AN INTERESTING STORY. -r-.e .-.r
The story of the Carbondale bank rob-
berry IS one Of the most Interesting records
of modern crimes, and reveals plot so in
tensely dramatic, that the details will amp
ly repay perusal. 1t appears after the rob-
bers had secured their prize they were in
regular quandarv what to do with it. 1t
was to their consciences as trying as the
tenacious old man of the sea in the fable.
and they were constantly removing 1t from
place to place, stealing it from each other
and sub-diyiding it to silence grumbling ac-
cessories until it was considerably scattered.
With view to making our account authen-
tic beyond contradiction. we waited on Mr..
Rob't a. Pinkerton, yesterday afternoon.
and CLEANED from him the following true
story of the affair, which we give almost
wCrd for word as he told it, with the ex-
certion of the names of the characters who
figured in the crime
~ a TIE DoUBLE PLOT.
There were two plots to rob the bank.
The first contemplated its robbery at mid
night, and was planned by some of the par
ties at present under arrest and several
others who were not taken into the plot
contemplating the daylight robbery. The
night robbery was planned at meetings held
in coal mine short distance from the
city. There were ten men in this plot be-
sides several outsiders. The plan origina-
ted about eight months ago. The parties
to the plot noticed that old Mr.. Stott used
TO work alone in the bank at night, and
that Duggan, the chief of police, used to do
duty as watchman at the bank, and in or
der to carry out the robbery successfully,
it was necessary to put Duggan- out Of tie
,,saY
They then intended to 90 to the bank,
rap at the door-so Us to bring the cashier
to the door-and then rush past and over
power him before he could use any fire
arms. Then they proposed to friShten
him with pistols into opening the safe, and
if Necessary TO dispatch him.
The meetings at which this hellish, de-
sign. was natured were regularly and well
attended. Each participant in the plot 60
ing singly at the dead Of night to the mine
in which they we're held and returning in
The same way. This plot fell through in
consequence Of two Of the most prominent
men Withdrawing from it, because murder
was contemplated 1t was supposed that
the bank contained from eighty to one hun
dred thousand dollars, and the thieves had
set their hearts on a great haul After this
plot was frustrated, one Of the active par
ticipants in it thought that there was good
chance for

was in the habit of letting his two clerks

the bank The last clerk left the bank
precisely at noon, the other left fifteen min
utds before him, and for about twenty-five
minutes the cashier was left alone. This
fact altogether with the isolated condition
of the bank which stands by itself inspired
the robbers with confidence of easily secur-
ing that for which they had worked so
earnestly and well. -----s 81. ---.
II was also discovered that Mr.. Stott
left the key sticking in the inside of the

hunted down by the detectives forms an
interesting chapter in the history Of this
curious crime. The first cluegy was obtained
from several of the storekeepers who OBJ
served two Of the principal robbers in the

He Gets Tripped on a Dispatch.

IT will bs remembered that on the 9th
ultimo a boy named Adolphe Heinz was
arrested, charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses. His line of work then was
in the bill of lading business
He was arraigned before Judge Evans and
released ON bonds, but with him it seems that
the ruling passion was strong in death, tor no
sooner had he been released from prison than
he went straight to work again, but selected
new line of business This time he selected
the captains of ships for his victims, and gave
them touch of the telegraph onddence
game.
He first went to the captain of the l.. L.
Sturges and presented the following dispatch,
upon which he collected rs cents:
LIVERPOOL Oct /, 1875
Vessel L. L. Sturgess, Captain Liverpool:
The mate of your vessel Is mere ana ID
bound for Havre. He says your vessel Is
bound for New York, on the Both OF October.
Please send me an immediate answer.
Yours, ETC.,
He then went to the captain OF the ship
Mary G. Riggs and presented similar dis
patch. and demanded 81 so for its payment.
The captain was too sharp, and told him
that when persons sent dispatches to gain in
formation for themselves that they should
prepay the message. He then went to the
next vessel, when the captain of the Riggs
saw him and Immediately suspected That
something was not right; he started over to
the ship, but before he arrived Heinz had
beat a hasy retreat. There he was informed
that the young rascal, after presenting dis
patch, had endeavored to collect ten cents
from each one of the crew, as customs dues
The two captains imm ediately went to the
Central Station and placed the matter before
Capt Malone, Chief of Detectives. who sent

residence, and from there conducted to the

The history of Louisiana has no date as i'm
portant as the memorable one that heads this
article. We scarcely realize even now how
great a work was on that day performed. 1t
was the great turning point in our struggle
against oppression. On that day we tore the
veil from the hideous mockery of the usurpa-
ton. And proved what hollow fraud it was.
Toen our fellow citizens of the North and
West paused to listen to the story Of our
wrongs. Then the Louisiana Case" began
to be understood and the freemen OF the
nation, in thunder tones, rebuked our oppres-
sors. Then began the "great tidal wave"
that is sweeping the spoilers away; and yet.
we must not forget the brave men who sui
fered for us on that day, who barred their
breasts to the murderous bullets.
The patriotic ladies of the city, year ago,
organized the Crescent City Relief Associa-
ton, "for the purpose of affording assistance
To our brave defenders of the l4th of Sep
TENDER. 1874" Some $l3,800 have been
raised; $4,000 were distributed among the
families of the dead, and over $4,000 have
been expended in aiding the wounded. The
funds Of the association are nearly exhausted,
and some eight persons yet remain to be
cared for-one a helpless, delicate widow,
with five little children. She did not partici-
pate in the $4,000 distribution, as her hus-
band lived for some time afterwards and her
claims were not made known. One poor fell
low still lies helpless in bis bed; three others
have lost limbs, and all are in need.
Louisianians this is no "charity" that
appeals to you. 1t is debt, sacred debt,
we owe these noble men. They are our
charge, and it is our duty to care for them
until grateful State can make provision fol-
their support.

THE RIO BRAVO.

1t would seem that Nature has conspired
with her agents, the elements, against the good
ship Rio Bravo, and has issued fat against
her ever reaching the Rio Grande. The
memory of aged inhabitants may date back to
time when it is reported the Rio Bravo left
this port for Mexico, but the time is so far
back it is more matter Of tradition than
history.
The confding public still entertain hopes
that she will reach her destination some time,
and in order to keep these alive we publish
the following telegram received yesterday by
the United States Marshal:
