and locked the big doors. Stain and his
gang made their way noiselessly out OF
the building, strolling, one by one through
the town, and out into the country, where
span of horses were waiting for them.
They drove across country keeping away
from the railroad. and made their escape
without leaving clue OF any kind.
When Cashier Barron failed TO turn I'D
at home at supper time, a search was
made. and somebody went to the bank.
The cashiers hat and coat were found in
the inner room, and faint sound of heavy
breathing could be heard from the interior
OF the closed vault Blacksmiths were
hastily called. and after several hours
work succeeded in freeing the imprisoned
cashier-but although Barron was still
alive and breathing, his face was black
from his having breathed over and over
again the poisoned air of the vault, and he
died without recovering consciousness.
Several years later clue to the real
truth of the tragedy was picked up by
newspaper reporter, who devoted several
weeks or painstaking work to piecing to-
gether the scraps of evidence he was able
to collect This reporter then had himself
appointed Massachusetts State detec.
tive, and. arrested Stain and Cromwell
brought them to Bangor, Maine, was able
to have them identified by several towns
people who had seen them In Dexter on
the day OF the murder, and Stain and
cromwell were both convicted of murder
in the first degree, and the conviction was
unanimously confirmed by the Supreme
Court of the State of Maine. They we're

] could go on indefinitely recounting
instances as surprising as any Of these of
the unexpected things which are constant
ly happening to prevent criminals succeed
ing in their undertakings. But these which
have mentioned are enough to show any
thoughtful man or woman how hazardous
and how profitless crime always is.
Success in crime is achieved only at the
risk Of life and liberty. In few rare
cases the criminal escapes these penalties,
but, even 80, his i'll gotten gains melt
rapidly away and bring him TO lasting
happiness. And, as have shown here to-
day. a large percentage of the crimes he
undertakes yield him nothing for all the
time, thought and effort he has to give
them.
Each chapter of my own life as I am
now recalling it and the lives Of all the
criminals have ever known only give
added emphasis to the fact which want
to impress on you-that CRIME DOES
NOT PAY.

s1100. On the strength of this barefaced
lrame.up the memory of the poor cashier
was DETAINED, and the bank actually
brought suit against the widow for some
small sum.
The real facts will now tell you. Jimmy
Hope, the famous bank burglar, first got
his eye on the Dexter Bank as a promising
prospect and made all his plans to enter
the bank when to his disgust. he was
grabbed for another matter, and given a
prison term. In Jimmy Hopes gang was
an ambitious burglar named David L.
Stain, and Stain decided that there was
no reason why the Dexter Bank should
escape simply because Hope was serving
sentence.
So. Stain looked over the ground, and
oeclded TO rob the bank with little band
OF MS own, consisting Of Oliver Cromwell
and a man named Harvey, and somebody
else, whose name do not now recall They
selected Washington's Birthday because it
was holiday, and there was every reason
TO believe that nobody would be in the
bank.
Late in the afternoon Stain and his as
soclates forced their way into the building
and sprung the lock of the back door Of
the bank. The burglars stood for a mo.
ment to put on their masks and rubber
shoes, and then Stain moved forward to-
ward the inner room of the bank where
the bank vaults were

the other side Of the door put his own
hand on the inside knob as he, unsuspect.
ingly started to leave the inside room,
where he had been going over som6 Of the
books that were in the vaults.
AS the door opened Dave Stain and
Cashier Barron suddenly came face to
