DETECTIVES IN FINAL ACT.

Telling the well-known tale of unbounded wealth, and making a great display of notes," two men were neatly trapped by a stranger, and handed over to the police.

This story was told at Bow street recently, when William Wood, a Glasgow engineer, and Theodore Wallace, a commission agent of Fulham, were charged with being suspected persons.

Mr. Joshua Mantoe, an Ameri- can salesman, said that when taking a walk along the Strand he met Wallace, who entered into They conversation with him. walked through some streets to- gether, Wallace pointing out the places of historical interest.

They met the next day, and he then mentioned to Wallace that he was staying at a hotel near Victoria Station. Wallace after- wards left a note for him at the hotel making an appointment for Wednesday morning. Witness then met him, and they walked up Charing Cross-road and Shaftesbury-avenue.

A letter was dropped in front cf witness, and his companion. called his attention to it. pointing out Wood as the man who had dropped it. Witness picked it up, and handed it to Wood, who expressed his thanks and said, "You Are two real English-

men. "DODWELL & CO. LTD. Agents.

WELL, GOOD SNE, #CLEA -

Wallace remarked: “We are not English. but American." Wood then said his name was "O'Connor" and explained that the package contained his fortune, his uncle having left £300,000.

He showed them an old news- paper, which in the "Stop Press" space purported to give an account of money so left." He also ex. plained that his uncle had made his money by discovering an oilfield in Pittsburg, Wood also made agreat show of some wallets and papers which looked like rolls of bank notes. On the outside was a £5 Bank of England note and a fire-dollar bill.

Wood said how pleased he would be to let them have £2,000 or £3,000 of the money to distri- bute among charities, but said it must be a condition that they would accept 10 per cent. of the amount handed to them to reim- burse thera for their trouble and expenses.

Wallace remonstrated with Wood for carrying his money about in such a loose way. He also advised him to put it in the bank and carry cheques, as he (Wallace) did. At the same time he produced some blank che que forms. Wallace then asked witness how he carried his moner and he replied that he never carried much, as he bad credit.

They went into a coffee shop to have some rofreshments, and witness shortly afterwards made an excuse to leave them for a time, telling them that he had en appointment. As a matter of fact he had heard before the same sort of story that Wood had told him and had communicated with the police who just after he had left came on the scene and arrested the men.

Detective William Eggers produced a number of papers found on them, including worth- less Mexican bank notes.

Mr. Edgar Smith, who appeared for the prisoners, said they would plead guilty. Whatever silly stories they had told Mr. Mantce, he had not lost a penny, and nobody had suffered. Wallace had only one conviction against him, and that was in France i 1917. He happened to be. in prison at Lille wher the Germans entered, and he suffered il- treatment at their hands.

Wallace was sentenced to three months' hard labour, and Wood remanded for further inquiries.
