asked the man, and this location was at
once agreed to by the supposed Raj
fies.
The men then separated, the stranger
going directly to his home, overjoyed
with the prospect OF ill-gotten gains.
The supposed Raff1es then returned
to the Herald office, where he recount
ed his experiences.
Is Constantly shadowed
He had been in the office scarcely
twenty minutes when word was re-
ceived in the editorial rooms that a
man of the same name as the fellow
who had met the supposed Raffles was
there. member of the staff reached
the front office in time to see the fell
low without a conscience" handing
over $3.50 for one years subscription
to The Herald. and leave the office
with a copy of the paper In his pocket
During the entire time the two men
were together they were in constant
sight of two members of The Herald
staff, who kept close on their trail,
hearing a portion of the conversation.
One member of The Herald staff saw
the two men leave First and Spring
streets, another stood on the steps OF
the police station and saw them pass
that building, while a third stood in
the window of the Press club, across
the way and watched them on their
journey.
one man kept so close on their trail
that for several minutes he sat direct
ly above their heads at Bunker Hill
and First street and was an interested
listener to their conversation.
Upon the return of the commercial
traveller to The Herald office he there
swore to an affidavit setting forth the
substance of his conversation with the
man who had attempted to persuade
Mr.. Donohue to sell out, and this affi-
davit is now on file with other papers
at The Herald office.
Makes Full Confession
1t was then decided to lay another
trap and catch the writer of the letter
when he showed up to keep his en-
gagement yesterday.
Promptly at 1880 the man entered
the Broadway department store and
went TO the mems furnishing counter,
where he bought two collars. A MEM
Der or The Herald staff was but a few
feet distant. while several others, ac-
companied by plain clothes man,
We're in the vicinity. Mr.. Carruthers,
manager of Mr.. Donohue, who was
also present at last stepped up to the
man and handed him his card.
The crestfallen mgn accompanied the
officers to The Herald office, where, in
the presence of witnesses, the man
signed full statement and confession
Of his connection with the affair.
In this statement he set forth the
facts that he was the writer of the
letter which was received asking Mr..
Donohue to keep the appointment with

and proposed 10 him that he, the Mys-
terious Raffies, allow himself to be

appeared in The Herald a few days
previous showing Raffles at full length.

The two men then went to Bunker
Hill and First streets, where they stood
for several minutes on the southeast
corner discussing the work of Raffles.
Then at the request of the supposed
Raffles they walked across to the
northeast corner, where for several
minutes they engaged in an animated
