A TREASURY THIEF.
Recent Reminders of a Robbery IN
Washington Twenty
Years Ago.

The Keck smuggling case, lately de
cided in favor of the defendant by the
supreme court of the United States,
presents q phase that recalls cele-
brated robbery of the treasury in Wash
ington nearly 20 years ago. In the
Keck case the diamonds are in, the pos
session of the government. AS Keck
has been acquitted of the offense of
smuggling by the highest federal court,
some good lawyers who heard the de-
cision hold he can recover possession of
the jewelry. The case in one phase re-
sembling this was the theft by a treas
ury employe in Washington of pack
age of currency containing 100000 in
$500 bills. The package was abstracted
at the noon hour, when the clerks are
allowed time to leave the building for
luncheon. The thief carried it to
nearby saloon and hid it, the keeper
of the place being supposed to stand in
with him. The loss, of course, was soon
discovered and everybody who could
have taken the package shadowed. Sus-
picion quickly settled on certain en-
ploye, who was known to freuqent the
saloon in question.
The large size of the bills gave the
conspirators trouble. Finally they sent
one of their number to Saratoga to play
the races with part of the money.
The sest-$12, ,o00-they deposited in
bank in Alexandria, Va. eight miles
down the river. The man who went
to Saratoga was of the ''tin-horn" gam
bling class. He lost his head and
played the races so badly, putting up
$500 bill every time, that the detec-
tives soon took him in. Arrests were
made, indictments found, but nobody
was convicted, for the simple reason
that the government could not prove
that the money found on the ''tin horn"
was a part of the identical money that
was stolen from the treasury. So, like
Keck, they went free. The money in
the Alexandria bank remained there
several years until finally the late
George Bliss, of New York, came to
Washington in 1882 as one of the gov
ernment counsel in the star route cases.
He was employed to recover this money.
His contention was simple. The gov
ernment could not prove its title to
the money. 1t did not belong to the
bank; it must belong to somebody;
therefore, it belonged to the person who
had deposited it. How much that per-
som got of it is not known, but Bliss was
a high-priced lawyer.-Chicago Post,

A Commercial Tince.

A little Joy street boy was taken to-

obedience was most commenda BILE, and

ing the money where it belonged he
held il before the eyes of :he officiating
collector that he might plainly see it.

the response with view to passing the
incident over without embarrassment.

"Yes, father. What was it"
