburgh Mr. Benedict telegraphed to the police of this city, asking them to arrest the wearer of the coat on the arrival of the train, and gave them a full description of the man. The wearer of the coat was taken into custody as soon as the train arrived here and immediately taken to the Central Police Station; here he gave his name as John Peters, and said he was a Chicago jeweler. He was well dressed and had the general appearance of a prosperous business man. Peters was searched, as was a small satchel which he carried, and in this satchel the detective found three parcels, one of which contained about 200 keys that would open anything from a dog collar to a safe; another contained a loaded revolver, and a third contained a collection of fine gold jewelry, cuff buttons, brooches. earrings and other pieces set with diamonds. The jewelry was arranged on cards in a way that showed that it was not personal property, and the detective immediately suspected that it was stolen from some traveling man.

During the evening Superintendent Leslie received a telegram from Chicago telling him of the theft of jewelry samples from Chas. Untermeyer, in that city, and he telegraphed back information of Peters’s arrest. A Pinkerton detective came on and identified the jewelry as that taken from Mr. Untermeyer’s trunk, and detective Frank A. McDonald, of the Chicago force, then arrived and took the so called Peters back to Chicago, without the formality of requisition papers. Peters is believed by the police to be a professional crook and a dangerous character. He is about 55 years of age and dresses stylishly He wears a mustache and light gray goatee.

When Billy Sunday arrived at Winona Lake, Ind., after his recent meetings at Syracuse, N. Y., with his many gifts, the one present that claimed the admiration and attention of his two sons—Will and Paul—was the silver loving cup that the employes of the Benedict Mfg. Co., East Syracuse, presented to him on the eve of his departure. Scores of the men and women of the company’s force “hit the trail” and became deeply interested. The many factory meetings conducted in the shops made a deep impression on the Sunday party, which has been at Syracuse a number of weeks.
