terror.
Every night his reports went to the
Pinkerton Office in Philadelphia. That
is the strangest part of the whole
strange experience. He was in con-

was never once suspected of being
detective. He warned many men who
were doomed to death by the Mollies
He attended all the meetings of his
division. He kept on the best of
terms with everybody.
Suspected at Last.
Whenever he was detailed by the
Mollies to commit some crime or to
participate in the commission he al
ways found some plausible excuse But
events moved swiftly. The evidence
which he was furnishing gradually
frightened the coils around the Mollies.
One arrest followed another. And by
and by it became apparent that some
one was giving to the government all
the secrets of the organization. One
| morning all the signs and passwords
of the Mollies were published In every
newspaper. Then there was no doubt
that they had traitor among them.
Suspicion fell upon McParlan. He
had accidentally dropped letter on
the street. The Mollies accused him
Of treachery. He became indignant
and brazened 1t out. He persuaded
them that he was a terribly abused
man. They begged his forgiveness.
At least they all did except two OF his
brother officers in the order. The eW
dence against McParlan was toe
strong to be doubted. SO they deter
mined to kill him. not the next week
or the next day. but right of.

escaping only by the skin Of his teeth
Sixteen men lay in wait to murder
him, but he was warned just In the

Of the work, he begged to be relieved.
Il am sick and tired Of this work, he
wrote In one of his reports. 81 hear Of

would surely have been killed II he
had remained, for the feeling was
strong against him. So, toward the
end of 1875 he returned to Philadel-

Pinkertons.
