shercline's story OF Robbery by Threats
of yitriol Throwing.

Frank Shercliffe, alias Frank Anderson,
alias kid" Mccoy. alias James Burk, alias
Edward Wilson, who is now serving q
sentence of seventeen years in the Indiana
penitentiary for robbing w. G. Pollock. a
New York jewelry drummer. of $1,000
worth OF Diamonds near Logan, Ia. last
summer. and who is wanted in this city
for burglary and in Tacoma for robbiug a
faro bank. told story during his brief
career IN this city last spring which shows
that criminals sometimes perform such
feats of daring that the police doubt their
victims sanity when informed of the
facts. Once in a while Shercliffe, or An
derson. as he was called here. became
laxative, presumably under the influence
of liquor, for a drunken crook is no wiser
with his tongue than ordinary beings. One
evening he told the following story of his
bold operations in Denver:
Anderson was hard pressed for money,
and in looking over the catalogue of new
moves concluded to rob the proprietress OF
q weil-known Denver bagnio, who was
known to have fine diamonds and plenty
OF ready cash. To aid him in his work he
got two boon companions, who were to
obey his orders. Then. having decided on
his line of action, he and his party went
to the house. II was after the lights had
been put out and everybody was in bed
The doorbell, however. was answered by
the iandlady herself. who asked Shercliffe
what he wanted. The latter replied with
his usual self-possession that he had 1.-TWO
wine parties" They were allowed TO en-
ter and the instant the door was locked
Shercliffe showed his hand. Taking a
bottle of vitriol from his pocket, he held
IL before the frightened woman's
eyes and told her TO keep quiet or
he would spoil her beauty. She obeysd,
and, when lac ordered her to follow him into
the parlor. complied with his demand
without murmur. Then one by one the
women in the house were brought down
stairs into the room and held quiet by the
dreaded bottle OF vitrioi. When the party
numbered all in the house Shercliffs told
one OF his subordinates TO guard the
women with their revolyers while he at
tended to business. The dreaded bottle of
vitriol was again called into play and the
landiady followed Sheroiiife upstairs to
the safe IN which she kept her vAInables.
IL am desperate" he said, land want
your money and diamonds. | don't care
what happens. If set killed in this affair
You will die also.
The woman preferred 10 live and uu-
locked the safe. allowing him 20 take 81. 100
