Then there was Chamberlain, the New
Haven murderer. He was alert. keen and
audaclous: and Taylor, who was also from
New Haven. The latter looked like the

all that.
''Forgers as rule are clever, weil-ap-
pearlng men, often of good education and
excellent engravers. George Engels. the
two Bidwells and Mcdonald went to Eng
land In 1871 with the intention of carrying
out gigantic forgeries on an elaborate
scale. They began operations in Liverpool,
where they obtained &c, 900. With this
capital they proceeded to London and
opened banking business and commits

shaving OF commercial paper. Mcdonald

business for time, but women with

is dead now. Charles Becker was an
other noted forger. He was very clever
engrayer, but he got in with Engels,
George Wilkes and other celebrated forgers
and counterseiters. and soon became their
mos, valuable ally. He first came into
notoriety through connection with the
robbery of the Third National bank of
Baltimore, in 1872. He fled to Europe
with "Littls Joe" Elliott, where they
met Joe Chapman. Ivan Siscovitch
and others, and at once started in
To Hood Turkey with forged sight drafts.
All hands were arrested and sentenced TO
three years each in prison at Smyrna.
Becker, Elliott and the Russian made
their escape and went to London, where
they lived a while with Joe Chapman's

in 1877, and is very good. Forgers
usually get off easier than any class of
guilt on the right party. You cannot tell
much about an educated rogue from his
face. Some of the most dangerous crimi-
nails look like clergymen. The low cum
ming of some specially degraded brute will
oftentimes thwart a detective, who will
know how to guard against the more in
telligent methods Of educated criminals.

thief in attempting to appear perfectly
easy and assured will over act and give

AcCoy. old Bill Meagher, Fairy" Mcclure,
and, in fact. all the best men in the pro-
lesion. He has been engaged in almost
I'll the important bank robberies which
have occurred in this country during the
past quarter Of a century. He was impii-
nted in the robbery of the Dexter bank, of
Maine. and the murder of the cashier. He
eraped from state prison at Weatherfeld,
Conn.,, but was rearrested in Philadelphia

The Manhattan Savings Institution of

daring and desperate thieves in America,
and who has served q fifteen years sem
tsnce in Bangor, Ne, also term in Clin-
ton prison. in this state. He was a slip
perry fellow and managed to slide out of
several very tight places. He was arrested
IN lssl in front of No. SIS Nassau street.
An officer discovered burglars at
work in the store, and while looking in the
window was approached by Mcclure. who
oessn talking loudly, thereby giving the
men on the inside n chance TO escape. He
vas arrested for various oiienses. but man.

Few Americans are expert with their

THE MILLS BUILDING.
Statesmen, Railroad Magnates

RICH MEN GROWING RICHER.
Grover Cleveland, william C. whitney.
Henry Willard Among the Tenants.

NEW YORK. Sept. Especial Core
spondence. There are more celebrities in
the great Mills building on Broad street,
opposite the New York Stock Exchange,
than in any other building in New York.
IL Is nine-story structure, with en-
frances on Broad and Wall streets and Ex-
change place, and has a population of a
good-slzed town. 1t numbers two possible
presidential candidates, one ex-president
OF the United States, one ex-cabinet officer
under Cleveland, the secretary of the navy
In Harrison's cabinet, one of the most re-
markable of the presidential private secre-
taries. famous orator and former secre-
tary to General Grant. former reporter,
now millionaire, lightning members of
the stock exchange and fnanciers worth
from five to fifty million dollars, including
Darius o. Mills, the father-in-l law of White
law Reid, the Republican candidate for
vice president. The lives of these men
would fill volumes. Glance at them briefly
at random.
William c. Whitney. secretary of the
navy in Mr.. Cleveland's cabinet, has offices
on the fourth story, being identified with
the metropolitan Traction Company. He
is also interested in the Standard Oil Com.
pany. the New York Loan and Improve
ment Company. the New York Life In.
surance Company and various railroad
corporations. He is. withai. so well known
it is impossible to say anything new about
him.
Henry Willard is another distinguished
tenant of this building. He used to be a
reporter and has persuasive tongue. He
is disliked by men who have not the wealth
that calls forth his eloquence. Berlin
bankers are said. moreover, to be getting
a little tired of the man of talk rather than
deeds. He is of the build of Mirabeau,
with some of his magnetism. Then there
are the Wormsers and the Seligmans, with
Semitic genius for monetary accumulation.

been brought down to a system in France.

because the kick was first used in settling

INTO the ethics of crime without end. You
must always consider the motive of crime.
Burglars. You must remember, have
Ivays one motive, the wrongful acquisi-

Burglars as q rule will not commit MUIR
