Raymond's Great
Disappointment

Kate never realized how she had been
deceived until several years later, when
Billiard was given a prison sentence for
running a crooked gambling house. She
got an inkling of the facts then and
her husband confessed the rest By this
time, however. she had two little children,
and her anxiety for them impelled her to
become reconciled to the situation and
stick to her husband. After his release
they left the children in a French school,
returned to this country and took brown
stone house at the corner of Cumberland
street and De Kasb avenue, in Brooklyn.
Here they installed all the costly furniture,
bric-a-brac and paintings which had made
Billiards. gambling house one of the show
places Of Paris
Soon afterward Raymond also came to
America, although there was a price on
his head for his share in the Boylston Bank
robbery. He lived with Kate and Billiard
until the latter's jealousy caused a quar-
rel Then he went to London and laid
the foundations for the international
clearing house of crime which for years
had its headquarters In his luxurious
apartment in Piccadilly.
With Raymond's cool, calculating brain
no longer there to guide him, Billiard be-
came reckless and fell into the hands of
the police. He was sentenced to twenty
years in prison. For her own and her
childrens support his wife had nothing ex-
cept the rich contents Of the BROOKLYN
home. She tried various ways of making
living, with poor success, and was at
Iast forced to offer quantity Of her paint
ings for sale in an art store on Twenty
third street.
In this store one day she met Antonio
Terry. His father was an Irishman. his
mother a native Of Havana, and he had
Inherited millions of dollars in Cuban
sugar plantations. Young Terry was in
fatuated with Hates queenly beauty, and
he laid siege to her heart so ardently that
she divorced her convict husband and mar
ried him. Two children blessed this ex-
ceedingly happy marriage. Before Terry
died he divided his fortune equally among
his wife his own children and the children
she had by her frst husband. Kate Terry

Planning the
Gainsborough Robbery

AS l have said, Raymond had not been
long in London before he had forced hfe
way into a commanding position in the
criminal world. The cleverest thieves
of every nation sought him out as soon
as they set foot in England. They sought
his advice, carried out his orders, and glad
ly shared with him the profits of their lie
gal enterprises. Crimes in every corner OF
the globe were planned in his luxurious
homeland there, often, the final division
of booty was made.
No crime seemed too difficult or too
daring for Raymond to undertake II was
his almost unbroken record of success In
getting large amounts of plumber and In
escaping punishment for crimes that gave
the underworld such confidence in him and
made all the cleverest criminals his &C
completes. Another reason for his leader
ship was his unwavering loyalty to his
friends. Raymond never "squealed"-he
never deserted a friend. When one OF his
associates ran foul Of the law he would
give as freely of his brains and money to
secure his release as if his own liberty
were at stake. II was his loyalty to
friend-a thief named Tom Warren-which
led to his bold theft of the famous Gains
borough portrait for which J. Pierpont
Morgan faisr paid $l25.OOO. Here is how
II came about:
Warren was in Jail in London for his
share in one of Raymond's forgeries. He
was a great favorite of Raymond's and
Harry vowed he would have him out be

Robbing the Boylston Bank

Raymond was very proud Of having
gotten a footing among the big bank bur
glars. whom he had long looked upon with
respect and envy. After several minor
robberies Raymond became uneasy. and
declared that he wanted TO do really big

that the famous Boylston Bank. the big

was worthy Of his skill and daring
