F all the thieves whom it has been my lot to know inti mately I have the kindliest recollection of Mose VogeL There was something in tensely human about the man; a whimsical, humorous way, that made you forget that he was one of the most desperate bank robbers ever dealt with by the New York police. He was closely associated with all of PARALLEL STORIES sf FAMOUS CRIMES By HENRY C TERRY the best crooks of the world In his day, and his shrewdness and pluck made him In great demand as a part* ner, even though It was well known In the underworld that Mose had been born under an unlucky star. He met with more reverses than any crook I have ever known, and as I do not credit, of course, the Infallibility of the little Goddess of Luck in guiding the lives of the knights of the dark lan tern and jimmy, I am willing to offer Mose's misfortunes as cumulative evi dence of the final futility of crime. He has long since passed to his final reward, but I remember as clear ly as if it were yesterday his sitting in the old Mulberry street Btatlon and telling me how he and his gang al most cleaned up $3,000,000 from a Jer sey City bank. But I will let him tell the story as he told It to me. MOSE VOGEL'8 STORY; "It was along back In the seven ties," said Mose, "that Dave Cum mings, then in the height of his fame as a crooK. met me on me cowery, and we went together down to the old Atlantic Garden. Suddenly Dave turned to me and said: 'I think you are on the level, Mose.' I felt that this was a big compliment, coming from Dave, for he was an independent, high-strung fellow, who would pass up a thousand thieves without giving one the nod of his head. "I told Dave that I had always tried to be square and to live up to that wheeze In the copy-books about 'hon esty being the best policy.' He didn't ask me to go In with him then or even let out to me what was In his mind. That wasn't Dave's way. But I knew he had his eye on me as a blight lad that was sure to rise in his profession. He did ask me to step down to Murray's with him, saying he needed a little money and was in the mind to have a whack at Murray's game. He had just made a big haul somewhere and had about $6,000; so I didn't think there was any chance or him going to work right away. But the cards ran against him and in less than a week the whole bank roll had passed into'Murray's hands. "Seeing how things were going with Dave I sort of held myself open, turn ing down several good offers of high class work. Sure enough he finally hunted me up. He had a newspaper clipping about a big special deposit, 13,000,000, lying in a bank in Jersey City that he'd planted, and Just wait ing for somebody to come and get it. It made my mouth water to think of all that money. "Dave said the work had to be started right away, before the money was paid out and so, after taking a look at my engagement book, I told him I was free to go to work any time. We went right up to Harry Hill's place that night and Dave In troduced me to Ed. Johnson and Dago Frank, a pair of A1 western crooks who had worked off several big tricks witn juave aireaay. 'The next day we went by different routes to Jersey City and picked out a quiet boarding bouse near Union Hill. The real work of planting the bank then began for fair. "It took a week to plant the bank. It came my lot to locate the vault. 1 did" this by going In to look at a direc tory. I saw that It was an old-fash ioned affair, built in the wall on the east side, near the entrance opposite the directors' room. We decided to go through the wall, and hired a room in the adjoining building, whose floor was several feet above the vault. I represented to the landlady that I was a sculptor recently landed from Italy, and wished to set up a studio, I had to pay about three prices for the room, as the landlady seemed to think that a sculDtor oueht to have i barrels of coin. Well, we came near getting it. "I sent several blocks of marble to the studio and commenced carving out the busts of distinguished men. Cum mings, Dago Frank and Johnson were my assistants. I had a bed in the room and lived there, but my .partners slept elsewhere. I had sledges, bam ! mers and steel chisels to use in the i sculpture business apparently. We I made the attack on the bank through i the open fireplace, and the ringing ! blows that were heard through the house made the tenants believe that ; the sculptors were very busy fellows. : We did not do much work while the i bank was open, but early In the morn ing and late at night pounded away at the stone and brick. 1 MTi. nn trr/x Vt r> /-?

We removed the debris after dark, and let the Janltress into the I room every day to clean up. The hole in the wall was hidden at such times by a large screen. It took nearly two weekB to get through the stone, and then we found that we were about three feet above the big money box. This was made of heavy Iron plates, and on top there were several layers of railroad iron, wedged in place so that they were about as solid as a mass of Iron. "We got rid of part of the Iron, and then It was arranged that Dave was to do the outside work and give us warning of danger signs. We had no fear of the police, but there were a lot of secret service bugs flying THE CRIMINAL Tells How He Planned the Deed and Sought to Close Every Avenue of Knowl edge Leading to His Guilt.

They were not up to our game, but they knew me and Dago Frank from a couple of tricks done in other places. "Dave threw us down in great shape, but I never blamed him for it. He was always on the level, but in clined to take chances. Instead of keeping tab, Dave?so he told me afterward?used to drop into Taylor's hotel and play billiards. He could beat about any one that handled a cue, and would play all night if he could get any one to stay with him. Our work went on, and we reached the top plate of the money box. Then it was only a question of drills, acids and Jimmies to get through the plate. With good luck this would take only a few hours. I could almost feel the crisp bills in my fingers. "Then came the end, suddenly and swiftly. We were in the pit working" by the light of candles, and supposed that Dave was in the building some where. I waB swinging a sledge, John son was holding the chisel and Dago was resting. I heard a slight com motion in the room above and thought that Dave had come in for something. A second later I heard a strange voice shout into the fireplace: "Throw up your-hands!' . "I looked ud and saw two police^ men's heads: and two guns covering us. We threw up our hands. Then 1 said to Dago: 'Are you heeled?' He replied: 'No.' So secure did we feel with Dave on guard that we had all left our guns In the room. " 'I am going to make a break,' I said. 'I'm with you,' said Dago. John son only cursed. " 'Come out or I'll shoot,' was the next order, and we climbed out of the hole feeling pretty tough. There were six cops in the room and every one had a gun. A fellow came toward me with nippers and I dashed for the window. I never reached it. A club got to me first. Johnson still cursed. Dago went through the cops like a shot, knocked a couple of them down, reached the stairs, jumped over the heads of several cops, and reached the landing. A fat cop who was too lazy to go upstairs stood in the hall, and before Dago saw him, the cop got in his work with the stick. Dave was in Taylor's hotel playing billiards when this was going on, and when he heard it went under cover. He did 1 everything that was possible to aid us, and even went so far aa to fix up a job to get us out of the Hudson coun- i ty Jail.

Edward McHorney of the Jer- . sey City police department, who was the principal factor in the capture of . the First National bank burglars, was one of the bravest men who ever won a silver shield. Captain McHorney died a few years ago from a disease . that was indirectly the result of the injuries received during the struggle . with Mose Vogel, and shortly before , death sealed his lips told me this story: . J 'The capture pf Vogel, Dago Frank and Johnson was due to tne curiosity of a woman. Her name was Mrs. Francis, as I recollect it, and she ran ' a boarding house over Narew's oyster saloon, -which adjoined the bank. One of the thieves?Vogel, I think?hired a room from her on the second floor, which adjoined the bank on the east, and opened a studio as a blind. "Every morning regularly Mrs. Francis was called into the studio by the sculptor to clean up the place. , The floor she always found qovered with marble dust and chips of stone, , and an elegant screen stood in front of the fireplace. The sculptor always Bat near the screen with a big apron on and chatted pleasantly with his landlady. "Things went on for a week or more in this way. The sculptor kept ham mering away, and Mrs. Francis en joyed her morning call. It was along about housecleanlng time, and Mrs. Francis started in one morning to 1 j ? iu. ?.. i Clean we winnows uu me buuijuui o floor. "In passing through the hall with a step ladder It struck her that It would be a good opportunity to see the sculptor at work. She heard him pounding on stone In the room, and cautiously put up the ladder In front of the door. The fan light was open, and It was this trivial oversight that threw down three of the best men In the business. How they came to over look the fanlight I never could under stand, as everything else In the room ?keyholes, cracks and windows? were carefully covered. "Mrs. Francis peeped Inside. No one was in sight. She could see the blocks of marble, but no one was hammering on them. The sound was very distinct, and she wondered what It meant. She could hear voices, too. When her eyes lit on the open flref place and she saw a piece of stone fly from it into the room she fell off the ladder. The noise In the room stop ped. Mrs. Francis picked herself up and hurried away as rapidly as pos sible. She peeped over the banister and saw some one open the studio I door. / < "In a moment the hammering was resumed, and Mrs. Francis hurried to police headquarters. I was In charge, ! as Chief Edward 3. McYVllllams was 1 In Philadelphia. Mrs. Francis told me her story. I knew at once that a gang of burglars had planted the bank. From the time that they had been at | work I knew they must be close to the money. I rang for Detective Mike Bowie, and we went together down to ] Exchange place, where w.j could pipe the bank. "Mrs. Francis told me that tour men were In the gang, and after a long wait we saw two of them come out of th6 boarding house. In a few moments the two other fellows came out, and they all crossed the ferry to New York. I knew one of them. He was the best looking one In the gang. I had played several games of bil liards with him at Taylor's hotel, and was beai:en every time. I found out afterward that he was Cummlngs. "Bowie and I crossed over to Nafew's Baloon, and got a small col ored boy who worked there. We took him Into the boarding house and pushed him through th9 open fan light Into the studio. The kid jumped into the hole In the fireplace, saw the condition of things there and came back scared half to death. "M'nen i waitea ai tne nous? uuui i three of the gang came back. They ! seemed to be In a hurry, and went to : work in the. vault late In the after- j noon. Cummlngs did hot return. I knew the trick was about to come off,' and be had been left outside to watch, j "I sent Bowie to the station house ! for the men, and when they returned, ; after making sure that CummingB was not on the lookout anywhere, I sent j two men to the roof of the house, sta- ; tloned three others In the bank, and I the rest I placed on the stairs. Bowie ' and I, with four big nervy men, made i for the room. The sound of the ham-! mering was very distinct, but I could not tell whether the three men were in the hole or not. "I stood flat against the studio door, and placed Bowie and two policemen behind me. It was a ticklish monlent, and I'll admit I felt a little uneasy, as men of the kind we were going up against are .very handy with guns. 'I gave the signal in a low voice, and we threw ourselves against the door. It was important that the locks .and bolts should be broken at the , first | effort, so that the gang would not have warning. "The door flew open, and .1 landed on my hands and knees in the middle of the room. The place was empty, and I jumped for the fireplace with my revolver in my hand. "Bowie, one of the stoutest-neariea boys I ever knew, got there ahead of me and shouted to the gang to throw up their hands. In the hole were three men on their hands, and knees and I heard them whisper to each other, bul; could not tell what they said. I knew that they would not give up without a battle and I felt re lieved when one of the policemen shouted: 'Here are their guns, Cap.' "They were unarmed, and I knew 1 bad them all safe. The three fellows climbed out of the hole with as ugly expressions on their mugs as I ever saw. One of them kept swearing all the tim&. They kept their hands above their heads, but I could see that they were sizing up the game as they crawled into the room. Before we had a chance to grab them, one fel low gave me a vicious kick In the abdomen, and started for the window, l "**tt man wrtnH hRTO killed him if J I had not called them oil. Another of I the thieves made for 'the door.- He was a black-looking devil and had the courage of a Hon. Why he was not killed I never could understand, but 1 suppose we got a little careless when w.e found out they had nothing to shoot with and gave them more of a chance. But we got the handcuffs on them and landed them In the station house. "There was a sequel to this cap ture which created even greater ex citement than the attempted bank robbery. The thieves 'squealed' at their trial and said that Captain Mc Wllllams and Detective Doyle, who was McWllllams' confidential man, ?-- i- ~ cnhomo to rnh th? bank were iu ixio ovuviuv ? and were to be'rewarded with a share of the proceeds for giving them pro tection. "The trial of Captain McWilllams and Doyle was the most sensational one ever held in Hudson county. The thieves} told of their various meetings with Doyle. A diary was produced containing a record of the conversa tions with him and the convicts swore out a very stiff case. A point that was made to count strongly against Captain McWilliams was his absence in Philadelphia when the trick was"~to have come off, but all the jury would not believe the testimony of the men who tad been thieves all their lives In preference to men of good reputa tion and the Jury failed to agree. Mc Willlams spent a fortune In his de fense, gave up the police business and became a detective at the Astor House. Doyle was ruined and drank himself to death. Strange Facte Aboit Anlmalt.
