The Sheriff then sent Lee and Grant out to once again search for the money. The next day the A.J.S. Bank manager, Thomas Hall, and another man joined the search. The money inside a valise was eventually found inside a half-burnt stump, with another stump placed up against it to cover the contents. The money had been hidden about half-a-mile from Mrs. Ottley's residence, about twenty yards from the road and about the same distance from the Saw Mill paddock fence.
