and, handling me what was apparently a
Russian note. asked me If 1t was any
good 1t seems that he had got 1t from a
young Russian girl, who, in turn, received
1t from a Russian whom she had never
seen before. 1 brought it to the city,
found that 1t was one of the now famous
rouble notes with which the continent was
being flooded, and the quest for the coun-
terfeiters was begun.
II got in touch with the girl and for days
upon days was with her. My patience was
finally rewarded when she pointed out the
man VINO had given her the note. l fol-
lowed the man to Kensington, and from
that time on the house and its occupants
were never unmatched. We picked the
whole ten men up, one at a time, and fol-
lowed them all over the continent Finally
we had enough evidence against them to
Kensington house. Two of the gang were
in Europe. but on the\ night we entered
eight of the men were in the house. We
had previously got man in touch with the
gang, and unknown to them had obtained
Impressions of the keys to the front and
back doors of the house.
Now, to understand just what happened,
must go ahead of my story and tell you
that the gang had prepared against raid
in the following way. INSTEAD of hiring
only one house, we thought they had
hired as well the two houses above them on
the street. They had cut connecting doors
between the three houses, but these were
blind doors and could not be seen very
easily. They figured on going through to
the third house and thence to the street.

six of Us entered the house. leaving
some men at the front and back in case
of an escape. The gang heard of us, and
taking the alarm passed through the blind
doors to the third house. We thought
they had gone upstairs. and were about 10
ascend when. in the rush, fell against the
blind door and it gave way.
Hello, what's this? says l, and while
three of the men went upstairs three of
us went through the blind door into the
next house.
I'm the meantime the gang had attempted
to leave by the front door of the third
house and had been discovered by our men
waiting on the outside. The alarm was
given and we all filed into the street. We
got five of the gang. but Poslnoskf Demp-
ski and a fellow named Leveshon refused
to come out. The men we had captured
said all three were heavily armed and had
sworn not to be taken alive.
I'VE were at a loss how to get at the men
as we were not anxious to lose our lives

us went into the middle house and posted
ourselves by the blind door leading into the
house where the three men were hiding
Then the fire brigade was called out and

Neapolitan Crime.
From the London GJohe

From the London Globe.
The Neapolitan police are making bold
effort to break up the notorious organiza-
ton of the Camorra. There have been sew
eral occasions recently in which its agents
have been brought to book and the society
has countered by numbering a sergeant of
carabineers who had made himself con-
spicuously active. Perhaps the case which
most vividly brings out the ramifications
of the Camorra. its wide sweep and low
borrowings. Is that of gentleman named
Pennese, who had been robbed of two thou
sand pounds In long series of thefts nv
valet and chambermad named Vallone
and Peril The former, a member of the
Camorra. had been forced by his chiefs to
commit the robberies and hand over to the
common fund all the proceeds, but a per
centage was allowed to secure the conni-
vance of the woman, who invested her
share In a savings bank through Young
priest named Michel Angelo DiIauro as
Savings" Weary at last of thees exac-
tions Vallone fled to Rome only to he
forced by the Camorrists there back To
Naples to continue to act as ''milch COW
which he did until arrested. While SLOWLY
unraveling this labyrinth the police were
puzzled at first to fix the exact respons,-
bilty of the priest, who alleged his bona
fides confessor. Ultimately however
the sad truth was established that even
among the lower clergy the Camorra has
