Hotel kObberies and an ImpOrta nj


This morning a complaint was lodged at po-
lice headquarters by Mr.. Willard, OF the Ebbitt
House, that the hotel had been deprecated on
last night, and Hon. h. l.. Dawes room entered
and robbed of pocket book containing q small
amount OF money and some valuable papers
Information had also been given that the I'm
perial Hotel had been robbed. Chief of Detec-
tives Clarvoe set all the detectives at work and
this afternoon Messrs. McDevitt and Coomes
took into custody two men, whom the Off cers
say are noted hotel beats, named Jimmy Riley
ond Jimmy Lyons, alias Boston Jimmy" and
took them to headquarters, where evidence
was obtained OF their connection with the
sheft at the Ebbtt house. Lyons is the same
man who in May, 1867, stole 9 900 worth
of diamonds from Mrs. Gen. John b. Foster, at
hotel In this city, which were recovered by
Chief Clarvoe and Detective McDevtt, but
Lyons escaped. These men are doubtless the
same referred to in the Baltimore Sun of this
morning as having robbed the Mount Vernon
hotel in that city on Friday night, as they
answer the description sent to Chief Ciarvoe this
morning by the detective firm Of Smith, Pier
son & West, Of that city. They took in Balti
eled ring set with diamonds, an oval cameo
ring, a blOOdstone seal ring, with engraving
"think of me-" pair of black enameled ear
solitaire pearl earrings. gold chain, q coral
earring and breastpin to match, pair of blue
