BE DID NOT FOOL THE INSPECTORS.

THIRTY GOLD WATCHES FOUND IN THE POCKETS
Brown and Donohue. the Special Customs Insp~c-
tors. made a valuable haul from the North German
Lloyd steamship Saale yesterday morning. The two
detectives noticed that the pockets OF Leon Rechin
who came from Zurich with his wife and baby.
bulged rather too much for the clothing OF a we'll
clad man. and upon tnvestiga ton II found that
Reichin had twelve valuable gold watches in them.
The customs officers ascertaired that Mrs. Rechin
and her child had gone 10 Meyers Hotel the
pier and at once hurried after them. Mrs. Rcchin
readily allowed the men to search the ROOM and
they were about TO leave 1t without being rewarded.
when Tim Donohue noted the baby was kicking
rather suspiciousy upon the bed. His suspicion3
confirmed. IT Is needless to say. when he found
eighteen gold watches in the child's clothing. AL
together the capture amounted to about 5000 in
watches.
Reichn held In $500 bail by United States
Commissioner Rowe. OF Jersey City.
