THE SURF BANK ROBBERY: a unthfl'V‘E’s TALE or THE Lemon swans. “Go feel what I have Felt.” William Harvey, or he was better c known as English Bill, had that morn- \ ing pleaded guilty to a crime which gave 1 him to the State Penitentiary for life, I and as I took him back to his cell he 1 i told me to come to his cell and see him 3: the next day, and perhaps he could tell i me something that would astonish me. We detectives are not easily astonished, l : however, and the oft-repeated assurance, ‘ hopeless criminals, that they Could and | would astound us with wonderful revela- , tions, too often tell hs little or nothing more than we know. A few new dodges, some robbery yet in its infancy and only conceived, and occasionally ' some really useful clues or information, l generally being the SubStanEe of the l lpl‘lSOUCl‘as Confessions, and made in the; ihOpes of its being used to mitigate and l 1 4 fiuement. It was not with the exPec-i tation of hearing anything of conse- : quenee, that I went the next day there- 1 fore to English Bill’s cell. That he was a celebrated burglar, thief and cri- minal I had IOng known, but as I said before, it is seldom that reliable infor- mation, which can be made of use to us . detectives is furnished by such men. Bill seemed none the worse for the severity of the sentence which he had so lately received, though, to a less har 1 dened criminal, the bare thought of con- finem'ent for life is generally so appal ling as to age them in a few hours. But Bill had counted the Cost over and over again, and now that the game was up, the race run, and all ehance gone,- he was prepared to pay the penalty and meet his fate like a man. “I Love Somebody.” It is such men asthese that alone make a suoéeésful burglar or criminal; the coward vében his doom has come will hare been a coward before,- and the I’GETRY. DURHAM, COUNTY ( chances are that. the very inate coward- ice has been the cause of unsteadying his nerve or hand and had led to his de- fection and capture. _ After a few words of ordinm') conver- sation with Bil‘, he plunged into the waiter of his confession at once. ‘You see, si1 ’ he said Yand I will give s it in nearly hi3 own words), ‘I ha‘: e a -. something on my mind to tell you that d I think 30u ought to know. You run: 1 me down in this ’ere game, and did it 1. well. ain’t ageing to blame you forzl 11 that; that’s 3our business, not but whatE its a mean kind of business, too, thisE running a man down: but somebody 1111511 got to do it, I suppose, and after 1:11, it 11 aint any meaner than a man like 1119 ,E. doing a something which 1equires 0111 1 cers to run him down. Ilowe1 er that 51: neither here nor there, a: d 1 half for- give you for bagging 1110â€"1 don’t quite forgive you, you seeâ€"perhaps that’ll 'come, and it will come if you and me put together 1n this little piece of busi- nees, and you fix the folks as they fixed me, the d d villains.’ I told Bill I could make no treaty 01 hEargain 111th him, that all ou1 dealings must consist of his confession to 1110,1113 if he was able to give me such 1nfo1 111a- tion as 11ould result in my getting on the track of any rogues, he might rest assured I would follow up the trail and arrest them, and sec due punishment ‘111eted Jut to them if it lay in my power. e ‘11’011,’ said Bill, ‘that’ll have to‘do.

You‘ll reâ€" nEmemhe’r, said Bill, ‘that 10hher3 of the e'Snrf Bank, down on Tide sheet, near the river. How the bank got pretty well stripped, and how no one ever got ;. a trace ‘of the fellows who broke in.’ I remembered it too we“, for the non- success of the detective force in not be- ing able to get even the re‘motest clue, had been a constant. gall to us, and the papers had taken care that we should have a rub up on the 01d score every two or three days. ‘Well,’ said Bill, ‘me and my pals fix-V ed up that thing, and if the other fol 1015 had “OlkL‘tl squale, I n ou1dn t be here now. I’d be a virtuous fanner 111 Australia or a respectable citizen out West, living on my money and taking good care of1n3selt. 'lhat’ 5 what I laid out to do, but I didn’t get the rocks, to do it 011, thanks to them villian pals of mine, and I thought I’d have another try to make a raise, and that’s what set- ; tled me to what I am now. ‘Wc‘xl, you sec,’ he continued, ‘we had our eye on that bank a long time, and I‘ll tell you how it came about". One night me add some fellers were out. in a boat on the river a looking for éom‘etlxiug that might. be handy, and coming aro'uml a pier what should we run into but. the police boat. Well, we pulled for shore, and struck the butmcnt hard and stove in the boat. ' The other fellez's grabbed the Wharf and turn up it like cats and offthey Went but I was hinder stunned and couldn’t follow. I put into that like a streak and went up the pipe on a run. Some- times I’d trip up and go down on all fours in the slush which flowed about six inches deep in the bottom of the éet‘v'er. After a little I stopped to lis- ten and found there was no one after l me. I had passed two or three glimmers of light as I ran and right ahead or me t was another. Going up to it, I found 1 the light to come down an Opening from ‘ the street. Getting a foothold against l the wall of the sewer, I clambered up 1 and stuck my head through the Open- ing. It was one of those long and nar- row surface openings which enter the sewers under the sidewalks at the street corners. The hole was big enough for me to get my head and shoulders ‘ through, but no more. The gas above was burning brightly, and as I looked round the first thing I saw was the Surf Bank right close to me, the width of the sidewalk only separating. Just l then I heard the slow, steady walk of a .9 policttnan, and tucked in my head. He Epassed within three feet, and the first l ithing that struck me was, now it I’d a3 {grudge against that feller, how easily I i could out with my revolver and shoot? lhim, and then I thought who’d ever look .ldown in the sewer for the man who shot rlhimâ€"and how easily I could go down -|to the titer and get off. It. flashed lithen over my mindâ€"if a feller was to - l rob a place and had a friend down in '3‘ the sewer, how nicely he could hand him ‘the swag, and then walk home with his e § hands in his pockets, and if caught, no- lithing could be proved. Theée things set me thinking, and I3 concluded I had drOpped on a first rate thing. You know yourself there ain’t any difficulty worth mentioning in the way of its fellers getting into any bank in the city, but the police catch us as we go home with the stuff. It ain’t the getting it that bothers, but it's the way i to fetch it home through the streets. Well, to make a long Story short, I laid out. to break into that. very bank which was so handy to the sewera.1 had the choice of pale,- a‘nd I picked out ’MAINTIE‘N LE . DR-OIT.

He then came hack and Opened the (1001' hich he had not loch 'ed, and came into the oflice. He then looked the door from the in- side with a false key, and joined us in the press. We locked the door of that inside, and there we four fellows stood, packed together into sardines. Soon we heard the Janitor open the office door and come in to clean it out. 110' swept around the elliee and arranged things a little, as we eo‘ald tell by the noise he made, and then he cleared out and left us. I wanted to sneeze real bad when he was in the allies, but I lmanaged to stop it. We had abundance lof time before us, only we had to keep still for a time as the janitor was most ,liliely s11 0e}1 11g out the bank up staiis. lSo we had a good snooze, and got to lwork about 111id11igl1‘t.

We then strack the floor of the bank and Gentleman Tim, standing on the press, soon sawed out; a piece some three feet square. Luckily there was some loose matting on the floor overhead, and not a tacked-down carpet, 'ah’d it. lay exactly over where we had eat. You see I had‘of‘teh been E'a the bank and hilt] taken the bearings of thihgs. Wel‘, we clamhered up through thel hole and survey cd things. Scotch Bob‘ was a safe lock maker, and he thought he could open any combination loci: if he only had time. SC to wed: we went. “1: fellows went below and left him to himself, as he could work better that way. lou see, “e had not intended to remove anything that night. The time would be too short. “re were only to lget ready to go through the vault safe and get away with the Stuff on Sunday night. All night Rob worked, and I watched and listened while the others slept. lVe knew the janitor visited the bank on Sunday about noon, so Rob came down through the hole about eleven the next day, and carefully drew the matting over the opening. I 1 l Jerry then rigged np a pfop or two V’i‘ith the piece of floor on t0p, and made it quite steady, and no one could see horn above any change. About noon the janitor came in. The bank folks thou slit he did not do his duty, or he’d have caught us; but bless you he couldn’t see anything wrongâ€"we fixed all that. \Vell, Bob went back to his} work and worked all the afternoon but with no luck, and so when nine o’clock lcame that night, Charley and me took hold of the things. ‘We got our jimmies land our plag uglies, and fixed up a prep ‘to work the opener against. I was lbonnd to open any sate, once I get a lpurchase with my opener. They can’t lstand long against it. - Before we got to {Vork Gentleman Tim went to the bank door and with a fine brace ahd bit. he made a small hole through the panel of the door, then he tied a bit of cord to a wire and stuck it through the door; he felt it; pulled on the other éide and knew Cute Jack was at his post. Leaving the wire through the door we rigged a spring hammer so that it would strike like a dinner gong, only it would strike on a book and make a dull thud instead of a clear noise like a hell. | Jack was to pull the wire and keep us1 postedâ€"by .it of outside matters and dan- gers. Then we got to Work, and I got lihe Opener to bear, we made little or no noise, Still we stepped work whenever J aek‘s hell gave one thud, which meant danger, two meant go ahead again, while three thudé meant that some one was either Coming into the bank or that keep usl‘finery, was struck at the same time, and l nd dan- instantly exploded, the burning oil run- ' l I got ing towards the river, burning all the le 01' no buildings and setting fire to the Sharps- benever burgh Bridge, which was totally des: l 1 meant troyed.

Should l this happen he was to feign sleep, and ,1: all the worst, could only be made to more on. However, everything was l < ,prOpitious, and . the hell only sounded ‘5 lthe one rap whenever the policeman drew near to the bank. \Ve had work- ,, ed an hour, and I felt sure a couple more , lwould let me through the door, when Bob, who had not discontinued his at- _ tempts to unfold the combination of the l lock, uttered a joyful exclamation, and the pondcrous door swung open. He , had hit upon the combination partly by luck and partly from his knowledge of locks. The inner door was but oflittle hindrance to us, and we were soon in , the vault itscll’a Gentleman Tim pro- " duced some large india-rubber bags 3‘ which he had provided, and into them .i we hurriedly placed the wealth efnetes,‘ , stocks and hills which we found. A': 3 lot of depositors’ tin cash boxes were 1- ranged around, and these we broke Open y and added the contents toiourpile. The bags now became full, and yet still more l . was to he had for the taking. It would 3 not do for one of us to load himself with t even a single dollar, for if arrested in l, the street on suspicion, we must have n nothing traceable to the bank about our e persons. A low, long trunk was in the e . vault, and by measuring its thickness d we found it would just enter the sewer to at the corner. Now came the most dangerous part’ of the WOIk. By pulling the string, the who end of ..hich 1n Jack’s hands, we communicated him through arranged signals that we were ready to come out. In answer he informed us through the same channel, that the policeman we still near. After waiting fifteen minutes Jack telegra1f.1l ed that the coast was elea1,a11d one we slipped out. of the bank by the f10nt (1001, and h'mumrr the bag of stuff, which we ca11ied down the sluieeway to Charity, pa ssed on in di t ferent ways, to meet at the mouth of the sewer. 1 came out of the hank, car- ;rying the. trunk, which I gave to lCharley and then passed down towards the market. slipped up the sewer and found no ‘Charley. I then saw how I had been fooled. The villians hail come together and made off with the spoils before 1 got there. I waitc'é ah hour [and then Went. to the sewer mouth and waited in the shade of the pier an hour or more, but none of the follcrs came. At last I I never set eyes 0::‘1 one of those fel- lows since. If I had one would have died, be it him or me. The bank offered a big reward, and 1 had my doubts as to whether it wouldn’t be better to peach and claim it, and so get; something. But. as 1 had no bonds to return to them, and poor clues to give them, I feared they wouldn’t. act square with me. Now I’m fast and may as well make the beat of it. If you can do anything to catch ’em I’ll be right gladâ€"if you can’t, it can’t be helped ; only if you do your best, why, as I said {before, I forgive you all clean for hunt- ling me down. Little more remains to be told. The clues given me by English Bull were sufficient to enable me to trace the vil- lians; but. safe, on unextiz’xditionahle soii, they live in wealth, and no doubt daily rejoice in the fruits of their safety. He didn’t enjoy the nei's’s file”, but with many eurses com'p'area their fate to his, and damned them for their treaehery. As I left he said, ‘I don’t know as I’ll forgive you quite, but if I ever get out of here, and have a c,_1anee to shoot you from a sewerâ€"why I v'zon ’t that s ail.’ Life is robbed of its sweetness by a biirSt of angry passion; as milk sours in a thunder-storm.
