Sleuths as Cut-Ups
some OF the sleuths attached to detective
headquarters over here are such cut-ups.
A couple OF weeks ago a pair of neat-look-
ing and nicely diked young men began to
KITE some marveously good paper around
New YORK The signatures were so perfect
although they Were bogus that the pajr OF
young men hadn't the least difficulty in the
world in getting the checks cashed
inside OF very few days they had shred
ded the community for quite some thou
sands of dollars, when some sort of a little
htch occurred, and they were arrested
The sieuths looked the young men over,
tried them out as to their penmanshin and
so on, and reached the conclusion that
neither OF them could have been the
scratcher'-that is to say, the forger-and
that they were merely the passars of tba
'phony' checks
While the gumshoers of the detective de-
partment We're thus cogitating an exceed
fngly good looking and well groomed young
woman of twenty-one OF SO appeared at
headquarters and asked to see one of the
young men who had been arrested She
said that she had some ''catarrh medicine
for him. The catarrh medicine was found
to be morphine, to which one of the prison
ers was addicted, but that doesn't belong to
the story.
The Foxy Quillers. miraculousiy enough.
jumped to the conclusion that the svelte
young woman in the good clothes might in
some way be concerned with the forgeries
When she left the police building one OF
them followed her to extremely hand
some and well appointed apartment up ON
Central Park west
Then the sleuth rang the bell to her fat
and introduced himself as a second-story
man and a friend of one of the prisoners
He said that the prisoner had sent him to
get a few little useful trinkets from the
fiat. or to have the young woman bring
them to Headquarters herself. The young
woman. not knowing what mad wa-S and
leases these New York fly cops are, walked
into the trap. She gathered together a
suit case filed with articles belonging to
the prisoner and started with the detective,
alias the Second-story man. for headuuar-
ters. On the way, at the suggestion of
the gum shoes man. they stopped at a
Broadway restaurant for some refreshment
for which, by the way. the detective per-
pocketbooh.
Then, under the gentle stimulation of
what they call over here the hiss Juice Of
France, the comedy young woman told the
detective that she WAS the forger and with
a pencil she showed him how easy il was
for her to initiate any old signature that
she got Just one peek a t. Warming up with
the feeling of confidence which she felt over
the man whom she supposed to be an old
pal of the prisoner they were on their way
to see. she told him all about her forging
methods
Then they got into cab to go to head
quarters. AS they entered tire door of
Headquarters. the detective flashed his
badge and ''pinched" her He was careful
however, to keep out of range Of the hat
pins which she Immediately produced-he
needed to be careful. 1t is disquieting to
be forced to add that she was unable to
reach him with the hat pins before being
overpowered
The young woman belongs to one of the
finest and wealthiest families in Minnesota.
She was convent reared but she just went
to the bad after leaving the convent, that's
all She is said to be the most scientific
forger ever arrested in New York. and of
