found beside the safe. Some of the stolen
money belonged to the Old Ladies' home
fund.

the entrance to tbe academy. It would be
possible for a man to get from this build
ing to the oince.

tunuing up St. Francis street about 12 40
this afternoon. The stranger inquired
when the first train left for Boston and
was informed it went about two o'clock.
He asked if there was no other train leav
ing before then as he was ia a great hurry
to reach B isUm. He was told be oould
