'She said she was visiting in the western part of the State before Oliver Curtis Perry committed the first train rob bery, and that who received a letter from Perry, who announced that he was passing through the greatest sor row of his life and folt tempted al most beyond endurance. Miss Har well at once wrote him, tolling him to look to Cod for guidance, and be faith ful to Him. But the robbery was com mitted before he received the letter. The missionary said that she thought Perry waa tempted to commit the first train robbery In order to get money with which to reach his sweetheart, who he learned waa dying In New Mexico. Mlaa Haswell said that when Perry called for her she told him to make restitution. The next day, the rob ber sent the missionary a package of jewelry, which was at once placed in the hands of a lawyer and .returned "to'ThiTCentrnl-Hudaon Itallrbad Com pany. Miss Haswell nald that she had saved the'company thousands ot . dollars and returned -property which Perry would rather have thrown Into the river than given back to the com pany.
