After long consultation in which
Williams offered to make the trip to
Pensacola for $500 or more in the box,
but could not do so. for no one knew
the combination to the safe excepting
Liberis, it was agreed that the latter
should come back to Pensacola, take
$500 from the box and hurry to New
Orleans, joining Williams and the rich
Italian. Then the journey would De

The three started to get drink be-
fore Liberis went to the depot to board
the train, but in some way or manner
Liberis became separated from them,
but he did not much care for he knew
his money was safe in Pensacola, as
well as 100000 of the wealthy Italian,
SO he gave the matter little thought,
but boarded the first train out for Pen
sacola, arriving here Sunday morning.
He was in no hurry and leisurely
had his breakfast after which he
| strolled down to the pool room to get
$500 or more for the trip. He turned
the combination and opened the safe
door, taking out the box, which was
TWO DUMMY PACKAGES INSIDE.
The two packages were there. His
$3.50 lay inside the handkerchief just
! as 1t had been placed there, so he
picked up the big roll Of the wealthy
Italian and broke it open to peel off
few Of the yellow boys, when he dis
covered to his amazement that the yell
low protruding ends were the backs Of
some advertising matter of New Or
leans saloon. Further inside were
found the pages of a New Orleans
newspaper and some magazine covers.
Beads of perspiration stood out on
his forehead as he grabbed his own
roll Of money and tore off the hand
kerchief. Then his heart almost
stepped beating for there before his
eyes was a crumpled newspaper. He
had been stung. When Williams on
| Friday picked up the $4,000 to wrap
it in handkerchief he had very clev-
erly substituted another package for
the original one.
HASTENS TO CHIEF SANDERS.
Liberis fastened to Chief Sanders
and told his tale to that officer. The
latter got busy without delay, and in
addition to wiring the New Orleans
| chief of police, he sent Liberis back
to the Crescent City Sunday night,
giving him letter to the New Orleans
chief, explaining the circumstances.
Last night wire came saying that
Carlos Pasquinc. who posed as the

had been identified by Liberis as one
