The STOLEN MONEY OF THE MILTON
BANK.-The Boston Times of the 23d
ult., says:
About two weeks since a man went
into GoodWins, the broker in State
street, with $50 bill on the Dorchester
and Milton Bank, and requested Mr.
Goodwin to send it to the bank for him
and get it changed promising to call tor
the amount in the afternoon. lie left;
afternoon came, but the man did not.
Officer Starxweather was notified of the
circumstance Immediately after the man
left the office i'll the morning, and was
on the lookout, which fact the cum
know NJ probably was aware of. The
$50 note has been lying in MIR. Good
win office ever since, and will to-day be
sent to the bank.
More facts about this matter are daily
coming to light. A man named Thomas
Key, we'll known to the police, was ar
rested in this city yesterday by constable
G. J. Coolidge. He will be taken to
Dedham for examination. There is moth
ing very strong against him, as yet.
-Four or five days ago, Joseph Jewell,
who formerly kept drinking house in
this city, in fremont Row, suddenly
shut up his house IN New York, and
"mizzled" The New York officers pur-
sued and arrested him. On his person
was found the sum of $4,000 in Dor
chester and Milton Bank bills. The JUS
tice asked him where he got the bills,
and he said from John H. Brooks, of the
"Grey Eagle Saloon" in Providence.
Information was Immediately sent to
Providence, Brooks was arrested, and
held to bail iE the sum Of $4,000 for
examination next Saturday. Mean
while, Jewell is held in custody. He is
supposed to know something about the
robbery of the Bank of Westerly, Il. l.,
which "came OFF, last April. There can
be no doubt that the officers have
strong clue to the Dorchester and Milton
Bank robbers.
If nothing is proved against those men,
(and they may say they won 1t at play,
from parties unknown to them,) the bank
will recover large portion of the stolen
money. However, we learn from good
authority, that the bank is about to wind
up its affairs, and settle all its business
honorably of course.
