THE DUPONT TRIALS RECALLED.

Big Piece of work.


Clarks and Gibbons, Has Done Another
Big Piece of work.
Asa G Gurney, cashier of the money
order division of the American Express
Agency. at New Orleans, has been de-
tected in the theft of $22 500 sent from
New York last October. The story
is Of local interest because the guilt of
Gurney was established by David n.
Carvalho, who played such a prominent
part IN the trial and conviction Of the
Clarks and William J. Gibbons. the Dq.
Pont barn burners and conspiratOrs. who
are now doing time in New Castle Jail.
IL will be remembered that a threaten.
ing letter was sent to the DuPonts IL
was put in the hands Of the Wilkinson
Detective Agency, which, In turn, OBJ
tanned specimens of the writing of Joe
Clark and took them to Carvalho. the
expert. He photographed and enlarged
the letter and specimens, put them side
by side on canvas; and convinced the
jury, beyond a doubt, that Joe Clark
mad written the letter. Carvalho was
on the stand here for several hours, and
counsel for the defense subjected him
to rigid cross-examinRtion
The express package in question, con
tanning $4,000, left New York October
IL 1t reached New Orleans the evening
OF October IA. Gurney, in his official
capacity, tore open the envelope in the
presence Of another officer of the com
pany, opened the safe, glanced at the
contents, and remarked: This package
is in - bad order" He locked up the
envelope in the ee safe. He was
left alone in the Off ce; arrived there
late the following morning, and when
the money was counted the loss was
discovered
Then began long, searching investi-
CATION by the express company.
In despair, the officials called in Mr..
Carvalho an expert in handwriting, to
solve the mystery, which horde of de.
tectives mad failed to do he directed
all his attention upon the envelope con-
tanning the safe key, aud which bad evil
IDENTIFY been opened and resealed by the
thief. Upon the middle seal was found
the faint impress Of a thumb nail
Here was what proved tue vital clue
on a hitherto untried line. The expert
obtained, without explaining his purpose,
wax impress of the thumb nail of each
express official who handled the envelope
Oh the eventful trip These were en-
larged by photographing, and then com
pared with that on the envelope seal.
One and only one corresponded entirely
with it. That was the impress Of the
thumb nail Of Asa a. Gurney
This was apparently proof enough, but
others were multiplied from it. In four
distinct ways the robbery was fixed upon
Gurney from this envelope, with it's
wax seals, and the conviction Of the
thief, who was hitherto one Of the com
pany's most trusted employees, is a fore
gone conclusion.
