Mr. St. John , the general manager of time
road went -In IJersOn to the pellentary to
tOke Plunkctt's statement , which was II et-
oct that he Iwew the mel who luau ! com-
mited the robbery and killed Nichols. and
was rIhiIng to sell this Informatol In exchange -
change for n full pardon , which the railroad
Ileolile ) could secure by using tholr inilumomuce.
This they promlsell to to , It his story Ilrov11
true , amid 1Iunk tt then told ! them of a Plot
that had been worked out a year or so be
fore , when he had been "grafting' ' with a
"mob" of plclepockets at county fairs. There
were with him nt that time "Butch" Mc-
Coy , Jamps Connors ( kmuovii as ' 'Yellow-
hammer" ) . and a man Iamed ' 'Jeff , " whose
stm name he did not Iwow. These three
men , 1Iunitett mid , hat planned an express
robbery on the Hock Island road , to be execute -

precisely the same point al the ronul . as In
time case In qdeation.
BDTOt TURNS D TI C'IVE.
Time story was plausible and won ! r. St.
John's belief , I won the hhIef . also , of
: Ir. Melville E. Stone of the Daly News ;
and forthwith , thc railway ( letectlVes . work-
iuig with the' newspaper detcctive , were
Instructed to go ahead on leI lines , regardless -
gardless of trouble or expense. Their first
endeavor was to capture "Butch" Mccoy ,
the header of the gan" "Butch" was a
pickpocket , burglar and all around thlet ,
whose opcratons ! ItCt him traveling nil

'fhe police In various cites haYing been
communicated with I to t Ie , pumpos , Mr.
' decided to- do thing the like
Stone finally tote a lke
ot whIch no newspaper proprietor , prhaps ,
ever undertook h2fore , that ts , start out on L
a personal search for McCoy and his : SS0-
elates. Wih Frank Murray , one b the best
detectve9 In Chicago and other deteclves ,
ho went to Galesburg , where the gang was
said to have a sort or adquarters. The
party found there none or the loon they were
after , but they learned thaI "Thatch" Grady
a notorious criminal with whom "Dutch"
McCoy was known to be In rela\10ns. \ was In
Omaha , So they hurried to Omaha , but only
to find thaI Grady had gene to St. Louis ,
Then to St. Louis went Mr. Stone and his
detectives . hol on the scent , and spent soy
ral days In that city searching hIgh and
low .
SEARCH AS FAR AS NEW UltblANi
The method of locating n criminal In a
great cIty Is as Interesting as It 19 i lIttle un-
tcrstool ) . The first step Is to secure from the
locl l police information : s to the favorite
haunts of criminals ot the class under pur-
suit , paying special regard : In the preliminary
Inquiries i to th posslblty ! , of love affairs ; for
t th'eves eVAn more than : honest men , are
Ewayed In their lives by the tender passIon ,
and are often brought to justice through the
aency of women. Wih , so much of such tn-
f crmaton In their po.sesslon as they could
Eather , Mr. Stone and his detectives spent
theIr time In likely resorts , picking up ac-
qualntancG with frequenters ; and , whenever
possible , turing the talk adroitly upon the
man they were looking [ or. I Is a mistake
to i sUPJSi that In work like this detectIves
disguise themselves. False beards and mous-
taches , goggles and lightning changes ot
clothlnE are never heard at except In the
pages or badly informed story writers. In his
expeience at over twenty-fve years Mr.
Murray never wore such a disguise nor knew
ot any reputable detective who did. In
this expeditIon the detectives simply assumed
the characters alum ! general style of the per- I
lens they were thrown wih ; passing for
mon m ot sporting tastes et the cast , and , hav- I
Ine h satisfied limo people they met that they
meant no imarm they had imo difficulty In
obtalnllE such news ot McCoy and time others
af' timers vas . Unfortunately this was not
much.
After going from ono cIty to another on
varIous chews hearing of one member ot the
gang here and another there and In each I
Instance losing their man , the detectives !
finally brought lP In New Orleans They I
hall spent five or s'x weeks 'ot time and a
large amount of money , only t.o find them- I
selvon absolutely without a clew as to the
whmereabuts of the men they were pursuing
They were much discouraged when a tele
gram fr'm ' Mr PInkerton tohl them that
"Buteh" ! l'lcCoy was back In Galesburg ,
where they hall first sought him Proceed-
hog thiher with all dispatch , they traced
McCoy Into I mualoon and there three at
them , John Smith representing the Rock
Island ] railroad . John McGinn for time Pinkerton -
erton agency , and Prank Murray working ]
for Mr. [ Stone with drawn revolvers , captured
hIm In spl ot 0 desperate dash he made to
ebCape.
McCoy's capture was time occasion of much
telclaton ameng the people interested In the
matter . Mr. St , John and Mr. Stone were
conflent , that nol the whole mystery ot the
express robbery would be solved and the
mnumrderer.s . convIcted. nut McCoy showc
on trial that hI hall heft New Orleans to
come north only the night before the murder ,
murler
and had spent limo whole of that night on the
iinoi Central raiiroaul . I also appeared
that McCoy's associate , Commnors . was In Jai
at the time of the robhery , and that the man
"Jeff" was dead . 'fhus the whole Ilunleel
story was exploded ,

SCIWAHTZlECTS . TO Pf.AY DETEC- !
After talklnl with tht brakeman : In a semI-
confdental way for Mme time , thc detective
began to question him about Watt , hIs fellow
trainman. Schwartz salll ho was I good follow -
low , and , In genernl spoke highly of Mm , ,
Mr. Plnleerton seemell to hesitate n little , and I
tht said :
"Can , , , I trust you , Schwartz ? "
" "

"Well , the tact Is . I am a little suspIcious
of \'uutt. You see , his story about that hand

don't want to 110 hm any wrong but he must
be looked after . Now my Idea Is to have you
go about wih him ns mueh ns you can , see
It ho meets any strangers or spends much
fluency , amid let ma know whatever hallpens. ,
Wi you do I ? "
Schwartz readily consented on Ule oasur-
alice that the railroad People would gIve
him leave of ahsence. The next day ho cc-
Ilorted that Wnl hind met a man who wore
a 810/ch hat , hall unlempt red hair , amid In

ol'erhearll the two talking together In a sa-
loon on Cottage Grove a"cnle. where lIme
stranEer hall ! dIscussed time murder of Nich-
ole In great detaIl , showing a remarlchle fa-
milarity with time whole affair. Schwartz had
a sort of Jesse James theory ( which he
sleme,1 , anxious to have accepted ) that the
crime hall been commilell by a gang of
western desperadoes , ali that this fellow was

Schwurtz's efforts . Mr. Pinkerton sent him
out to track the fabulous desperudo. Schwartz

without a word to arouse his stmeplciomi he
was allowed to resume his work on time ratl-
roae ) .
The "sundown" Put /pon Schwartz after
this reported I suspicious Intmacy between
him and " 'al. and a detective of great tact ,
Frank Jones , was Iletalell to Jot 0 Into their

THE ART OF "SHADOWING. "
To one unfamiliar with the resources and
organization of a great detective '
organizaton detectve s'stem It Is
Incomprehensible how continuotme "shadow-
contnuous
log , " day after day and week after week ,
bhrough thousands of miles ot journeyhmmgs
can bo accomplished . The mater Is made
none time simpler , when you know that llere
must be a change ot "shadows" evdry day.
However adroit the detective . his continued
presence-tn a loc lty would soon arouse sus-
picion. The daly' ' change ot "shadowB" Is easy
when the man lllier watch remaIns In one
place , for then I Is only necessary to send a
new "dhadow" trom the central ot-
flea early each morning to replace d
the one who "put time
man to'
bed" _ A' .La the _ night . . betore. . " . Dut I Is very differ-
, , . wmmen LIlO sUDJect IS
Wlta tle , constantly travelng
bout on boats or railways . and perhaps sleep-
I mig In a diferent town each night. Without
the network ot agencies , Including large and
small bureaus that time Plnltertons have
gradually established all over the United
States , the " "
"shadowing" of a man In rapId
flight woull be Impossible. As I Is , nothIng
Is i easier. nothing
Schwartz for Instance , spent several -
era ! days In Buffalo , where hIs actIons were
reported hour by hour until ho bought his
ticket for PhIladelphIa. As he took the train
a fresh "shadow" took It too , securing a scc-
ton In the same sleeping car wIth him and
taking his meals at time same time Schwartz
took his , either In the dining car or at sta-
tions . No sooner had the train left the staten -
ton than the PInkerton representatives In
Buffalo reported by cipher dispatch to the
bureau In Philadelpimla ] . whither Schwartz
was going. The exact form ot the dispatch ,
whleh well Illustrates a system In use In the
PInkerton bureaus was as follows :
n. J. Linden HI Chestnut Street , PhUa-
. Phln-
dtlphla , Pa. : Anxious shoes sticker Drown
marbles other than droppIng eight arrives

In dispatches of this sort Important information -
formation regarding criminals Is constantly
flashing over the wIres , wih no danger of
any "leak. "
Thus , from ono city to another , and through
every part ot the country , any crIminal may
be "shadowed" today as Schwartz was "shad-
owed" eight years ago , one set of detectives
dotectves
relieving another every twent-tour hours ,
and limo man's every word anti acton 'be
carefully noted down and reported without
hIs having the faintest suspicion that he Is
under observation. The task of "shadow-
Ing" a peron who Is traversing city streets
Is entrusted to men especially sldled In the
art ( for art It 18) ) ot seeing without being
seen. This ls , indeed , one of the most d11-
cult tasks a detective Is called upon to per-
forum , and time tel who excel 1 In I are given
little else to do. Where n criminal like
'
Sehwartz , upon who'se fnal capture much le-
IJents , Is being followed . (10 , three or even

that one relieves he I other b ) change ot un-

confession aiM counted on this to lead to
turther almls loll1 I was therefore , of the
hl"hest Impdrtanb that credible witnesses
should overhe1r all that transpired In the
Interview hetween Schwartz and hIs wife.
Wih this el1'In -'view , the rom where the
Interview wast , toO take place had been arranged -
ranged so that nJnumber of witnesses could
see and hear.d without their presence being
suspected , and the ' sheriff ot the county a

to t the most violent emotions , his wife trying
vainly to quiet him At each affectionate

curse , and go on pacing back and forth
fi ercely. Suddenly he burst out :
"What did you do wih that coat the one
