DETECTIVE REYNOLDS TALE.

at was rather strange" said De-
tective Reynolds, that l should be
given the robbery in the house of
Banker Rochot to work up, inasmuch
as l had something of an inkling into
his method of doing business, through
working up a case of alleged forgery
against his son, Emil-which, by the
way, was proved easily enough, but
was ended by the old man putting up
considerable money to square the bust.
ness.
l imagined when the report of the
robbery came in that it would prove
to be an ordinary house-breaking job,
but soon found a condition of affairs
which started my wits humming for
all they were worth.
81 was aroused from my bed to turn
out on the case shortly before daylight
on a Sunday morning, and went. up
town, not feeling any too we'll pleased.
| found all of the Rochot family up
and laboring under great excitement.
They were not so much worried over
the robbery as they were over the fact
that there was a dead man in the
of the basement.
"Rochot told me he had been work
ing quite late, following set of COM
plicated books belonging to a mining
company in which he was largely in
terested. When he retired for the
night he was in very restless state
and could not sleep. He occupied a
room en- the top floor. While he was
tossing in his bed he heard a peculiar
noise. 1t sounded to him as if some
one were scraping a piece of metal
against pipe. His idea was that
the noise was in the street, and was
made by some workmen who had been
at work repairing a leak in the water
main in 65th street, near his home.
The sound annoyed him, but did not
make him suspicious. 1t continued
steadily, and he would, perhaps, not
have known that the sound came from
the turning of a ratchet drill into his
safe by thieves for several hours if
he had not heard the stairs leading to
the second or third floor creak.
He was startled, but did not make
any cutlery. He was plucky old fell
low at that. Instead of shouting to
see if any member OF his family, all
of whom were sleeping on the two
floors below him, was up, he got quiet
ly out of bed to see who it was. In
the dim light which came from a can
die he could barely see the forms of
two men. moving slowly in the hall
toward the front room door. Their
step was noiseless. and he saw them

1t was a trip of pleasure, for the To-
cal police did not bother us at ALL
This was easily explained. 1t was on
account of the lack of money. In no
small place can you find the men who
have control Of the public money will
ing to spend anything to chase thieves,
and, even when murder is committed,
there is never willingness to put up
money to hunt for the assassin.
When We got back from this trip
we were ine high spirits, and the Bow
cry was painted red from one end to
the other with the deepest red, and
every gambling house in the town
got bit of our coin. When we reach
ed the end of our rope, Teddy McCor-
mick came to me with a story that
he got from a butler in Banker Ro-
chot's home. They met in Bill Muir
rays gambling house on Broadway,
and Teddy staked the butler who had
lost his money in the game The in
formation that Teddy got was that Ro-
chOt carried big bank roll in a safe
in his house, which was in 65th street
near Madison avenue.
Il thought maybe it was a ghost
story put up by the butler to give Ted
dy an idea that he was secure in his
loan. But it was worth investigation,
and / went to look the ground over
with Reddy Ward and Bill Hendrick
THE house was a dead easy one to
beat, and I saw from the outside that
the safe was there. l learned that
Rochot was a very heavy dealer in for
eign securities. There was also a bit
of a scandal connected with his meth
DDS of doing business, which gave q
color to the story told by the butler.
l decided to work the game, and fixed
upon a Saturday night for the trick,
which is the night that all honest folk
sleep the soundest.
eve entered the house through the
bathroom and reached the office,
which was in the rear of the parlor, on
dy Mccormick, Reddy Mack, Bill Hend-
rick, Abe Moses and Billy Reilly.
Mack and Reilly were to do the safe
work, Moses was left outside and Nc
Cormick, Hendrick and myself were
down to make a tour through the
house to pick up anything that was
lying around loose. 1t would not do to
blow the safe, so the drag was used
to force out the back of the strong
box. This took about two hours.
1--WE got the stuff together, and start
ed to leave the house.
Suddenly, without the slightest
warning we were met by shower Of
lead. Everybody jumped for himself
When We lined up on the outside
Reilly was missing. 1 concluded that
he had been shot. We hauled a big
Doodle, but million would not pay
for the loss of Reilly"
