PinkertOn Tells How GainSbO-
 rOughPainting Was Recovered
T WAS MISSING 25 YEARS
Painting Was Cut From Frame, Car ried on Board Worth's Yacht, Then to Paris and Fi-
 naIIy to Chicago.

Chicago, February 6. Adam Worth, alias Henry J. Raymond and known as the Napoleon of Crime" is dead in Lon don, and with the announcement of his death today all the details of the recov- cry of the celebrated Gainsborough pointing were made public in Chicago.
 When the famous picture was restored to it's owner in Chicago last April there were many surnises as to the medium of it's return William A. Pinkerton, who made the form a! announcement of tho recovery of the painting refused to con firm or deny any of the stories. Now that Worth Is dead MT. Pinkerton can speak Worth gave him written permis sion to reveal the Gainsborough secret after he had died.
 Wrapped In olcloth, the canvas was handed over to c. Moreland Agnew one morning last April in Chicago by Worth, who twenty-five years before had cut the painting from it's frame in the Az new galleries in London.
 Retained in Private Office.
 The return of the painting took place in MT. Plnkertons private office. The owner of the picture hurried back to London for fear the United States au- thorities would demand a custom duty on the work which had been secreted in this country for fifteen years.
 It was while in London that Worth conceived the idea of carrying off the Gansborough picture. His first plan was to rob the Royal Academy of its art treasures. Then he changed his mind and directed his attention to the Gains borough painting. Assisted by his part ner, he climbed into the Agnew galleries one night. cut the painting from it's can vas and carried 1t away.
 Worth owned steam yacht and the canvas was taken aboard and concealed there until he sold the vessel to Lord Lonsdale. Then he took the picture to Paris and finally brought it to America, where it was concealed for fifteen years In the meatime Worth was arrested in Brussels and forced to serve seven years.
 Knew Him Thirty Years.
 Mir Pinkerton had known Worth for thirty years. Two years ago MT. Pink erton received a telegram telling him that an important letter was at his home The letter was from Worth, who asked an interview. This was granted and Worth said he was going to die and want ed to turn up the Gainsborough pie ture in order that his two children. who had been educated in a convent, might enjoy the proceeds. Through hitch the picture was not recovered at that time Worth returned to London and early last spring he fulfilled his bargain.
