He re turned to Russia, where be died with out knowing the value of bis property. A syndicate bought up all the sur rounding land and wanted that belong ing tb Bogoffs heirs. As a member of the syndicate I was sent to Russia to put the matter through. There was Just one thing to 1)6 kept secret Bogoff had paid about $700 for property worth over $100,000. I was to get hold of the ld as cheap ly as possible, giving no hint of its real value. Bogoff was a native of the port of Narva, ou the gulf of Finland, and one day I landed there In search of information. I had my passport and other credentials and anticipated no trouble, but I was Ignorant of the way things work In Russia. After tak ing up quarters at a hotel I called upon a lawyer to make Inquiries and secure assistance. Yes, he had heard of the Bogoffs and thought the family could easily be found. 1 was to call again on the morrow and meanwhile he would gather such Information as he could. Two hours later (he chief of police of Nnrva entered my room with two of his men. The astute officer questioned me for three long hours and was more suspicious at the finish than at the be ginning. It was so queer that Bogoff should have purchased that land, so queer that he badu't reported It on re turning, so queer that I should make such a long Journey to see the heirs, so queer that I should seek out a law yer Instead of calling at the police sta tion. I knew exactly what all this mennt Had I said to the lawyer in the first place that there was a "dlvry" In the matter for him and for the chief of police and two or three other offi cials nil would have gone well. When the chief realized that I could not be bled be had all my papers taken to his office. The police were ordered to look upon me as a suspicious person, and a detective was detailed to .watch me day and night. Thinking 1 might carry on the busi ness from St Petersburg. I went to that city and again called upon a law yer first of all. lie was sharp enough to realize that the property was of con siderable value, and without any beat ing around the bush he told me that he would find the heir and put the matter through for the sum of $3,000. 1 re fused to bribe hlra and as a result soon discovered thnt no lawyer would have anything to do wltt the case, and only two days had passed before I was sum moned to the office of the chief of po lice, lie closed the interview hv . - - - i J RE-i lift OF ASSOCIATION North Carolina Just Freight Rate Association Is Made Permanent. ing that I would be shadowed while I remained at the capital and by advis ing me to take no further steps on my own account to discover the Bogoffs. I had not beeD provided with money to bribe any one. I must either defy the police and work up the case single handed or return and report a failure. Being firmly convinced that Mrs. Bo goff was In Narva, I secretly left St Petersburg for that town. Securing rooms In a boarding bouse and disguis ing my personal appearance to a con siderable extent, 1 prosecuted my In quiries under one excuse and another ontll I at length discovered the woman. She was living In her own borne and In poor circumstances and was rejoiced at the prospect of selling the land, which she remembered ber husband referring to aw a poor investment on his part I must have the assistance of a no tary to make out the papers, and II wis wane seeking this assistance thai the police got track of me again. Ai soon as they interfered I was balked They not only warned everr notnrr fr Narva against me, but the widow wai obliged to take a Journey and go Intt biding. Things might bare stopper there bad I been a cool and placid man When I found the police bounding mc again I lost my temper and rave thi chief my opinion of things In general nd of hi own conduct in particular I was arrested; on what charge I never new. Aa soon as Incarcerated I naked leave io communicate with the American minister. Thla request was refused. I was not allowed books, writing mate rials or other food than the regular prison fare and waa, In fact, treated In all respects aa a criminal On thi third day the chief of police tent foi me and asked if I would leave Russia If given my liberty. ! replied In tba negative and waa returned to prison.
