This man Miles is traced clearly from

him as the ~ - with Crlcv on
the train, a..4 :, l..,u with whom he took
breakfast in New IEamp shire the mornin .
of the 18th knows Linn.
As to who the man really is there are
many runors The true name of the
prisoner is George White He was born
in Westmorcland. y. H., and his parents
now reside in Westminster, Vermont, he
WAS engaged in 4 Walpole. y. II robbery
some years ago and was tiled in New
Hampshire about 1861, for the Robbery OF
savings bank, and then escaped the
mrshcs Of the law. He was then con
nccted with the famous Mark >hinbonc.
His latter history is rot very mysterious
and the general character of the man is
given in the sketch which we print from :,
Troy paper. The writer of the sketch
however is rOmancin- in some of his state
ments and has several things mixed up
for instance he blund,rs fearfnlv about
the bailing of AlpIionso>, alias Curlcv
But he is undoubtedly RIGHT in stating that
Miles WAS pardoned by Gov. Dix. and
hut he was in the Harrington safe bur.l,.
ry; a to the le-t Of his statements ON
readers can take them for what the,
please. His letter evidently gives til,
New York view of the the case, and i
c"l"red by an attempt to implic;;e some
nigh officials WHO prob:,bly will be sur
pri>rd to learn of their connection with
any such man rs the arrested burglar.
The gang TINT went up TO Barre that
Jaly night WAS evidently rs precious
a Sc of skilled artist in their p, culiar line
is ever raided on country Village.
Whether the l,w will hold them j. an in
tere>ting question only 10 be solved by the
future.
