next morning.
At the same time, the pious shoemaker
was observed to proceed by train to New
York, with clumsy bundle in his pos
session. BY this time the detectives were
awake, and the son of Crispin was taken
in hand His bundle was heavy with
gold plunder. The two accomplices we're
arrested soon afterward.
We understand that the strangers who
first excited remark and were subsequently
arrested; gave their names as Walcoott
and Clarke, while the shoemakeris is known
as Tristram. These gentlemen" are in
derstood to be at present in safe-keeping,
and the Express Company are quite con-
fdent that the rest of the accomplices
will be soon secured, and that nearly all
of the missing funds will be recovered.
The amount taken included about $780,
900 in gold, and $4,000 in fractional
currency, but was something less in total
than 100000. The package of bonds
of $50, 900 was no doubt left in the car
by accident. The thieves took away all
their tools except the lanterns, and not
only broke into the iron Car from side
door, but broke open three iron safes,
each of them padlocked as we'll as fasten-
ed with the common locks. They under
stood their work and performed it tho
roughly.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
Mr.. Henry Sanford one of the super
intendents of Admas Express Company,
accompanied by Officer Rogers of the E.

Justice Edward j. Shandley, No. 167

slumbers, informed him that he had GER
tain information that a large portion of
the stolen money was in the house No.
100 Division-st., in possession Of one
John B. Barmore, and that they wished
to procure a search-warrant to enable
them to search the house, and recover the
money.
The Magistrate offered to accompany
them in his official position, and authoriz-
ed them to search the house, but to this
Mr.. Sanford objected, as he was afraid it
might not be legal. Willing to satisfy
his scruples, the Magistrate then accom-
panied them to the courtroom in Essex
ST., filled up a search warrant, and accom-
panied the party to the house mentioned
Here, after short search, they succeed
ed in finding the object sought for. In
an upper room, carefully hidden, they
found SIT $50 in unsigned national bank
note bills, S5,457 in national bank note

coin of the value of 1915, and $3.50 in

day committed for examination by JUS
