Frank C. Ford, alias Frank IJvlng.ton,
hIIbb T. R. Henderson, daylight sneak
thief, midnight marauder and all-round
rook, la back In Omaha. Ford la tha nam

The police hava learned that Ma real nama
la Frank R. Henderson.
Fettered with chain, his tianda locked
securely together, and his feet manacled,
tlenoteraon and DetecUvs Henry Hetifeld
arrived In Oman last evening from Kansas
Cl'y. They did not oome unannounced, and
t'jerefore Detective J. F. Donahoe, who as
sisted Heltfeld In tracing Henderson to
"Lincoln, from thence to Topeka and then
on to Argentine, Kan., where Henderson
waa apprehended, waa at tha ITnlon station
to meet them.
Henderson terrorised Omaha In a way,
for upwards of two years. He waa tha
personification of smoothness. So smooth
ha was that It was not until after his raid
on Dr. Knaor of South Omaha on or about
November 14 last thst the local police got
a. Una On him.
Retronnectlvely - one goe hack to two
.years aRO, when a mere youth dressed In
the sliiibby garb of a tramp called at tha
photofraph gallery of 11. 8. Emory, 2t8 Six
teenth street, and asked employment. Jle
did ' not seek In vain and waa given a
chance to show his attainments In the
llna of porter work.
Starts Ills Real Career.
Two month later this eame youth may
he found In the employ of Ike Qard, ex-
pressman, and at that time hauling the
mails between the postofflce and the de
pots. Henderson, for It waa he, took up
Ills residence In the north end ot the city,
ostensibly to be In reach of his new Job,
nd ahortly after the neighborhood was set
agog by the advent of" a bold houaebreaker,
who operated between the unseemly hours
of 4 and ( o'clock In the morning, and used
In lieu of a dark lantern a candle in a
toiipot.
Suspicion did not attach to Livingston,
. fcft'he styled himself, and being a mild
mannered young man of seemingly exem
plary habits, not the least conspicuous of
which was hla desire to always retire early,
he was admitted Into 'aoclety, where his
suave mannerisms und passing good looks
inntantly won favor.
Hendersou remained in the employ of
tlard for aeveral months, and the number
if houses robbed Increased from one a
week to two, and sometimes three. Finally
"business" got to be so good that Hender
son disdained to do manual labor longer,
and quitting his Job, he waa then driving
a mull wagon lie dropped temporarily out
of sight. While he remained "out of
Bight," several houses were entered and
robbed In the extreme south end of the
tity, and here again the candle and the tea
pot played an Important part, letting the
police know that the same man was oper
ating, but in another part of the city.
A year and more had pasted and tha
. clever houaebreaker was still uncaught.
Traps were made and laid for him, but he
refused to be trapped, and Joked with
those whom he robbed, of his ability to
' avoid capture.
Last spring Henderson robbed the home
..,f. .Fred Motx, the pbllue -say, and three
days later waa an uninvited guest at the
home of William Shields, 211:4 Blnney
street, where he loft a, teapot which, he
hud taken from the Met home.
l.eaa; Mai of Hararlarlra.
Henderson's list Is a long One. The police
, aver that In the two years of his undls
, uted mastery of the situation he entered
. and robbed over sixty homes. While he
did not amass a forttinellondcrson secured
booty Sggregatlng $4,000.
. An Interesting hit of sleuth work, for
Which the credit must go Jointly to Detec
ttves Heltfeld and Donahoe and Chief Don
ahue, tegun Juki ten days ago, resulted In
Henderson's capture. A pawn shop, Dr.
Knsor's WHtih and a letter to a young
woman .at whose home he boarded Just
firlor to hla departure gave the officers the
c!ue they had been looking for for two
years. The pawn shop man described the
young fellow who put up the watch. He
was traced to tha home of Mrs. Oesner,
107 Dupont, and It la said enough informa
tion has been secured from this source to
convict Henderson without a confession.
which It Is not considered probable to
secure from ao wily a crook.
Quick to notice that hla movements were
under surveillance, Henderson left the city
and It was through the meana of the letter
written to Mary Oesner, a l-yeajr-old girl,
that he was located. Writing from Topekn,
he directed that his mall be aent to Argen
tin and It - was there he waa captured
while asking for a letter ha expected from
Omaha, '
Chief Donahue and others of the force
are Inclined to connect. Henderson with the
mysterious letters - written to Fred Mets
two months ago, threaUnlng destruction
of the brewing plant unless a certain aum
1 be left In a 'sack under the Sixth street
railroad bridge. Henderson Is known to
have made a compact with Dr. Enaor to
turn aver the doctor's watch and Jewelry
on the payment of 176, but failed to keep
his pert, while the doctor, true 'to Ms word,
paraded tip and down B street, South
Omaha, anxious only to pay the money and
secure the return of his valuables.
Henderson Is said to have a record, un
enviable In many respects, In Itah. mid
during the few days he was in Argentine
prior to his arrest he is said to have
robbed two houses and last Friday nlalit
attempted to break Jail at Kansas City
by sawing the bars ot his cell with a case
knife. During his Incarceration in the city
Jail he will be forced to partake of his
meals In primitive style, orders prohibiting
forks and knives at his mess having been
Issued.
Henderson maintains a sullen silence. He
will be closely guarded pending arraignment.
