FIFTY MILLIONS OF SILVER BAGS AND BOXES.

from which the robbery was made

bars were piled up crosswise like rail
road ties, and they wero arranged, es
usual, in q series OF melts. When we
put The gold in the vaults we put each
melt by itself. Each gold brick hos its
number, and it is marked as to the
melt TO which it belongs, SO we can
tell Just exactly how many pieces OF
gold there are in vault, just where
each piece is and just what it weighs.
This bullion was weighed twice before
it was put in. There were about
twenty-five tons OF it. superintend'
ed the weighing. I helped to seal the
doors OF the vault when we were
through and saw that everything was
secured. From time to time the vault
was inspected, but the seals were in
tact, and no one had any idea but that
the gold was all there. About two
years ago Secretary Carlisle gave
orders that this bullion be coined.
The vault was opened and more than
400 pounds of gold were missing. We
had little trouble in detecting the
thief. Cochran had been much excited
when told him of the intention to
coin the bullion.
"He objected, and said the gold was
so nicely piled up, and was such beau
tiful sight to show to visitors, that the
Government had better bring some OF
it's bullion from New York and coin it.
l laughed at this, the Cochran then
insinuated that the gold might not be
all there. When he found that we
really intended to coin the gold. he
came over to Washington to see me.
thinking there might be yet chance
to stop it. He called nt my house here
at IL O'Clock one night, and asked if ii
was really true that the Government
was going to take the gold out of that
vault. 1 replied, yes. he then said
well, you won't find ali the gold
there. Some of it is missing. 1t was
never rightly weighed, and it is not
there 1t was at this time that 1 be-
gan to suspect him, ant said to my
self. We'll, if any of that gold is lost,
1 think you know where it is. A day
or SO after this we opened the vault.
and we found the gold was just $ll3,
600 short. Still, the seals were in
tact. The steel walls OF the vault were
unbroken. and. there was no sign as tc
where the gold had gone. Cochran
seemed very nervous, and upon finding
that he was suspected, he confessed
ha was the thief. Hc showed how he
had fished the gold out with crooked
wire. He would pull it down from
the pile and drag it to the door of th'
vault, and then by slightly pushin:
the door at the bottom he was able t.
get it out through tho crack between
the door and the floor. He hal cur
ried it off, bar by bar, in his luncl
basket, or in his trouse RS pocket, nn'
had taken it to his home in the subu1 b
, of Philadelphia.
"What did be do with the gold?"

Negus with the theft. Negus was
called up. He confessed, and stated
that he had stolen S10,6 worth of
gold dust. AS you may see from the
letters hero in the records OF the de-
partment, the treasury officials be-
liered his confession, but they did not
think lie should be arrested, as he had
madc restitution. He was allowed to
go free. Within few weeks he sailed
FOR Europe, and that was tho last that
was ever heard of him. There was no
cable in those days, and the probabil-
ity is that he carried goodly amount
of gold away with him. The robbery
was not from the treasury, but from
the banks who sent in the gold, and
there WAS no wsy OF telling just how
much he stole.
cit was in this way that henry s.
Cochran became weigh clerk OF the
mint" Director Preston went on.
"He took the place of thief, and
there is no telling how soon he became
thief himself. He told me that he
did not steal anything from the mint
until after the deposit of that SIG, ,O0O,-
600 in gold bars; but his connection
with the mint lasted for more than
forty years and his position was the
same as that OF Negus. During his
whole term of employment he had the
confidence OF every one. l have
letter here, signed by Daniel Stur-
geon, who was treasurer OF The United
States when he was appointed. 1t is
he who advises the appointment, and
he describes Henry s. Cochran as
honest, able and courteous. Cochran
seemed to be crazy for gold. He fell
in love with the precious metal, and
when we found that he had robbed the
mint OF $113, 900 lie hated to give up
his stealings and he complained
bitterly when the money found in his
house was taken away. When he was
appointed weigh clerk he was about
twenty three years old. When his
robbery was discovered he was sixty
three. He was then deacon in the
Presbyterian Church, and was organ
izing a campaign for the Salvation
Amy in the neighborhood in which
he lived. He had been married and
divorced. He had grown-up daugh-
ter. he appeared to be eminently
respectable in every way and still he
had been stealing for years. "
"How did you come to suspect him
OF the robberyf" I asked.
SIT was through his OWE actions, "
replied the director of the mint. "He
had, fyou know, the charge of the
vaults which contained the gold bull
lon. Much of this bullion had been
untouched for years. In the vault

of it's beauty. 1t was filled with pansies.
and the ground abont it was covered
with rose bushes and geraniums. They
had dug about two feet down into this
bed when they found o big earthen
pot which was covered at the top with
melted wax. Breaking this, they dis
covered saucer beneath it, and under
this there were seven cones Of yellow
gold, worth, all told, about $4,000.
They took this to Smith, and he at
once confessed. BE had stolen about
$4,000 in less than three years.
He had taken the gold from the
separating tanks by means OF
spoon. The bullion was
placed in such tanks and
treated with ncid and water to remove
the silver. By the action of the acid,
the gold fell to the bottom in tho
shape of FIRE black precipitate, and
the silver solution was washed away.
Tho tanks were covered and locked at
night, but there wns hole In the
bottom of them in which hose was
inserted for the washing of the pre-
cipitate. Tho watchman unscrcwed
the hose, and then, by means OF
spoon, ,ladlel out few spoonfuls day
and took them home. Each spoonful
was worth about $50, and he laid the
precipitate aside until he could buy
furnace and crucibles. With these he
turned tho black powder into yellow
gold by melting it, and he sod the
product to the bullion dealers Oh San

asked.

stole bars to The value OF S113, 600
from the gold vault, stealing it bar by
bar from stack of sixteen million
dollars worth OF gold bullion, which
was there stored away. Mr.. Preston
was one of the officials who superin-
tended the putting away of that bull
lion, and he was acting director of the
mint at the time that Cochran's theft
was discovered. The first steal in the
Philadelphia mint occurred forty three
years ago, just before Mr.. Preston en-
tered the Government service, and,
curiously enough, this theft was de-
tected by Cochran, who was an under
clerk of the robber, and who by ex-
posing his superior got the place OF
weigh clerk, which he held for forty
years, and in which he was at the time
his own great robbery occurred. Dur
ing the investigation at Philadelphia
the thief, Cochran, told MIR. Preston
the story, and Mr.. Preston repeated it
to me to-day.

the banks of the different cities to

Negus had the handling OF this treas.

a systematic stealing from the differ

ness to take charge of them. weigh
them and put them into the vault until
they could be melted. By taking o
nugget or pinch OF dust from each
deposit he was able to steal Thousands
OF dollars, and he probably carried On
his stealings during the whole OF the
four years that he was in tue employ
