GREENSBORO DAILY NEWS, WEDNESDAY, v DECEMBER 27. 1922 f : y Famous Mysteries The Looting of the Manhattan Bank Even in these days of almost hour ly hold-ups and dally bank robberies, the theft of 12,500,000 would cause at least the proverbial nice-days' sensa tion. But, a feneration ago, when the Manhattan Savings Institution of New York was looted of this sum, the sensation stirred the entire continent. In spit of the fact that bonda and not' currency had been stolen. V ', Investigation of the scene Of "the 'crime failed to reveal any cluos. The nlrht'Watohman had been struck down from behind, bound and gagged. The safe had been blown-open, evi dently by men who were skilled In the une'of hglh explosives, but there was nothing further that could be construed as an Indication of the Identity of the men who were re sponsible for the daring coup.

" man by the name of Thomas Byrnes, destined In later Ufa to become on of the niost famous sleuths America has produced, but then comparatively unknown. Tha Manhattan Bank case, however, laid tit foundation for his success, for It was In the solution of thla mystery that Byrne displayed the lnlatry ami the Imagination, the dogged perslsirenoy and the unfailing courage that Were to make his name a synonym for detective genius. Byrnes figured that, sooner or later, the professional criminals implicated in the bond robbery would return to their usual 'haunts In New York, for the opening; of the vault was only the first step In the Case. The bonds had to be idleDoeed of and New York city presented the obvious market for this transaction. It was because of this that Byrnes kept his eyes upon the underground life of New York and Anally, stfter weeks of watching, Vas rewardeH by th knowledge that one of the fextra watchmen at the Man hattan (Savings bank, a man who had been on duty on the night of the rob berywee on Intlmat terms with several men who hsd served terms for aafra-breaklne-. This discovery was enougjh. Byrnes determined to conca1 trate his effort on this watchman and. , when he considered the time propitious quietly arrested him on a m eharg of complicity In the $2,600,000 theft, taking ear to that no news of hi actlen was allowed to leak out Into the underworld. , For three days Byrnes questioned th watchman, not with the "third degree" method which he was oredlted with Instituting, but with continual Inquiries to what he had been doing and with whom h had ben associating at the tint th bank had been looted. On the morn ing of the fourth day Byrnes called the suspect Into his private office and told him frankly that he waa the only person that the police could lay their hands ph that had been con nected with the robbery and that he would' have to stand trial alone un less be would eonsent ta nam th men who had been Implicated with him, in whldi case Byrnes would promise that Ife would go free In re turn for his state's evidence, Weak ened by the euspens and fearful that the nolle had discovered more than Byrnes would admit, th watah man broke down and made th con fusion for which the detective had been striving confession which In cluded the names of a New York policeman and alx of the most no torious bank breakers In the country. The watchman told how he had been approached, how he had finally yielded to temptation, how he had arranged that one ofthe outer doors of th bank should be left alar on the night for which the robbery was planned, how tr vaults had been entered and the safes cracked. When he bad flijlshed, Byrna not only had th fu.ll story of th crime, but th name and addresses of th entire gang which had taken part In the af fair. The search which followed led front Maine to California but, eventu ally, every man was rounded up and the final leas to th "Manhattan Sav ings Institution was less than flO.000. for only a few of the bonds were ever marketed.
