GEO. p. MILLER AND THE PART HE PLAYED IN TIA
THIRD ACconIrLIcE BELEGUERED AT TYRONE.
The intimation was made, yesterday by one of
our city dailes that Geo. P. Miller, who, several
years ago, was cashier of the Newark Bank, was
an accomplce in the intended robbery. Such,
however, is not the fact On the contrary, 1t
was through his foresight and ingenuity that the
plot was detected. Returning from the West
some six months ago, his suspicious we're excited
by some iDcomprehensible remarks made to him
by Adams, the principal robber and he at once
ingratiated himself into his confidence. Alter
he had gathered all the facts he desired, he
communicated his Information to the President
of the institution, and in this way the plot was
detected. The arrests would have been made
long ago, only the plot was not far enough de-
veloped to convict the pat ties, and was made on
Monday only after the officers OF the institution
were assured by Attorney General Lore that
the penalty was as great for the conspiracy to
rob the bank as for the actual commission OF
the deed.
Young Miller. it is stated, has been addicted
to drink, but his honesty has never been ques
toned.
Detectives we're notified yesterday that Aiken,
another accomphce, was at Tyrone, Pa, and
they at once went in pursuit. AT last accounts
he was surrounded aud likely to be arrested at
any moment. 1t il, Of course, optional with him
to come to this State without requisltlon This
however, would delay his incarceration in New
Castle Jail but few days at most.
WHAT ANSWER ?-Is Miss Dickinson for Grant
or Greeley Who is authorized to speak for the
| lady and say which candidate she favors for the
Presidency: Some people suppose she is not
| against Grant for since the opening OF the cam
paign, she has been silent. Who has heard her
| Ant-Grant speeches since he Philadelphia Con-
| ctittiOn? Others believe she desires Greeley 3
| elecl ion. Now II this were 80, why has not the
| Greeley party employed her to make speeches
| on that sldeI II money would haye purchased
one hundred speeches against Grant IN the cam
| paign from her eloquent lips, would the lucre
| have been Nithheldl These are knotty ques'
rions aud we refer them to tho people for so
| lutiOns.
At all events the people all desire to hear her
on the labor question and will jam the Opers
House GU Monday next.
