Description: Captain Tyrell's Stories Of The Secret Service

Episode 59 turns again to the writing of Captain Patrick D. Tyrell, a former investigator for the Secret Service, who set down many of his adventures for a syndicated newspaper feature that ran in 1905. This is an exciting story about two related investigations. After Tyrell and his men track down some of the Midwest's most notorious counterfeiters, they stumble upon a plot to steal the corpse of Abraham Lincoln by some of the scoundrels in an attempt to have their star engraver released from prison. In the first act, we'll hear about how Captain Tyrell broke the counterfeiting ring, and in the second act, how a pair of Pinkerton detectives botched the sting at the Lincoln Memorial in Sprinfield, Illinois.
