Tragedy of Forgery Tied to False Leg Wrench Case
Pinkertons trap Thaddeus E. York at Seattle after a year long search linking him to frauds across multiple states. He used alias Frank B. Houston and John W. Lee to steal $7,000 from the American Bank and Trust in Klamath Falls and cash money orders from the Northern Express Company. York kept a ranch at Chelan Washington and used a naphtha launch on the Columbia River to move produce, with a nickel plated wrench used for fitting artificial legs left behind as the sole clue.
