8 THE WILMINGTON MESSENGER, FRIDA Y, SEPTEMBER 8, 1905 : i I I 5 TIE 10MG PARTIES C. J. Cooley and Wife Hot Wanted in Kalamazoo RELEASED LAST T Cooley Says he Expects to Make Some one Suffer For Arresting Him. 3Ir. i:id Mrs. Cooley Were Thought t be Professor Harrington and Wife Wanted in Kalamazoo for the Lar oeny of More Ttr.ui $2.000 Sheriff of Kalamazoo County end Lady Who Was to Identify Parties Arrived Lai Night. Sheriff Charles Shean, of Kalama zoo county, Michigan, arrived in Wil mington last night, accompanied by Mrs. Vanllaaften, for the purpose of seeing if C. J., Cooley and his wife, known as Madame Ona, were parties wanted in Kalamazoo Michigan, for the larceny of $2,000. They arrived on the train from the north due at G o'clock hut it did not reach here until nearly S :;(), the train being an hour and a quarter late. Sheriff Sheau and Mrs. Wanllaaften went at once to the city hall and Mrs. Vanllaaften as soon as she saw Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Cooley said they were not the persons.wanted. .Mr. and Mrs. Cooley were immediately released from custody. Sheriff Shean and Mrs. Vanllaaften left Kalamazoo on Monday night and they will leave tonight on their return. Mrs. Vanllaaften was not the party -who lost the money but she had seen the man and his wife who committed the theft quite often and consequently could have easily recognized them., Sheriff Shean said that the parties wanted stole more than $2,000 from persons in Kalamazoo. The particular warrant under which they were arrest ed charged them with the larceny of .$740 from Mrs. Emma Flagg. This was the largest, sum stolen, the other amounts ranging from $100 to $500. The parties wanted in Kalamazoo l presented themselves as being Pro jfessor and Mrs. Harrington. They "rwere hypnotists, palmists and fortune -tellers. Harrington and his wife wefked a slick scheme. They adver tised to tell fortunes and also said they could tell in what manner money . should be invested so as to bring -in lange returns. There, was something peculiar about the requirements, the fortune tellers not being able to tell of the wonderful investment unless the : money should be deposited with them -for at least twenty four hours. They worked this scheme for some time but "-(it last after a successful day's work, Ikaving received many deposits from persons who were anxious to invest and reap large returns, they folded their tents and silently stole away. The fortune tellers had secured board with a nice family and those who pa tronized them were among the best people in Kalamazoo. After the 15th of February, 1904, nothing was seen of Harrington and his wife in Kalamazoo and the chief of police and sheriff of that county have been unable to locate him since that time. Rewards have been offered from other cities for parties charged with committing a similar offense. Several of these show the meth ods employed to be the same as those used in Kalamazoo. When a telegram was sent Mere asking for a description of Cooley and his wife and the same w as wired to the Kalamazoo authorities they felt positive that Cooley and his -wife were the persons wanted Mr. and Mrs. Cooley have been on "Wrightsville Beach during the entire season, Mrs. Cooley being known as Madame Ona. She is a palmist. They were first arrested on last Saturday night upon instructions from the Kan sas City authorities but on the follow ing day were released. On Monday they were again arrested, this time in obedience to a telegram from Kalama 7.00, Michigan, asking that they be ar , rested and held for identification. Mr. and Mrs. Cooley were very indignant "When they were arrested and it now seems that they had sufficient cause to be so. They were not locked up but were allowed to stay at police head quarters and occupy the private office of the chief of police. Mr. Cooley has been absolutely unconcerned from the first and this has made the officers be lieve that he was not the person want ed. He was very angry last night and declares that if there is a way to make the Kalamazoo authorities pny him lamages for false arrest he will resort to it. He has already consulted Mr. Herbert McClammy in regard to the matter. Mr. Cooley says he is the son of a Methodist minister and is a native of Ohio. When a mere boy he says he ran away from home and went to work on a railroad and later got into the show business. The. Sultan Trying to Satisfy France. Pari. September 6.

Mayor' Waddell told Rhoe that he did not mean to interfere with their church but that he must re member that he and his flock were not in the wilds of Africa and that if they made such a noise late at night again and such as to disturb people living in that vacinity, that the church would be closed.

Waddell on yesterday afternoon received a telegram from General Superintendent C. H. Hix, of. the Seaboard Air Line, stating that he had instructed the superintendent of this division, located at Raleigh, to give the Fourth street bridge immediate attention. This message was received in response to one sent by Mayor Wad dell to General Superintendent Hix informing him that the Fourth street bridge, which crosses their track, had been condemned by the board of al dermen and that some action must be taken towards repairing the bridge at once. The telegram further instructed that in case of accident the Seaboard Air Line would be held responsible. From Mr. Hix's telegram it would appear that immediate action will be taken and it is very important that it should for the bridge is in a dangerous condition. The bridge has not been regarded as absolutely safe in several years. Any heavy conveyance cross ing the bridge is liable to cause it to give way. TO ERECT XEW BUILDING Mr. J. M.
