the officers to any bank in the city OF
Providence for the purpose OF estab-
fishing his moral and financial stand
ing. Nothing. apparently. could be
more straightforward He was placed
under arrest. however. and then the
secret service men made an examina-
ton of his room at the Southern hotel
There they found suitcase con-
tanning $4,000 in genuine money. He
was asked then to explain how he
came to be possessed OF the counter
felt money. He said that on the pre-
vious afternoon he had gone to the
Union station for the purpose of hav-
ing the return half of his railroad
ticket validated As he came out OF
the ticket agents office. the electric
lights were suddenly turned on in
the waiting room, and he saw in the
corner on the floor a long white en-
velope He picked it up and found
that it contained $4,000 in 500 bills
He Immediately went to the office OF
one of the local newspapers and in
serted an advertisement telling of his
discovery, and Offering to restore the
money to its lawful owner. This part
of his story was verified by the little
Identification check which is given to
classified "ad' patrons by the big daily
newspapers. In addition to this there
was clipping from the paper contain
ing a copy of the advertisement
which read as follows:
Found: In the Union station late
yesterday afternoon sum of money
in bank notes which owner may have
after proving property. by applying to
NIB. this office"
Then John E. Wilkie, who had been
directing the movements of his sub
ordinates by wire. determined to take
hold of the case in person.
He Immediately took train for St
Louis, and after a number of inter
views with his associates in that city,
began to consider how to reach the
weakest link in the strong chain Of
probability with which Mr. Graham
was surrounded. One of the earliest
movements made in the investiga-
ton was to discover the exact hour
at which the electric lights were
turned on in the Union station. The
engineer Of the electric plant was con-
suited and his records showed that
on this particular date the switch
which put the lights into operation had
been turned on at $40. Wilkie next
sent to the newspaper ONCE which
had printed the found "ad." and 70
The Idaho Springs siftings-news. (Idaho Springs, Colo.) 1905-19??, 1908-08-15

the "ad" was located in the Herald,
the original copy was found in the
records of the ONCE and 1t was in the
handwriting of Marcus Graham.
The government was now in posses
sion OF suficient evidence to convict
Graham, both Of passing and having In
his possession counterfeit money, but
the authorities did not know where
the plates were. and how the money
had been printed. The big problem
was to locate the plant. to pull It up
by the roots, and effectually stop the
circulation OF these spurious notes.
The two men sat down together. and
Graham was given a breakfast that
would have delighted the palate, and
warmed the heart, Of the most con-
firmed epicure. 1t was topped OF with
fine Havana cigar, and then, this
Formally having been disposed OF, Mr..
Wilkie proceeded to give Graham the
third degree" But this third de-
gree" SO called. differed as widely
from the popular conception of the op-
Grafton as the day differs from the
night.
Graham" said Wilkie, your con-
viction is as certain as that the sun
is shining this morning"
Wilkie followed this up by plausible
argument along the same line. and
always pausing long enough to permit
his words to sink into the mans
consciousness. The argus-eyed rep
resentative of the United States gov.
eminent knew by experience that
there is nothing in this world more
difficult for a man to do than to ad
init to another man that he has
been guilty of wrong. He realized.
therefore, the necessity of giving era
han an opportunity of confessing
gracefully He did this by sugges.
ton. by innuendo by appealing to the
mans pride, by pleading with his pa
triotic instinct, and. at last. by laying
siege to his sense of justice. He said
in substance:
Graham, these notes are works Of
art, and it Is a great shame that a
man of your unusual talent should
have, in q moment OF weakness, per.
mitted yourself to commit such . Ma.
grant wrong against the public.

quested a report upon the exact time
at which the advertisement was &C
cepted The clerk who received the
notice was finally located. and he re-
membered distinctly that he had
stopped work on that afternoon at
five o'clock; the ad. which he had re-
ceived was the fifth or sixth above
the last one. and. according to his
own calculation. it must have been
handed in at half-past four o'clock.
This pointed to discrepancy in era

great results.
One OF the significant discoveries
among Crahans effects was a number
of programmes OF races at Gravesend
and two or three Of the eastern tracks
not to speak of one particular pro-
gramme which contained the entries
Of the races where the first book
maker had received the 500 bill which
he deposited with his roll in the
Broadway Trust company Graham
calmly admitted that he had attended
all of these races: that he was a lover
OF horse flesh and that he occasionally
made small wagers on the results; but
he denied positively having passed
any Of the other 800 bills, and said
that he had never had them in his
possession until he found the white
envelope at the Union station in St
Louis.
Wilkie did some very severe think.
ing at this stage Of the game. and out
Of it all came the theory that If
Graham was guilty. he might have used
similar subterfuges in passing coun-
terfeit money at the eastern tracks.
The chief thereupon telegraphed New
York ard ordered that a careful
search be made Of the files of all the
New York newspapers for the two
months covering the racing season.
1t was like searching for the needle
in the proverbial haystack. but it bore
fruit, for in the New York Herald of
May "a the searchers discovered this
advertisement:
