RANDOLPH, UTAH mm Mmi "I t A rr lrue Detective Stories THE FINAL DETAIL AAKY GRAHAM BONNER coruMMT - wwh mwtt umom I- Coprrlght by The Wheeler Syndicate, Ino. annals of crime disclose a MOTHER THE large percentage of cases In which the criminal, having spent months or even years In building up the superstructure of his scheme, makes a fatal blunder In connection with some apparently unimdetail a blunder which portant wrecks his entire plan and brings his operations to the attention of the authorities. For example, the chances were more than a thousand to one that .William Brockway, counterfeiter, being desirous of securing a proof of a plate on which he was working, would select a printer who was not a personal friend of a prominent detective. But chance, which so often plays a leading role even In true detective stories, directed him to a man who knew A. L. Drummond, of the United States Secret Service, well enough to call him by his first name. ' This man came Into my place yesterday afternoon, reported the printer, and wanted some proofs pulled of a plate which he had with him, 1 took one look at the plate and ' told him to come back today said my machinery was out of order. He didnt leave the plate, but he. didnt have to. I saw what it was the .figure $1,000, surrounded by a lot of scroll work. If he returns today, directed Drummond, pull his proofs for him and hold one of them for me. A couple of my tnen will be outside your shop, so signal them and they will follow your customer, The plan worked according to schedule and, shortly after receiving a proof of the mysterious plate, Drummond got word from ills operatives that they had trailed the suspect to n house on Greenwich street. In addition, one of the government agents had recognized him as Wil'iam F. Brockway known to be the most expert counterfeiter In the country and llie man who had achieved fame by manufacturing $100,000 worth of bonds which the Treasury department had accepted as genuine only to reverse its opinion some weeks later. Drummond accordingly made a report of the entire matter to Washington, and forwarded a proof of the plate which Brockway had in his possession. To his amazement, the treasury officials stated that the figures and the scroll did not form a part of any government currency or bond issue and that, as federal funds could not be used except in the search for counterfeiters of money or government bonds, Drummond eould not bo permitted to handle the case. Accordingly, all the data was tur t d over to tlie New York police, and Brockway dropped cut of sight for nearly a year, until a rumor was passed along from Washington that the master counterfeiter was working on some coup which would be the biggest of ids career. Drummond knew where to find Brockway, but the secret service men had to work under a . handicap, because the appeared to hnye an uucanny way of knowing just when he w?s being followed. Then he would slip and twist and turn and lose himself, no matter how many men were trailing, .him, As a last resort Drummond enlisted the services of his son, a boy of ten, whom he sent to the elevated station at 'Twenty-eight- h and Sixth avc.nue,-witinstruction to play around there until he received a signal from two of the operatives. Brcckway, not dreaming that the secret service had begun to use children as detectives, was unsuspicious and tlie boy followed him until he entered the St. James, hotel, at the corner of Twenty-sixt- h and Broadway. With that much of the trail already blazed, it was easy to pick up the rest, and within a few days Drummond was notified that the counterfeiter divided his time between the St. James and a house on Lexington avenue: Ills associates were two men of about his own age, men whom Drummond recognized as Lewis Martin and Nathan Foster, both of them proficient in all branches of the work connected with vhe manufacture and passing of counterfeit money. But even then Chlqf Brookes of the secret service, declined to allow Drum-r'f-ri.to handle the case officially, because all the Indications pointed to a plot to counterfeit railroad bonds, rather than United States currency. It was only when Inspector Byrnes rf the New York police force, asked permission to use. Drummond as a , private agent that Washington permitted him to continue with the case. $1,000 Us'ng the proof of the scroll" as a foundation, Drummond searched through all the prominent bond Issues listed on Wall street, until be found Its counterpart the central portion of the bonds of the Central ' Pacific railroad. Armed with this information, which was essential to the of a definite and specific warraut, Drummond raided the house on Lexington avenue and Martin room at the St. James hotel. There In addition to dies, seals and tracing counter.paper, he found feit 51,000 Central Pacifls bonds, all were so perfectly executed s of which that one of the officers of the com-- ; pany said he would not have had the .. least hesitation of cashing the coupons.

For years the quiet campaign of with the alien government of India succeeded without thought of force. Millions obeyed the injunction ; it was a taboo against the British. It was rather- - effective. The British government sought to stem the quiet tide by granting a liberal measure of home rule to India. Quite recently It dispatched the heir to the British throne to India to take the minds of the people off the Gandhi boycott. During the excitement of the reception to the prince of Wales in Bombay the Gandhi followers for the moment forgot the injunction of their leader and took to force, created disturbances, , brought about the shedding of blood. Gandhi then issued a proclamation to Moslems and Hindus alike, requiring them to do penance and make reparation for their violence.
