Captain Picket SAID that what Re
knew of the progr IS of the Central-Oilce
detectives led him to believe that they
had done their best. and had accom-
plished but little lie had talked with
several. and none had suggested the
theory OF an inside job Their efforts
appeared 10 be devoted to the unravel-
ling Of the smavtest professional robbery
on record His own men, the Captain
said. had not been idle, but they had
furnished no Information Of importance.

terized by an equal amount OF holiness.
