STOLE GOLD
THREE YEARS
San Francisco Lawyer Who Has
Drilled Thousands of Double
Egls b Detected.
HE CONFtSSES HIS GUILT
Extracted S3 Worth of Gold Prom Each
Coin Vavorogod On Coin Ptr
Day Wat Exceedingly Clsvsr
About It
San Francisco, Nov. II. James H.
Cary, an attorney at law, graduate of
the Hastings Law college, and well
known about town, haa been taken In
to custody by United State Secret
Service Agents George W Haaen and
Thomas R Foster and placed In the
ctty prison on a charge of feloniously
abstracting gold from double eagles.
Hasen and Foster have been on his
trail for more than two years. While
they felt certain that Cary was respon
slble for the crime, he was so wary
that they were obliged to wait until
now before they acted.
The case Is so complete, the evidence
so overwhelming that Cary acknowl
edged his guilt and showed how he had
drilled holes into the rims of the
twenty dollar pieces and taken from
$2.90 to tJ worth of gold from each.
Twelve holes were drilled In each coin
from the edge to the center, all con
verging. The gold dust taken out was
placed In a spoon-shaped depression
on a block of charcoal and then fused
Into a button by means of a flame from
& blowpipe. Cary, In order to disguise
the character of the gold that he was
selling, alloyed each button with about
S cents' worth of silver. The holes he
filled with pieces of brass wire cut to
the requisite length and filed smoothly
at the top. Then the top of the wire
and the edge of the coin were filed and
glided to disguise the hole.
The prisoner said that during the
last three years he had drilled, on an
average, one twenty dollar piece per
day, or a total of at least 1000 of the
coins. Starting with one drilled dou
ble eagle he used to change it at a
store, usually receiving three five dol
lar pieces and the remainder In silver.
Then he changed the five dollar pieces,
each one at a different place, for silver,
and changed the twenty dollars in sil
ver for a gold piece, which he after
ward drilled.
As he came out of his room at 1838
Filbert street he was placed under ar
rest by Hazen and Foster. They
found In his pocket a drilled double
eagle which he was on bis way down
town to have changed, and a gold
button valued at about $6, the result
of the drilling of two coins. Taking
him back to his room they found a
drill, several flies, a vise, a block of
charcoal and a pint bottle filled with
cut piece of brass wire.
Tm guilty. Tou've got me," be
said. "There's no use denying it
hope this will straighten me out. It's
coming to me all right How is Cress
TJnger coming out his trouble?"
The first person to detect a drilled
coin was Thomas Burns, cashier, of the
United States Subtreasury. That was
three years ago. He reported to the
secret service men. They found where
the buttons had been sold and got
description of the seller. On May 26
1902, Agent Foster saw Cary change
20 In silver for a $20 gold piece In the
Swiss-American bank. All bank tell
ers were notified, but the work of Cary
was so clever that the fraud could
not be discovered without actually
weighing the coins, except when they
had been much used the gliding wore
off and showed the tops of the brass
wire.
Cary's mother, sister and brother
reside at 930 Chestnut street He Is
$5 years old and a hard drinker.
ATTACK NOT YET RESUMED.
Next Attsmpt to Take Port Arthur
Will b a Strong On.
Chefoo, Nov. !t, 3 P. M. A Japa
nese official among the latest arrival
from Polny. states positively that the
enearal attack on Fort Arthur has
not been resumed. Rumors to that ef
feet In Dalny have arisen because
fresh troops Including the seventh dl
vision recently landed, are being sent
to the front
It is believed that the explosion
which took place on Nov. It occurred
in some counter tunnelling work. The
second explosion which was heard on
Nov, 19. was much heavier and It Is
reported upon the best authority, was
due to the blowing up of ' a Russian
magaalne.
It Is expected that the next attack
upon Port Arthur will be a tremendous
affair. More reinforcements are coming
to the support of General Nogi than
those despatched to Field Marshal
Oyama.
The Japanese are now constructing
coast defense forts at Pigeon bay,
which Is accepted as an Indication
that they expect to be defending Port
Arthur themselves some day.
DENY THE CHARGE.
Chit Did Not 811 Warship to
Russia
New York, Nov. In discussing
reports circulated In Europe relative
to the alleged sale of Chilean war
ships to Russia through Colombia a
high government official says, accord
ing to a Herald dispatch from Val
paraiso: i
This news Is absurd. It Is un
worthy of the slightest attention. In
respect for International law. Chlllean
occupies the same If not a higher level
than some of the greatest powers.
It is quite absurd to believe that
Chile would sell battleships to a belli
gerent as to suppose that the United
States would sell some of her ships to
Russia or Japan.
Because Chile is placed on the
South American continent Is no rea
son to imply that she Is a savage and
uncivilised country, just as, on the ot
her hand, there would be no reason to
assume that she was a civilized coun
try because she happened to be located
In Europe."
