Would Change The Date.

While the crowd was gathering and OK
changing greetings, the sole topic Of con-
versation was the unfortunate turn taken
by the tTeacheTOus March weather. ana
Congress was pretty roundly blamed and
criticized for not changing the date of
inauguration TO the month Of APRIL when
there woulj be greater surety Of more
agreeable meteorological conditions.
The opinion was heard on every side
that the pointed argument OF yesterday
in favor OF a change in the date OF in
stalling the President would probably
spur the legislative body on CAPITOL Hin

Cashier Powell The gardener turned
states evidence and gave the whole
thing away. The three society men
held out firmly to the last. They were
convicted only after considerable diff
fcuty. Except for the assistance of
the gardener in securing evidence, we
should never have been able to have
made out, against them, anything
more than a strong circumstantial
case. We recovered about $4,000
from the culprits. and in the banks
vault was more than $4,000 of the
counterfeit money. The night watch
man at the bank was also implicated
and convicted.
The gardener, who had many
aliases, was an old offender. He had
worked at one time in the Frisco
mint. and was regarded as a skillful
workman. After leaving the mint he
had put out a gold coin of the
twenty-dollar denomination. but had
been caught and had served a prison
term for it. He had drifted east, after
serving his term. and had figured out
the plan which he had there put in op-
Grafton. He had manufactured the
coins, using the big furnace at the
bankers residence for that purpose,
and had secured the three society
men. all of whom were heavily in debt
and therefore ready victims. to palm
off the money. Their method was to
tske good money from the bank vault
and replace it with the bad, which
they worked off at the factory in the
weekly pay roll. The cashier at the
bank had secured the place for the
counterfeiter at the bankers resi-
dence, but this had not been with any
particular design further than it was
a place that was especially suited to
the necessities of the counterfeiter"

of Importance. In the stable I stun
bled on an empty champagne case
which was of the same brand as one
l had noticed in the vault of the
bank. 1t might mean something or
nothing, but l had long ago learned
to take particular notice of small
things. and many is the valuable clew
that this habit has given me.
Since the return of Saunders and
McGrath. they had been working on
the clew of the anonymous letter, and
the information it contained about the
mysterious boxes which had been seen
to arrive at the bank at night. They
had located the author, a discharged
messenger, who bore a grudge against
the teller to whose instance he attrib-
uted his discharge. From the mes
senger they learned that the boxes had
been delivered at the back entrance
of the bank late at night. They had
been brought to it in one horse
express wagon. but the wagon had not
displayed license number and the
driver. although mufIled in great
coat, had evidently not been regu-
formed them. He gave a fairly accu-
rate description of the wagon. which
had been of peculiar construction.
Il had seen just such a vehicle at
the bankers residence. a sort of de-
livery wagon which seemed to be en-
ployed in hauling feed for the extern
sive stable of the banker. as it had
1pit nf
bales of hay when l saw it.
"rhe next morning l reported sick
at the bank, but my service with the
banker was not at an end. had shifted
my position from janitor at the bank
to assistant gardener and general fac
totum at the presidents residence.
Armed with a note from the banker to
the gardener / put in my appearance
at his residence. The gardener didn't
seem to like my appearance. He re-
garded me with cold suspicion, while
he read the note from his employer
and, it seemed to me, he rather reluc-
family accepted me as his assistant. l
verify believe he would have driven
me away on some preteXt, if it had
not been for the explicit terms of the
note the banker had written at my die
tation.
THE gardener was a tough looking
customer. There was an atmosphere
of suspicion about him which put me
on my guard and caused me to watch
him with caution. He was a smooth
individual, however. and l had served
in my new capacity for three days
without discovering anything worth
mentioning, wheA he set me at the
task of wheeling out the ashes from
the big bin in the cellar. The bin wGs
