Two months before he had been employed by
Mrs. Timmons, wife OF a former cashier OF the
Wall City bank, TO unearth evidence TO show that
her husband had been unjusty convicted and
fenced TO the state penitentary for embezzlng
$4,000 from the bank I'm which he was employed.
On her first visit to the detective office Mrs Tim
mons had insisted that her husband was innocent.
And yet. though the best legal talent has been EN-.
ployed at the trial, Timmons had been declared
guilty, and he had already begun to serve his SEN
tence of ten years.
IL seemed a clear case against the cashier No
one but himself and the president of the bank knew
the combination OF the safe and the president had
been away week before the money disappeared.
Timmons had acknowledged that much on the VIII
ness stand. His story of the disappearance OF the
money told in a few words. He locked the
money in the safe one evening at the close OF bus
mess and when he unlocked the safe the next
morning the money was gone. That was all there
to his story, except for rev inslgnlhcant de-
tails brought out on examination He said
he had placed the money In the safe himself after
the clerks had gone and that he was the hrst 10

work.
After the Jury had found him guilty, he again
told his wife that he was innocent and he said 1t

that she believed It without shadow or doubt
"The circumstances are against me- Mary" he
declared "and I shall have TO suffer the penalty for

Three days later Cushman was in Wall City and
had the details of the robbery from City Marshal

"Oh it is no use to open up old Sores" said the
marshal in bored sort of way. "Timmons did IL

"He was a bookkeeper there in Cramers

The city marshal did not appear to take much
interest in the and he was dropped. Cush-
pursued his Investigations further without
the help of the town officer.
Cushman inspected Williams old desk, which
was located the second floor facing the de-
pleted bank. lie secured photograph OF the
man he seeking from the local photographer
and a sample of his handwriting from one or MS
old ledgers. He then made the acquaintance OF
the local postmaster, to whom he revealed his lden-

prudent and permitted to examine incoming
mail When the right letter came in, he carelessy
picked it up from the distributing table and to d
