At 1870 on the afternoon of March II.

where we were to get Miss Shanahan

Ansonia. Danny Merritt had shadowed
Girsh from his home and had picked up
Bernstein on the way. The two hopeful
bond salesmen' went directly to the
hotel They went into the small lobby
which adjoins the main one and we ar

best advantage. Whitman. standing in
the main lobby, saw the buyer and the
friend go into the little parlor
Danny Merritt took his stand at the
street door, where he could see Mccartney
and me on Seventy-fourth street. We
kept far away because Girsh knew Nc.

Girsh opened a small square package
and took out bond, showing it to the
buyer. Then he rewrapped the bundle

han and to other witnesses, and
identifications were made. We knew
who had committed the robbery. Tobin's
true name was David Minogue-he was
an old criminal and clever one; Lordy
was Carl Scott, who had long record:
j. Williams, the one-armed man, was no
other than Stuart Wallace, the leader of
the band and one of the wisest criminals
in the United States; Belmont, who with
Lordy had dubbed himself court-plaster
salesman, was James Russo, one-time
pugilist. These four we knew. Seaman
and one other-a man who had registered
with Tobin at the hotel as G.. Harris
we did not know.
From Detroit we received the informa-
tion that pickpocket there named Harry
Bernstein sometimes used the fictitious
name of Harry Seeman; the description
fitted, and he was not at the time in De-
troit. Bernstein had an associate pick
pocket who answered the description Of
Harris, man named Rosen, who also
was absent from Detroit. The records
OF the TWO Iucn were sent 10 us Will
photographs. We sent the pictures to
Mclaughlin, and they were identified,
that of Seeman by Miss Shanahan and
that of Harris by Mr.. Thornburg.
We knew the six who had robbed the
Peoples Trust Company: Stuart Wallace,
David Minogue, Scott, Russo, Bernstein
and Rosen-these were their true names.
That there were other criminals involved
we knew too, but it was best to work out
the case as we had it, and hope that the
rest would unfold itself.
We knew them. We had now before us
the work Of locating the men, getting
sufficient evidence and then arresting
them. We started first to locate them.
That is why Whitman and I began our
search of the hotels of Hoboken.
While we were busy searching for
Scott and Russo in Hoboken we learned
from Chicago source that Stuart Wal
lace was at the Blackstone Hotel and that
he had in his possession $4,000 worth
of bonds which he was trying to sell In
Chicago. We notified our Chicago Office
and they sent man around to the Black
stone. He missed Wallace by twenty min
utes. The bandit leader had taken the
Twentieth Century Limited for New York
Mclaughlin still was working on the
case in Reading and he was turning ur
new information every day. He learned

into the long hallway and back to the
dining room.
In the dining room we found Wallace
and Rosen in their shirt sleeves. With
them were two women, besides Mrs.
Rosen. They were at dinner, and such
dinner I have never seen, before or since.
They had everything worth eating, and
In quantities. We surprised them CON-
pletely While one of our men watched
the prisoners we searched the house from
one end to the other, but we found no
bonds. We took Wallace into the several
rooms of the apartment to try and per-
suade him to help us in our search. In
bedroom he made sudden dive for the
mattress, but I intercepted him. He was
making a last desperate effort. / looked
under the mattress and found revolver.
If he had reached the gun there would
more than likely have been a battle.
We herded the five to Police Headquar-
ters-Stuart Wallace, James Rosen, Mrs.
Rosen, Lottie Johnson, the blonde girl
who had come from Chicago with Wal
lace, and woman who gave her name as
Sadie Cohen but who really was Mrs.
Harry Bernstein.
When we got them into Police Head
quarters we walked Sol. Girsh before
them 1t was complete surprise. They
gasped. They had not known we were
on their trail Then we marched Bern.
stein in front of them. Mrs. Bernstein
cried out in establishment and confessed
her identity.
Minogue, alias Tobin, turned States
evidence and escaped with five years in
the penitentiary. Bernstein pleaded
guilty and was sentenced to serve twelve
years. Scott, Russo, Wallace and Rosen
were sentenced to serve nineteen and
twenty years each. They are all in the
Eastern Penitentiary at Philadelphia.
Girsh was not tried. We had nothing
with which to convict him.
AS for the bonds-we had found that
$27, 900 worth Of local securities had been
destroyed. We recovered all the rest ex-
cept about $4,000 worth.
