Riches does not exempt from trouble
as has been exemplifed in many case
and few days ago especially in an at
tempt to blackmail Jay Gould by man
named ]. Howard Wells who threatened
in an anonymous letter to kill him in six
days, saying that it was Il public necessity
for the community at large, and declaring
that the Lord would protect him from
harm in doing it. His capture was one of
the cleverest bits Of police work that has
been accomplished in a long time. 1t
having been observed that all the letters
from the blackiA4iier passed through Sta
fion E, Inspector Byrnes secured from
Postmaster Pearson the services Of fifty
ietter-carriers for OH. day, and every let
Ier-OCX IL tLC district was watched by one
ietteT-carrier and one detective, both in
citizens dress. When any person deposi-
ted letter in the box, the carrier instantly
opened the box, and it was arranged that
u the letter was one addressed to Jay
Gould, the carrier should raise his hat as a
signal to the officer, who was meantime
to keep the person in view. By this
clever device the bird was finally caught,
and is likely to learn that the way of the
hlackmailer is hard.
