II, motored from his palatial country
place in Morialme, Belgium, and later
was seen crossing the French border.
That day the auditors informed the
directors that the president of the road
was the author of the Implications. A
warrant was issued Immediately for
Wilmarts arrest, and detectives took
up his trail.
He was tracked to Havre, after he
had doubled on his tracks to Paris and
drawn from bank there some $4,000.
All the rest of the money he gained
by his alleged stock manipulation had
been spent in high living. for
according to Consul General Mall, he
had a great racing stable, yacht,
of automobiles, and lived the
life of riotous prince.
At Havre, the police learned, man
answering the description of Wilmart
had taken passage on the Niagara.

WIRELESS PURSUES
DEFAULTER; HE SUICIDES

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-While the re-
lentless arm Of the wireless reached
out for him over the Atlantic, a Bel
gian defaulter for S6,OOO,OOO, seeking
safety in flight to America, plunged
to his death from the steamship Mag
ara as the only means of escaping the
accusing finger of the unseen ferret of
the sea.
This at least is the conviction of Of
ficers and passengers of the Niagara,
which has just arrived here, who de-
clare that the description sent to them
when 48 hours out from Havre fitted
to dot that of steerage passenger
who committed suicide by jumping
overheard while search of the ship was
under way.
Detectives Lesson and Moody met
the Niagara at quarantine to arrest at
the request of the Belgian government,
made through Belgian Consul General
Mall, Nestor Wilmart of Client, who is
accused of stock manipulation that cost
the Client Terneuzen railway company
100000. They were in quest of a
man noted for his great strength de-
spite his SO years, and one who had
known only life of ease and refine
ment, though that life had been liber
ally checkered with gay dinners to
chorus girls, both in Belgium and
France, and an Unsuitable appetite for
the costly 1uxuries of existence.

Labarque, a passenger in the steerage
could not talk English, who showed all
the earmarks of better days, and who
bore upon the back of his neck an ugly
scar. Such a scar had been worn by
the defaulter, Wilmart, since the time
some years ago, when, single-handed
he routed a band of brigands, although
sorely wounded by knife cash.
Wilmart was president and a di
rector of the Ghent-Terheuzen rail-
way, short but flourishing line run
ming north from Client. There was
voted three years ago by the directors
a 3O,000,O00 franc issue of stock, duly
subscribed to by English banking
houses. Wilmart, according to the
story related to Commissioner Waid by
Consul General Mall, had access to
the books of the railway. By a series
Of manipulations he duplicated from
time to time the entire issue of stock,
comprising $4,000 shares in all.
Discovery of the fraud did not come
until the first of the present month,
when angry investors besieged the
directors, declaring they were unable
to have their coupons redeemed be-
cause of the Implications.
Auditors Examined His Books.
Wilmart was one of the first to set
an investigation afoot, and a general
inspection of the conpanys books by
a French auditing house was ordered
by the directors. While this inspection
was in progress Wilmart, on October

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-Two of the
cave by the fall of the cave roof, they
were crushed to death.
But these were not bold and bloody
bandits; no posses rode the plains after
them; no warrant was out against
them Just two little boys, Johnnie
and Billie; and their robbers cave,
where they met their death, was in a
vacant lot at 1853 Hopkins avenue East
New York.
1t was two other bandits who made
the discovery of the tragedy in the
cave, and that's what made it the more
terrible for the bold banditti who in
fest the mountain Businesses about
Hopkins avenue and Hull street. They
took shovels, these scared bandits, and
they dug frantically until they came
on a shoe and a little patch of stock
ing, and then they grew sick with fear
and had to cry.
Now the bandits numbered Is or 20,
varying in age from eight to IA. Be
fore they dug their cave in the vacant
lot on Hopkins avenue they took fear
some names to themselves. Johnny
Pecorella, IL, was "Rattlesnake Jack;
Billy Blum, 9, was bill the Bitter"
when he was not tucked in his own
bed; little Johnny Good was Rob
Roy. and George Wood was "Red Eye
Mike" All the bandits were bound
together by terrible oath and Rattle
snake Jack" had all their names signed
in blood in an old oil can safe down
in the cave.
The cave was a perfect robbers
1t was eight feet wide, the
same number of feet long and about
six feet deep. Over the top boards
were laid, then tin, and on top of all
that dirt was spread, so that every
bit of light was kept out. To get into
the cave a robber had to drop on his
knees and crawl through tunnel ~
