Mirrors nt street comers to provldo

In at least two towns In England. In
Folkostono thero is nn ncuto auglo
street crossing where ono corner Is
built up closo to tho curb. On this
corner Is placed a 24x2 1 inch mirror
supported on gas pipe standards at
such an angle that drivers of vehicles
coming toward the built-up corner
from either of tho two opposite streets
can seo up tho streets at right an

tho mirror has been fixed ho has not

AD tho plot to rob tho Red
Star express on the Erlo at
Port Jarvis, Now York,
some twenty years ago suc
ceeded, it would have boon
the greatest haul ever
mado In a train hold-up.
That It did not succeed Is due to the
cunning and faithfulness of an old em

stake played for and so bold wero the
men who planned to take It that the
detective assigned to tho case refused
to boliovo that the attempt actually

is a splendid Illustration of the fact
that no matter how carefully a crime

BOB FUREY'8 STORY.
"The touch-off on the Red Star Ex
press? Do I recall it? Well I should
emlle. That was one of the biggest
and noatest Jobs ever put up In Now
York. It was a hair-raiser from Btart
to finish. A job like that ought to
have been worth a million. It would
havo been but for ono of the unex
pected thingB that como around to
crooks as well as to other people.
I tumbled on the business by acci
dent one afternoon as I was going
from Washington to New York. I was
sitting In the smoker putting away on
a bit of Havana, when a couple of
gents dropped In and took the neat
In front. I did not pay any attention
to them until I overheard them talking
about money bags and gold coin. I
picked up from their conversation that
they were agents for an express com
pany that had a contract for hauling
money for the government, and had
charge of the stuff whllo It was in
transit from Washington to the mint
in Philadelphia or to other eastern cit
ies. This of Itself did not specially In
terest me, but when I heard them talk
about how carelessly the coin was
handled by the agents east of Chi
cago, a territory In which tho cars
were believed to be perfectly safe, I
began thinking a bit Before I reach
ed New York I had made up my mind
to pick up a few additional facts on
this subject. If It turned out as rosy
a these fellows Indicated I would
teach some of them a lesson In the
ait of performing their duty. I learn
ed from them incidentally that th
Red Star Express, on tho Erie, car
ried more money than any other com
pany, and that the agents guarded
$1,000,000 about as closely as the or
dinary citizen would a nickel.
I gave these citizens a silent vote
of thanks when wo parted. Imme
diately afterward I began nn official
Investigation. I had learned the trado
of machinist when I was a young fel
low, 60 the first thing I did was to
make application for a job In the Erlo
rnllroad repair shops In Jersey City.
While working on tho car I got ac
quainted with Pop Thompson. He was
called Pop because of his general good
nature, and not because he wns old. I
made myself as friendly with him ns
I could. I found out where ho lived
In Lafayette, N. Y., a littlo station up
the line a ways. I hired a room In a
boarding house near him. Wo met
very often, and he seemed to take
a fancy to mo. After a whllo ho talk
ed qulto freely about his business,
though It was always about trips that
ho had made and never about trips
that he was going to tako.
When I got this far into tho Bcheme
I called In Johnny Dobbs, Big Jim
Brady, Walt. Herrick and Pete Dur-
I and, four of the wisest crooks that
over lived, and put them onto Pop and
his car, with the Idea that ono of
them would stick to him every day and
go away with hlra on every trip to get
the run of tho business. In this way
I Johnny Dobbs picked up In Chicago
that Pop had a weak side. In short,
I ho was leading a double life. Nothing
could havo suited me better, for that
; gave me a chance to pull him Into tho
traces.
There was no longer any use of my
working In the shop, bo I quit and
wont to Chicago to wait for Pop to
turn up. It was some weeks before he
landed there, but I fixed it so that I
would meet him coming out of his
home No. 2 In Chicago, which gave
me a chance to call htm down.' He
was not as much surprised as I
thought he would be, and It was not
unUl ho got ready to return home that
ho suggested that It would be well to
keep quiet what I had seen.
I promised never to mention It, and
returned with Pop. It was the first
show that I had to throw out any
feelers. I gently, rather playfully,
hinted that Pop was carrying a large
amount of monoy for other people, and
it was a wonder to me that nono of it
had ever stuck to his fingers. Pop
manifested more Interest in this talk
than I had ever hoped for. Ho said
he was tired of working for nothing.
Ho hinted that If I could suggest any
plan to make a big roll of monoy ho
was willing to listen. Then I gave
him the Idea, cold and plain, of hitting
a rap at tho Red Star car.
Pop drank In all that I Raid like a
very thirsty man, agreed to meet mo
the next day and give mo his views.
He was on deck at the appointed time,
and promised to furnish mo with the
information about tho car and itB load
of coin, It I would do tho rost of tho
work and fix It up so nothing would
point to him. This soemed all right.
If the thing was pulled off he could
got his share of the boodle and quit
his Job when he felt like it. Ho was

willing to mako tho dust, but bad been
trained so long on Uio honest line that
ho could not become a full-Hedged thief
at a Jump.
Pop went nlong In the regular wny,
as It was nrrnnged that we wero not
going to make tho strike until tho
fall shipment of gold tu CiiTuigu. Tliu
time was left to Pop to select. Wo
got the tip on Monday, that on the
following Wcdnosday night tho Red
Star car would go out from tho Erlo
depot with the big load of shiny met
al. Wo fixed up overything to carry
out our trick. I had a long tnlk with
Pop. Ho was so inquisitive about all
the details of robbery, and Insisted up
on knowing overything that we wero
going to do before hand, that I became
Busplcious of him.
Ono of the gang had been on hts
track every day without his knowl
edge, and had never seen or heard
anything wrong, so I thought mnybo
I was not fair with Pop to doubt him.
After thinking It all over I concluded
that the safest way to deal with Pop
would bo to fool him by giving him a
ghost story about tho details. I told
him tho train would bo flagged nbout
five miles west of Port Jervls and
tho safes dumpod from the car. A
wagon would bo In roadlness to tako
tho safes. They would then be blown
open on the road. The plan was to
bury the gold In a safe place and
cart nway only tho greenbacks.
Wednesday night came. Tho car
pulled out of tho depot with Pop on
the first watch and his partner In tho
sleeper. Tho gang were all In the
smoker. After wo got in motion Pop
let uu into the car. We started nt
once on the big safe and had no trou
ble getting Into It. Pop, of course
did not know the combination. We
got out tho small safes there were
four of them and they wore very
heavy. Pop eald the cargo was near
ly all gold and the prospoct was very
bright.
A few miles this Bide of Port Jor
vis, at a place ngreed upon, and about
ten miles from where Pop had been
given to understand that tho robbery
would take place, I gave tho signal.
We forced tho door of tho car and
dumped the safes whllo wo wero go
ing at full speed. About a quarter
of n mile beyond, a red light was
waved In front of tho engine The
train stopped. We Jumped when the
train slacked up, and the red light dis
appeared. Wo put Pop to sleep In
the car with a tap on tho head and
closed the door, so that nothing was
known of tho robbsry until tho train
reached Port Jervls. Then we had a
hustle for fair." -
DETECTIVE M'QUILLAN'S STORY.
I was sitting In my office lato ono
afternoon when a messenger called
and said that a detect lvo was wanted
ut the office of Wells, Fargo & Co. for
special business. When I got to tho
express ofilue I wns told what seemed
to me to bo a very fishy story nbout
an attack that was going to bo made
upon the Red Star money car.
The tip that the robbery was going
to como off had been given to the
company by Il:o Thompson, who wont
by tho name of "Pop," ono of the
LkbI agents in ths express car service,
but I thought that thero must bo n
mistake In It somewhere. His story
was that whllo ho was In Chicago on
one of the regular trips he went to the
house of his sister-in-law, and when
he loft he was accosted by a fellow
whom he had known In Jersey City
as Luke Sanderson, one of tho work
men in tho Erio Railroad shops.
In some way or other Sanderson had
sot the Idea that tho woman Thomp
son had called upon was his wife. San
derson knew that Thompson wns mar
ried and had a family In Lafayette,
N. Y., and he took pains to suggest
to Thompson that It would go very
hard with him If the company should
learn that he wan not living on the
level, as ho wns earning hardly enough
money legitimately to run two homes.
Thompson did not stumblo to what
SunderBon was driving at until they
WGro on tho way back to Jersey City,
going with an empty money car, when
Sanderson suggested that there was an
easier way to mako a fortuno than
working for It.
Thompson is a very foxy fellow, and
determined to lead Sanderson on with
the belief that he was ready to go Into
anything that would pay big money,
and he managed his part of the affair
so well that Sanderson never dropped
to the fact that ho was being Jollied.
I was not sent for until several
days or weeks afterward, as Thompson
and tho official were not any too
anxious to divide the honors In the
case, 'as success made a big thing for
all the company's employes who figur
ed In the case. Thompson had several
Interviews with Sanderson, and from
what he said had got him worked up
to a high pitch over tho robbory and
the gang wore anxious to spring the
trick.
I listened to the tale, and was very
skeptical. I did not bellevo that any
top-notch crooks would have gone Into
such a scheme with Thompson without
first being assured that thero was no
possible chance of a throw-down.
I asked for a sight of tho crook, to
see if I knew him. A meeting was ar
ranged, at which I was present, and
when I got my peepers on the bold
Sanderson my old heart gavo a
thump, for I recognized him at a
glance as Bob Furey, a crook on both
sides of tho ocean In somo first-class
Jobs.
Thompson was to figure only as a
second flddlo In tho transaction, and
was to get an oven share In the swag
with tho others when tho monoy was
divided. It waB not necessary for him
to have n knowlodge of tho details of
tho plans which Furey had put up to
work off the money bags. Tho gang
wanted n big boodle, and so long as
wo wero on to their gamo I suggested
that wo should not glvo tho gnng tho
tip until thero was really a big load
of dust on board tho cxpross car, just
to glvo tho gang tho laugh when thoy
got the throw-down for losing Buch
a dandy bundle.
Tho day was flnnlly set for thn rob
bery. Thompson succeeded In getting
all tho details, so that it mado the
work dead easy on paper. The -signal
to hold up tho train, it was ar
ranged, would bo given after leaving
Port Jervls on tho Erlo railroad, which
would bo tho signal for us to do our
lltllo act and land tho gnng.
Tho train with tho Red Star car was
booked to lcaro tho Erlo dopot at 0
o'clock in tho evonlng, and In the
morning I sont four men to Port Jervls
to tnko up a position whore tho rod
light was to bo given at night. I got
a tclcsrsm that l!ty '! landed all
right and In the evonlng, when tho
train pulled out of tho depot, I was
aboard with six lusty fellows, who
would rather fight Uian cat.
I saw Thompson before tho train
started but did not speak to him. Ho
Indicated by a nod of tho head that
their gang were on board the train In
tho front care, and everything looked
rosy. The trnln pulled out on time,
and wo went humping along at a live
ly rate, as we wero on tho fast ex
press. I had given instructions to my
men what to do when we got to the
holdlng-up place,
I knew every foot of tho ground on
Uio Erlo, and when wo got within a
few miles of Port Jervls I began to
feel just a littlo bit nervous. Whllo
I wns running all tho details of tho at
tack ovor In my mind the train slow
ly pulled up, but did not come to a
full stop. I looked out of tho win
dow, but did not Bee anything. In a
moment wo wero pushing up tho hill to
Port Jervls at full speed. When wo
pulled up at the littlo depot I jumped
off the car to take a final look at
things, and as I passed tho Red Stnr
dar I heard a moan. I listened and it
wns repeated several times. I could
not understand It, but I felt that some
thing had gono wrong.
I did not want to mako a foolish
break of any kind, so I first went to
the engineer and aBked him what ho
had stopped for beforo reaching Port
Jervls. Ho said that he saw a red
light swinging on tho track, nnu
slowed up. Tho light had disappeared
before ho got to it, and ho could not
understand It I knew tho meaning of
It, and Baw the game in a second. The
gang had fooled Thompson by giving
him a wrowj description of what was
going to be done. This was verified
when I reached the Red Star car. Tho
lock had been broken off, and Inside
the car was Thompson, lying on his
back well done up.
He was partly conscious, and knew
enough to tell that tho thieves had
fooled him, and had dumped the safes
on the track about three miles east
of Port Jervls. They had Jumped off
tho train when It slowed. But if
Thompson had been fooled he had
fooled the gang also, for he had flung
tho kit of tools which waB to be used
to open tho Bafes off tho car, and it
was dollars to doughnuts they would
not be ablo to find thorn.
I got an engine nt the dopot, and in
ten minutes I waB on tho way back
with my men. Beforo reaching tho
place I noticed lanterns flashing along
tho track, and I ordered tho onglneer
to run past the lights a half inllo or
so beforo slowing up. As wo went
by tho spot I saw the gang at work
carrying tho safes to a wagon. We
stopped after turning n curve und
started back on foot.
The thieves, I concluded, had dis
covered the loss of tlie tools, and In
stead of trying to open tho safes had
decided to carry them away and break
them up nt their lolsuro. When we
got back to tho plnc6 the gang were
about ready to movo and I ordered my
men to wait until thoy all got Into the
wagon beforo making the attack.
Wo stood In tho shadow of tho trees
on tho roadside until tho wagon came
up, and then I gavo the signal. Ono
man seized tho horse's head and
turned htm Into a fence, and the rest
of us covered the gang with gunB.
Two of tho gang Jumped and were
shot, Tho others threw up their hands.
We took tho whole outflt to Port
Jervls, and Wnlt. Herrick dlud on the
way. Durand was shot In tho chest,
but recovered In time for the trial.
With tho conviction of Johnny Dobbs,
Jim Brady, Dob Furey and Pete Dur

Tho nakedness or American pergo

Even In countries so poor as Greece
