FALSE LEG WRENCH
CLUE TO CAPTURE
0ne-Legged Man Arrested for
Forqeries on Which He Got
$4,000 in a Year.

SEATTLE, Wash, June o9.-Careless'
ness in leaving at a hotel a nickel
plated wrench, used in fitting an artificial
leg, brought Thaddeus E. York from his
Washington ranch, $50 miles from a rail-
road station, to Jail on the charge Of
forgery. The Pinkertons arrested him
on Monday evening in Seattle after
search Of more than year. They FIRST
wanted him on the charge of breaking
into the ONCE of the Northern Express
Company at Oakdale, Wash, and steal
ing fifty-seven money orders. and they
succeeded in arresting him through in
vestigating a fraud on the American
Bank and Trust Company of klamath
Falls, Ore, Of $1,000. In addition they
think that York is responsible for other
robberies and forgeries which would
bring his plumber up to some 100000 in
a year.
York, the Pinkertons say, appeared in
Klamath Falls, Ore, at the beginning
Of March under the name of Frank b.
Houston. He met a number OF business
men who were thinking OF putting up a
large hotel, and got on we'll with them
After a few days he obtained an intro
duction from one of the prominent citi.
gems to the American Bank and Trust
Company, where he opened an account
He induced that concern to allow him
to overdraw to the extent Of $1,000 and
then disappeared on March 10.
Wrench the Only Clue.
The case was put in the hands of the
Pinkertons, and they proceeded to inves-
tigate. The only clue they found was q
curious nickel-plated wrench. which he
had left behind in one Of the hotels in
which he had stopped. They inquired
about it and discovered that 1t was OF
special make for men who use artificial
legs or feet. They had already been In
formed that Houston walked with limp,
and this explained his gait.
The makers Of the wrench were discov-
cred. and from them 1t was learned that
they had turned out only thirty-seven
nickel-piated wrenches in all. OF these
some had been sent to the Chicago Arti-
flcial Limb Coinpany's Office in San Fran
cisco.
The Pinkertons also learned that az
artificial limbs wear out 1t IL customary
for their manufacturers to keep q record
Of them with the names of the persons to
whom they are sold. They went through
the list and soon came upon the name Of

Thaddeus E. York, for whom they had
been looking for several months on ac-
count of the robbery from the Northern
Express. He was set down as living at
Reno. New. and inquiries there estab-
lished the fact that he was an expert tel
egraph operator. who had been employed
on various railroads in the northwest
and had mother living in Los Angeles

Got Another Mans Orders.

The same man is supposed to have
passed himself of as N. N. Sutherland.
and to have swindled May 10 last year
the American Savings Bank and Trust
Company of Seattle out of 81 800 on two
certificates of deposit. The real Suther-
land lives at Malta, Col, and Is. rail-
road employee. The certificates had been
mailed to him, and Lee, it is alleged. alb
stracted the envelope containing them
from the railroad station at Malta.
February last York was introduced to
the officials Of the State Bank of Chicago
by one of its depositors as George w.
Hampton. He attempted to get 5000 on
his certificate Of deposit. which was later,
the Pinkertons say, proved to be forg-
cry. When he could not get the money
the depositor withdrew $500 from the
bank and gave 1t to Hampton.
The last exploit attributed to York by
the detectives was that which led to his
capture. At the beginning OF March, I'M
der the name of Frank B. Houston, he is
accused of having defrauded the Amer
lean Bank and Trust Company of kia-
math Falls. Ore, out of $1,000. Consider
ing the number of orders of the express
company which were cashed for varying

Lived on a Ranch.

Next the detectives learned that York
had bought ranch at Chelan, Wash,
| $50 miles from Wenatchee, the nearest
railroad point. He had naphtha launch,
| which he used to carry up and down the
Columbia river his produce to market.
1t was also learned that he was expecting
| his mother from Los Angeles to come to
at Seattle, and he was arrested.
York's record, according to the Pinker-
| TONS begins with his appointment in 1890
/ as a clerk of the republican county, city
and state committees in Indianapolis.
After two years he was made clerk in
the post Office of that city, but he lost
his job for political reasons. From 1894
| to 1880 he was again q clerk in the en-
ploy Of the republican county committee
Of Indianapolis, and for three years after
that he was a solicitor for the Indian
apolis Press and News. In 1902 he be-
came q telegraph operator for the Gin
cinnati, Hamilton and Indianapolis rail-
road at Connorsville, Ind.
1t is thought he is the man who, as
John w. Lee, in May last broke into the
office of the Northern Express Company
at Oakdale. Wash, stole fifty-seven
money orders and cashed q number of
them. Lee, to establish his identity,
showed a United States government pass
port, No. 1907, In that name. To the
orders the name of the express compAnys
agent at Butte; Mont, was forged, and
they were put through at such widely
distant points as Toledo, Cleveland,
