Waited until banking hours were over
before going to deliver them. He
found several Of the clerks busy clos
ing up the books, and he showed that
he was a genuine book agent by
starting in to talk against time. Bill
knew what he was after and he got 1t,
after waiting an hour. Bill saw that
the cashier, whose name was Bell,
locked up the vault He used two sets
Of keys, one for the inner door to the
small safe and the other for the big
iron outside door. He put the keys
in different pockets. Bill was close
enough to the keys to remember them
If he saw them again. Bill followed
the cashier to his home, which was in
the suburbs, in a neat two-story cot
tage, and the preliminary work was
over.
ut would have been easy to take the
next step, which would be to get the
keys and open the safe That Is what
some thieves would have done, but
had a better trick up my sleeve,
which came out OF my caution, and
would aid us in making escape easy.
1t was developed In this way: The
same night Bill found out about the
keys, we made call at Cashier Bells
house after the family had retired.
We did not care to disturb their slum-
bers, so we entered the house through
q parlor window. Bill had located the
room in which the cashier slept, and
| went there noiselessly. Either the
cashier or his wife had q beautiful
snore, and l need not have been so
careful in my operations, | found the
cashiers trousers, removed the keys
and returned to the street, where BIZ
was waiting.
1--WE went to @ secluded spot where
It was safe to flash lantern. There
| took a careful impression of the
vault keys and the key of the front
door OF tho bank in wax, and all the
measures necessary, ! then returned
to tho cashiers house and replaced the
keys In his pockets just as had found
them. We closed up the house and
went home.
Immediately went to work on the
keys. They used to say WAS the best
keymaker in the world, 1t took me
about q day to file the keys,
"The night after we had called on
Cashier Bell, Bill and paid n visit to
the bank about two o'clock in the
morning, when we knew the police
man on the beat was taking q snooze
in bakery,
"Tho keys worked like a charm.
Five minutes after we entered the
bank was inside the vault packing
up the green stuff, took all the
mouoy and such bonds rs appeared to
be negotiable, / worked lively and In
twenty minutes closed the doors Of the
vault and walked out with $4,000 IN
my grip, We were In time TO connect
with freight train, After riding
about ten miles We left the train,
crossed the Hudson to RhInebeck, and
took the first train to New York"
