would not make the trip The would-be
kidnapper wired the unwelcome intell-
gence 10 his pal at Winchester, who told
IL to the men of the mountains, causing
those honest gentlemen to feel great dis
gust at the collapse of a scene that, if
successful, would have astounded the
world and feathered their own nests.
1T was given out thetEddie Gould was
kept at home by a sudden indispOsition.
But happen to know that he received
hint that he had better stay at home and
was smart enough to stay. How do
know / received a telegram from a de-
tective friend of mine in New York to
look out for Crook No. 2, the one who
came here, and shadow him
and learn the address of any
letters or kilograms he might send
while here. Another detective, who was
Ostensibly a drummer, followed Crook No.
l from New York to Harper's Ferry and
Winchester, shadOwing him until the
scheme collapsed, fact he knew earlier
than the crook. My detective friend in
New York got hint by. accidentally
oVerhearlng scrap Of conversa-
ton between the two cOnspirators,
whom he knew TO be crooks,
in which the words Gould, 'Harper's
Ferry mountains big Doodle were
caught. That set him to thinking, and
and as matter of precaution he
ShadOWed the men and wired me The
result was as [ have told you. When he
became convinced that such job was
actually going TO be attempted he caused
hint TO be conveyed to Gould and Eddie
was conveniently indisposed.
Yes, as | have said, the mere kidnap-
ping is easy enough. The trouble is in
hiding the victim and in securing the
ransom. it is like stealing. Anybody
can steal, but few can hide. Nothing is
easier for instance, than TO hold up and
rob stage or a train, but it is devil of
Job to get away with the booty.
The thicker the country is populated
the harder it is to escape when the
hue and cry is raised; that's why the
train and stage robberies occur in the
west and south whore the country is
thinly settled. No, do not know of
case successful kidnapping l mean by
thata case where the kidnappers received
ransom and got safely away.
