The Press Herald (Pine Grove, Pennsylvania) 16 Jun 1899, Fri

Something Doesn't fit Right on this one.
"All his Treasure is Missing" & "Wealthy Recluse"
How do they Know it is Missing ?
Just because they Didn't find it, Doesn't mean it was all Gone.
if he was a recluse, only the dead man would have known

well the house was ransacked.
so he apparently wasn't talking.
that doesn't mean at some point during the torture he didn't.
but it could mean he died before they found it and did a quick search.
of course it could have been outside, or buried in the basement or walls.
or even in the bank.
these are the places I'd love to live near
