A Parallel Case Cited
In this connection many believe
there is a parallel case in what was
known a few years ago as the
“Great Humbold Robbery.” At that
time the Washington-Ala .ika bank
at Fah oanks shipped by express foor
b )xes of gold, consisting o-' two
large and two small boxes Travel
ing at the same time as tourists with
this gold shipment was Mr. and Mis.
Adams, the former then president of
the Adams Express company, and
remarking the manner in which the
shipment was handled, made the
prophecy: “Some time we are going
to have a loss.”
WhUp on board ship, the gold bosses
were stored under a sort of settee
in the purser’s room, and out of re
spect to Mr. Adams and to show
how good the gold was guarded,
while the purser was at meals, the
mate would pace to and fro in front
of the door of the purser’s room.
On reaching Seattle, an express
wagon took receipt for the boxes,
later taking a receipt in good condi
tion from the Seattle assay office,
where the boxes were piled up
against the wall and were not opened
for some time.
When the contents of the boxes
were examined, it was discovered
that a considerable portion of the
contents of one of the larger boxes
was missing.
GBy the time the robbery was dis
covered, the Humbolt was away
off on the Pacific for the ^orth
again. The robbery was so large
and so much interest was attracted
to it, that William Burns, head of
the great detective agency of his
name, came West from Chicago and
handled the case in person.
Among the passengers on that trip
of the Humbolt was a man and a
very beaqtiful woman, believed at the
time to be the wife of the man.
Later, this couple were arrested in
1 San Francisco charged with the
theft of the gold, and canfessed!
They made no particular defense.
The prisoners described at great
length just how the robbery was
committed. The woman said that
she had become well acquainted with
the purser, and one evening kept
him walking back and forth on the
opposite side of the ship, while the
man went into the purser’s room,
pried out the end of one of the boxes,
removed the gold, and replaced the
end, all within 38 minutes time.
Later it was found that the confes
sion was all a myth, that the rob
bery never occurred on the Hum
bolt, that no end had ever been
pried out of any of the boxes, nor
could it have been done in the man
ner or time as described, and there
had never been a time that the purs
er’s room had been unguarded. Mr.
Burns’ testimony was the loss never
occurred on the Humbolt.
