THE LAST OF THE RED PEPPER
THIEVES.
T has been but a few
months since New York
city rang with the story of
two bank piessengers held
up in a taxicab, beaten and
robbed of $25,000 right un
der the shadow of Trinity
spire. It brought instantly
to my mind another sensa
tional robbery that took
place exactly at the same
spot more than twenty-five years ago.
The details, strange to relate, were
almost exact'y similar except that the
former thieves did not, of course, at
tack a taxicab. But they more than
doubled the taxicab robbers' haul, get
ting $53,000. They were widely
known as the last of the famous "Red
Pepper Gang." Their capture follow
ed as swiftly as did that of the re
cent robbers. ,
It was my privilege to talk both
with Phil Heinrich, one of the gang,
and with Detective Dalton, who was
instrumental in their capture. Their
stories form a unique chapter in the
annals of crime, and prove that
crime, like the Paris fashions, moves
in circles.
PHIL HEINRICH'S STORY.
"It is my firm belief," said Phil
Helnrlch, "that there is more philos
ophy among crooks than In any other
class of people. They take- what
comes In their way In a moral sense
as well as In a physical sense, with
out complaint. I have seen the work
of years go in a second without a
murmur. I know a gang of crooks
who spent four years laying an outfit k
for a bank and then got dumped in
the end, and I never heard a whimper
from any of them.
"I had a bit of this sort of luck my
self and know how It feels. I found
that I took disappointment as well as
the best of them and did not want
anybody's sympathy. I was at that
time running a counterfeiting layout
in partnership with Sam Ellis. We
had put up some very fine work in
Philadelphia. "We ran out an edition
of twos, fives and tens In government
notes which were beauties In every
way. I. tell you the work was so
good that we could have passed the
bills on ourselves without knowing it
"Instead of turning out our work
1n two years, it was nearly four be
fore we got the plates Just right, and
got a good imitation paper to use for
printing. We ran off a big wad of
money, and put it in circulation as
rapidly as possible. Just when we
got things running beautifully, and it
looked like a million a year, a bloom
ing Are hit our house, and all the
plates, paper and presses were de
stroyed as well as the mute servant.
"We did not carry any insurance,
and we had to write up a total loss.
We managed to get most of the plates
out of the ruins in order to put them
out of the way to avoid arousing sus
picion, dui everyuung wan uui vietm
ed up, and the secret service men
began to get suspicious. Some of the
money that we had put out got to
Washington, and it made a terrific
muss, hut they did not get near to us,
although there was a lot of talk about
the game being worked in Philadel
phia.
"It was useless, for a time, to think
about putting another counterfeiting
layout to work in this country, so
Sam and I went up to Buffalo and got
a few samples of Canada money to
experiment with. The best bill that^
I saw for our purpose was the $10
Canadian bank note. It was a pretty
bill, not nearly as cleverly put up as
one of Uncle Sam's $10 notes, and
we decided to give It a test. We got
a new set of toolB, and laid out for a
two years' job. We worked with the
greatest care so as to avoid injuring
a. plate If possible, and we had mag
nificent luck. I never did such good
work in my life, and I never saw Sam
in quite such fine trim.
"In Just eighteen months we turned
out a plate which, I'll bet, would have
been accepted by the government of
ficials of Canada as the genuine arti
cle. There appeared to be a great
wad of dust in this layout for us, but
before a single bill was laid down the
pair of us got the collar. It all came
through an Inquisitive and gabby
plumber, who was sent to our house
to repair a broken pipe. He saw a
lot of things during our absence
which he did not know anything ^
about, and got to firing off his mouth
in bar rooms in Buffalo.
"His talk in some way reached the
ears of the Treasury agents, and Sam
and I were caught red-handed. It was
the greatest throw-down I ever got,
but when we got a chance Sam and I
shook handa^and smiled at our bad
luck. He had not a word of com
plaint to make, nor had I. I'll bet
that there never were two men who
lost a fortune so easily and kept more
even tempers.
"It looked a good deal like working
for the state for about twenty years,
but I did not lose heart. When I got
Into the Erie county jail I studied the
situation of affairs very carefully, and
I saw that I had more than an even
chance of getting a peep of sunshine
again. I set up communication with
a friend of mine. When I was taken
to the court to plead jny friend shook
me heartily by the hand. Incidentally
he slipped up my sleeve In front o!
the bright-eyed coppers some very
small tools which would be of great
service to me. I took the precaution
of putting them away in case I should
be searched on entering the jail. I
got through all right, and divided my <
toolB with Sam, who had a cell on the
same tier with me, about twenty-flve :
feet away. My tools consisted of a
set of the finest steel band saws and
a little box of acid to soften the iron

and muffle the buzz of the saws when
at work.
"It took three nights to get through
with everything except the automatic
bolt which locks all the cells. After
learning that Sam had made as good
progress as I had, we arranged It to
go through the last bolt before mid
night and be ready to make a break
as soon as possible after the mid
night change in the watch. I got to
work on the automatic bolt when the
lights were put out early in the eve
ning, and by 1 o'clock in the morn
ing I could shift my bolt in good
shape. I tried the door and found
that it opened easily. After the guard
made the rounds I slipped into the
corridor. A moment later Sam ap
peared.
"We had our plans all laid.^ I en
tered . his cell. We waited for the
guard to come round again, and as
he passed the door we seized him
from behind, dragged him into the
cell and put him to sleep with a
crack on the skufl with an iron bar.
I put on his official coat and hat, took
his kevs. unlocked the door to a store
room and sent in the half-hour signal
to the main office. Sam used the
saws as quickly as possible to go
through the bars on the' window,
while I made the regular tour of the
guards' corridor.
"I had to go within twenty feet of
another guard, but covered my face
with my handkerchief during an as
sumed fit of coughing, and ran the
gauntlet in good shape J When Sam
got through the bars I brought two
sheets to him, which he made into a
rope, while I made my last tour.
"When I got back to the room ev
erything was in readiness. We slid
down the rope to the top of the prison
wall. It was an easy drop from there
to the ground and we got away. It
was a very cold night and/ we forced
an entrance into a clothing store and
got a new outfit. We decided that it
was best for us to go it alone and !
make a line for New York.
"We were flat brdke and had to
get money somewhere. We fixed up
a bit and tumbled onto a darling
scheme the very first day out.. Two
young fellows, as we were passing the
First National bank shortly after 3
o'clock, came out carrying a bag.
They showed by their manner that
they were on an important mission.
We laid for them for two days, and
found that they carne out regularly
each day with the bag. Then we fixed
our play.
"We waited for them to appear on
the third day In Trinity church yard,
and when they started up Broadway
we got them before they had gone a
block Stepping quickly up behind,
each picked out a man and gave him
a handful of red pepper in his eyes.
They dropped the bag like a shot, and
before they had time to yell I picked
It up and we got lost In the crowd.
It was a safe play to make a break
for the Liberty street ferry with the
bag as if we were going to take a
train on the Central. I unloaded the
bag in the lavatory and got Just $53,
000 for the day's work."
DETECTIVE DALTON'S STORY.
"I had the very great pleasure,"
said Detective Dalton, "of running
down about the last of the Important
red-pepper sneaks.
"I saw the two messengers about
three hours after the robbery. They
were In a terrible condition. Their
minds 'were In such shape that they
gave me half a dozen different ver
sions of the way the robbery hap
pened, and as many descriptions of
the thieves. I could sympathize with
them, and knew that It would be
hours, perhaps days; before rthey
would have sufficient control of their
senses to tell an Intelligent story. ]
About the only thing which they
agreed upon in their delirious ravings
was that there were two thieves.
"Knowing that it is customary for
thieves before carrying out a robbery
of this kind to study the situation
carefully and lay plans for the at-' (
tack and escape, I hunted all over J
the neighborhood of the bank to find
some one, if possible, who had seen '
any suspicious-looking persons. I only 1
learned enough to confuse me, as so 1
many people had seen men who
might have been the thieves. If all
their stories were accepted there (
probably were one hundred crooks In
lower Broadway several days before 1
the robbery. It Is remarkable how 1
little evidence can be picked up about
an occurrence which, In the natural 1
order of things, ought to have been 1
seen by at least fifty men. The rob- i
bery occurred in broad daylight at an <
hour when the street is most crowd- )
ed. Yet after a long search I only 1
found one person, who had seen any- ?'
thing which might be of value. I ran ?
across a street vender who must have
been within twenty-five feet of the J
messengers when thty were attacked. <
"He did not see the assault, but a t
second later, and before he under
stood what had happened, he saw
two men, very well dressed, hurry
across Broadway and turn down Ce- t
dar street toward tne Nortn river.
That was the natural course which c
thieves who knew their business I
would have taken. The vender had a
a pretty fair idea of the appearance
of the two men and their clothing. 1^
W'th that as a guide I went through r
Cedar street. I traced the men to c
West street by witnesses who had t
noticed them moving quickly as if c
they were in a hurry to catch a train, t
but lost track of them in West street a
until I reached the Liberty street r
ferry. Then I picked up the very
clue I was after.
"The ticket agent had seen the
men, and his attention was attracted t
to them particularly because in buy- d
ing a lioket for Scranton one of them
took some money out of a bag. This f
vaa red-hot stuff. A moment later i
itruck something better. While
learching for information from the
erry hands I ran across a porter who
lad found a valise in the lavatory and
lad taker, it to the lost and found de
)artment. It did not take me iong to
jet there and see that bag. It was a
nedium-sized affair, and had been
ound unlocked and empty. There was
10 mark on it to indicate where it
lad come from. ,1 sent it to the bank
md in a few moments received word
:hat it was the bag which had been
ised by the'messengers.
"That point being cleared 1 up, I
lext started the telegraph lines work
ng, and kept them hot until the train
lispatcher held up the Scranton train
it a station, and got the conductor on
the wire. He had noticed every one
on the train, simply as a matter of
business, soon after leaving Jersey
City. He was positive that no person
answering the descriptions of either
3f the men who had brought the bog
to the ferry house had been on board
liis train. This settled beyond reason- '
able doubt that the thieves had not
left the city, at least by that route.
"The porter who had found the bag
had got a very good look at the two
men. He remembered them even more '
accurately because he had associat
ed them with the loat bag. His de
scription tallied with that given by
the street vender, except that he gave
more complete detaile. In thinking it
pver it suddenly struck me that I had
read a similar description somewhere.
[ could not place It until the next day.
Then it came over me like a flash. .
What I had seen was the alarm which
had been sent out at the request of
the Erie county police giving the de
scriptions of Sam Elliis and Phil Hein
rich, fugitives from Justice.
"The case then appeared perfectly
plain to me. Ellis and Heinrich, after
leaving Buffalo, had come to New
York instead of going to Canada, as
U.J t- . 11 V-11^ -J rn^ATf
uuu ueeu seuerany lkjimjvw. luejr
probably had adopted the red-pepper
Bcheme of robbery In order to raise
money at once, since their scheme
had been frustrated to flood Canada
with counterfeit money. The job waB
not exactly In the line of either of
the men, but they were, I knew, fully
competent to undertake anything In
any.branch of thievery.
"Unfortunately the newspapers got
hold of the story ol' the finding of the
bag and the description of the men.
This was, of course, sufficient warn
ing to the team of worthies to, dive
deeper into their hole, and made my
work so much harder. How was I to
get to Ellis and Helnrlch? I did not
know. They were a cunning lot, and
I knew I had a stiff game.
"I knew all the haunts of both men.
and after pitting on some togs to suit
the occasion I spenjt my days andi
nights bumming around booking tips.'
It was slow work, but It was jail that
could be done. I got in with la lot of
people and heard all the gossip that
was going on among crooks, but It
was over a month before I heard any
thing of importance. I had to go
very quietly In order not to excite
suspicion. I did not dare to ask lead
ing questions of anybody or I might
have eot a tiD sooner.
"One evening, while I was having
some oysters in Billy the Bite's in
Wooster street. Jack Griffin came in.
A few moments later in came his old
friend, Reddy 'the Blacksmith. They
were both friends of Ellis and Hein
rich. To my utter amazement Griffln
began telling in my presence about
the arrest of both Ellis and Heinrich
In Pittsburgh for fighting and clean
ing out a joint. Griffln was with
them, but had got away safely. Both
men were sent to the county prison
for thirty days under fictitious names.
I ate my oysters without any show of
hurry, but I need not tell you that I
did not lose any time when I reached
the street.
"I notified headquarters and took
the first train for Pittsburgh. I got ,
there jnst In time to learn that the
two men had been discharged upon
ball after appealing their case. I
knew that they were going to skip
the town, and Just fey a flyer I hur- !
rled to their lawyer's office. Luck 1
waB with me, and I met Ellis and J
Helnrlch coming out with a satchel.' !
I followed them until I met a police- |
man and then closed In with them. I '
covered them with a gun while the !
policeman put on the handcuffs, and |
then we locked them up. It took a ,
three months' fight In court to land j
them here, but finally they were tried j
and sent away for twenty years."

the Optic Nerve, caused by impoverished blo<
supply. The progress of my trouble was slo
but steady, with never any relief, until finaL
my physician advised me that nothing furthe
could be done. About this time, about two yeai
ago, I could not see to read, and my range <
vision was so short that I could not see anythlc
at a greater distance than fifty or seventy-fi
feet. I often found it difficult to recognize i
auaintxftces when I met them, distinguis"'
lem more by their voices than their feat
[n May, 1900, a friend advised me that 'if 1
physician's diagnosis was correct, MILAM1
cure you, because it will purify ^nd enrich 1
blood, increase the flow, and build up the r
tem; but it will take a longtime and the
provement will be slow.'
"I did not believe one word of this, and <
sented to talcs MILAM because I did not think
could hurt roe. and there might be a bare pos
bility that it might help me. After six weeL
use I began to notice a slight improvement:
my sight, which has been slow but steady i
with no setback. Now I can read newspap
with ordinary glasses, can distinguish large ol
lects two miles away, and have no difficult
now, as far as my sight is concerned. In attenl
ingto my duties as the executive officer of I
corporation.
"I am still careful not to tax my eyes ur
lonably, because I realise that I am not en
but hope, and am more and more encouraged |
ime passes, to believe that the continued i
!ILAM will cure me.
"I think it proper to state that my gene
health and strength have also improved in
tame ratio as my eyesight, and I attribute thii
ie use of Milam.
