Some two months more ago. gentleman named
Knox, stopping at the Lafarge House on Broadway,
was robbed of s. 600 in bank bills his in which
lie had left the money, contrary to the rules of the
establishment, being entered during his absence,
trunk broken open and the property distracted. Sus-
picion fell upon Charles Robinson of the walters
servants in the house, and he was accordingly ar
rested. Robinson was srrained before the Court OF
Sessions but the evidence being insufficient he was
acquitted By the jury who we believe did not leave
their seats.
Since that time some facts came to light in regard TO
the robbery. and officers Webb and Sweeuy of the
Lower Police Court took hold Of the matter, deter
mined to thoroughly investigate it, with view to OBJ
taring clue the perpetrator of the act. The nat
has been kept perfectly quiet until yesterday morn
ing between FIVE and ak o'clock, when officers Webb
and Sweeny pounced upon two men, one named John
Kelly and the ether Charles Robinson, the same who
was before arrested.
At the time aforementioned, the officers repaired
to Kellys house No. 60 Wet Broadway and arrested
lin took him to the Fifth Ward Station. House
locked him up and then fastened to the residence Of
Robinson in sullivan strest. They had scarcely
reached the house before they discovered Kely's
life and another woman, confederate. fastening
along to apprise Robinson Of the matter; but they
were TOO late as the officer. did not wait for ceremony
but bolted in and secured their man.
Justice Osborn Yesterday afternoon committed Kelly
ard Robinson to prison for examination.
Kelly was formerly servant in the Lafarge House,
be. left soon after the robbery and went TO Boston.
No suspicion attached to him. from the confidence he
eI loved in the house and from the fact of RObasons
arrest. Kelly wa. one Of the confidential servants in
tie house and was permitted TO go about the sstab
Eshmea, without being watched Upon his person
VIXEN arrested was found number of policy tickets
ard the following note:
"siR: see in The Herald .ha. there i. 20 sell

been seen with considerable money.
