Burns methods all through the
Rucf case have been surprisingly open.
When he started out to capture Ruef
after his friends. the sheriff and the
coroner, had been pretending to
search 70: him In vain for a week,
Burns assembled his posse in half
dozen automobiles In front Of Heney's
office: with Ruef's lawyers offices but
half a block away. He had ten men
with him, but the open way with
which he went about the job made
the attorneys for the CRATER think It
must be all ruse, and no effort was
made to follow the party. They went
straight to the resort at the Troca'

in hiding. Burns had the house sur
rounded; then he walked In and sur
prlsed Ruef at dinner. He had his
man back at Hcncy's Office within
three hours.

OF his present work Burns himself
says: This San Francisco case is one
of the most interesting have ever
had OF course municipal graft cases
are all somewhat alike. You know
who the men are who have got official
favors. The first thing to do Is to
single out the official who you think
will accept a bribe, and then get
at him by inducing him to accept what
he thinks is a bride. OF course your
money is marked. Then you surprise
him In the act. After that you have
him cold. Through him you get at the
bribe-givers.

counterfelters Caught,
An illustration of careful detective
work is Burns method in running
down two counterfeitcrs from Cen.
trail America They were Gen. Frcdor'
leo Mora and Ricardo dc Requisens.
These two men had been making
counterfclts In the United States Of
the 100 peso notes OF Costa Rico. Our
government was asked to npprehend
the countcrioitcrs. and Burns was en-.
trusted with the job Others had
worked at II before. but all Burns had
10 star with was n sofa wrapped up
~ burlap in which 100000 OF tho
counterfeit notes had been stuffed for
shipment to Costa Rica. On the bur.
lap was the mark, Xxx 1884"
Starting from this, Burns found that
the burlap had been originally used
in packing a shipment of overalls from
| a factory in Newburg. It WAS the
shipping number. In Newburg Burns
went over the books Of the factory
and found that those particular over
alIs had been shipped to a dry goods
store IN Long Island City. There they
| told him that they had recently sold
piece Of burlRp 10 an old lady BY
| tho name Of Mrs ChCyius, II did not
look promising
But, when Burns learned that Mrs,
| ChcvnB had sonin.law, one Ricar.

| ia Rlca. he thought the trail was get.
ting warm.
De Requiscns was living with a
young widow from Pittsburg at the
| house Of his mother, Mrs. Chevins.
/ Burns placed De Requisens and the
widow under arrest. Then he sent
one Of his men to the Jail with an al
legged message to the effect that If he
would produce the plates Of the coun.
tcrfct notes the government would
abandon his prosecution.
After the messenger left. De Requis-
ems was visited by his mothcr'in'law
When she left him Burns followed her
to her home in Long Island City.
