the door and burst It open. We found
a young man In the room. There was
a printing press. a quantity of print

chairs and a stove. But there was not
a scrap of paper In sight, nor anything

learned that this house was occupied
by m elderly gentleman. anDarently a
Russian or German, a tall young man
of twenty-five or ~thereabouts, and a
rather comedy appearing young wom-
an. In their coming and going they
appeared much like other people. This
particular house, however, had long
been pointed out and stared at because
Of a great crime that had once been
committed within Its walls.
The Rhetschlags, as they were
known, were a very secluded family.
No one seemed to know where they
came from or by what means they
earned their livelihood. II was rare
that any person had been seen to en-
ter their door during the day time.
While the detectives were on watch

sions in the evening, remaining a
short time. When he left he carried
a small bundle. 1t vas also learned
from the people on the other side OF
the wall that strange noises had been
heard late at night. There vas a
clicking and Earring sound as OF
some one pounding upon the floor with
a heavy instrument. The neighbors
thought there might be something
wrong, and that was all the thought
they gave to the matter. Each night

get into the house and learn what was

to be better than no excuse at all was
invented to be offered In case Of fall

the house were kept securely fastened
and that any person ringing the door

The plan to overcome this difficulty
was simple but effective. II was about
the middle of the day when a light
spring wagon containing a trunk was
backed up to the front door of the
Rhetschlag house. Two men dressed
as lGborers took the trunk out of the
wagon and carried It up the steps
