CAPT. M'HoRNEWs 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 a few years ago from a 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 70 the curiosity
OF q woman. Her name was Mrs.
Francis, as / recollect It, and she ran
a boarding house over Narew's oyster
saloon, which adjoined the bank. One
Of the thieves-Vogel, think-hired
q room from her on the second floor,
which adjoined the bank on the east,
and opened a studio as blind.
Every morning regularly Mrs.
Francis was called into the studio by
the sculptor to clean up the place.
Things went on for q week or more
in this way. The sculptor kept ham,
mering away, and Mrs. Francis en-
joyed her morning call. It was along
about housecleaning time. and Mrs.
Francis started in one morning to
clean the windows on the sculptor'S
floor.
In passing through the hall with
a step ladder It struck her that It
would be q 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 Hight was open.

(cOpyriEht BY F. L. Nelson

I'VE got rid OF part OF the iron, ana
then It was arranged that Dave was
to do the outside work and give No
warning Of danger signs. We had no
fear Of the police, but there were q
lot Of secret service bugs flying
around. They were not up to our
game, but they knew me and Dago
Frank from q couple Of tricks done In
other places.
Dave threw us down In great
shape, but l never blamed him for It.
He was always on the level, but In
clined to take chances. Instead OF
keeping tab, Dave-so he told me
afterward-used to drop into Taylor's
hotel and play billiards. He could
beat about any one that handled q
cue, and would play all night II ne
could get any one to stay with him.
Our work went on, and We reached
the top plate OF the money box. Then
1t was only a question Of drills, acids
and jimmies to get through the plate.
With good luck this would take only
a few hours. l could almost feel the
crisp bills In my fingers.
Then came the end, suddenly and
swiftly. We were in the pit working
by the light of candles, and supposed
that Dave was in the building some
where. l was swinging sledge, john
son was holding the chisel and Dago
was resting. / heard slight COM
motion In the room above and thought
that Dave had come in for something.
A second later I heard Q strange voice
shout into the fireplace:
Throw up your hands!'
Il looked up and saw two police
mems heads and two guns covering
us. We threw up our hands. Then !
said to Dago: Are you heeledT He
replied: No So secure did we feel
with Dave on guard that We mad all
left our guns in the room.
81 am going to make a break
said. I'm with you,' said Dago. John
son only cursed.
"'Come out or I'll shoot was the
next order, and we climbed out Of the
hole feeling pretty tough. There
were six cops in the room and every
one had a gun. A fellow came toward
me with nippers and dashed for the
window. | never reached It. A club
got to me first. johnson still cursed.
Dago went through the cops like
shot, knocked couple OF them down.
reached the stairs, jumped over the
heads of several cops, and reached
the landing. A fat cop who was too
lazy to go upstairs stood in the hall.
and before Dago saw him, the cop got
in his work with the stick. Dave was
in Taylor's hotel playing billiards
when this was going on, and when he
heard 1t went under cover. He did
everything that was possible to aid us.
and even went SO far as to INK up
job to get us out Of the Hudson coun'
ty jail. But he didn't have. enough
coin. The three Of US took our tif'
teen-year stretch at Trenton without
a murmur, and Dave gave US all the
luxuries that money could furnish
there. I'm going on the level now
but 1t is not like the old times"

NOSE voeEL's STORY.

TT was along back in the seven
ties" said Nose, that Dave Cum
mings, then in the height OF his fame
az a crook. met me on the Bowery'
and we went together down to the old
Atlantic Garden. Suddenly Dave
turned to me and said: I think you
are on the level, Nose ] felt that
this was a big compliment, coming
from Dave. for he was an independent
high-strung fellow, who would pass
up a thousand thieves without giving
one the nod OF his head.
II told Dave that had always tried
to be square and to live up to that
wheeze In the copy-books about hon
esty being the best policy. He didn't
ask me to 90 in with him then or
even let out to me what was In his
mind. That wasn't Dawes way. But
| knew he had his eye on me as a
bright lad that was sure to rise in his
profession. He did ask me to step
down to Murray's with him, saying he
needed a little money and was In the
mind to have whack at Murray's
game. He had just made a big haul
somewhere and had about $4,000; so
l didn't think there was any chance OF
him going to work right away. But
the cards ran against him and In less
than a week the whole bank roll had
passed into Murray's hands.
Seeing how things were going with
Dave sort OF held myself open, turn
ing down several good offers OF high
class work Sure enough he finally
hunted me up. He had newspaper
clipping about big special deposit,
$4,000, 900, lying in a bank in Jersey
City that he'd planted, and just wait
ing for somebody to come and get 1t.
It made my mouth water to think OF
all that money.
Dave said the work had to be
started right away, before the money
was paid out and so, after taking
look at my engagement book, | told
him ! was free to go to work any
time. We went right up to Harry
Hills place that night and Dave in
troduced me to ed. johnson and Dago
Frank, a pair OF Al western crooks.
who had worked on several big tricks
with Dave already.
The next day we went by different
routes to Jersey City and picked out
a quiet boarding house near Union
Hill. The real work OF planting the
bank then began for fair.
1T took a week to plant the bank.
