country be broken ZIP. but that the gang
of safe robbers who have been working
through the asst during the past sew
eral months has been run to earth.
MEMBERS OF THE GANG.
This gang. according to the police,
was led by George Williams. n hunch-
back who is known as "Humpty" and
who has spent II OF his as years OF
life behind the bars. lie was n drug
Eist in his youth and while mixing
prescriptions he learned the use Of
explosives and later he became a maxi
or of counterfeit money. 1t is charged.
The names of the others are Samual
Tiffany and George Vaughan.
The woman who was caught gave
her name as Lizzie Jacobson, and SAYS
she is the wife of Williams. She has
been married twice before, but both
former husban are dead. When the
detectives found the apartments occu-
pied by the woman they came upon
the counterfeiting outfit, which in
cluded n dark room and big camera
and n dozen plates from which coun-
terfeit bills could be printed. The
bills were then found. They were as
nearly perfect as any counterfeits yet
discovered.
TOOLS AND EXPLOSIVES.
The detectives then discovered the
burglar tools and the explosives, and
called a patrol wagon to haul them to
police headquarters in Manhattan. The
woman was also taken to headquar-
ters and questioned. She would tell
nothing, but the detectives had got n
list Of addresses in tho house, which,
they believe, will indicate the homes
of the other members Of tho safe blow
ers, robbers and countorfeitcrs.
