met in Cincinnati several years before.
She was the daughter of an old Ger
man counterfeiter whose widow with
her two daughters had lived in Gin
cinnati for several years Martha was
pretty and extremely skillful in the
printing of counterfeits, her father
having employed her in that work
when she was as young as Ii years
of age.
The Mccartney band at Nauvoo had
gained gradually in numbers and the
extent of their operations since pete"
had settled there, and among his con-
federates was DR.. Milton Parker, who,
at the time l was detailed to the
Boyd-Driggs case, was in an eastern
penitenitiary for counterfeiting. But
Mrs. Parker continued to live in
Nauvoo and was a handsome and in
telligent woman. There also lived
at Nauvoo a counterfeiter named
Louis Sleight and his partner, John
Frisbie, known to the secret service as
the leaders of the "Sleight and Fris-
be- gang. Knowing full we'll that
nearly all the western counterfeiters
of note at one time or another visited
Nauvoo, l determined, in the absence
of better or more definite clews, to go
to Nauvoo and look around. 1t did
not take long to discover that briggs
had been making visits to Nauvoo,
but, so far as could be learned, the
magnet that had drawn him thither
was the beauty and charm of Mrs.
Parker rather than any business plans
he might have been working out in
connection with Sleight or the other
members of the counterfeiting band
that flourished in the historic Nor
mon settlement
This was the first tangible clew that
had been uncovered in weeks of
search through three states, and l de-

termined that it was from the resi-
dence of Mrs. Parker in Nauvoo that
briggs should be followed.
From further cautious inquiry at
Nauvoo l found that briggs had re
Gently made a visit to Mrs. Parker
and on leaving had gone ostensibly
to Clinton, Ia. Familiar as l was
with the manner in which such Grim
inals as briggs bought tickets for un
intended destinations, doubled on
their tracks and went to great pains
otherwise to throw the secret service
men off their trail, decided to go to
Clinton.
In the latter part of June, 1875, an
elderly man and his wife, good
looking woman many years younger
than her husband, made their appear
ance in Clinton and rented two
houses. The man gave the name OF
J. K Watson and told the men with
whom he negotiated for the houses
that he was a retired cattle
raiser. He was a Scotchman, dark
skinned. of rather heavy physical
mold, and wore a full beard He
dressed as we'll as or slightly better
than man in his alleged vocation
would be expected to dress. His gen.
eral demeanor tended toward the
sanctimonious He often attended
church and was fluent at prayer and
in religious discourse. Funds he had
in plenty, and he gave substantial evil
dence of his business solidity by de-
posting $4,000 in the Clinton bank
"Mrs. Watson" was appareled stylish
ly and was agreeable in manner.
Those who came into contact with
them decided that Clinton had made a
valuable business and social acquisi-
ton when the Watson family set
tied there. The newcomer and his
good wife chose the better and more
centrally located of the two houses
rented for their residence. Into the
other house, which was about a mile
and a quarter back from the river and
the last house on the street, there
moved about the time of the advent of
the "Watsons" a family of four Ger
mans, the father, mother and grown
son and daughter. giving the name Of

popular attention. l now propose to
tell, after nearly 80 years, the Grim
inal operations, plots and counter
plots that led to the great Lincoln
bodv-snatching case"
1t was on the 5th day of February,
1875, that a quiet hammered man ap-
peared at the Palmer house in Chi
cago and registered as "E. Washburn,
Washington, d. c." While having a
wide acquaintance in Chicago the
guest, on this occasion, kept much to
himself. Almost Immediately on his
arrival received from him an urgent
message to meet him at his hotel, and
/ promptly responded, as the call
came from the chief of the United
States secret service No time was
wasted by Chief Washburn in getting
10 the meat of what he had to say,
and, after nearly third of a cen
tury recollect his words as follows:
"Tyrrell, there are two men the gov
eminent must get They are Nelson
briggs and Ben Boyd by name, al
though between them they have
dozens of aliases. Boyd is the most
expert cutter of counterfeit plates in
the United States and briggs is the
most extensive dealer in 'coney'
money in the country. Benson Of this
department has spent $4,000 in try
ing to locate them, but has not sue
ceeded SO far. If you can get them
dead to rights you will break the
backbone of counterfeiting in the
United States"
Are they as important as that?"
/ asked.
Eyes," answered Chief Washburn,
"they are the most important 'coney'
men in existence to-day. We know
nothing about them except that Boyd
and briggs are their right names.
The rest is for you"
My chief gave me such Information
as had been gathered-practically
nothing, as he himself had said-and
returned to Washington. There may

two arrivals there was apparently no
acquaintance nor communication; but
under cover of the darkness at night
and in the most cautious manner pos
sible "Demarest" did communicate
with the strangers, one at time In
fact every item in the domestic routine
in both the Watson" and "Schafer'
residences found it's way daily to
"Demarest." One day while this play
was going on watson" made an ex-
cursion to La Clare, Ia, a distance of
seven miles. He had taken his de-
parture without precaution against
being followed, for there is no reason
to believe that he suspected there
were in Clinton three men to whom
his every move was of vital interest.
At La Clare Watson" made his way
to an old stone house on the river
bank and spent some time in the COM
pany of a middle-aged man, who oc-
cupied the house with his wife. Leav-
ing the piping" of the Watson" and
"Schafer" homes to my assistants and
in my role of "Demarest" l had taken
up the chase of Watson" on his excur-
sion to La Clare and of the man whom
he had gone to meet. This was on
August IL, 1875, and during the
months l had been working on the
case l had not had the slightest clew
to tho whereabouts of Ben Boyd.
After the visit of Watson" to La
Clare l had little difficulty in estab-
fishing in my own mind the identity
of the man on whom Watson had
called as Ben Boyd, the most expert
plate-cutter in the United States and
the man on whose skill and activity
there depended the success or failure
of the entire band of "koniackers, .
male and female, then operating in
the middle west The discovery of the
whereabouts of Boyd through the
visit of briggs, who was none other
than Watson" Of Clinton, was a long
stride toward success in a search that
had looked hopeless enough at the
start
From that time the three houses
were carefully watched and the
movements of the inmates minutely
noted. A little later briggs paid his

Schafer This new, family, according
to the gossip of the town, were in the
employ or under the care of Watson"
the exact relations being ill-defined.
Both families were unobtrusive, es-
pecially the German family, and there
was nothing in the known affairs of
either family to arouse uncommon in
tereSt
1t was shortly before this-a few
days, in fact-that l had had my first
look at the man | believed from the
meager description to be Nelson
briggs. After the trip to Nauvoo
had come up the river and stopped at
Fort Hamilton, small town across
the river from Keokuk, where, one
day, on the porch of the town hotel,
l saw a man answering the descrip-
tion of the notorious dealer in the
queer" He was talking to a man
whom l did not know, and / did not
allow myself to be noticed by the
pair The man / believed to be
briggs was about SIS years old, heavy,
with full beard and the air of we'll
TODD farmer. l did not allow him to
get out of my sight, and when he went
to Clinton l became convinced that
had not only found briggs, but that
my information from Nauvoo was
correct. Therefore, Immediately
after the suspect had been fol-
lowed to Clinton man registered at
the Revere House. in that city under
the name of &c. A. Demarest," an un-
communicative and unobtrusive chap,
who attracted no attention. Soon
afterward another stranger made his
appearance and rented room in a
house directly across the street from
the one occupied by a. K. Watson"
and his wife. The following day still
another stranger appeared in Clinton.

OF course the republicans say that
the conditions are exceptional in the
case Of the Panama railroad, but that
makes no difference. The right of the
government to own and operate rail
road is established and the necessity
or ACCESSIBILITY of exercising the right
