with wealth of corroborative detail with
which it is unnecessary TO burden this mar
rative. While McCIaughrey did not tell me
so. ] was always fully convinced that he
was the one who planned the vault robbery
IN the Stewart case. The idea was suggested
to him by the Lincoln attempt. The fact
that he stole the body from the ones who
had stolen It IN the first place was addi-
tional evidence that ne was the originator
OF the plan, as a similar second theft had
been planned by some of the men involved
IN the theft of the Lincoln body and with
this inner plot McClaughrey was fully
quainted. Concerning the truth OF his state
ment there was not the slightest doubt

What they discovered on that trip do
not know. If McClauGhrey was satisfied
that the girl had kept the secret It is prob
able that what is left of the body Is buried
In the spot near Allendale. If he had reason
to believe the girl had fallen under the in
huence OF some else while he in

risk OF moving the body again. After he
went east with Gavin l lost track of him,

feeling that he was not intended for thief.

newspapers OF the country contained the
sensational news Of the theft Of the body of
\. T. Stewart from its temporary resting
place In ST. Marks churchyard in New
York. The crime had been committed some
time between the hours of 2 and o clock
on the morning Of the 18th of November,
two years, almost 10 the hour, after the
attempt was made to steal the body Of
Abraham Lincoln. The remarkable career
of the millionaire merchant prince, his vast
wealth, as wealth was calculated thirty
years ago, and the originality and daring
of the crime Itself combined to render It one
OF the sensations of the decade. The feat
urcs of the robbery essential to the proper
understanding of the circumstances I am
about TO relate herewith give as briefly as
possible:
A. T. Stewart died and was buried in
April 1876. The interment took place in
ST. Marks, in the Stewart family vault.
but it was not intended that the body should
find its final resting place there. At her
husbands death Mrs. Stewart commenced
the erection OF a 100000 crypt al Garden
City. intending to transfer her husband s
body to IL as soon as It was completed. On
October 7, 1878 the sexton of St. Mark s
FOUND the earth around the Stewart vault
had been disturbed, and Immediately re-
ported his discovery to Henry Hilton, who
was in charge of the affairs OF the Stewart
estate. Judge Hilton took the precauton
TO employ private Waterman and to move
the memorial slab that marked the Stewart
vault to another part Of the cemetery, in
order 70 deceive any one who might make a
second attempt Nothing of q suspicious
nature happened for a month. and on No
vember 5 the private Waterman was dis
charged the slab being allowed to remain
IN Its false position.
When Francis Parker. the assistant sex
ton. reached the churchyard at o'clock on
the morning of November he found the
earth around the entrance to the vault re-
moved. on the ground lay dark lantern
and d fire shovel. Descending to the vault
he found the lid of the outer wooden casket
containing he Stewart body removed, the
lead secon, casket ripped open and the
body reno ID from the innermost coffin.
