BELLE. With unfailing regularity Jules
Santon had driven his handsome
motor car tip to the door of the
Stirete hank in Marseilles once a
week precisely at 2 o'clock.
One of the most trusted servants
of the bank, it had been his duty to
drive another trusted servant. Mon
sieur Bcnot, from the chief office of.
the bank in Marseilles to one ot its
local branches with a supply of gold
and notes securely fastened in a
strongly-bound bank box.
Precisely at 2 o'clock on January
.19. 1910. Tules Santon drove the
bank's car up to the side entrance of
the head office. A fine stinging snow,
driven by a bitter north wind, cut in
to the faces of those who were com
pelled to be out. Jules himself with
his large motor coat, cap and gog
gles, could hardly be seen, so well
had he protected himself against the
weather.
Monsieur Benot, accompanied by
another bank official, quickly came
down the steps and crossed the
snow-covered pavement with their
Trerinii box hetween them. As soon
1 as the box was safely placed in the.
r the sernnrl hank official
hurried out of the biting cold, while
Monsieur Benot prepared to make
himself comfortable for the half
hour's journey before him. But that
journey was to be delayed for the
first time in his memory.
From out of the bank building
there dashed a young man in the
uniform Nof the bank's messengers,
waving to Jules Santon not to start.
"What is it?" asked Monsieur
Benot.
"The manager wants to see you
before you go," said the messenger.
"Get inside the car, and keep an
eye on that box, Jules," said Mon
sieur Benot. "I shan't be more than
a few minutes."
In his hurry he did not notice as
he went up the bank steps the cus
tomer who went quickly out of the
swing doors and crashed into him.
Together the two slipped on the
snow and rolled on to the pavement.
i "A thousand pardons, monsieur!
cried the stranger, quickly rising, and
flefping up Bcnot. "I was in a hur
ry, and was not looking where I was
going."
"The fault is mine," smiled Benot
in return. "I, too. was in a hurry."
L, Polite Stranger.
: The two, in a typical French man
ner, brushed the snow off each oth
er's clothes, and parted with mutual
apologies for their carelessness. The
bank official had just entered the
vestibule after these few minutes'
delay, when the messenger who had
called him away came dashing up
breathless.
"Oh, sir, I'm sorry to have trou
bled you. An important customer
has called to see the manager, and
he has instructed me to say he will
see vou immediately on your re
turn." With a grumble at his wasted time,
Benot turned and entered the bank
car again, while the driver left his
charge of the precious box, and re
sumed his position at the steering
wheel. In another moment the two
were rapidly on their way to the
branch bank.
' At the branch bank Benot's arrival
was expected, as it had been week in
and week out for several years, and
an official at once came out of tha
bank and helped him to carry in the
heavy box from the bank's car. Fol
lowing the usual routine, the branch
cashier opened the box with his du
plicate set of keys, and took out the
two large bags it contained and the
. package of bank notes. He opened
: the first bag and gave a horrified x
'. clamation as he pulled out a handful
of small stones. Hurriedly he
' opened the other bag. That, too,
was filled with stones. The bundle
of notes was nothing more than a
bundle of common paper cut to the
sice of bank notes.
"Good heavens 1" cried Benot.
"The bags were filled in front of my
eyes, and the notes put in the box
by myself. It was locked in front of
me, and has never been out of my
sight or Stanton's. There was $300,
000 in notes and gold this time, more
than usual."
vHe and the cashier hurried out to
the waiting car. Jules Santon had
disappeared.
'Without the loss of a moment the
head office was telephoned to and
the police promptly informed, while
instructions were given that noth
ing was to be touched any further
till the latter had irrived. At 4
o'clock Dr. Dalthazard, one of the
most famous - criminologists and
scientific detectives in France, ar
rived on the scene and took charge
of the investigation, an investigation
which was only to take a few hours,
bnt was to prove one of the most
wonderful in the whole history of
crime.
Chauffeur's Body.
. His first step was to examine the
waiting car, which had not been
toadied in any way till his appear
ance. He at once made the discov
ery of the body of the missing chauf
ieur wedged out of sight between
die back of the rear scat and the
Jack of the car. The unfortunate
man was quickly carried into the
bonk and there examined by the de
tective. .."This U the man who drove you
$iere?" he asked Benot.
"Yes," replied the latter. J
1 '""When did you get heref"
I "A little over half an hour ago
I answered the bank official.
"Impossible l" cried Balthazard.
LEliSJ5n as been dead two hours,
He couldn't possibly have driven you
here.
Benot was too astounded to pro
test. He could have sworn that he
had been driven by Jules. In a daze
he followed the detective back to
the car. The latter made an ex
tremely thorough examination of the
motor, going over it inch by inch,
the detective continually making
notes of his observations. The steps,
doors, windows and floor were gone
over minutely. His filial act was to
raise the cushions and look in the
compartments beneath them. From
one he took a cap, muffler and coat
identical with the ones the dead man
was wearing.
"I suppose these are a duplicate
set belonging to Santon? he asked.
"Certainly not!" replied Benot ex
citedly. "I am absolutely sure he
hadn't any other motor clothes than
those he was wearing."
The detective looked puzzled. It
was clear to him that somehow or
other Jules Santon had been mur
dered while in charge of the bank's
car, and after his body had been
thrust out of sight behind the seat,
his pace had been taken by some
one dressed in duplicate clothes.
But when was he murdered?
"Did you notice anything peculiar
in any way about Santon when he
drove you here? Did he stop or
slow up anywhere, for instance?"
asked the detective.
"No," replied Benot. "We fol
lowed our usual routine exactly."
"Tell me everything that hap
pened, no matter how trivial, from
the time you saw the gold and notes
put in the box till you saw it opened
here," said the detective.
Face Lights Up.
As soon as Benot came to the in
cident of his recall to the bank by
the messenger, and the accidental
collision with the bank's customer,
the detective's face began to light up.
"Oh, I begin to see. That acci
dent wasn't quite so accidental as it
appeared," he said. "I suppose you
don't know how long you left San
ton in the car?"
"As it so happened. I can tell to
the minute," replied Benot. "I looked
at my watch when we were about
to start, and it was just a quarter
past two. When I entered the car
for the second time I again looked
at my watch mechanically, and it
was 22 minutes past."
seven minutes and just over two
hours ago Good heavens, we are
dealing with some clever criminals.
In that seven minutes the chauffeur
was murdered, his body thrust out of
sight and another box substituted for
the one containing the notes and
gold. It was one of the criminals,
disguised as the dead man, whb
drove you here."
The detective was frankly puzzled
over the chauffeur's death. His
first examination had convinced him
that he had net been strangled, pois
oned or drugged. There were no
marks on his throat nor any signs of
how he had been killed, in fact. But
his second examination brought to
light the way he had been killed,
and it was as remarkable as the rest
of the whole affair. He began to go
over the dead man's head and face
with a magnifying class, and in only
a lew minutes a small clot of blood
on the hair at the top of his head
attracted his attention. He parted
the hair, and there, in the skull, was
a small hole only about the sixteenth
of an inch in diameterl The dead
man had been murdered by some
fine small-steel weapon, which had
been driven vertically through the
top of his head. From this wound
the detective obtained an important
clue to the identity of the murderer.
"We'll now drive back to the head
office," he said. "I think I have
found out all I want to know here.
You had better come with me, be
cause I shall want to know exactly
where the car stood outside the bank
and other details," he added to
Benot.
The detective, with a number of
police officials, made a careful ex
amination of the side street in which
the dead chauffeur had been mur
dered. Luckily there had been very
little traffic down the street that day,
and the fine snow which had been
falling had left practically un
touched the marks of the big . car in
the snow.
"That's what I expected to find,"
said Balthazard, pointing .to the
tracks of a car running parallel
to and close those of the bank
car. He gave certain instructcions
to two of his assistants, and care
ful measurements and particulars
were soon taken of the track of the
strange car. Unfortunately this
track was lost in the traffic in the
main road, but from the marks left
in the side street the detective
strengthened the theory he had al
ready found. To the puzzled Benot,
who had followed every one of his
movements there seemed no discov
eries of real importance to make,
save that the trusted servant of the
bank, Santon, had been murdered in
a most mysterious and remarkable
way. The detective, however, seemed
to be getting cheerier every minute
as he went over the ground so care
fully. "We'll now finish up from where
we started," he said, "and then per
haps we shan't be long before we
nut our hands on the men we want.
Five or six people have been con
cerned in it."
By the orders of the police all the
bank employes had been gathered
into one room, and no one was al
lowed to leave the bank on any ex
cuse. The first thing the detective
did, however, when he saw the man
ager was to say: leu everybody to
carry on and finish their day's work
as quickly as possible, and tell them
then they can eo home, he said.
As soon as his request had been
complied with he said to the mana
ger: "Monsieur Benot tells me you
sent for him just after he had left
the bank with the stolen box. What
did you want to see him about?"
"I sent for him?" answered the
bank manager. "There must be some
mistake."
"But one of the bank messengers
came up and gave me your message
himself," cried Benot. "And after
wards countermanded it because an
important customer had called to
see you."
"I have seen no customer whatever
today," replied the manager.
"Send for the messengers," said
the detective. "Perhaps Monsieur
Benot can identify the one who gave
him the message, though I fancy he
won't be able to do so."
Telltale Pencil.
As a matter of fact the bewildered
bank official was riite positive at
once that none of the messengers
who had been called into the room
was anything like the one who had
spoken to him.
"Precisely as I thought," said Bait
hazard. "We'll now just stroll
through the bank, if you don't mind.
By that time the clerks had settled
down, eager to finish their work and
get away, for the delay had been
matter of some hours. Slowly the
detective passed through the rooms,
apparently talking to the manager
but keenly noting every face and
every desk as he passed by. On the
second floor he entered a room
where there were a number of wo
men clerks working. Beside one the
detective stopped and smiled.
"That's a pretty idea," he, said
pointing to two pencils, one of which
was tied round with red ribbon, an
othsr with blue. "You have an artis
tic soul, m'amselle," he added gal
lantly.
The girl blushed.
"I like my pencils to look pretty,"
she answered, 'and so I tie ribbons
on them.
"Ah, I see you have one tied with
yellow ribbon on the window sill,"
added the detective.
"Oh, I must have forgotten that!
and the girl made a movement to
pick it up, but the detective was
quicker. Seizing her wrist with
grip of steel he dragged her away
from the window. A
"Have her taken into a quiet room,
and guarded by one of my men," he
said, and then as an after-thought,
"and see it is a room where there
are no windows. Don t let her go
anywhere near windows till I come
back. I've found all I wanted here,
but don t let the staff go after all,
I shall be back in a couple of hours
at the most.
tsetore the astonished manager
could say anything further, the de-
tective had hurried out of the bank
with one of his assistants, after leav
ing final instructions that the pencil
with the yellow ribbon was not to
be touched in any way. Just as it
was propped up against the window,
so it as left.
When Dr. Balthazard returned,
accompanied by the chief of the
Marseilles police, he was able to
give the latter, as well as the bank
manager, sufficient information to
arrest the murderer of the unfor
tunate chauffeur, as well as to trace
the missing notes and gold. In an
amazingly short time he had not
only reconstructed the main out
lines of this remarkable crime, but
was able to give a description of the
authors.
"In the first place, I knew as soon
as I heard the outlines of the, story
that the robbery must have been
planned for some considerable time,"
he began, tor it depended so much
upon knowing the exact movements
of Benot and the dead chauffeur that
it could hardly have been one car
ried out on the spur of trie moment.
The fact that an exactly similar box
was substituted for the original one,
and that the clothing of the chauffeur
was so closely imitated as to deceive
even Benot proved how everything
had been carefully planned.
"The next thing that struck me
was that the day chosen for the rob
bery was, as your branch manager
informed me, one on which a'larger
consignment of notes and gold than
usual was being sent. That pointed
clearly, to my mind, that those who
had planned the robbery had a con
federate inside the bank, and tnat
was why I immediately told one of
my assistants to phone you and keep
all your staff and even yourseit m
one room till I investigated further."
"Why, you even suspected mel
cried the manager.
"Oh. no." smiled the datective. "I
merely knew someone in the bank
was a confederate, and that s why i
kent all there till I found out which
particular person it was. It was, of
course, the girl with the pretty De-
ribboned pencils.
"Well. I think there are five peo
ole at least in this affair. First of
all there is Santon's double; second
ly, there is the bogus messenger;
thirdly, there is the polite stranger
who knocked Benot down in the
snow and spent those valuable min
utes detaining him and apologizing
profusely while the chauffeur was
being killed; fourthly, there is tnc
pretty girl with her pretty pencils,
who. bv the means of them, gave
the signal that everything was fa
vorable for the robbery; and, finally,
German "Houdini" Plans to Rob Express Car
But Nearly Suffocates in Trunk Instead
By FRANK E. MASON.
Berlin, July 23. "Spectacular me
thods in burglary are all right for
the movies, but after this. I am going
to stick to the safe and sane old
fashioned second-story man rules,"
sighed Max Arndt after his attempt
to rob an express car by an amateur
Houdini trunk act landed him in
jail.
Max-and Paul Arndt, burglars,
Ltd., conceived the idea of Max per
mitting himself to be locked into a
good-sized wardrobe trunk, accom
panied by a full set of burglars' tools.
Brother Paul then shipped Max
from the Berlin railroad station to
Spandau. It was agreed that during
the trip Max was to open the trunk;
step out and rob the other trunks i
the express car.
It might hav worked smooth
except that the Arndt brothers for
got to take the precaution of boring
a couple of holes in the trunk for
air. Before Max could liberate him
self he had exhausted the air in the
trunk and fainted. Railroad officials
became suspicious because of the
weight of the baggage and forced
it open. When Max had been re
suscitated he stepped out smilingly
and bowed with the announcement
that he was a vaudeville artist try
ing out a new Houdini trick.
He . might have gotten away with
(lis sleight-of-hand alibi, but his black
magic didn't include a chapter on
hiding burglars' kits up his sleeve,
and nt was told to tell it to the
judge. Max did. So did Paul The
judge told them that they might
continue their legerdemain with a
year's course in tha fcjutentiarj,
there is .the man in the other car
which drew up beside the bank car.
There may have been other confed
erates, but there were at least five."
Balthazard Explains.
"But how did you hit on the eirl
so quickly?" asked the bank manag
er.
"Partly luck, partly detective in
stinct," returned Dr. Balthazard. "I
knew when you you told everybody
as soon as they had finished their
work they could go, that all would
work quickly and forget for the
moment. I staked on that forgetting,
for I was on the lookout for some
thing unusual, something that would
have been forgotten. And surely a
pencil standing by a window with a
piece of yellow ribbon is unusual!
Most people who use pencils throw
them down carelessly, and don't bal
ance them carefully against a win
dow, especially where they can be
seen from the outside.
"I left orders that the pencil was
not to be moved, and I went outside
to see from where I could see it
best. The only place where I could
see it plainly was from the upper
windows of the tall building oppo
site. I made inquiries there and I
found that the only newcomers in
the last few months were two men
who posed as agents for a South
American rubber company. I entered
their office, but they were out, as
I expected, and there was very lit
tle sign of the business they were
supposed to be carrying on. How
ever, from their window I had an
excellent view of the lead pencil
with the yellow ribbon. And from
the caretaker I have obtained an ex
cellent description of the two men,
who are now being watched for, un
known to themselves, by the police.
Doubtless they will be caught be
fore the news of the robbery and
murder leaks out into the papers
even. (
"The car use4 was a big touring
car, olive green in color, with a
deep scratch on the left hand side,
and the running board removed on
that side as well.
"Good heavens, how did you know
that?"
"Because the slashboard of the
bank car had on it a large shaving
of green paint where the other car
had scraped against it. lhe length
of the wheelbase and the closeness
of the wheel tracks to those of the
bank car showed me that It was a
big. car, and to have got so close
must have had its running-board
removed.
"How was Santon murdered?"
asked the bank manager.
"He was murdered bv a shoe
maker, and with a shoemaker's tool,
an awl! came the astounding reply.
How did you know that?
"That again is simple. I have
studied wounds of all kinds for
years, and 1 knew as soon as 1
found it that the wound in the top
of his head was caused by sqme fine
steel instrument like an awl. I de
duced it was a shoemaker's awl
after an examination of finger prints
on the window ot the banks car.
Among them was arint of a thumb,
showing a 'corn' on the outer part
of the first thumb joint. This is a
pecularity of a shoemaker's thumbs,
a fact well known to anybody who
has made a study of finger prints."
1 hanks to the deductions of the
detective, the two men who posed
as agents for the South American
Rubber company were arrested the
following day on visiting their rooms
m the building opposite the bank.
Large green touring cars are not
too comon, and from the description
of it the police were able to trace
it to the ownership of a retired
army captain named Boudelot.
It transpired that it was Boudelot
who had engineered the crime from
start to finish. He had spent months
planning every detail, and but for
the quickness of Dr. Balthazard he
would have got clear away with his
iooty.
vji ine two men arrested in the
building opposite, one turned out to
be an ex-convict named Charles Le-
conte. While serving a previous sen
tence he had learned the trade of
shoemaker, and he confessed that he
had murdered the chauffeur with a
shoemaker's awl. He added that he
had watched the chauffeur for weeks
before the crime was carried out,
learning exactly -what route he took,
what time he started, what cloth
ing he wore, and little mannerisms,
so that he could mutate him perfect
ly when the occasion arose. Actual
ly a confederate had driven up the
day of the murder exactly as the
detective had said. Leconto had
quickly jumped in and murdered the
chauffeur before he realized the dan
ger, and had then exchanged the
bank box for an exactly similar one
in the green car. It had all hap
pened While a confederate was de
taining Benot by knocking him down
in the snow and apologizing. Its
very daring had made the scheme
successful.
The wrecked girl confederate in
the bank confessed that the ribbons
round her pencils were meant as defi
nite signs. The red ribbon meant
danger, the blue one that the con
signment of gold and noes was
nothing out of the usual, and the
yellow one that the consignment was
greater than usual. Her betrayal of
the bank's trust brought her no gain,
for she died while under arrest.
Boudelot, the master brain behind
the well-planned robbery, committed
suicide before his trial, but his ac
complice, Leconte, was found guilty
of murder and sentenced to death.
The remaining members of the gang
were all captured and convicted.
