second and third fingers and lodged the palm, where
the ball remains. Both robbers then ran towards
Westport followed by Mr. Nash who lost sight Of them

the account in the Hour exactly correspond. West
port is exactly forty y-hve miles from New York.
The lost pocketbe0k was found ten days after the
occurrence about three miles north OF Westport,
and the opinion prevails that the robbers may have
had the watch and chain on their persons when ar

feels confident he could Identity the men, and will.

chusetts State Prison for that purpose.
