| apprehension of BREEpLovE, JEWELL. and
REINEs, charged ,0ih suspicion of stealing
about or up,cards Of One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars in Treasury Notes at Ne,o
Orleans an July last.
In consequence Of information received
and affidaviis forwarded from the authori-
ties in New Orleans TO the Secretary of the
Treasury, that John NJ BreedloUe. Joseph
". .JeweN, and Sawyer Reines, who are
charged with stealing, on or about the 26th
July, 1912, in New Orleans, large sums of
money in Treasury Notes of the United
States, viz:-S99,OOO or thereabouts were
in the city of Washington, the Police, aided
by Capt. Goddard and the Auxiliary Guard,
were put on the alert for the purpose Of ap-
pretending the suspected criminals. A
warrant was issued to officers Burr Waters,
and Dexter by Justice Giberson on Friday
last. and the next day, about eleven o'clock,
Breedlove, Jewell, and Reines were arres-
ted and taken before Justices Giberson and
Goddard for examination. Breedlove was
arrested by Capt Goddard. who was atten-
ded by officer Burr and w. II. Howison,
one Of the Auxiliary Guard, at a we'll
known house Of i'll fame situated south of
the Washington Canal, on Four-and-
street.
On the examination Of the prisoners,
who employed Mr.. Hoban as their counsel,
after the testimony of McClintock Young
Esq. Chief Clerk of the Treasury Depart.
ment, who produced the necessary afiida-
Wits and papers received from New Orleans
had been taken, and that of one or two
other witnesses, the magistrates determined
to commit the prisoners for further exami-
nation. And on~Is being suggested by Mr..
IIohan that bail could probably be obtained
for Reines, and the Justices being desired
| to state the amount of the security which
would be required in his case, The sum Of
one hundred thousand dollars was, after
proper deliberation, demanded. In default
! Of bail, the three prisoners were committed
to prison by Justices Giberson, Goddard,
and Thompson. A great crowd having as
sembled around the magistrates office, the
prisoners, who were all very genteelly
dressed. were, al their own request and ex-
pense, conveyed TO jail in two hacks, ia
custody of Captain Goddard, the Deputy
| Marshal. officers Burr, Dexter, and other
attendants.
The description of the prisoners laid be.
fore the Justices. and which was received
at the Treasury Department, correspondent
exactly with the persons of Breedlove, Jew
ell, and Reines, except that the scar on
JEWELS face, "believed to be on the left
cheek" was found to be on the right cheek.
! No doubt is however entertained that they
are the persons described in the advertise.
ment and hue and cry. But as if to re-
move all doubt on the subject, and to obvi.
ate the necessity for any further examina-
ton in this city as 10 the identity of the
prisoners, Capt. H. S. Harper, deputy U. s.
Marshal for the First Judicial District of
Louisiana, and officer John Cotton, arrived
in this city from New Orleans, (Which they
left on the 9Th inst.) about an hour after
the commitment Of the prisoners, for the
purpose of claiming them on behalf Of the
Louisiana authorities, should they appear
to have been apprehended in this city. Be-
ing present when the officers from New
Orleans visited the prisoners in jail, on Sat
urday evening, we had an opportunity Of
witnessing their mutual recognition, The
prisoners all seemed pleased to meet the Off
GERS. whom they recognized as old acquant-
ances, and expressed perfect willingness,
nay, desire TO 60 hack 10 New Orleans
