Office was detached from the circuit
which included the other New York
evening newspapers, members of the
Associated Press, so that the message
should go to the Globe alone.
AS anticipated, the dispatch instant
" appeared upon the ticker. and not
long after was printed in the papers
served by other news agencies in diff
ferent parts of the country.
AS soon as this was done and before
it appeared in any issue of the Globe
a notice to Kill was sent out, and
the telegram. therefore. at no time
reached the public as from the Asso-
ciated Press.
The word FIiba was cryptic. Sub
stituting for the initial consonant the
consonant following it in the alphabet,
and for the two vowels the vowels fol-
lowing in the alphabet, F L B A be-
came G l. o B E. Thus the culprits
were left no chance for escape.
This telegram was identified beyond
question, and its source made plain.
The telegraph operator was arrested
and made a full confession. He was
arraigned before Magistrate F. b.
House and held in $1,000 bail for a
hearing on Dec. 10.
N, Y. News Bureau Watched.
In order to observe the methods on
the New York News Bureau a trusted
Pinkerton operator was employed and
established himself as an investment
banker, "R. d. Smith," at an Office
at 366 Broadway He fitted his office
carefully with a safe and appropriate
furniture and installed one of the
New York News Bureau tickers.
Employees of the Associated Press
were assigned to watch the ticker with
great care, and to time each dispatch.
During a period covering several
weeks it was observed that the dis
patches of the Associated Press were
certainly reeated upon the ticker
within five or ten minutes after they
were sent out by the Associated Press.
