There Is but one word that ade-

came over me, and that is Cheap

whose criminality had taken on SO de.
PRAYED a turn that they would resort
to the theft of the body of the most
beloved American, we found that they
had outwitted us. AS quickly as 1
could recover my presence of mind
after the shock of surprise over find
ing the catacomb empty except for the
desecrated sarcophagus, ordered my
assistants to separate and scour the
shrubbery surrounding for the ghouls.
Going back, it occurred to me that
the ghouls might have sought conceal
ment on the upper parts of the struc-
ture. In the shadow saw the figures
of two men whom could not discern
clearly enough to identify them. It
never occurred to me that they might
be other than Hughes and Mullen, and

up. I fired at them, and they returned

answered, the bullets whistling past

Thus for a time was the most Sc
rious and dastardly plot ever devised
turned into farce. Our prey had es-
capped, and in order to justify ourselves
against the ridicule that would be
heaped on us when the events of the
night became known Immediately

ough examination and mental survey
Of the monument structure and sur
rounding grounds. A spot was select
cd at which one of the detectives could
be stationed from which he could hear
the robbers at work on the sarco-
phagus. Custodian Power was told
that during the afternoon two men
whose descriptions were given would
appear at the tomb and that any ques-
tions asked by them should be an
swered with the customary courtesy
accorded visitors to the monument.
It was about three o'clock in the
afternoon that Hughes and Swegles
appeared, paid the usual fee and en-
tered false names in the visitors reg
lister. Hughes asked many questions,
which were fully and truthfully an
swercd. Mullen, as we found later,
had remained in the city to collect
such tools as he thought necessary
for forcing open the tomb and marble
sarcophagus. At five O'clock Detec-
tive Hay was dispatched to the GENE
terry to inform Custodian Power that
the other officers were coming, and
two hours later, after conference in
the hotel where the work Of each man
had been assigned to him, we reached
the monument.
The day had been dark, and at six
o'clock all daylight had faded from
the cemetery. Inside Memorial hall
the darkness was intense. By those

men, Swegles having promised to in

right moment was at hand for us to
appear at the door of the catacomb
and thereby entrap the ghouls at their
work. Swegles was to work with
Hughes and Mullen until the sarco-
phagus was opened and the casket
ready to be loaded into the wagon.
Then he was to go for the conveyance,

for action had come. That there
might be no mistake in the darkness

been agreed upon.
We had been concealed in Memorial
hall in almost GREATNESS quiet for
about two hours, when suddenly the
flare of bulls-eye lantern was shot
through the bars of the iron door
leading into the hall, and we knew
that the conspiracy was rapidly being
put into actual execution. From their
hurried examination of the hall by
the aid of the lantern the ghouls evil
dDhtly satisfied themselves that no one
was inside. At any rate, they depart
ed in moment and made around the
base of the monument to the north
end, where lay the body they were
running such desperate risks to Sc.

minutes would be fraught with events
that might mean death to any Of us.
now had more reason than ever be-

Swegles and that he would keep his
promise to signal us when the right

len. After finding they had break
tasted at farmhouse about seven
miles from Springfield the next morn
ing, they were again lost to us. There
could now be no rest till the men were
run to earth. Ten days later they
were located in the saloon at 294 West
Madison street and arrested by De-
tectives Simmons, of the Chicago city
force; McGinn, of the Pinkertons, and
Elmer Washburn and myself, of the
secret service.
They were taken to Springfield, in
dicted and tried on the charges of rob-
berry and larceny, there being no spe-
cific statute at that time against grave
robbing, and sent to the penitentiary
for year. Their counsel, in the trial
of the case at Springfield, raised the
cry that the secret service had put up
job" on his clients in order to get
them out of the way for counterfeiting
operations, but the absurdity Of that
defense was too apparent to save the
counterfeiters from prison.
This is the true record of plot that
failed. 1t is not known to this day
why Hughes and Mullen left the tomb
after Swegles went after the team he
was supposed to have, but which, in
fact, did not exist. One theory is that
they heard the detonation of Hays
revolver and fled. Another is that
they left the tomb to meet Swegles
and the driver, and instead saw the
officers rushing on them. Whatever
may be the correct theory, their es-
cape from the tomb before we reached
it was merely one of the innumerable
breaks in the plans of all detectives
except in story books.
