He came about four o'clock in the morning,
(Tueedav.) I then got up and went down

who was with him. When ne got to the cor

to the ferry boat, where I met the brothers

ends my connectiou!wit the affair"
It is fair to state here that, according to all
TINT il known, Captain Smith was il Chi
cago week before the safe Of the Express
some days afterwards.
a. MISTAKE:
= It was arranged that Mr.. Gone wss to nc
company Noyea to New York, 0stensfb1y to
asatst In the operations against True, but fn
reality to keep an eye oh the detective, aud
prevent him from making way with himself,
and B,ownte1d were dcta ailed to iook afser
Noyes' baggage, and see if he took the stolen
money along with him. It seems that they
were in the ferry boat in which the brothers
NoyeR expected to cross, but with no expec-
tation Of meeting those parties at that time.
On perceiying them Lee and BIoomfield
Smith come up. Noyes must have seen
Blownfeld, for he Went Immediately back
with Smith, and before the two officers Ice
and BroWufeld} cou1dF run down the stairs
The boat had pushed of. leaving Smith and
the two brothers Noyes on the landing. The
circumstance was noted, and BroWnfleld re-
turned to this side On the next boat tore.
Train (Noyes and Conc being on board) TO-
see that no accomp1ice got on or suspicious
baggage put aboard. Hnd thesofdcers been
quick enough to get off the ferry boat when
they vent down from the cabin, they would
have made arrangements for the arrest Of
Smith and Friend Noyes, though not Until
after Charley had gone over. =
HARD BLOWS ON SoYEs. -
After Noyes hsd gone, Major Couzins and
Ham. Best sought out young Hard, the sus~
pected clerk, to whom, alter some persua-
sion, he revealed the whole story. Fred
Noyes was at once found and arrested, and
IN order issued for the arres' Of Smith, not,
as We understand, on account Of the reyela-
tions Of Hard. but as accessories after the
fact Of the robbery, Officers at Toledo were
telegaphed to arrest the man in company
with Mr.. Gone; to search him md look for
1ls baggage. the check for the trunk was,
however. :" "slipped" by Noyes aud thereby
lost. When Charley was arrested, he took
tie matter with almost Imperturhab1e cool
nces, saying 1t was game of Couzins, Lee
and Eagan to detain him in order to give
them time to get to New York before him, to
arrest xtTrne and "ehake'' him for the stolen
money. But Mr. Cone was posted, aud knew
Somewhat better than that. =
COMPROMISE.
Noyes FIGS brought back here Thursday
night last, and confined In room at the rian-
ters' House. Up to that time, Captain Smith,
somehow could not be found. It seems the
Express men agreed with Noyes, before he
reached Missouri, that, upon the restoration
OF the money, he would BE- released, and not
told them to watch certain depot for the
trunk he described, and that theret they would
ind the money.
OCT AID IN.
Noyes WAS kspt at the Planters House by
the Express men until they received . dis
patch stating that the trunk had been found
and the money recovered, when they let him
ice to ask the suppression Of an account Of
his arrest, saying that the whole thing was a
mistake. He didn't succeed In his mission,
however. In accounting for the circumstance
Of his coming to st. Louis htndcafIcd he
stated to bis friends thai he had brought In
prevent the escape OF the aforesaid prisoner.
To Others, We hear, he said that his arrest was
merely made up thing to carry out plan In
connection with the detection OF the Express
robbers.
On Friday night, on Information Of hts release
coming to the ears OF the Police authorities,
and orders were Issued for his arrest. and he
was accordingly arrested, BY officers Lee and
Miller. Smith vas also arrested at his board
ing place, On Choteau avenue, near Clark
avenue
MISTAKE N TIE COUNT.
About the time Of the re-arrest Of our prin-
cips1 customer, or little afterwards, dis
patch was received from New York, that the
recovered money didn't hold out; that 1t was
short; that in = word, Charley had made a
slight mistake Of SIT, 900 in his count-there
beii only $4,000 in the trunk Alas
Noyes, it appeared, had broken faith.
Il should have been stated before, that In
searching the room Of Noyes, slr thousand
aelIars In greenkacks were found eecreted
under sofa We have learned that at the time
fills arrest he had on his person one thou
sand one hundred OF one thousand two hun
dred dollars. Upon Fred Noyes at tho time
of lis arrest, were found upwards Of one thou
sand one hundred dollars.
It is not known, We believe, whore the
stolen money was, from the time Of the rob-
berry up to the renting Of the house by y"J.
