(Centinued from Page Two) A Parallel Case Cited

In this connection many believe there is a parallel case in what was known few years ago as the Great Humbold Robbery" At that time the Washington -Aldoka bank at FalvDanks shipped by express fo9r boxes Of sold, consisting e two large and two small boxes Travel ing at the same time as tourists with this gold shipment was Mi. and Mrs. Adams, the former then president of the Adams Express company, and remarking the manner in which the shipment was handled, made the prophecy: Some time we are going to have a loss"
 While on board ship, the gold boxes were stored under q sort of settee iii the purser's room, and out of re- spect to MT. Adams and to show how good the gold was guarded, while the purser was at meals, the mate would pace to and fro in front of the door of the purser's room.
 On reaching Seattle, an express wagon took receipt for the boxes, later taking a receipt in good condi- ton from the Seattle assay office, where the boxes were piled up against the wall and were not opened for some time.
 When the contents of the boxes were examined, it was discovered that a considerable portion of the contents of one of the larger boxes was missing.
 By the time the robbery was dis covered, the Humbolt was away
  off on the Pacific for the North again. The robbery was so large and so much interest was attracted to it, that William Burns, head of the great detective agency of his name, came West from Chicago and handled the case in person.
 Among the passengers on that trip of the Humbolt was a man and very beautiful woman, believed at the time to be the wife of the man. Later, this couple were arrested in San Francisco charged with the theft of the gold and canfessedl They made no particular defense.
 The prisoners described at great length just how the robbery was committed The woman said that she had become we'll acquainted with the purser, and one evening, kept him walking back and forth on the opposite side of the ship, while the man went into the purser's room, pried out the end of one of the boxes, removed the gold, and replaced the end, all within 38 minutes time.
 Later it was found that the confes- sion was all a myth, that the rob- bery never occurred on the Hum bolt, that no end had ever been pried out of any of the boxes, nor could it have been done in the man. ner or time as described, and there had never been time that the purs- CTS room had been unguarded.
