Bonds valued at 500, 900, which were

Broadway, on March 20 last, were re-
covered by detectives Yesterday in the
arrest of Robert Gardener. TWENTY-FIVE
wears old. a dancing master in an
academy at Fifty-ninth Street and
Madison Avenue.
Gardeners arrest is attributed to his
belief that "a man with carbuncle on
his neck must be all right" He was
arrested at the home of his mother. So
East Broadway, where he had taken
Detective James Mccormick, of Inspec-
tor Cray's staff, to turn over to him
the $4,000 worth of bonds for $50 900
IN cash. Gardener thought Mccormick
was poor saloonkeeper" of BROOKLYN.
At least he had been told he was, and
seeing the carbuncle on McCormick's
neck he was convinced.
The story goes back to March 90.
when a fifteen year-old messenger bow
who called himself Dennis Shea OBJ
tsined position with the Hartman
hank and two hours later disappeared
with the S11S,o00 worth of bonds. The
boy said he had been employed by
Hornhlower & Weeks, and inquiries
there elected the greatest encomiums
on "Dennis Shea"
But the youth was not Dennis Shea
It was learned later from the Horn
blower firm that Shea had joined the
army after leaving them. He was
found at Fort Houston, Texas, still in
the ranks. The address given by the
messenger was found to be st. Vim
cents Hospital. From Shea, however,
the police obtained the names of about
fifteen OF his chums, and, sitting these
down, Leroy Gardener, fifteen years
old, brother of Robert, was arrested.
Leroy lived with his mother.
Hartman employees identified Leroy
as the messenger who had given his
name as Shea. He protested his limo
cence and would say nothing of the
bonds. He was remanded to a Cath
ole protectory.
Somehow suspicion was directed
toward Leroy's brother, Robert, who
lived at SO Cherry Street. Detective
Alonzo Greer was assigned to work
himself into the good graces of Robert,
and after three weeks Greer confden-
tally whispered to Gardener that he
was wanted in Schenectady "for some
thing" and was getting along here by
hooking an auto or so from time to
time"
Gardener then declared in the course
Of an automobile ride that he had
some bonds he would like to place"
Greer suggested an old saloonkeeper
friend in Brooklyn who sometimes
bought bonds without asking any ques-
tons. Late Tuesday night Greer met
Gardener at the Manhattan end of the
Manhattan Bridge and there introduced

Mccormick was taken to the East
