Cinnamon Used ms Detectives.

Several Cinnamon were furnished
with money and sent on to buy their
way through the official Gordon. This
was accomplished without difficulty,
the price demanded being from $50 to
5000. The secret service men also ar
ranged with one or two employees
whose honesty had been tested TO go
into the collectors office at a certain
time and demand a share of the money
beng received from Cinnamon and TO
be admitted into the combination, so
that they might get their share of the
proceeds of future deals. This was re-
luctantly agreed TO and considerable
sums of money were handed over in
the presence and full hearing Of a Sc
cret service man who had previously
secreted himself in a nearby office
closet. The officials soon found that
Cinnamon who presented certificate
marked with the letter \ were allowed
70 proceed without question, while
those having certificates that did not
bear this cabalistic mark were turned
back without ceremony.
