Duckworth to it and make the arrest
Several days after the pair reached ST. Louis Mason
reported to Duckworth that he had obtained the de-
sired information and everything ready to make
the capture Shortly after nightfall they set out.
On the way Mason suggested that they stop in a
saloon that Mccartney was known to frequent. Hav-
ing entered the place, Mason made an excuse to go
into back room. After waiting for him little
while Duckworth went to look him up, Mason was
nowhere to be found The door through which he
passed led back yard that opened into an alley
Duckworth went back to the local headquarters of
the service and reported what he regarded as
Mason's breach of faith. While he talking a re-
port from police headquarters that three men.
one of whom claimed be a secret service official,
were in a hospital badly slashed up. Duckworth
hastened the hospital and found Mason on an op-
Grating table Surgeons trying to sew up cash
across his abdomen that extended almost from one
side the other.
The other two patients were Peter Mccartney and
a we'll known counterfeiter named Joe Rogers. They
had been dubbed and cut until they were weak from
their wounds, but the condition of neither was as
serious that of Mason.
When the trio had revived enough to talk they told
their stories Mccartney declared that Mason tried
to extort money from him by threatening to arrest
him. He said he had large of currency in
his possession-whch true-and that Mason,
claiming to be secret service official said he would
arrest him if he did not give it up. Mccartney said
he did not purpose TO be blackmailed and therefore
drew his knife and used it. Rogers corroborated Nc
Cartney's story
Mason told simple story of cornered, criminals
who tried to murder him when he descended upon
them and he turned $4,000 in counterfeit money
that he found in their room
There nothing to be gained by taking the word
of Mccartney and Rogers, against that of Mason,
his story accepted as true And, as the hos
would be fat their backs for some time, Duckworth
ordered back to Washington. He had not been
home more than 10 days, however, before news was
received from St Louis that Mccartney and Rogers
had escaped from the hospital Mason recovered and
given 81 600 for bringing about McCartney's
arrest. He gave plausible explanation of his dis
appearance from the saloon the night he left Duck
WORTH and of the fact that Mccartney escaped
from the hospital not TO be charged up against
him.
That seemed end the case but it didn't The
next spring former chief of the secret service re-
ported that he could obtain a of rolls used to
make counterfeit plates provided he were given d
considerable of money to buy them from in
former who knew where to put his hands upon them
For that is not necessary to enlarge upon
here ordered to shadow him. l did so, and
quite by accident transaction that convinced
Chief Washburne that the former chief was not acting
honestly.
The suspected was brought before the chief
fatty accused of trying sell rolls that he himself
had captured when he government official years
before, and told that it idle try to deny the
charge
