of VIM. A. Brown, in connection with
the Leroy treasury larceny, was con-
tinued to-day. The colored janitor at

arrest, Ottoman gave him "a note adj
dressed to the German and American
Savings Bank, in substance, asking the
cashier to give the box to the bearer.
Ottoman said to him, off you attend
to this it will be big thing tor you.
Get the box and tear oft my name,
which is on the paper enclosing it, into
thousand pieces, and | will give you
five thousand dollars and house and
lot. Ifyou have a friend in Alexan-
dria with whom you can leave the box,
bury it and mark the place"
1t appeared from further testimony
of the witness that he took Ottoman's.

gave the note to the detectives and ac-
companied them to Alexandria, where
they obtained possession of the box
from Daniel and brought it to WASH
ington, where it was placed in the
Treasury vault for safe keeping, as a
special deposit. A book-keeper of
Riggs & Co.'s banking house testified
that Ottoman opened an account with
it on the Sd of July, and that Otto
mans first deposit was five thousand
dollars, and soon afterward he deposit
ted nearly five thousand dollars more.
