We arrested Hersogg, and he was tried in due time convicted and served four years in one of the state prisons of Texas.
Many of the stolen articles which were recovered were fully identified, and returned to their owners.
It developed that Hersogg had provided himself with skeleton keys of all sizes and styles. Having a whole baggage car to himself, he was thus able to open and inspect all the baggage at his leisure. He was afforded ample time between stations in which to loot the contents of the baggage car, and strap and lock them up again, leaving no trace on the outside of the baggage having ever been tampered with.
The capture and conviction of Hersogg was not only a source of relief to the Gould System, but was an equal relief to all connecting lines.
(THE END.)
