A New York attorno) sent an obsceno letter through the mall lo a )oung lad). Sho showed It to htr husband, baldly nu clei standing Its contents, vvhieh were vile be')otul description. The motive of the letter seemed lnepllcable; but, of course. It Is liuielli possible to compteliend th'. mental and mornl processes of a person capable of smh an outrage Certain points ot evidence led the husband to ll the le sponslbll'ty iiiun the right man. He called on the nttotmv and licensed him to his face. '1 be interview took place In tho private olllce of the luvvver. The latei boldly admitted that he had written the letter, at the same time dleplnvlng a revulvet for the putpose of Intimidating his visitor. He not onl) acknowledged his guilt, but nc tunlly taunted the enraged husband with his Impotence to ecmc 10 elress.

The ttansmltter ot the telephone was bidden in the top or a silk hat, which was Intended to bo vvoin bv the husband It cost c.ulte a sum of money to produce this original contriv ance, but expense was not considered an object. Now, the theory accepted by students of crime to-day Is thnt the deliberate olffiuler against law and social ethle s i morally abnormal Such a pel son Is In a. sensu as much deformed as a humpback. Certainly this nttnrno) was nn example of moral abnormallt) ; for he evinced n willingness and even a desire to be lute rv ltvved bv the offended husband on the snbjec t irf the out tage vvhieh he had committed. All that he tequlred was that the Inteivlevvs should be conducted In bis private olllce, while theie could be no wltnisses. It was this weak ness of his that destroyed him. How loull ii- know that his victim, com ing to see him one lino morning had the tt.insniltte r ot a mlnlatmc telephone i on eenled In his high bat and a little battery In his w-nlsteoat pocket" Why should he have Imagined thnt this apparatus was connected with nn almost Invisible Insn late d gold vvlte which hud been noiselessly unreeled when the Injured husband enteml the ntlvnte olllce'' How was It to be eon- e el ed that a poslolllce eletcctlve was at the otnet enu oi tne wne m tne ouiei niucc.

It added some lie vv features o tin old fraud, Lot to! s and circulars wire scaled, niblresscd niiii stumped, but. Instead of eleposltlng them in the mulls, the swindlers them-" solves canceled the stamps with bogus post marks, after which the envelopes were cut or torn open. This gave the letters tho nppearnnce of having been regularly mailed, received nnd opened by the ad dressees. The Idlers were then dropped about lit cities and smnll towns, vvhero they would be likely to be picked up by prospective: victims. A person Uniting one of these letters would! naturally Infer that it hod been re ceived, opened nnd lot by the nddiessec. It was Intended thnt thu Under should then avail lilmelf of the opportunlt)- to obtain for a small price counterfeit mono) print ed from stolen government plntes and indis tinguishable from the genuine. One ad vnnlnge ot this Idea was that It did not render the operators nmennble for viola tion ot the postal laws. However, the sub sequent correspondence with the victims was catried on through the malls. While thojo gentr) were under Investi gation In California two other gangs be gan operations on the great Western prairies. One of the boldest of these com posed several old offenders with records of time served In various prisons They estiildlshed themselves at Hillsdale. Mich , nnd nt once began tho distribution of their literature thioughoiit that portion or tho country. The postotllce detectives assigned to the dut) of bringing them to Justice realled fiom the outset that they had to deal with desperate men. The lender, a man named Treadvvell, had boasted that he nevir would ugaln be taken alive Nov el theless, the detectives managed to corner him, and when he found himself confront! d with the muzles of several tevolvers he decided to mii render. Hvldence ngnlnst lli t and his associates wns complete, nnd In Juno last they were convicted nnd sent to Jail. The capttue of the Chicago gang was quite n picturesque episode. One of tho postotllce detectives personated a farmer irom row a. Having aciopieu a suitume uis guin' When one ot the sh npeis demanded to know what kind of farming ho was en gageel In he meekly replied, "Mostly hogs" This answer nlli)ed all suspicion, nnd when the farmer displayed a wallet well Idled with f-'O bills, which he modestly declared were "all genuine siuff," the swin dleis called him "I'ncle" and consented to humor him In one or two matte! s In which the low a granger with a speculative turn of mind had manifested some stubborn- lles-. As quickly as the samples of the "goods" were pioduced, "I'nclo" Incked'tovvard the eloor, and, Instantly ill nvlng his revolvei, warned tho sharpeis not to resist air st, as he was a government olllc or Assistance was at hand, nnd. Instead of delivering up good monev for bundles of sawdust, tho detective man hod the criminals to prison. When the) weie searched. S.'.eOO In good cash was tounel upon them. The money was In new, cilsp bills, being nn Important put of the stoik In trade of the green goods operators, Counterfeltf rs have plied their vocation tor many ecnturlis nnd In many forms but never until the last )eur have the) dl rected their attention to the manufacture, of spurious po-tagi stamps. It will be re membered that last spilng quite a sensa tion was caused by the discover) of a con splrac) foi Hooding the I'nlted .states with bogus stamps. The scheme was operated from Chicago and the adjacent Canadian teirltot.v. The hiadqiinrtcis of the ent-r- prlso was at Hamilton, Ontario and It tlguieel under the head of tho Canadian Novelty and Supply Company A lvertl.e meuts weie Insetted lu various newspapers, stating that the company ha 1 receive! huge quantities of stamp- in p.i)inent for their novelties, vvhieh the) eleslie 1 to ells posc of at a great discount In ordei to eon vert them Into mono) Tin stumps vv Te el. 1 in d to be In iood condition an I were olfcied at a iite of $11f. vvotth for $1W.
