GOT THEIR MONEY BACK.
Bank Thieves Make Totally Unc1
pected Restitution.

Bank Thieves Make a Totally Uncx-
pected Restitution.
London, Jan. 27.-The robbery Of over
100000 from PARIS bank in this city
on Monday last, which has been the
sensation of the week, took dramatic
turn when the chairman of the bank
announced at meeting Of the share
holders that 100000 in the biggest notes
had been returned to the bank by post.
The robbery apparently was a most
daring crime. The thief is supposed to
have walked boldly behind the counter,
where there were over 100 clerks at
work. to have opened a drawer. taking
parcel of notes and walked out of the
bank undecided.
American thieves are suspected of
having been concerned in the theft of
the notes, as it is said several Ameri
cans were noticed lettering recently
about the premises. The police are
again utterly helpless.
Thirty-six 600 notes and % E500
notes figured in the robbery. Most Of
these have now been returned. The
chairman of the bank also announced
that the Bank of England had promised
to pay the amount returned. The re-
mainder of the money was in notes Of
smaller amounts, which could be easily
passed and might therefore be constd-
cred lost
The shareholders greeted this an
nouncement with enthusiasm, especial
ly as it was accompanied by a declara
ton of a dividend of 10 per cent.

pecially at Sydney. The agents for the

A PRISONERS SCHEMES,
some New Developments In the Adj
ams- Barnet-COrnlsh Case.

NuHes
New York, Jan. 27.-One startling dis
covery now follows another in the great
poison mystery. Developments show
that the elusive monster who chose for
his victims members Of the Knicker-
booker Athletic club had a regular sys-
tenn, studied out with rare skill and
subtlety. Danger of detection was sci
entifcally reduced to a minimum.
The staggering inference that he
poisoned others besides those known
forces itself forward. 1t has just been
discovered that he was at work last
May carrying out plan of murder in
volving the rental OF a private letter
box, exactly similar to the case of III.
Cornish" at 1920 Broadway. A private
letter box in the name of H. c. Barnet
was rented in that month at 257 West
Forty-second street.
In answer to a letter signed III. c..
Barnet" to Won Mohl & Co. of Cincin-
natl sample box of pills was sent to
this address. These pills were the same
kind as a man using the name of H.
Cornish ordered from the same firm.
1t has now been discovered that the
letter signed Fl. Cornish was written on
the paper of the Crescent Athletic club
Of Brooklyn. The paper is tinted blue
and bears at the top OF the sheet the
gilt monogram of the club, crescent.
The handwriting of the letter ordering
the pills signed II. c. Barnet Is the
same as that signed H. Cornish, and
both We're written by the same person
who addressed the loison package to
Henry Cornish at the Knickerbocker
Athletic club.
The plan Of murder, as revealed by
the latest discovery, is therefore as fol-
lows:
First.-Rent private letter box In
the name of the intended victim.
Seccnd.-Write letter to the manu-
facturer of some proprietary medicine
for a sample box.
Third.-Mix cyanide Of mercury with
the medicinal powder or the contents OF
a capsule pill so that the poison cannot
be detected.
Fourth.-Wrap up the package so that
it will seem to have come straight from
the manufacturers as a sample box.
Mail the package to the victim, disguis-
ing the handwriting as much as posi-
BILE and wait to hear the news of his
death.
The Journal has offered SIS, 900 reward
for information that will lead to the
arrest and conviction of the poisoner
