-FF 81 So HOaV 1t sgas Done. Nt 90 =

- NEW YORK, Feb. IA.
Full details of the naOdus operandi of the
detectives in securing the arrest of the rob-
bers of the Concord Bank and their plumber
are published here this morning. 1t appears
that after many unsuccessful efforts on the
part of Messrs. Heath, Jones and Hunt, Bos-
ton detectives, which includes trips to Phila-
delphia and other places, in which efforts they
were aided by New Y rk detectives, they final
ly discovered some of the missing bonds on
man in this city, who was willing to sell them.
Through his confession and information on
January 22d, detectives Hunt, Dunn, and
some of the New York detectives, proceeded
to Camden, N. j., opposite Philadelphia, thence
during the night 10 miles down the shore of
the Delaware to a cottage near the village of
PaulsbOrO, where the chief robber, a notorious
counterfeiter, named Langdon w. Moore, alias
Charley Adams, resided, and was taken to
New York and committed on charge OF bur-
glary. Nothing was found on Moore.
The house was thoroughly searched, cur
tains pulled down, carpets ripped up, desks
broken open, beds examined, and the wains-
cotting and flooring OF all the rooms examin-
ed, but the search was unsuccessful. On dig
ging under the stable, however, they found a
glass jar, Theoretically sealed, a few feet below
the surface, which contained 100000 in
bonds. They next dug some four feet below
the sill Of water gate, on the bank OF the riv-
er, below high water mark, where they found
tin box containing $4,000 in bonds. All
the bonds have been identified by the bank of
fcers, and altogether $196,4S1 of the stolen
property were recovered and given over to the
bank officers. 49,,
Moore is here in prison, awaiting requisi-
tion from the authorities of Massachusetts
BY the statement of Moore, he and an accom-
pliee waited eight months for an opportunity
to rob the bank, and succeeded in doing SO in
broad day light, by using false keys while the
cashier was at dinner. Moore's accomplice
was Harry Howard, alias English Harry, who
has doubtless left the country. -
