cases gave the thieves $4,000. Not
only the New York police but the best
detectives that money can hire have
been trying to find the stolen bonds.
Very few OF the bonds have been re-
covered.
There is every reason to believe
that a master mind is directing these
thefts," Birdsall declared today.
"In the majority Of cases the mes
