The HERALD ofyesterday morning contained ex.
cusively, the account of the arrest of the Phenx
Bank robbers We have since ascertained that
Charles Wheeler, one of the rogues arrested, was
convicted about ten years since ofrobbing the same
bank Of $780, in company with Thompson, alias
Scales, and William Abbey, alias Allen. and An.
| struther. Abbey and Scales are now in the Boston
State Prison for other offences The draft OF $500
| obtained by Conroy and Wheeler, from the Butchers
and Drovers' Bank, that led to their arrest, was
| traced by O. M. Lowndes, Esq who Immediately
requested non-payment, agreeing to indemnify the
bank from any loss in case of suit against them by
| these rogues for its recovery. The money they re-
ceveo from the Long Island Bank in exchange for
| the Highland Bank notes stolen from the Phsnx
was paid by ConIoy to the Cashier Of the Butchers
and Drovers' for the certificate. The notes being of
| 500 each, it became somewhat easy to ferret out
the affair, and upon inquiry Mr. Lowndes found that
the certificate had been given out in the name of
James Watson, Of Philadelphia, and false place of
residence inserted as the house where he was board
ing in this city. This produced suspicion, and
when the certificate had been offered to Merritt Il
Miller, under the peculiar circumstances attending
it, no doubt could exist as to the guilt of the rogues
| who have been arrested.
o. M Lowndes, ESQ has been on the alert for
several weeks detect these rogues in this business
and it is to his efforts mainly that they have been
| finally placed in prison.
