Brothers Stolen Money Was
Contained Found by Sheriff
In Cistern.
KNEW IT WAS THERE
Officers In Trailing Thieves to Pest
house Several Weeks Ago,
Nearly Positive Purse
Was Hidden.

The large leather bill book which
was stolen with the s24o from the
Casey Brothers home on Hilton road
several weeks ago, was pulled up from
the bottom of the cistern at the pest
house back of Oakland cemetery yes
terday morning by Sheriff John j..
Crimmins.
In making search for the bill
book and trailing the thieves at the
time of the robbery, the officers
brought UP at the pesthouse. They
found board loosened and showed
evidence of having been removed. For
the time being, however, the search
for the bill book was discontinued and
the three boys, LeFebre. Chambers
and Bailey when apprehended on Sur
day afternoon, denied any knowledge
.of the pocket books location
Yesterday when Sheriff Crimmins
visited the cistern at the plague house
again, he procured a regular garden
rake and attached handle to the
original and fished about on the bot
tom of the cistern until he felt a
weight on the end. He lifted the OBJ
ject under the water to within FIVE
feet of the surface when it dropped
off again. A second time with slow
procedure, the bill book was brought
up. Receipts and other papers were
found on the inside and rock to
weight the purse down was taken out.
Around the leather book was wrapped
a good sized piece Of insulated cleo
trio wire, one of the rake's teeth hay-
