rect. A signal which had been agreed
upon previously was then given, and
the officers went to the door of the Of
fee, and, on attempting 70 enter,
found it locked from the inside. In
this dilemma, Irving rushed back
into the room which they had just
vacated, and, forcing open one of the
windows, sprang through 1t into the
room, alighting on q lounge. He was
confronted by Weaver and MeQuade,
who covered him with their pistols.
Before they could fire he had grasped
one of the rufhRns by the arm, and at
the same moment Capt. Young, who,
by projecting his huge form against
the frail door, had forced it open, en-
tered the room, pistol in hand, and
ordered the men to lower their Weap'
ons. Finding themselves fianked,
they Obeyed, and were secured. In
their possession were found bonds to
the amount of $99, 900, which were
seized by Capt. Young, and, together
with the prisoners, taken to police
headquarters. Here the bonds were
identified as q portion of those stolen
from the New Windsor Bank. The
prisoners were kept in close confine'
men until requisitiOn was obtained
from Governor Swan, of Maryland,
for their rendition, when they We're
taken to Carroll county for trial. The
bonds were turned over to the
bank officers, and in return therefor
they paid into the hands of Captain
Young SIC, 900, as a reward for the re-
covery Of their property. Captain
Young thereupOn offered Detective
Irving $500 as a reward for his servi,.
ces in the affair, but this amount the
detective refused to take, demanding
one third OF the whole amount as his
share of the reward. Capt. Young
peremptOrily refused to accede to this
demand, and claimed that having
agreed to give Irving 500 tor his SER
vices, he was doing the handsome by
Offering him FIVE times that amount.
Irving alleges as the ground for his
demand, that Young promised after
the arrest was made, that he (Irving)
should ''ktand inn (have an equal
sharel with the Captain In the reward,
but this Young positively denies, but
admits that he promised If they sue
ceeded in recovering the rest Of the
bonds, Irving should ''rake" with
him in the reward. The missing
bonds were subsequently, recovered
by the. Baltimore detectives, and in
this reward Young had no share. In

the man who personated the broker
for his services, $500 to EsdalI for his
assistance, $50 to each Of the doormen
at police headquarters for their care
of the prisoners while confined there,
and these sums, it is alleged, were
paid out with the full knowledge and
consent of superintendent Kennedy.
Besides these, the expenses OF Office
hire, &C., were paid by Capt. Young
out of the reward. Irving persisted
In his demand, and threatened to
bring the matter before the Commis-
sioners, and Capt. Young stated that
sooner than relinquish the money he
had received, he would resign his po-
sition. Mutual friends stepped in to
arrange the matter amIcably, but they
failed, as neither party would recede
from his original position. Finally
Irving brought the subject before the
/ Board for their consideration, and al
a recent meeting q resolution YVES pas

for or pay in to the Board all sums oi
