oEDAR POST LOADED WITH MONEY
90, 900 hidden There, and the Fact Revealed
when tho Thief KILLED Himself.


OMAHA, Neb, May S1.-A bundle Of crisp
bank bills was ished out of the wreck Of an old
stable in Omaha to-day by the police. 1t con-
tanned %, 900. tho exact amount Henry Thomas,
the Pacific Express Company Waterman, stole
three years ago.
The crime drove the man insane, and, brooding
over the affair, he blew out his brains on Satur-
day night, after leaving n rambling note begging
the officials not to kill him, and saying that the
"Flrst timber in my barn has the money" This
clue led to the discovery Of the large sum of
money which mysteriously disappeared from
the express company's safe several years ago.
Thomas had been suspected at first, but as he
continued TO live in o frugal manner and at
tend strictly to business, the officials finally
concluded they had done the man wrong. Thoy
were on the verge Of promoting him a year ago,
whom the employees thought they detected
evidences Of dementia. Thomas appeared brood
ing over some trouble, and the officials were wor.
Yied for fear tho man had been wronsfully &C
cused and was suffering from the humiliation.
The police were pulling down the old shack
piece BY piece when they discovered tho money.
They could not imagine what tho suicide re-
ferrcd to when he spoke of tho first timber In
the stable having the money, but when the first
piece OF wood in the barn was carefully exam
ined It proved to be a big cedar post, and in the
centre, neatly mortised and requiring much care
TO detect, the money was found.
A hole had been cut and into the recess the
money was placed and part of the block re-
placed. The express company officials took the
cash. There is no evidence that the money is
the same that was stolen, and the mother OF the
| suicide will bring suit to recover It. asserting
that 1t is her property. Local lawyers declare
that It will open a clever bit Of litigation. but
the company has the money.

demned murderers Theodore Durrant and
Salter D. Worden. Worden will be hanged
on Juno 4 for causing the train wreck
in which Engineer Clark and four Unit
