The New Orleans Bulletin of the 18th
tells of the arrest of two brOthers named
John A. and Thos. Purcell, clerks of the
steamer Mittie Stevens, at TIA city.
The arrest was made on suspicion of
their having stolen the sum of 1852,
the gold shipped on the LIST inst. by s
firm in New Orleans to another in
Shreveport, signed for by John A. Pur-
cell, as clerk of the Stevens, but never
delivered. They were bound over to APP
pear. The Bulletin goes on to say
Now the most singular part Of this
story is to be related The chamber
maid Of the Mittie Stevens having &C.
casion, Yesterday about noon, to go into
the cook's galley for some article, de-
manded from the cook his keys, asst was
locked up in a cupboard. The cook was
at his duty over the stove, and in a high
state OF perspiration. He put his hand
into the pocketso Of his pants, which we're
somewhat tight, and drew GU the keys
6tR along Wi{R them came fee tt0eHty dol
Iar gold pieces, which fell upon the floor
and rolled of in various directions. In
mediately calling -hecsptain, the cham
bermRid directed his attention to this
significant display OF wealth on the part
Of the knight Of pots aud kettles, and
that worthy was without more ado ar
rested and searched. Only the five
pieces above mentioned were then dis
covered but it was remembered that he
had gone Ashore early ia the morning,
50 they ct nee proceeded to his resi-
denve, and upon searching his trunk the
whole amount was found. 1t appears
that he had by some means discovered
that the clerks had forgotten to deliver !
the gold at Shreveport, AMI bad man
aged to enter their staterOOm and ex-
tract it on the trip-down.
SO much for the justice OF eircum-
stautial evidence. 1.-THE chRmbermaid
had not accidsnty called upon The cook |
for bis keys, it is more than likely that
two honest aud honorable young gentle
men would have been condemned as
thieves, or at the least had their reputs-
lions blasted forever. @
