DETECTIVE PRICES STORY.

Mistakes are something that cannot
be avoided" said Detective Price, mo
matter how careful you may be. In
probably no other business are mis-
takes made so often as in police work.
and we are frequently uniustly crit
icized and condemned.
Il speak in this way because Of my
recollection OF the pounding / re-
ceived when investigating the robbery
OF the Kingston National bank.
know that / did not deserve all that
| got, but a great many people thought
! was not abused half enough.
81 was put to work upon the case
the day the robbery was discovered,
which was on a Monday morning. A
very singular state OF things was
found at the bank when Cashier Bell
threw open the doors of the vaults to
begin the days business. All the
clerks we're present at their desks, as
the books were kept in another safe,
which was in charge Of the head book
keeper. The cashier entered the vault
to take out some bills to put in the
drawers in his desk A moment later
he staggered out and fell into a chair.
He was not able 70 speak for a mo-
ment. The clerks gathered around
him, thinking he had an attack OF
heart failure, to which he was sub
ject. He announced. when he got con-
troll of himself, that there was no
money in the vault. but he did not say
that there had been a robbery.
AFTER a short consultation, the
bank was closed for the day. and
everything was Just as 1t had been
found when l got there. ! made a
careful examination Of all the windows
and doors. There was no sign that
thieves had forced an entrance. The
vault, according TO the statement Of
Cashier Bell and all the clerks, was
locked when they reached the bank.
The paint on the doors had not even
a slight scratch to show that they had
been tampered with. The deeper
went into the affair the more mysteri-
GUS It became. ! made up my mind
that some one had robbed the bank |
who was perfectly familiar with the |
safe and the methods Of doing busi-
ness.

he president and directors. and got /

he was a genuine book agent by

after waiting an hour RHl saw that
tho cashier, whose name was Bell,
locked mp 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. BIl was close
enough to the keys to remember them
ti he saw them again Bin followed
the cashier to his home. which was IN
the suburbs, in a neat two.story cot
tage, and the preliminary work was
over
1T would have been easy To take tho
next step, which would he 20 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 MS in making escape easy.
Tt was developed in this way: The
same night Btll found ont about the
Keys, we made a call at Cashier Bells
house after the family had retired.
We did not care 20 disturb their slum-
bers, so We entered the house through
"a parlor window Bill had located the
room iu which the cashier slept and
I went there u0iselossly. Either tho
cashier or his wife had a beautiful
snore. and I need not have been so
careful In my operations. found the
cashiers trousers removed the KEYS
and returned 10 the street, where Bin
was waiting.

took a careful Impression of the
vault keys and the key Of the front
door Of the bank IN wax. and all the
measures necessary ] then returned
TO the cashiers house and replaced the
keys in his pockets just as 1 bad found
them. We closed up the house and
went home.
l Immediately went to work on the
keys. They used to say was the best
keymaker in the world. It took me
ebout a day to file the keys.
The night after we had called on
Cashier Bell, Bill and I paid a visit to
the bank about two o'clock in the
morning, when We knew the police.

IN a bakery.
"The keys worked like a charm.
Five minutes after we entered the
bank l was inside the vault packing
up the green stun, l took all the
money and such bonds as appeared to
be negotiable. l 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 a freight train. After riding
about ten miles we left the train,
