the process Of elimination, dropping
out names of all those to whom he
was morally convinced on suspicion
could be attached. Then he ascer-
tanned the names of all persons who
had left the town within the preced-
ing IL months. and as a result Of this
learned that George H. Proctor, the
foreman of the boiler shops of the
Erie Railroad company, had gone to
Buffalo about a month after the rob-
berry. This was rich lead and the
detective followed it up with great
eagerness. He located Proctor in
Buffalo without any difficulty and
learned that the man was engaged in
speculating In oil, and that he had
made considerable profit from that oc-
cupation.
The man came in the course of few
weeks. and Pinkerton, who had as
sumed an alias. casually found an op-
portunity of having himself presented
to Proctor. He invited him out for
stroll and finally suggested that
they go to his room at the hotel and
smoke a cigar. Once there. the de-
tective turned to Proctor and said
sharply:
IT'S no use, Proctor. the game is
up!"

astonished man.

After this Proctor threw OF all re-
serve and admitted his guilt. He
said. however, that he had been the
tool of two men named Martin and
Collins. who were now In Canada
They had given him $1,000 as his
share of the booty which he had
placed In glass jar and buried 1t in
the yard of his house. leaving 1t there
until his removal to Buffalo. Pinker-

The Elbert County tribune., 1908-07-16

About a year before the robbery Proc
tor secured employment in the boiler
shops of the Erie Railroad company at
Susquehanna. In six months his SUI
perior skill made him foreman of the
shops In this position he learned
that the money used to pay the en-
ployes was brought from New York
city, and that it was frequently kept
in the safe of the express company
for 4S hours before being paid to
the men. He next discovered who
carried the keys of the safe and
learned that the agent Of the express
company at Susouehanna and two of
the clerks each had a key. His af-
friend of the three men. One day,
while in the shops, Proctor asked one
of these clerks to loan him his keys
in order to unlock his tool chest. In
nocently the man handed Proctor his
bunch of keys. They walked togeth-
er towards the tool chest. Proctor
easily picked out the safe key as he
walked along. He had a small piece
of white paper in his hand, and while
he conversed with the clerk he rubbed
the key tightly on the soft paper. The
impression was perfect. 1t was all
Proctor needed. That night before
going to bed he had key exactly like
the safe key on the clerks bunch
such is the expertness of filters" in
the burglars world. Before morning
he had plan of all the details of the
robbery. He did not deem 1t safe
to attempt the enterprise alone. so he
secured the aid of the two Canadians,
named Collins and Martin. At the
time they were living near the Suspen-
sion bridge.
Proctor now found that the pouch
containing the $4,000 would leave
New York city at six o'clock In the
evening on June 20. The train ar
rived in Susquehanna at three o'clock
in the morning. In go minutes the
pouch had been put in the safe by
the agent and taken out by the con-
spirators. The bogus bag and seal
had already been prepared and as
soon as the genuine pouch was taken
out the other was put In its place.

coy to bring Collins and Martin from
Canada where they had gone to be
beyond the reach Of the American
law. Proctor was allowed to remain
at his home in Sus6uehanna, pledging
himself to keep Pinkerton's agency
constantly informed of his move
ments. One morning. however, he
broke his parole without warning.
Much chagrined at The mistake he
had made in the character of Proctor,
Pinkerton set about to recapture the
three robbers. His first step was to
put out a rumor that the trio were
being sought by the police for bur-
glary committed in Canada. On hear
ing this, Martin, Collins and Proctor
purchased tickets to Portland, from
whence they had taken passage by
telegram on steamer scheduled for
London. Pinkerton was informed of
this through the various agencies at
his control and stationed himself at
Island Pond, a point in Vermont
where the Grand Trunk railroad
crosses the line into the United States.
He boarded the train and interviewed
the conductor who told him that Mar
tin and Collins, evidently suspecting
trouble, had jumped from the train
during temporary showdown on the
Canadian side. He said, however,
that the third man was still in his
berth.
That is enough" said Pinkerton,
and he started for the berth where
Proctor was sleeping. Pushing his
hand in. he shook the man roughly.
What is it?" was the sleepy re-
sponse.
Time to get up" said the detec-
tive, hurry"
Proctor jumped out of bed and
stood in the passageway Of the car
rubbing his eyes with his fist.
Il want you on matter OF great i'm
portance, Mr.. Proctor"
AS soon as he heard his voice, Proc
tor recognized the detective. He
smiled grimly and said:
"All right. l guess the jig's up"
And the Jig was up.
In the trial that .ensued the full de-
tails OF the crime became known.
