THE STAGE COCH ROBBERS, D. Ha Their Up for P! Own Coaches. THE STORIES OF DETECTIVES Men Who Were Wrongly Acoused A Telograph Opérator's Plight ~Spec Boldor's Last Ride. & “Itis the hardest thing In the world said detective from Califorma, ‘“‘to prove man guilty of robbing himsclf, provided he didn't do it.” You can sometimes fasten other crimes on a man whether lie is guiity or not, but in the case of a robbery of this character it is different. I had a job once on the const at nearly broke mo up in business, and all because I was go dead sure of my man, Tho Shasta stage was robbed one day of about $3,500. Old Sam Wilson was driving. He had a long story to tell, and ho told it well, but as he had been held up twice before, and as I was more suspicions in thoso days than I am now, Imade up my mind that he did the job himself. He was alone on the trip, and had been alone on one other occ n when he wasrobbed. 13 cording to his story he was halted on the highway by a couple of shots which passed through the stage, and im- mediately thereafter was pounced upon by three masked men, one of whom clubbed him with the butt of a rifle. When they had secured their plunder they made him mount and drive aw; holding their rifles on him until out of sight. To corroborate his stor could show the holes in the coach where the bullets went through, and I must say ahat he had a welt on the head which he would have had some trouble in inflict ing himself. But in spite of these facts [ made up my mind that there was little use of looking beyond him for the robber. There was something in his demeanor which caused me to suspeet him, and I readily accounted for the holes in the coach on the theory that he probably stood off at a distance and fired through 1t himself, and as for the bruise on his head, he might have got that in a fall. In fact, it might have been the very thing which.put the idea of the robbery into his head, “Old Sam was Inid off, and T kept track of him. At the end of a week he went to San Francisco, and I followed him. Once there I kept him well shadowed. After a few days I noticed him going into a bunk, and when he left I entered to i 1s to his busine: Com- spicjons to the cashier fellow had opened an necount there and had to his credit $4,700. This was enough for me. The excess in the nmonnt over that taken at the last robbery probably represented the proceeds of hia previous thefts. 1 got out a warrant for int{ and soon had him under lock and keys - At his preliminar v examination he dgelaged that he had just inherited this njgney; from a brother. They always have Some yarn ef that kind, and of conrso I didn’t beliove it. But the worst of itsin this case he proved it on me, " He showed conclu- sively how the *money came into his hands, and therd’ywas, not for the court to do but (wh.’ctmrgu him. About a year after that we got s mun for another robbery, who, on*:mxp- ition, confessed that h was onoe gt thtoe who had h up old Wiison. Since that day I never been very sure ofnnything I didn't know."” “That was a queer case of Jeft' Leffe: on the Union Pacific a_few years ago,” putin an operator. *‘He was the oy tor at Bonleton. The Cheyenne Indian wore eavoirmg around at that time, and the country w terribly excited. Tirst a band of savages would go by, Then would come a squadron of cavalry, and then there would be a big pack of “stam- peded settlers. There was some fear as to the trains, and Jeff had been on dut, day and night for 2~ week, the railrond men bringing him his meals, and he ing such sleep as he could in his chair or on his table. He had a safe in oflice, and one night, besides the belonging to the company, he had about $2,000 of government funds there for safe keeping. The next morning ho found gagged and tied in his chair, the safe wide open, and the money all pone. According to his story, four men me in some time after midnight and asked what time the train went west. Being told that it passed at 2:37, and that it did not stop unless signalled, they withdrew for a minute and ' then returned. Locking up to the window, Jeft saw two revolvers aimed at him and a second later his door was broken in and the two other men procceded to bind and g their merc ag him. Finding himsclf at and being threatened with death, he gave up the keys to the safe and saw no more of them. Many opin- ions were expressed on the pomnt of Jof ability to bind and gag himself as he had been fixed. Some held t he could have done it, while others insisted that it was impossible, The detectives came in and made a_close examination of the premises. There was no clue. Jeft could not describe the men, and no one had secn any suspieious chaiaeters around, At leng:h a thorough search of the depot was made and in the corner of the thin foundation was found the greater part of the money that had been stole Jeft was arrested. Two weeks man found in a pile of wood ning the missing spec though Jefl'was in for it, but a friend of his, who i not believe him guilty, kept men on the lookout at the depot every night for a month, under the impression that the real thieves would presently return for their booty. In this surmise he was corrcet. One dark and i e men rode up from no one kpows where, hitched their borses a little ways from the depot, and began ])rnsguu( ng. After a little one of them stole up to the depot and erawled underat, That was enough for Jefl’s friends, 'hep gave a whoop seized the robbersghotkes, and when the thieves took to their heels they wentufter them, shooting us They galloped. It was the livel scene ever witnessed there, but the night was dark and the pursnit was soon abandoni¢d. | The next morning they found the deajl bedy of one of the robbers about half » mile from the depot.

Boston cspondence 2 Mail and Express: Talking with a lead- ing publisher who knows the ms and outs of ‘tho trade, Lo said to-day: “Somoe Inghly-colored and wholly ‘unreliable statements have been circulated as to the number issued of Mr. Blaine’s great vo- litical book and his profits from it.
