selves. For years they have done their
own household work and titled the soil
of their large farm. Every penny was
saved and as result they had amassed
Il large fortune III cast
Attention was first attracted to them
four years ago. when they bought an
additional farm, paving $4,000 in cash
for it. The money had been buried in
an iron box in the mountain side. Since
then several attempts have been made
to rob them, but Il was not until within
the last eight months that thieves sue
ceeded in getting hc!d of their money.
On one occasion four persons entered
the house and at she point of revolvers
compelled the Evey brothers TO lead
them to where the nss7Ley had been hid
den. Nearly $4,000 v-;.ss taken. Later
thE same robbers again forced the
Eyeys to give up 5000. At times
thieves sneaked in while the men were
at work on the farm and took money
out of trunks ano drawers.
The Philadelphia detective says he
found sums of the stolen money in de-
cayed trees and under big stones, and
that he is able to show that the pris-
oners are the guilty ones.

that contributions promised TO the citi-
zens' committee upon certain conditions
would be transferred to the subscription
list with the permission of the con-
