OLDEST BANK IN ALASKA

A Successful
Hiding Place
By JOHN L LARNED
Talking about hiding things in places
no one would sitspeet, the way to do
It is to put them In sueli plain view
that the seeker can look right at them.
A good wajj la to give them to him.
I never felt so much doubt as to my
being atted for detective work as once
when I was fooled by an old woman
crook whom I knew to be guilty of
what I was trying to prove on her.
My chief told me one day that a num
ber of bauknotes had been stolen from
a cashier's drawer, and he wanted me
to get on to the thief. 1 interviewed
the cashier, who told me that a certala
man bad been In the store when he
placed the bills In the drawer and saw
hlui do it. The cashier was called to
the rear for a few minutes, leaving the
man where he was outside the counter.
When he returned the man was gone
and so were the notes.
Fortunately the cashier could give a
pretty accurate description of the bills.
They were all fives, all new and all
on the same bank. The suspected man
was arrested, but nothing was found
on liiiu but a little, silver change. It
was evident that he had got rid of
the bills. I nosed around among his
haunts for awhile. boi>lng to learn
something. At several stores in the
neighborhood I left a description of the
bills and asked the proprietors to let
me know if any of their customers
preseuted one of them.'
Happening In at one of these stores
later on I was shown a bill answering
a description of those stolen. It had
been paid for groceries by an old wo
man who lived near, she receiving $2
or S3 in change. 1 gave the. grocer
another bill for it and took it to the
cashier from whom the money had
been stolen. He Identified it as one of
the lost notes.
Investigation showed me that the old
woman and the man suspected of
stealing the money were known to be
cronies. She was a notorious receiver
of stolen goods, and there could be no
doubt that she was spending the stolen
money. .Doubtless she had the whole
or what was left of it In her posses
sion, for the man who had been arrest
ed for stealing it would not dare carry
or pass any of it himself and would
not be likely to have more than one
confederate in the matter. Added to
this, I was told by one of her neigh
bors that she knew the old woman had
the money in her possession.
1 preiern-u iiul iu mat; iuc vuuuvJ
of making n slip by getting out a
search warrant, so I suddenly appear
ed at the woman's house, locked the
door on the inside and went to work.
Beginning in the garret, I found it pret
ty dark and called on the occupant for
a light She gave me a candle, making
no comment on my proceedings what
ever, taking the trouble to light it her
self. Having finished the garret, rip
ping up loose boards in the floor and
tearing away plastering. I descended to
the second story, where 1 ransacked
every nook and cranny. Being an old
hand at the business, I looked especial
ly iu shoes. In crockery, in stoves—in
deed, in any receptacle where one
would ordinarily not expect a hidlug
place because it was in such plain
view. I stretched an arm up a chim
ney and pulled a lot of soot down on
me, but no bills. Coining on down to
the main floor, I looked in closets, un
der carpets. In everything hollow.
.Having finished this floor. 1 went
through the cellar, extending my can
dle between the joists where they rest
ed on the brick walls and turning over
everything it contained. From the peak
of the roof to the cellar floor nothing
was found.
Going to trie mam uuor. i iuuuu wc
old woman peeling potatoes as uncon
cernedly as if she were not under the
slightest suspicion. Placing the "Pan
die on the table, I sat down on a chair
to rest and think over what I had bet
ter do. I did not think to blow out the
candle, which had burned low. In
deed. it had reached some folded pa
per that had been wrapped around its
bottom to keep it steady in the socket,
which was too large for It
"Are you through with the light?"
asked the old woman.
"Yes. I confess you've beaten me.
I know there are some stolen bank
notes in your vossession, but I can't
find thein."
She blew out the candle and resum
ed her work of peeling potatoes.
"Tell me where the stuff is, mother,"
I added after some thought, "and I'll
get yon off."
"Oh. you'd better go over the house
again. You might find it nest time,
and you may do enough damage to
make it pay me to collect from you."
She gave me a knowing look when
she said this. 1 knew It meant some
thing. but I was a trifle slow In inter
preting it.
"Oh, yes." 1 snid presently. "You
should be paid for the damage I've
done. IIow would one of the bills suit
you?"
"It's worth two of 'em."
"All right Tell me where yoifve
got the bills bidden and I'll give you
$10 for the damage and no prosecu
tion."
"Xo questions asked?"
I knew the loser of the money wish
ed to get all of It that remained un
spent. so I agreed that she needn't tell
from whom she received the swag,
whereupon she pointed to the candle
she had given me and said:
"They're there."
They were wrapped around it.
