The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1895-05-09

There were several of the larger Lon
don banks and insurance offices from
which Hewitt held a court of general
retainer as detective adviser, in fulfil
meht of which he was regularly con-
suited as to the measures to be taken in
different cases Of fraud, forgery, theft
and so forth. which 1t might be the mis-
fortune Of the particular firms to en-
counter. The more important and in
tricate of these cases were placed in his
hands entirely, with separate commits
sions, in the usual way. One of the
most important companies Of the sort
was the General Guarantee society, an
insurance corporation which, among
other risks, took those of the integrity
of secretaries. clerks and cashiers. In
the case of the cash-box elopemea1t on
the part of any person guaranteed by
the society, the directors were natural
ly anxious for a speedy capture of
the culprit, and more especially of the
booty, before too much of it was spent,
in order to tighten the claim upon their
funds, and in work of this sort Hewitt
was at times engaged, either in general
advice and directions, or in the actual
pursuit of the plunder and the plum
derer.
Arriving Iat his office a little later
than usual jone morning, Hewitt found
an urgent message awaiting him from
the General Guarantee society, request
ing his attention ITO a robbery which
had taken place on the previous day.
He had Cleaned some hint of the case

"Well I'll tell you what we've done
as yet: First. of course, went round
to all the banks. There was nothing
to be got from that The cashiers all
knew him by sight, and one was per-
sonal friend of his. He had called as
usual, said nothing in particular,
cashed his bills in the ordinary way
and finished up at the Eastern Con-
solidated bank at about lis. So far
there was nothing whatever But

the Eastern Consolidated when one Of
them came after me with news. He
had tried Palmer's tourist office, al
though that seemed an unlikely place
and there struck the track"
Had he been there?''
Not only had he been there, but he
had taken a tourist ticket to France
1t was quite a smart move in way
You see it was the sort of ticket that

trading concerns, during the morning,
but failed to return at the usual time.
A large number of the notes which he
received had been cashed at the Bank
of England before suspicion was
aroused. We understand that Detec-
tive-lnspector Plummer, of Scotland
Yard, has the case in hand"
The clerk, whose name was Charles
William Laker, had, it appeared from
the message, been guaranteed in the
usual way by the General Guarantee
society, and Hewitt's presence at the
office was at once desired, in order that
steps might quickly be taken for the
mans apprehension and the recovery
of, at any rate, as much of the booty
as possible
A smars hanson grought Hewitt to
Threadneedle street in a bare quarter

thing more than seven years-since he
left school, in faut-and until the pre-
vious day there had been nothing in
his conduct to complain of. His duties
as walk-clerk consisted in making
certain round, beginning at about 1890
each morning. There were certain

between which and Messrs. Liddles
Neal & Liddle there were daily trans
actions, and few smaller semi-prlVate
banks and merchant firms acting as
financial agents with whom there was
business intercourse of less Importance
and regularity; and each of these, as
necessary, he visited In turn. collecting
cash due on bills and other instruments
of the like nature. He carried wal
let Fastened securely to his person by
a chain, and this wallet contained the
bills and the cash. Usually, at the end
of his round, when all his bills mad been
converted into cash, the wallet held
very large sums. His work and re-
sponsibilities, in fine, were those COM
mon to walk clerks in all banks.
On the day of the robbery he had
started out as usual-possibly little
earlier than was customary-and the
bills and other securities in his possess
sion represented considerably more
than f15,OOO. 1t had been ascertained
that he had called in the usual way
at each establishment on his round and
had transacted his business at the last
place by about quarter past l, being
then, without doubt, in possession of
cash to the full value of the bills ne
gotiated. After that, Mr.. Lyster said,
yesterdays report was that nothing
more had been heard of him. But this
morning there had been a message to
of the country-to Calais, at least, it
was thought The directors of the So
ciety wished Hewitt to take the case
in hand personally and at once, with a
view of recovering what was possible
from the plunder by way of salvage;
also, of course, of finding Laker, for 1t

might be. made for Messrs. Liddle, Neal
& Liddle's, that the investigation might
be begun.
The bank premises were quite near
in Leadenhall street--and, arrived
there, Hewitt and Mr.. Lyster made
their way to the firms private rooms.
AS they were passing an outer waiting
room Hewitt noticed two women. One,
the elder, in Widows weeds, was sit
ting with her head bowed on her hand
over small writing table. Her face
was not visible but her whole attitude
was that of a person overcome with
unbearable grief; and she sobbed quiet
ly. The other was a young woman
of twenty-five or twenty-three. Her
thick black veil revealed no more than
that her features were small and regu-

lar and that her face was pale and
drawn. She stood with hand on the
elder woman's shoulder, and she
quickly turned her head away as the
two men entered.
Mr.. Neal, one of the partners, re-
ceived them in his own room. Good
morning, Mr.. Hewitt" ne said, when
Mr.. Lyster introduced the detective.
This is serious business-very. l
think l am sorrier for Laker himself
than for anybody else, ourselves in
cluded-or at any rate, 1 am sorrier
for his mother. She is waiting now to
see Mr.. Liddle as soon as he arrives
Mr.. Liddle has known the family for a
long time. Miss Shaw is with her, too,
poor girl. She is governess or some
thing of that sort, and l believe she
and Laker were engaged to be married.
It's all very sad"
inspector Plummer, l understand"
Hewitt remarked, has the affair in
hand on behalf of the police"
Yes" Mr.. Neal replied; "in fact, he's
here now, going through the contents
of Laker's desk, and so forth; he thinks
it possible Laker may have had accom-
