for some fictitious address. IN a broken
English kind Of lingo, which he could
not at first understand. He was very
polite young man. and, Of course, stopped
to help me out of my little difficulty.
While was engaging the cashier in this
fashion, ! kept my eyes rambling to the
bank to see II my pals were getting away,
moment he would see them In the act OF
robbIng, and all would be lost
After holding the cashier for a minute
or two, he became impatient at my unin-
telliglble talk and said he was sorry he
could not help me and would have to be
going. Now. under no circumstances could
I permit that cashier to leave then. II
necessary I would have grabbed him
about the neck and held him by force until
my companions escaped. But better
scheme than this suggested Itself; I de-
liberately spilled the can Of milk over the
cashiers clothes, doing 1t, OF course in an
apparently innocent way
The nice white milk settled all over the
young mans vest and coat and he looked
a sorry sight indeed. He was exasperated
at my awkwardness, as he called it. and
took out his handkerchief to wipe off the
milk, and I. full of sympathy for his de-
plorable plight, also took out my hand
kerchief and gave my assistance. While
we were trying to get rid OF the milk l
saw the robbers hurry out Of the bank
and walk rapidly up the street Then I
knew they had gotten the cash. and 1t was
no longer necessary for me to detain the
cashier. I mumbled my apologies to the
poor. milk-bespattered cashier, and then
hurried off down the street,
! went into doorway-which I had
picked out in advance. Of course-and took
off my Quaker disguise. Under the dis
guise I had on my regular clothes. I left
the Quaker outfit. milk can and all, in this
strange doorway and then hustled of to
meet my pals at the rendezvous previously
agreed upon. We divided the money-we
had obtained $90,o00-and stayed In the
town a few days.
In the papers the next morning there
was big account OF the robbery, and the

"But better scheme than this suggested itself
l deliberately spilled that of milk
over the dapper cashier"
over the d,

on the different counters Of the bank. and
We decided that We could go into that bank
in broad daylight and get most OF the cash.
For several weeks we had studied The
methods in vogue iu the bank and knew
pretty accurately where the cashier and
other employees would be al certain hours.
and which hour would be the most favor
able for our work.
There were four OF Us working on this
particular robbery, and Il was decided that
that I should disguise myself as a Quaker
woman, and pass the bank at a certain
hour. ! went around the town for several
days studying the costumes OF the women
and finally rlgged myself out in the typical
Quaker housewife style.
I purchased small milk can and, as its
neTness might attract attention. ! rubbed
the can with dirt until II took on q tine

worn appearance Then ] secured one
by the women who go to market to dispose
Of small lots OF vegetables. For several
days my pals and myself rehearsed the
work We had to do SO that when the time
Of action came we were perfect in our
parts.
We had found out from our daily OBJ
servations Of the bank that the cashier
who was good deal of dandy. went out
every day at half past twelve and re-
turned about one o'clock Several Of the
other clerks in the bank went out for
their lunch at the same time. At fifteen
minutes to one there were fewer clerks in
the bank than at any other period Of the
day, and II we were TO do our work at all
1t must be accomplished at that time.
There was only one drawback to this
arrangement-the cashier occasionally
came back FIVE or ten minutes to one. and
We could not be certain that he would stay
out the full half hour on the day we
operated. II he came back before one
o'clock our scheme would be frustrated
ana We WOulQ PROBABLY De arrested. so 1t
was decided that should lay outside the
bank and intercept the cashier II he should
happen along before my pals made their
getaway from the bank.
On the day OF the robbery we were near
the bank at half-past twelve, and waited
til quarter Of one, when we saw several
other clerks go out Then the rest Of my
band FASTENED into the bank, and I kept
my eyes fixed on the direction In which the
cashier usually came. The robbers who
went into the bank had number Of little
formallties to get over before 1t was possi-
BILE to grab the money. and this took time.
They had been inside nearly ten minutes
when / spied the cashier walking up the
street toward the bank. AS luck would
have 1t, he was getting back five minutes
ahead Of his usual time. I strolled leisurely
TO meet him, dressed up, Of course. as the
Quaker housewife, with my basket full
OF vegetables and can of milk on my arm.

middle Of the block, about hundred feet
from the bank. | accosted him and asked

Disguised Themselves as
Policemen, and Other
Ingenious Schemes Used by
Thieues in Bold Attempts
TO Get Their PLunder

Then Raymond waited for the diamonds to
come from the mines his plan to get them
into the post office safe having been very
carefully thought out
At one stage Of the trip the diamond
coach had to make 1t was necessary for it
TO cross a river. This was accomplished
by means OF a ferry which was operated
by a wire-rope cable. Raymond decided to
spoil this plan. Before the coach arrived
at the ferry. he succeeded in severing the
wire cable. There was strong current
running and the ferryboat naturally drift
ed down the stream.
When the coach arrived at the river,
there was no ferryboat 70 take It across
and there was no other means Of fording
the stream. AS have mentioned, the
schedule of the coach had been arranged
so that It would reach the docks just in
time to catch the steamer for England
The delay at the river resulted, as Ray
mond had known it would, in the coach
missing the steamer, and the next steamer
wouldn't sail for a week In the mean
while, the diamonds were deposited in the
post office safe.
It was an easy matter for Raymond to
get into the post office the following night
and the keys he had made gave him access
TO the safe. The diamonds and other val
uables he had planned SO cleverly to get
were worth 100000 He absracted them
all and buried them.
Instead of fleeing the country with his
booty, his prudence dictated that he was
safest right there, and he remained there
for months. Subsequently. Pc disposed OF

when he heard of the successful robbery
that It was Raymond who had COM

Although It netted the burglars only
100000, the robbery OF the Kensington
Savings Bank of Philadelphia was one Of
the most cleverly arranged crimes OF
modern times.
The theft was committed by band OF
the most notorious bank burglars OF the
time including Tom Mccormack, Big John
Casey. Joe Howard. Jimmy Hope. Worcester
Sam. George Bliss and Johnny Dobbs. No
more competent crew OF safe cracksmen
could possibly have been gotten together
On the day these burglars planned tc rob
the bank. the president received informa-
ton that the crime was contemplated and

would probably be

or the night following.
This information
came apparently from
the Philadelphia Chief
Of Police, the mes
singer stating that the
Chief would send
down half a dozen
uniformed men that
afternoon, who were
10 be locked IN the
bank that night The
president was told to
keep the information
TO himself as Il was
desired 10 catch the
burlars red-handed
and II was feared
that word might reach
them OF the plan TO
trap them and they
would be scared off
