ON arriving in Baltimore, il was still safely locked,
but one of the keys had disappeared | learn,
however from the conductors OF the train, that the
sgent was asleep most of the night, IN one OF the
baggage cars, and that he depended entirely on
bolts and bars, which he probably neglected to
Nsten. However, the money has doubtless falen
