Saxton's swamp has its hi-a<l In the
woods between [slip and Brentwood
Whortlelierrieu are plentiful iu the vicin
ity Oeorge L Benjamin and Alexan
der Combs were roaming carelessly
about in the vicinity and made a discov
ery that Interested the town not a little.
They saw smoke curling up as If out of
the ground and began au investigation
They found a lire and a kettle over it iu
which beans, {lotatoes and chicken were
simmering There was noone visible in
the vicinity
Tile lx>ys went to Bay Shore and spread
the news, and a score or more of men
went to the woods to see the surprising
sight They concluded in advance that
the swamp was a thieves' deli, and some
of the men carried gnus, others revolvers
and a few hayforks. They fouud the
simmering pot and the fire almost out.
For the fun of the thing the men began
slaying robber, and several .huts were
fired ns part of the pantomime. They bad
reason to conclude later that this was a
mistake, for it served as a signal to the
occupant of a cave in the woods to make
himself scarce. A man with a pitch-
fork kept jabbing it into the earth and
detected a hollow spot
A little digging threw n large sheet
iron tray np from under the leaves aud
left esposed a hole about two feet square.
It Imd wooden sides leveled so that the
tray set in snugly Over the tray were
leaves, grass aud brush, in keeping with
the surroundings. Through a hole iu
the tray was run a piece of telegraph
wi~>, and at each end of the wire was
fastened a nicely rounded stick which
served ns a handle to lift np the tray on
the outside and pull it down on the in-
siilq. The bole in the earth was fonr
feet deep and eight feet long under the
ground, forming an alleyway.
CONTENTS or THE CAVE
The earth Imd been carefully cut out
and must have been carted away, as no
evidence of it could he found in the
vicinity. Thvre could not have been less
than several wagon loads of it At tho
end of the alleyway there was a depres
sion of two feet, running a distance of
six feet and being five feet wide. The
roof was six feet high., This was the
bedroom. It bail a bunk on each side
filled with leaves and grass and both had
been slept in. The walls were lined with
logs, and the ceiling, so to spesk, was
covered with mnslin.
There were two closets and several
brackets and a fireplace at oue end, with
a capped pipe running up to thn top,
which could be raised for use anti lower
ed at will, to prevent detection. Five
tin gutter pipes were so arranged as to
admit imht and air and euahle the oc-
cupunt to observe what was going on
about him iu the woo ls. On one side of
the passage a ;».st was driven down and
into it a staple bad been bolted, to which
was attached a trace chain. It was a
mystery what use could have been made
of this, and the belief is that it was used
to keep some jiersou a prisoner at some
time.
The cavern had undoubtedly been in
habited up to within a few honrs, and if
the men who went out to see a sight had
not made fools of themselves instead of
watching the hole in the ground they
would undoubtedly have discovered the
tenant of the queer abode uud perhaps
rnsde an important discovery.
A tub iu the farthest west comer of
the cavern contained salt pork, and sliced
chicken meat had been put into the brine
to pickle. A silver spoon was found
marked "The Austral.” It was prob
ably stolen from the Austral hotel, at
Brentwood. Among other things were a
muslin shirt, a flannel shirt and a pair
of lawn tenuis shoes, which are supposed
to be the ones stoleu from Mr. \\ illiain
M. Van Anden's house.
EVIDENCES OF IlOBBERY.
No evidence wus fouud that the cave
dweller committed the robbery iu tile
house of Mr. (iibb. A copy of the Bay
Shore Journal wus pinned up against the
wall with a mark drawn around an ad
vertisement offering $250 reward for the
arrest of the butcher who killed John II.
Vail's cow snd carried away a part of
the meat Fastened to the paper was a
slip giving an account of the robbery in
Mr. Van Anden's house. Copies of city
papers were strewn about. The cave, it
could be seen, bad been occupied for a
considerable time. It was constructed
by u good mechanic.
It may be interesting to state that soon
after Mr. Vail's cow had been killed by a
thief, who was in need of meat, a hog
was killed in a pun on the premises of Mr
Marvin and the hams carried away. A
few uighta later a dozen chickens were
stolen from J ustice Clock. The thief cut
their heads off and threw them oa the
justice's back stoop.
A colored man known as "Long Steve,
otherwise Stephen liiceu. was arrested
for stealing Mr. Marvin's hog and inci
dentally he waa suspected of committing
the other crimes ThoproofagainstJnu.
did not positively establish his guilt, al
though a bov who lived with him accused
him, but lie had so bad a reputation that
Justice Clock came to the conclusion that
the public welfare required him to be in
carcerated. and lie was counui.ttd to the
comity jail at Riverhead.
Notwithstanding there have been no
robberies since Green was deprived of
his liberty—a circumstance which was
thought pretty clearly to cstaoliah his
gnilt—the jieople i re now wondering
whether, after all, t i ! weller in the cave
was not the real cu.pnt. He was not
