A few days since a couple of gentlemen doing
business in Boston arrived in this City from tour in
the West. They had trunks containing money SAM
pies of rich goods, ETC.. to the amount of $4,000.

he'd followed them from Philadelphia or some point
beyond it-for it seems he pretty well acquainted
with the description of their baggage-called at the
railroad depot and asked if his trunks had arrived
from Philadelphia, at tho same time giving salts
factory description of theirs t. the baggage-maser or
agent in charge He then ordered the trunks to be
Boston. This being arranged to his liking he dropped
the checks into his brooches pocket and left Some time

claimed their trunks, and after much trouble gave un.

themselves as being and further, that the first and alb

gentlemen procured duplicate checks for their bag
gage which they hastily followed to Boston and there

disappointed in going to Boston with hs baggage, and
requested that he the Captain would telegraph on to
have his trunks detained till he should arrive, which

be seated till he coud arrange some small matters
and then he would attend to him. Meantime Officer

Ferry came and arrested the fellow, who gave his
mime as John Williamson. He was taken before
