Ing the vaults OF the treasury was the
time Martin Broadfoot had his plans
about perfected. This was back in the
eighties, and the plan was to get into
the building by means Of the great
sewer which runs under and near the
treasury and is known as the Fifteenth
street sewer and which grows larger
as 1t enters the Potomac about three
quarters Of a mile from the White
House
Broadfoot's plan, as developed after
his arrest, was to get into the building,
crack the safes and place the money
In large rubber bags and float them
down the sewer to the Potomac. where
his pals would be in waiting. These
bags were found In his room when he
was arrested, and secret service men
had often seen him walking along the
shores OF the Potomac near where the
big sewer empties. This sewer Is
about nine feet in diameter where II
passes the treasury. A man could
easily make his way up the sewer
through a stream OF water which I'm.
der normal conditions is only about
twelve inches deep BY entering the
tunnel or sewer at the river the jour.

keeping a sharp lookout. When the
man or men in the sewer reached the
Fifteenth street sewer nothing would,

bullion except about eighteen feet Of

large enough for n man to crawl

the exact location Of the wants, and
when he once reached them he would
have had no trouble in getting the gold
coin and bullion. 1t was evidently his
purpose to ill the rubber bags with
the precious stun and fioat them down
the sewer to the river, where they
would be looked after by his confed-
crates This was the only really well
laid plot ever made to loot the treas
ury, and Just why Broadfoot was

known to the public. He was an intel
