ARRESTED ON SUspIcIoN.-Sheriff Perry,
with the assistance of Boston officers, arrested
in that city yesterday Capt. freeman W. Rob-
inson, Of the schooner "Myra," of East Suli-
van, Maine, and the crew, consisting of his son
Charles and nephew Daniel Robinson on sus-
picion of having robbed Mr.. Rogers, who was
capsIzed in the "Gipsey" last week and
drowned. The circumstances we RETAINED
from publishing some days ago at the request
of Sheriff Perry, as be was afraid that other
wise the parties might escape arrest.
The story told us was that Capt Rob. pson
said that on the day the Gipsey was capsized
the "Myra" was on her way to this port loaded
with cobble stones and plaster for the plaster
mill in this city. As she neared the Gipsey the
captain noticed the two passengers and the
man at the helm, and thought the latter looked
stupid. The Myra passed under the stern of
the Gipsey, and Capt. Robinson sung out to
the man steering the Gipsey, ''lool out or
you'll capsze." At that moment the Myra and
Gipsey both tackled, and the Gipsey capsized.
As the Gipsey went over Capt. Robinson saw
the man at the Gipsey's helm aud one of the
other men go down with the boat without
struggle, but the third man made a leap for
the mast. Afterwards this man was seen float
ing on the water, and the two young men,
Charles and Daniel, took the dory and pulled
to the spot and got Rogers part way into the
boat but fouud that the effort was capszing
the dory, so they had to let him fall back into
the wafer, while they pulled back to the schoon-
err. The schooner then proceeded up to the
plaster mill. How Capt. Robinson came to
tell this story, as we understand, was in this
way. When the Myla arrived at the plaster
mill, the captain proceeded to unload and work.
ed all night unloading SO as to be ready to
start away in the morning, very unusual pro-
ceeding, aud some questioning on this subject
caused him to say that he had very disagreea-
BILE dreams that night seeing that terrible a"ci-
dent, and then told this story Stephen Jor-
dan and his son Walter afterwards towed the
body TO land, and they were yesterday arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Adams, on suspicion of
having robbed Rogers body, but they tell
plain story. Sheriff Perry since Saturday last
has been hunting uD Capt Robinson aud his
crew, and sent dispatches all along the coast,
besides East Sullivan and Belfast, but the men
were not arrested till yesterday at wharf near
the city stables in Boston. The matter will be
thoroughly Investigated.
