Baltimore. On their arrival at headquarters,
the bank officials Immediately identified the

Of Weaver and AcQuade as portion OF the

Of a writ Of Aabsas corpus. These papers hav-
ing been obtained and perfected yesterday. the

vulged, as II is understood that il would not b.

the arrest Of the alleged thieves and the re-
covery Of the missing bonds reflects great credit
upon the officers engaged IN working up the
