Andrew Potter, desired, en- Wednesday, to send
$50 to relative in Ohio, and not having time
to attend to dispatohing the money himself en-
gagged 4 young man named Geo. E. Leonard,
with whom he had had but short acquaintance,
to take the money to the Adams Express office
for transmission to Ohio. At about noon
Leonard started, apparently for the Otice, but
returned between i've and six o'clock In the
evening and exhibited the pocket Of his panta.
looms cut, saying he had been robbed Of the
money. Detectives olarvoe and MoDsvitt were
notihsd of the affair, and requested to work the
matter up. At 7:45 yesterday morning the de-
tectives named above succeeded in arrestinG
Leonard In q car at tho Baltimore depot just
about TO leave for New York. Leonard professei
to not know when the money was taken from
