EoLD BOND ROBBERY.

a Man Robbed I'm the Sub-TrcasHry-67,3JO
stolen by Unknown Persons.
0fccr walker, or the First precinct police ycster
William Dunham. while in the United States Sub.
Treasury, had been robbed by some unknown
person Of $3.50 in bonds and currency. The
particulars OF the robbery, as furnished by the
police, are very meagre and somewhat vague.
Mr.. Dunham, 1t appears, IL the President Of
and acted as messenger for the National Bank
ne entered the United States Sub-TreaSury with
1850 worth or bonds and currency IN q morocco
Dag. Tne gentleman az once proceeded TO the cur.
rency desk and deposited MS morocco Dag upon the
counter opposite to him. After having placed the
bag IN this position Mr.. Dunhans attention was by
some means called by two unknown men
70 70 series Of printed rules placed over
turned TO his position, intending to take up his
bag but was surprised to md that 1t had been re-
moved and carried away. Mr.. Dunham at once sls-
pected tat the men who had attracted his attention
10 the rules were the thieves and this suspicion was
Increased by the fact tnat both had disappeared.
Therc seems every reason TO believe that hls Sus
pici0nS are true and that the thieves had followed
the robbery was reported to officer Walker no
trace Of the supposed thieves could be found. This
robbery proves the necessity OF detectives being
placed upon this floor OF the SUB Treasury building
where the detectives are stationed, great opportu-
mites are afforded to thieves To operate on the 0or
with scarcely any chance OF detection.
tls understood that MIR. Dunnam's Intention was
TO obtain currency for the bonds, ana hence his
visit to the Sub-Treasury. The following Is list OF
the bonds stOlen:--0ne bond OF 1864. $1,000; one
bond or 1885, $1,000 three bonds OF 1857 $3 900; two
bonds " 1867, $1,000; twelve bonds Of 1857 Sl 200;
