CRIMES

THE WELLS-FARGO MILLION DOL
LAR EXPRESB ROBBERY.
AD the plot to rob the Red
Star express on the Erie at
Port Jervis, Now York,
some twenty years ago suc
ceeded, it would have been
the greatest haul ever
made in a train hold-up.
H
That it did not succeed Is duo to the
cunning and faithfulness of an old em
ploye. A cool million in gold was the'
stake played for and so bold wero the
men who planned to take It that the
detective assigned to the case refused
to believe that the attempt actually
would be made. The story, as told
by the principal actors on each side,
Is a splendid illustration of the fact
that no matter how carefully a crime
is planned the criminal cannot take
into account all the details, the fail
ure of only one of which will lead to
detection.
808 FUREY’S STORY.
“The touch-ofT on the Red Star Ex
press? Do I recall it? Well I should
smile. That was one of the biggest
and neatest jobs ever put up in New
York. It was a hair-raiser from start
to finish. A Job like that ought to
hare been worth a million. It would
have been but for one of the unex
pected things that come around to
crooks as well as to other people.
I tumbled on the business by acci
dent one afternoon as I was going
from Washington to New York. I was
sitting in the smoker puffing away on
a bit of Havana, when a couple of
gents dropped in and took the seat
in front. I did not pay any attention
to them until I overheard them talking
about money bags and gold coin. I
picked up from their conversation that
they were agents for an express com
pany that had a contract for hauling
money for the government, and had
charge of the stuff while it was in
transit from Washington to the mint
in Philadelphia or to other eastern cit
ies.
This of itself did not specially in
terest me, but when I heard them talk
about how carelessly the coin was
handled by the agents east of Chi
cago, a territory in which the cars
were believed to be perfectly safe, I
began thinking a bit. Before I reach
ed New York I had made up my mind
to pick up a few additional facts on
this subject. If it turned out as rosy
as these fellows Indicated I would
teach some of them a lesson In the
art of performing their duty. I learn
ed from them incidentally that the
Red Star Express, on the Erie, car
ried more money than any other com
pany, and that the agents guarded
$1,000,000 about as closely as the or
dinary citizen would a nickel.
I gave these citizens a silent vote
of thanks when we parted. Imme
diately afterward I began an official
investigation. I had learned the trade
of machinist when I was a young fel
low, so the first thing I did was to
make application for a Job in the Erie
railroad repair shops in Jersey City.
While working on the car I got ac
quainted with Pop Thompson. He was
called Pop because of his general good
nature, and not because he was old. I
made myself as friendly with him as
I could. I found out where he lived
in Lafayette, N. Y., a little station up
the line a ways. I hired a room in a
boarding bouse near him. We met
very often, and he seemed to take
a fancy to me. After a while he talk
ed quite freely about his business,
though it was always about trips that
he had made and never about trips
that he was going to take.
When I got this far into the scheme
I called in Johnny Dobbs, Big Jim
Brady, Walt, Herrick and Pete Dur
and, four of the wisest crooks that
ever lived, and put them onto Pop and
his car, with the idea that one of
them would stick to him every day and
go away with him on every trip to get
the run of the business. In this way
Johnny Dobbs picked up in Chicago
that Pop had a weak side. In short,
he was leading a double life. Nothing
could have suited me better, for that
gave me a chance to pull him into the
traces.
There was no longer any use-of my
working in the shop, so I quit and
went to Chicago to wait for Pop to
turn up. It was some weeks before he
landed there, but I fixed it so that I
would meet him coming out of his
home No. 2 in Chicago, which gave
me a chance to call him down. He
was not as much surprised as I
thought he would be, and it was not
until he got ready to return home that
he suggested that it would be well to
keep quiet what I had seen.
I promised never to mention it, and
returned with Pop. It was the first
show that I had to throw out any
feelers. I gently, rather playfully,
hinted that Pop was carrying a large
amount of money for other people, and
it was a wonder to me that none of it
had ever stuck to his fingers. Pop
manifested more Interest in this talk
than I had ever hoped for. He said
he wns tired of working for nothing.
He hinted that if I could suggest any
plan to make a big roll of money he
was willing to listen. Then I gave
him the Idea, cold and plain, of hitting
a rap at the Red Star car.
Pop drank in all that I said like a
very thirsty man, agreed to meet me
the next day and give me his views.
He was on deck at the appointed time,
and promised to furnish me with the
information about the car and Its load
of coin, if I would do the rest of the
work and fix it up so nothing would
point to him. This seemed all right.
If the thing was pulled off he could
get his share t>f the boodle and quit
bis Job when he felt like it. He was

willing to make the dust, but had been
trained so long on the honest line that
he could not become a full-fledged thief
at a jump.
Pop went along In the regular way,
as it was arranged that we were not
going to make the strike until the
fall shipment of gold to Chicago. The
time was left to Pop to uelect. We
got the tip on Monday, that on the
following Wednesday night the Red
Star car would go out from the Erie
depot with the big load of shiny met
al. We fixed up everything to carry
out our trick. I had a long talk with
Pop. He was so inquisitive about all
the details of robbery, and insisted up
on knowing everything that we were
going to do before hand, that I became
suspicious of him.
One of the gang had been on his
track every day without his knowl
edge, and had never seen or heard
anything wrong, so I thought maybe
I waa not fair with Pop to doubt him.
After thinking it all over I concluded
that the safest way to deal with Pop
would be to fool him by giving him a
ghost story about the details. I told
him the train would be flagged about
five miles west of Port Jervis and
tbe safes dumped from the car. A
wagon would be In readinese to take
the safes. They would then be blown
open on tbe road. The plan was to
bury the gold In a safe place and
cart away only the greenbacks.
Wednesday night came. The car
pulled out of the depot with Pop on
,the first watch and his partner in the
sleeper. The gang were all In the
smoker. After we got In motion Pop
let us into the car. We started at
once on the big safe and had no trou
ble getting into It. Pop, of course,
did not know the combination. We
got out the small safes—there were
four of them —and they were very
heavy. Pop said the cargo was near
ly all gold and the prospect was very
bright.
A few miles this side of Port Jer-‘
vis, at a place agreed upon, and about
ten miles from where Pop had been
given to understand that the robbery
would take place, I gave the signal.
We forced the door of the car and
dumped the safes while we were go
ing at full speed. About a quarter
of a mile beyond, a red light w-as
waved in front of the engine. The
train stopped. We Jumped when the
train slacked up, and the red light dis
appeared. We put Pop to sleep in
the car with a tap on the head and
closed the door, so that nothing waa
known of the robbery until the train
reached Port Jervis. Then we had a
hustle for fair.”
DETECTIVE M’QUILLAN’S STORY.
I was sitting in my office late one
afternoon when a messenger called
and said that a detective was wanted
at the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. for
special business. When I got to the
express office I was told what seemed
to me to be a very fishy story about
an attack that was going to be made
upon the Red Star money car.
The tip that the robbery was going
to come off had been given to the
company by Ike Thompson, who went
by the name of “Pop,” one of the
best agents in the express car service,
but I thought that there must be a
mistake in it somewhere. Ills story
was that while lie was in Chicago on
one of the regular trips he went to the
house of his sister-in-law, and when
he left be was accosted by a fellow
whom he had known In Jersey City
as Luke Sanderson, one of the work
men in the Erie Railroad shops.
In some way or other Sanderson had
got the Idea that the woman Thomp
son had called upon was his wife. San
derson knew that Thompson was mar
ried and had a family in Lafayette.
N. Y., and he took pains to suggest
to Thompson that It would go very
hard with him If the company should
learn that he was not living on the
level, as he was earning hardly enough
money legitimately to run two homes.
Thompson did not stumble'’ to what
Sanderson was driving at until they
were on the way back to Jersey City,
going with an empty money car, when
Sanderson suggested that there was an
easier way to make a fortune than
working for it
Thompson is a very foxy fellow, and
determined to lead Sanderson on with
the belief that he was ready to go into
anything that would pay big money,
and he managed his part of the affair
so well that Sanderson never dropped
to the fact that he was being jollied.
I was not sent for until several
days or weeks afterward. aB Thompson
and the officials were not any too
anxious to divide the honors in the
case, as success made a big thing for
all the company’s employes who figur
ed in the case. Thompson had several
Interviews with Sanderson, and from
what he Baid had got him worked up
to a high pitch over the robbery anti
the gang were anxious to spring the
trick.
I listened to the tale, and was very
skeptical. I did not believe that any
top-notch crooks would have gone Into
such a scheme wlt/t Thompson without
first being assured that there was no
possible chance of a throw-down.
I asked for a sight of the crook, to
see if I knew hint. A meeting was ar
ranged, at which I was present, and
when I got my peepers on the bold
Sanderson my old heart gave a
thump, for I recognized him at a
glance as Bob Furey, a crook on both
sides of the ocean In some first-class
Jobs.
Thompson was to figure only as a
second fiddle in the transaction, and
was to get an even share In the swag
with the others when the money was
divided. It was not necessary for him
to have a knowledge of the details of
the plans which Furey had put un to
work off the money bagL.i he’ g > s
wanted a big boodle, and so long as
we were on to their game I suggested
that we should not give the gang the
tip until there wns really a big load
of dust on board the express car, just
to givo the gang the laugh when they
got the throw-down for losing such
a dandy bundle.
Tbe day was finally set for the rob
bery. Thompson succeeded In getting
all the details, so that It made the
work dead easy on paper. The sig
nal to hold up the train. It was ar
ranged, would be given after
Fort Jervis on the Erie railroad, which
would be the signal for us to do our
little act and la* d the gang.
The train with the Red Star car was
booked to leave the Erie depot at 6
o'clock In tlfe evening, and in the
morning I sent four men to Port Jervis
to take up a position where the red
light was to be given at night. I got
a telegram that they had luuded all
right und in tho evening, when the
train pulled out of the depot. I was
aboard with six lusty fellows, who
would rather fight than eat.
I saw Thompson before tho train
started but did not speak to him. He
indicated by a nod of the head that
their gang were on board the train in
tho front cars, und everything looked
rosy. The train pulled out on time,
and we went humping along at a live
ly rate, ns we were on the fast ex
press. I had given Instructions to my
men what to dp when we got to the
holding-up place,
I knew every foot of the ground on
the Erie, and when we got within a
few miles of Port Jervis I began to
feel juet ‘a little bit nervous. While
1 was running all the details of ihe at
tack over In my mind the train slow
ly pulled up, but did not come to a
full stop. I looked out of the win
dow, but did not see anything. In a
moment we were pushing up the bill to
Port Jervis at full speed. When we
pulled up at the little depot I jumped
off the car to take a final look at
things, and as I passed the Red Star
car I heard a moan. I listened and It
was repeated several times. I could
not understand It, but 1 felt that some
thing had gone wrong.
I did not want to make a foolish
break of any kind, so I first went to
the engineer and asked him what be
had stopped for before reaching Port
Jervis. He said that he saw a red
light swinging on the track, and
slowed up. The light had disappeared
before he got to It, and he could not
understand It. 1 knew the meaning of
It, and saw the game in a second. The
gang had fooled Thompson by giving
him a wrong description of what was
going to be done. This was verified
when I reached the Red Star car. The
lock had been broken off, and Inside
the car was Thompson, lying on his
back well done up.
He was partly conscious, and knew
enough to tell that the thieves had
fooled him, and had dumped the safes
on the track about three miles east
of Port Jervis. They had Jumped off
the train when it slowed. But if
Thompson had been fooled he had
fooled the gang also, for he had flung
the kit of tools which was to be used
to open the safes off the car, and it
was dollars to doughnuts they would
not be able to find them.
I got an engine at the depot, and In
ten minutes I was on the way back
with my men. Before reaching the
place I noticed lanterns flashing along
the track, and I ordered the engineer
to run past the lights a half mile or
so before slowing up. As we went
by the spot I saw the gang at work
carrying the safes to a w’agon. We
stopped nfter turning a curve afcd
started back on foot.
The thieves, I concluded, had dis
covered the loss of the tools, and In
stead of trying to open the safes had
decided to carry them away and break
them up at their leisure. When we
got back to the place the gang were
about ready to move and I ordered my
men to wait until they all got Into the
wagon before making the attack.
We stood in the shadow of the trees
on tbe roadside until the wagon came
up, and then I gave the signal. One
man seized the horse’s head and
turned him into a fence, and the rest
of us cov9red the gang with guns.
Two of the gang Jumped and were
shot. The others threw up their hands.
We took the whole outfit to Port
Jervis, and W'alt. Herrick died on the
way. Durand was shot in the chest,
but recovered In time for the trial.
With the conviction of Johnny Dobbs,
Jim Brady, Bob Furey and Pete Dur
and one of the most notorious gangs
of safe breakers was broken up.
Tripoli Women at Home.
There is a vivid picture of home
life in Tripoli in Mrs. Mabel Loomis
Todd’s recent volume: “Another day
I went to a house of quite different so
cial order, where a poor woman with
a crooked spine had asked to see the
foreigner. She was sewing at a little
machine low on the floor, turned by
hand, like those used by Malajs, her
knees higher than her head—but that
was apparently a favorite attitude of
both sey.es.
‘‘Flat on the floor lay an old woman
sound asleep, merely a neighbor In for
a while to take surprising means
of promoting social hilarity. But she
wore a good deal of Jewelry, was ar
tistically tattooed and, upon waking,
showed strong, short white teeth In a
friendly smile
“The poor little deformed woman
seemed pathetically glad to see us and
began to talk at orfce of the coming
eclipse, of her fear that It might in
jure her and that she should not dare
go to the roof to see It; also asking
me to use my influence to render It
as harmless as possible.”
Paradoxical.
“Jim certtalnly acted In a contrary
way when he found out that Clarissa’s
beauty he was so proud of, was half
paint and powder.”
“What did he do?”
“Why, declared he was put out when
he found he had been taken In.”
A Great Discovery.
“I tell you we live In an age of
progress.”
“How now?”
“Now some sharp has discovered
that you kin shake fleas off a dog
with a vacuum cleaner.”—

CONSTITUTIONS MIGHTY
BLOW WON A HAT
VTNKItSQ or THE OVSKKJtBK
ATE on the afternoon of August
19, one hundred years ago, Cap
tain Isaac Hull, one of Ameri
| ca’s greatest naval command
ers, won a wager of a hat from
L
Captain James Richard Dacre# of the
British navy. In addition to the hat,
the Englishman lost the first action
between frigates in the war of 1812,
and his country suffered a blow to its
pride and prestige from which It was
long In recovering. A few dayß later
the Constitution, one of the vessels
which the British commanders had
sneerlngly called the “fir-built Yankee
frigatee flying a piece of striped bunt
ing at their mast-heads," appeared off
Boston lighthouse gaily decked with
flags and proudly passed up the har
bor to tell of the capture and destruc
tion of the Guerrlere.
Only a month before this momen
tous engagement Captain Hull had
had an exciting experience with the
Guerrlere and her consortß, the Bevl
dere and Eeolus. These three vessels
piersued the Constitution for more
than 66 hours aud Captain Hull es
caped only by indomitable persever
ance and most Rkillful seamanship,
putting Into Boston for supplies.
Early In August tbe Constitution
started out again on a bunt for the
enemy, and on August 19 a sail was
sighted that proved to be a British
frigate which, from her maneuvers,
was evidently desirous of engaging.
When the vessels were three miles
apart Captain Hull sent down bis
royal yards, reefed his topsails and
sent the crew to quarters This crow
was remarkably disciplined and drill
ed at the guns, and more than that,
scarcely a man of them but had a
score to settle with the English. On
the bare backs of most of them were
tbe scars made by the lashes of the
brutal English press gangs, and many
were descendants of American sailors
who had suffered martyrdom in the
British prison ships during the Revo
lution. Hull himself kept In mind the
fact that his father died in a pest ship
from the cruel treatment he bad re
ceived-
Hull Wanted the Hat.
Soon after 4 o'clock the two fri
gates exchanged ineffectual broad
sides while maneuvering for position
and constantly drawing closer. About
6 o'clock. Hull, becoming impatient,
ordered the Constitution to be steered
directly for the enemy and rapidly
closed upon his port quarter. By the
orders of Hull the Americans now
ceased firing and made all prepara
tions for an effective broadside, reload
ing the guns carefully with round shot
and grape and training them upon the
British ship. The Englishmen were
to be seen working their guns stead
ily, and their frequent cheers were
plainly heard. What followed Is thuß
told by Edgar S Maclay In his "His
tory of the Navy” -
“As yet no order had come from the
quarter-deck of the American frigate,
and perfect quiet prevailed along her
decks as the men stood by their guns,
nearly all of them barefooted and
many striprod to the waist, ever and
anon casting inquiring glances at their
officers. At tills moment a shot
struck the Constitution's bulwarks
and threw Innumerable splinters over
the first division of the gun deck,
wounding severnl men Observing
the effect of this shot, the Englishmen
gave three cheers: but still the Amer
ican frigate remained silent Eirst
Lieutenant Morris now approached
the quarter-deck, where Captain Hull
was coolly pacing back and forth, and
said: ’The enemy has opened fire

and killed two of oar men. Shall wo
return itr ‘Not jot, air,' waa tho
responio from tho quarter-deck, and
the men saw their mutilated ohlp
mateo hurried below to the surgeon's
table, while they stood silently at
their guns in momentary expectation
of meeting a similar fate. Nothing
but the perfect discipline in the Amer
ican frigate restrained tho impatlenco
of the gun crews and prevented them
from returning the Englishman's can
nonading Three times Lieutenant
Morris asked if he could open Ore, and
three times he was answered with a
calm 'Not yet, sir.’
‘‘But at last, having gained a posi
tion about 40 yards off the enemy’s
port quarter, Captain Hull gave the
order to Are as the guns bore. In an
instant the frigate belched forth a
storm of iron hail that carried death
I and destruction into the opposing
ship. The splinters were seen to fly
over the British frigate like a cloud,
some of them reaching as high as the
mizzen-top, while the cheers of her
men abruptly ceased and the shrieks
and groans of the wounded were
beard. The Americans had. struck
their first earnest blow, and it was a
staggering one. The Englishman felt
its full weight, and perhaps for tho
first time realized that this waa no
child's play.”
British Vessel Shattered.
Serving their guns with extraor
dinary rapidity and accuracy, the
Americans inflicted great damage on
the Guerriere’s hull and rigging, and
a round shot brought down the Eng
lishman's mizzenmast. This brought
the Guerrlere up Into the wind and the
Constitution got in two raking broad
sides. The vessels came together
with the Englishman's Jib boom ex
tending across the Constitution s
quarter deck. Both crews prepared
for boarding, but the rolling of the
ships prevented this. Meanwhile the
sharpshooters in the tops were work
ing with energy and several officers
and many men on both sides were
killed or wounded. Captain Hull
stepped upon a chest to lead the board
ers. but a seaman pulled him down, beg
ging him not to so expose himself
while wearing "those swabs." re

The frigates now fell apart, and in
dropping astern tho Guerriere’s bow

her forestays were slackened and her
foremast went by the side, falling
across the main stays. This brought
down the mainmar.t and the vessel fell
into the trough of the sea. a complete
wreck, at each wave rolling the main
deck guns in the water.
Caputain Hull, seeing that the en
emy was done for. drew off to repair
damages so that he should not be
caught by any other British vessel
that might come along, and returning
later, sent Lieutenant Hoad to take
possession Captain Dacres reluct

motion picture theaters, Individuals,
and others, will be engaged In the
work. Before the sale is completed.
It Is expected that at least 100,000,000
seals will have been printed and dis

advertising literature.
TWO CARBUNCLES ON NECK
Veterans' Home, Napa Co., Cal. —"I
was afflicted with two carbuncles on
the back of my neck. The doctors said
they were the largest carbuncles he
ever shw. I suffered the most intense
agony, so much that I could not rest
or sleep for about a month. One was
lanced four times. When the first be
gan to get better another broke out
and was equally as painful as the first
one. I heard of Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment being good for such things,
so I procured a box of Cutlcura Oint
ment and a cake of Cutlcura Soap. I
washed both the carbuncles with Cut!-
cura Soap frequently whenever any
pus began to gather, and applied the
Cutlcura Ointment. I felt relief after
tho first use of Cutlcura Soap and
Ointment, and In a week’s time both
carbuncles w’ere gone and I was com
pletely cured. I have not been trou
bled since.
“I also had eczema of the scalp. My
scalp Itched fearfully and pimples be
gan to break out which emitted pus,
and my head became sore and scaly.
I had dandruff also. I used Cutlcura
Soap for a shampoo with hot water,
and used the Cutlcura Ointment on my
scalp, and it afforded Instant relief, fol
lowed by absolute cure." (Signed)

New Idea for Dressmakers.
A New York woman has inaugurat
ed a new departure. She sent word
to a number of dressmakers that she
had so many dresses to ‘make, of such
and such materials, and so many oth
ers to be altered, and named the al
terations to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid, and this seems to open up
a new field in dressmaking. It will
also develop a new variety of shrewd
-ess on the part of successful dress
makers —the ability to figure on bids.
Not So Bad.
"I don’t see how you can find life
worth living in such a small town.”
"Oh, It’s not so bad. We probably
have just as many scandals here as
there are in your neighborhood."
