minister, significantly.
Just what he intended to do cannot
say, for at that instant there came loud
shrieks from the woman in the house.
Leaving the preacher handcuffed and
under cover of Weigman's revolver,
rushed into the house to find Wheeler
desperately trying to wrest revolver
from the determined grip of the minis
ter's wife. The deputy marshal was a
man of great physical power, but he had
all he could do to secure the loaded
weapon and subdue its owner. Al
though Wheeler had searched the clothes
she put on, the woman had made sud
den movement toward bureau drawer,
from which she grabbed the revolver.
After this masculine outburst of phys
ical force, Mrs. Thomas sought refuge
in the feminine relief of loud and con-
tinued screaming. | tried to quiet her,

we disposed OF Bosse. The nights work
had been aard, and | decided that We
had earned some sleep. Thielen was ar
rested the next day.
1t will be recalled that Whalen and
Woods. after being cornered by the au-
thorities. had consented to aid the gov
ernment in its efforts to put a finish
to the career of Biebush and his princi-
pal assistants. 1t was arranged that
these men should be arrested and then
formally turn states evidence thereby
securing leniency in their own cases.
They were picked up by Deputy United
States Marshal Soest and myself the
day after the arrest of Biebush, in an al
ley near Thirteenth and Olive streets,
and were locked up. Early the same
day. also, we raided the home and
workshop of Hargate, the die-cutter, ar
resting him and securing a quantity Of

dies for the manufacture of counter
felt money. | had intended to use him
as a states witness, as he told me he
had made dies for Biebush within a
period which would make him liable
at the time of his arrest. In this state
ment he was undoubtedly telling the
truth, but in some way he got into com
munication with Biebush, and when the
cases came up for trial we found Har-
gate had suddenly suffered from a lapse
of memory in telling the first story
He said he made the dies at time so far
in the past that the offense was out
lawed, and by this trick, originated by
Biebush, the Englishman nearly es-
capped. He was in i'll health, and was
given light sentence on that account
He was not an engrayer of the first
class, and | believe never made any
more trouble for the government.
"Old Fred" realizing that he had
come to his last ditch, retained the
ablest criminal lawyers he could find
Judge Simmons and eX-Gov. Fletcher
Writs of habeas corpus had been sued
out for "Hoosier Bill' and John Mitch
ell, and they were brought to st. Louis
to testify against Biebush The latter's
attorneys Immediately raised the point
that these two were prohibited from
testifying under the Missouri law, and a
three days argument on this point fol,
lowed. The judge finally decided, how
ever, that their testimony should be ad-
mitted, and | believe this case stands
out as the first in that state in which
convicts' testimony was admitted.
All that money and the best legal
talent could do failed to break down
our case, and "Old Fred" was sentenced
to ten years in the penitentiary. The
government law fixes a maximum pen
atty of 10 years Imprisonment for coun-
terfeiting currency and ten years for
counterfeiting metal money. Sullivan
was sentenced to two years. Rev. An
drew Jackson Thomas ministerial ca
reer was brought to a sudden close by
his being sent ITO the penitentiary for
five years. 'Hankey" Thielen's SEN
tence was one year.
Mrs. Thomas was sentenced to serve
four months in jail. Technically, her
offense merited greater punishment. for
she had passed counterfeit money at
times without the knowledge of her hus-
band. Had her offense consisted mere
ly in aiding her husband and working
at all times with him, she would not
have been punished at all, for supreme
court decisions protect women who
commit crimes at the instance and in
the company of their husbands. Harry
Woods was released as a reward for the
work he had done for the government.
although he was kept in prison until
the time of trial.
Whalen had secretly married two
months before his arrest, and, although
his position was the same as that of
Woods, his imprisonment resulted in
his going insane, and he was taken to
an asylum.
So far as | know no member of the
Biebush band Settled" at that time
ever appeared again in the criminal his
tory of the country.

WhIle there was no possible doubt
that the members of Biebush's family
had full knowledge OF the nefarious
business in which he had been engaged
all his life, they seemed to take his ar
rest as hard as though it was not to be
expected. The prisoners daughter
went for her fathers hat and coat He
had wanted time to get these himself
but | had refused to allow it, knowing
that he undoubtedly would make his
escape into the woods in the rear of his
house and be lost to us-perhaps for
good. The venerable malefactor took
his arrest calmly, as he had.done when
previously arrested and chatted with
the officers on his way to the four courts,
where he was locked up.
The leader of the band in custody, the
work of the night was only begun.
had determined to make all the arrests
that night-or as many of them as pos
sible-before the news of the arrest of
the ringleader reached the others.
Twenty-siX years ago the telephone was
not in general use, and other means of
communication were much more linn
tied than at present, so | felt that if we
worked fast the chances for any of the
gang escaping us were small.
In my detective career of 40 years |
do not recall another night as lively as
that one. Our next move was against
the Thomases. To make these arrests
we took Officer Weigman, as he was
familiar with the minister and his wife.
and with the premises, besides being an
intelligent and trustworthy policeman.
Arriving at the house in Finney avenue,
| sent Weigman ahead to knock at the
door. Mrs. Thomas responded. Weig-
man asked for her husband, and the
minister's wife said he was out-she
believed attending a lecture at DR..
Brooke's church, but she expected him
home soon.
While Weigman was holding Mrs.
Thomas in conversation Wheeler and |
entered the house, telling Mrs. Thomas
we intended to make a search of the
premises. She was properly indignant,
but cool. ordered her under arrest
and placed her in Wheeler's custody. |
