CAPT. M'HoRNEy,s STORY.

Capt. Edward McHorney of the Jer-
sey City police department, who was
the principal factor in the capture OF
the First National bank burglars, was
one of the bravest men who ever won
a silver shield. Captain McHorney
died few years ago from disease
that was indirectly the. result Of the
injuries received during the struggle
with Nose Vogel. and shortly before
death sealed his lips told me this
story:
The capture Of vogel, Dago Frank
and Johnson was due 10 the curiosity
of woman. Her name was Mrs.
Francis. as recollect 1t, and she ran
a boarding house over Narew's oyster
saloon, which adjoined the bank. One

room from her on the second floor,
which adjoined the bank on the east.
and opened studio as blind.
Every morning regularly Mrs.
Francis was called into the studio by
the sculptor to clean up the place.
The floor she always found covered
with marble dust and chips OF stone,
and an elegant screen stood in front
OF the fireplace. The sculptor always
on and chatted pleasantly with his
landlady.
Things went on for a week or more
in this way. The sculptor kept ham,
mering away, and Mrs. Francis en-
joyed her morning call. 1t was along
about housekeeping time, and Mrs.
Francis started in one morning to
clean the windows on the sculptor's

I'm passing through the hall with
step ladder 1t struck her that it
would be a good opportunity to see
the sculptor at work. She heard him
pounding on stone in the room, and
cautiously put up the ladder in front
of the door. The fan light was open,
and it was this trivial oversight that
threw down three of the best men in
the business. How they came to over.
look the fanlight never could under
stand, as everything else in the room
-keyholes, cracks and windows
were carefully covered.
MRS. Francis peeped inside. No
one was in sight. She could see the
blocks of marble. but no one was
hammering on them. The sound was
very distinct, and she wondered what
1t meant. She could hear voices, too.

ladder. The noise in the room stop

and hurried away as rapidly as pos
sible. She peeped over the banister
and saw some one open the studio
door.
I'm a moment the hammering was
resumed, and Mrs. Francis hurried to
police headquarters. I was in charge,
as Chief Edward 8. McWilliams was
in Philadelphia. Mrs. Francis told me
her story. knew at once that a gang
of burglars had planted the bank.
From the time that they had been at
