"Pinker ton Is dead!" ran from tier to tier, and the big criminals heaved a sigh of te ller They hope to get out some day, and the fear of Robert A. Plnkerton vtn stronger in their breasts than the fear of the law. They will still have his brother, William, to reckon with, but of tho two sons of Allan Plnkerton, the famous elvlt war' secret servleo man, Robert was the moat feared.

"Robbery after robbery occurred," said William A. Plnkerton recently In discussing this phase of their activity, "but the powerful Influence of the henos and des perate Intimidations made conviction next to Impossible. Farmers supposed to be Inimical to the band and their' friends were terrorised, had their cattle poisoned and maimed and their homes .and barns burned, until practically a reign of terror existed all over southern Indiana." After the Reno brothers had robbed the county treasurer's office at Gallatin, Mo., of $:t),0Cl, Robert A. Plnkerton evolved a scheme which resulted In their first Water loo. John Reno, lAjder of the band, had returned to Seymour, Ind., not fearlag ex tradition from his stronghold. Plnkerton had a detective decoy him to the railway station by a ruse. A train came In on which were si deputies of the Missouri sheriff. They pounced on Reno and pulled him aboard the train. There was no time for habeas corpus or any other legal for mality to prevent his removal. The wires were cut so that no detaining dispatches could get ahead of the train and Reno was kept on the Jump until he was finally landed In Jail at Gallatin. He was sen tenced to twenty years in the penitentiary and served every day of his time. On of the most dangerous bandit pur suits which Robert A. Plnkerton led In person and which will long be remembered at th Plnkerton headquarters followed th first raiding expedition or the James arid Younger brothers. It was on June 3. 1871. that the combined band of outlaws visited Corydon, Wayne county, Iowa, having learned that the county treasurer had a large store of re cently collected taxes. Jesse James en tered th treasurer's otllce, asking for change fr a $100 bill. "Th treasurer has the combination of the safe," said the man In charge, sus pecting nothing, "and he's attending a meeting gut .in the grove. They're talking over th building of a new school house." Jam was going out arter the county offlrlal when th clerk remarked that a new bank had opened across th street, and that, h could probably get chang ther. James led the gang across th street, and at ' th point of their revolver got $18,000. half th bank's capital, which had Just been deposited. As they wer going out th door they met a negro preaoher coming lnto open an account: He had his money In VI hand, and they made him drop It Iqlo tnelr saddlebags. On, their dash out of town they passed th , scan of th public meeting. They Informed th school commute that th Corydon ban had Just been robbed and told th villagers that they'd better hurry back.ta town. oa start " new bank. ' Jess Jasa est.

Just before the miiifI im. was reached all the posse except an Iowa sheriff decided they had had enouarh hard riding and returned home. The sheriff and Plnkerton rode on In. gether as far as Cameron Junction, a crossroad station. There, on the excuse of getting more help, the sheriff turned oacK. Plnkerton rode on alone Into the heart of the bandit country. With his life in his hands he followed th band to the home of the James bovs. In Clav oounty, determined where they had crossed the Missouri river after separating and lo- oatea the old Blue mill, where they all came together again. Having Identified the' robbers', Plnkerton decided to wait for a more favorable opportunity for their cap ture. Three years later Joseph Wltcher, oneof Plnkerton's most trusted detective., was captured by Jess James in th vicinity, bound with ropes and killed while bound. "Bob" Plnkerton never let up on the mem bers of this band, and the three Younger brothers wer finally surrounded in a swamp, captured and sentenced tq life Imprisonment at Stillwater. Minn. "Bob" Younger died In prison In and Cole and "Jim" Younger were pardoned In 1901. Cole committed suicide In St. Paul a year later. Jesse James was shot In the back by "Bob" Ford, a former member of the James gang. Ford was sentenced to tieath. but was pardoned by the gov ernor of Missouri and received the S10.C00 reward which hung over Jesse James' head. Frank James gave himself up and was acquitted of the Gallatin bank j-obbery. Governor Crlttendon refused to surrender him to the Minnesota authorities, and the last "Bob" Plnkerton heard of him ' was that he was leading an honest life In west ern Missouri. One of Robert A. Plnkerton's narrowtsl escapes from death followed his captura of Levy Farrington, one of a band who had held up and robbed a Mobile & Olilo express train near Farmlngton, III. Plnkerton took his man to fnlon City, Tenn., for trial. A "bad man" name. Toler, one of tho members of the suns, attempted to rescuo Farrington. lie bl.ot at Plnkerton, who had the bandit In charge, but the bullet struck and kilUJ an assistant ctty marshal. In an en deavor to escape Toler killed a railroad watchman before he was finally cap tured. A vigilance committee wa rpecdlly formed to lynch Toler and the trln robber. Pinkerton determined to rescue th men, and did succeed in getting t) of the band out of town. The vig llantes.however, shot and killed Farring ton and lynched Tjder. Plnkerton was Instrumental In run ning down th ,chlef of th band who used dynamite on an express car on rlie St. Louts San Francisco railroad in mi. Ha learned that Adalbert Sly, a former driver for th American Express company, waa living In Lo Angele un der th nam of Lelabert Elys.

Once He Was Pooled. "Bob" Plnkerton had perhaps the largest collection of threatening letters ever ad dressed to one man in this country. He saved many of the Interesting ones and shoved them to his friends. No matter how 'dire a fate the letters pictured he wa never disturbed. Among others who threatened hi Ufa In letters wa "Pat" Crowe, who became notorious as the kid naper of Eddie Cudohy, son of the Omaha packer, for which crime he was acquitted, through some strange miscarriage of west ern Justice. Crowe blamed the Pinkertons for his imprisonment for robbing a Chicago, Burlington A Qulncy train, near St. JoHcph. He wrote from the Missouri state prison, but like most of the writers, never followed up his threats. Possessing a ken sense of humor, "Bob" Plnkerton loved a Joke, and U'd not hesi tate to tell a stoty on himself. Shortly before he sailed for Europe he related this tale of a hoax played by four young men who were fellow pussengers on a train from Chicago. "My attention was attracted to the quartet In the smoking compartment of the Pullman," said Mr. Plpkerton, "because three of them wer carefully pouring the drinks which they took from a quart bot tle Into the cuspidore when th fourth was r.ot looking. This fourth fellow had a great deal of valuable Jewelry about his person and was obviously very drunk. I watched their maneuver quietly for soin'. time. '.'Finally to my surprise and Indignation I saw on of trier, take a vial from' hl pocket and pour ten drop into tho drink which was Intended for the chap with the Jewelry. It was the most brax"n and daring case of 'knockout drops' I h;id ever encountered. "Now. you might suppose that It was up to mo right then to 'rut 1n," but It wasn't. A man can't r t the full punishment for 'knockout drops' until they have actually been administered. So I kept my hand o.it of the business Until I could see the end of the play. "The youth who had handled the vial handed the 'doped' drlr.k to the intoxliated chap, who drank It ereedlly. Then he gradually sank Into a stupor, yielding to the effects nf the drug. . His mouth hung open and he was nelpless. Then the threi actually began to atrip their victim of the Jewelry. "I reached th door of the smoking com partment In three Jumps. " 'Pretty coarse work, sons." I said, Just showing them th gun I had In my hands, but not levelling It at them. 'I am sur prised that you are so foolish as to think that you ran get away with th goods In such a fashion. My name Is Plnkerton. and th three of you can consider your selves under arrest.'

" 'Even if Plnkerton wasn't on the train we ought to have known better,' moaned the second youth. " 'What are you going to do with us?' demanded the third. " 'I going to take the lot of you to Jail at the next stop.' I said; 'and I can give it to you pretty Rtralght that your are in a whole lot of trouble.' "Then the 'unconscious victim' could hold In no longer. He, Jumped UP and let out a roar, then he fell back In his seat and fairly ehoi.k with laughter. The other three likewise toppled Into their chalr.i and moaned with Joy. "Well, it ("ddn't need a rear-end collision to make me see ho these four young reprobates had fooled mo.
