On Wednesday thieves discovered the hole in which he had the large sum of money hidden and made away with it. They fafled, however, to discover $2,500 in gold and nearly $10,000 in currency | that he had secreted in the old log | structure that has been his home. Yes- | terday he was carrying that around | with him, the gold in a glass jar and the currency in a tin coffee can, Barnett’s withdrawal of the $17,000 from the bank and its subsequent hid- | ing in the hole on his place came as a | result of a court order to vacate the | place in favor of other heirs. Two ' cousins for whom he had cared for 30 years had left the place to him, he said, but he failed to have the deed properly recorded, so was ordered :to relinquish his claim to it & The sudden departure from his little | home near Riggs road and the Balti- | more & Ohio railroad tracks came as 55,00 NEW YORK SUNDAY, MAY 27 Special Through Train Direct to Penna.
