holds that freight rates from New York

lawful: that freight rates from Cincin-
Tati, Louisville. Evansville, Nashville,
and other Ohio River points, which are
higher to Tifton than TO Naldosta, a longer

unlawful; that the rates now charged on

their surprise it was accepted as quickly
and as easilt as any OF the genuine paper.
Passed to their account at the Bank of
England it Tas soon drawn out by checks
in favor of the London and Westminster
Bank, and the funds thus accumulated
here were as quickly as possible converted
into bonds and negotiable securities.
The wealth of the forgers piled up
rapidly. Some days as much as $4,000
was added to their holdings. Inside OF
two months their wealth went beyond
Sl.G00.0C0 Then they planned to leave
London. One night they got drunk, and
the next day carelessly sent TO the bank
a forged bill which was not dated. The
clerk who accepted it thought to make
good the error without troubling the
wealthy American customers by sending
the bill to the maker B. W. Bleudenstein.
for correction Then the cat was let out
of the bag. The next day, when the junior
swindler. Hills, visited the bank. he was
arrested. Another forged bill was found
in his possession. Hills was all at once
filled with yirtuous Indignation. He. him
self. had been swindled. he said. and he
wanted TO lead the officers to capture the
swindlers. The officers bit. and that gave
Hills chance to signal one of the part
there was rush of the three principals
for safety.
Escaped, But Caught.
George Macdonald escaped to New
York by a roundabout way, and was ar
rested as he stepped off the steamer.
George Bidwell eluded his pursuers in
Ireland, and lived for time as French
gentleman in poor health at Edinburgh:
and he was only arrested when letters
from him to his brother had been seized.
Austin Bidwcll escaped to Spain, and had
taken passage for Vera Cruz on a boat
that was to stop at Havana. William A.
Pinkerton made a fling overland trip from
New York. and at Cedar Keys. Fla, got
a steamer that brought him into Havana
harbor just as Bidwell was sailing in.
newly welded wife of Bidweli accom-
panied him; but he was arrested and ul-
timately sent back to England.
All four members of the gang were
given life sentences by English courts;
but wero released when they had served
eighteen years II prison. OF the money
they had secured. half of it was recovered
and returned 10 the bank. About S200,-
uO0 of this amount was discovered in a
storehouse IN New York city months af-
ter the arrest of the members of the
gang.
Such Is the story of a gigantic crime.
The shock Of the gangs operations now
lives only in memory: yet history records
no greater story of criminal cleverness
and daring. George Bidwell came to
America shortly after his release from
prison. He established a printing house
at Hartford. Conn, and has since been
steady, honest. indefatigahle worker. Now
his ideal is the respect of his feliow-men.
Austin Bidwell, now dead. WAS big, good
hearted. and of happy disposition. He
made friends wherever he went.
