Winthrop was more favorable than the others,
and SO they concluded to undertake TO 20 through

Tuesday evening, 9th, three men, named j. r.
shedelle alias big George" George Ford and
John Anderson, the former of whom is a notor-
GUS burglar, were arrested in Boston, on the ar.
rival Of the Montreal train, on suspicion of being
the men who robbed the Winthrop bank The
story Of their arrest is as follows:
Detectives Dearborn and How of the chiefs Of
fee, and private detective Chapman were led to
believe that the burglars who were concerned in
the Winthrop affair would arrive on the late train
from Montreal Tuesday evening, and accordingly
they were in waiting at the Lowell depot the
arrival OF that train at ten minutes past 10.
Among the first to attract their attention was the,
to them, wellknown face of notorious burglar
who bears national reputation in his line, and is
known "Big George" He was Immediately
Swallowed and seen to enter coach and was driv.
en- to one of our irst-class hotels. The detectives
were there before him, however, and as he was
alighting from the coach the officers made known
their Grand. The fellow appeared to be very
much surprised at this interruption in his travels
and Indignantly inquired If man was not allowed
to pass through the city unm olested. On its being
suggested to him that possibly he might be con-
nected with the Winthrop Bank robbery he de-
med all knowledge of any such robbery, and de-
clared he DID not even know of such town,
though he subsequently acknowledged that he had
read of such an occurrence. He was allowed to

Execution Of q Roy.

Wright Wheatley, boy only 16 years
old, was hung at Helena, Montana, on the
18th. His mother, brother and sister,
who reside in Iowa, had not heard from
him for six years until, last month, he
wrote and told them that he had been
convicted of murder in the first degree.
At Helena he associated himself with two
roughs. who. after wheedling him out Of
his money-some $500-persuaded him to
join them in plot to kill man who was
known always to carry several thousand
dollars on his person. He says they did
the deed and escaped, while he was cap.
tured. The sheriff iAduced him to turn
States evidence, promising either q re
lease or mitigation of the punishment.
This he did, but the jury convicted him,
at the same time recommending mercy.
The letter was written before he knew his
doom. After the sentence was passed he
wrote again, both letters being very af:
fecting documents. He said he had made
his peace with God, was innocent of the
crime charged, and was ready to die. His
brother Allen telegraphcd thus: "Mothe1
and I will come. Is it too late!' The
reply was: ''Come if you can get. by
Aug. 13. want to see MOTHER But
the sheriff, however. sent this dispatch
'sYour brother will be executed Aug. 13
Your presence will not avail You. can.
not change his fate" He was executed
at the appointed hour.

Charley Ross-.The Westervelt Trial.
Philadelphia dispatches Of the evening
of the 31st, bring reports Of the evidence
taken that day on the trial of William
Wcstervelt, charged with being party
to the abduction of Charley Ross, which
show that nothing new was elected. Mr..
Ross, father of the boy, detailed his cor.
respondence with the abductors, and all
the proceedings and many grievous dis.
appointments in the search for the boy.
Walter Ross, the brother of the stolen
lad, related the circumstances Of his ab-
duction. Following these witnesses
will come persons from Bay Ridge,
L. l., to testify to the dying words OF
Douglass, the burglar, who confessed that
himself and Mosher were the ones who
stole the boy.
The Bloomington Pantagraph of the
30th revives the strange story that the
mother of Charley Ross and the chief ot
police Of Philadelphia refused to testify
that the boy was abducted, or give any
evidence at all, when requested so to do
for the defense of parties in Bloomington
who had caused the arrest of one Dun
gon, who was suspected Of hiding the
stolen boy. Dungan's housekeeper was a
woman named Cole, mother-inrlaw o1
Mosher, and boy answering to the de-
scriptioa Of Charley Ross, was seen in his
possession about year age.

In the Westervelt trial at Philadelphia
on the lst and I'd inst, Walter Ross tes.
titled to his Identification of the dead
burglars, Mosher and Douglass, as the
men who carried away his brother Char.
ley, and two short hand reporters verified
certain reports of Westervclt's s statements

and Douglass and their places for secur.
ing the reward offered for recovery of the
boy. Superintendent Walling of the New

as to his employment of Wester.
welt to assist him in capturing
Mosher and Douglass, and that Wester.
welt deceived him by a succession of false
reports.
The New York Herald of the I'd pub.
lishes what purports to be an interview
regarding Charlie Ross between one of its
reporters and Mrs. Moshcr, wife OF Bill
Mosher, the generally acknowledged ab.
ductor Of Charlie Ross. The gist of the
interview, which is Of an improbable char.
actef, is that Mrs. Mosher says Charlie
Ross is living. Her alleged statehen
/ are full of contradictions, and the whole
interview is perhaps creation of tho brain
Of some Bohemian. There is nothing in the
story to show that Mrs. Mosher is in New
| York.

A Child Born With Two Perfect Heaile
ON one Perfect Body.
From the Window Renorter


Dame nature, who moves in mys.
terious ways sometimes, revealed
one Of her most curious freaks
in, the confinement Of Mrs. j.
II. Hyatt. the estimable landlady Of the
the Hyatt House Of this place, on the
9th and 28th Of last month, by which
she gave still-birth to child with
TWO Perfect HEADS ON ONE BODY,
which, at the solicitation of friends, the
parents consented to have preserved, and
on Sunday Lyman Clark, Esq, encased it
in alcohol, where we were permitted to
see it on Monday and obtain this descrip.
ton for publication.
The corse Is twenty inches long from
top Of head to end Of toes, and between
six and eight inches from point to point
of shoulder, the encasement preventing
exact measurement, and weighed twelve
pounds at birth. The body is a per.
feet female figure, fully and hand
somely developed. without deformity in
any particular, though there is little
distortion of the ankles and one Of the
heads, caused by the severity of manipu'
lation required in the delivery, and the
two arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet and
toes have the distinct and perfect form Of
a natural and healthy child, the only dis
tinguishable difference of the entire body
being in the unusually broad shoulders
upon which rest two distinct, independent
and perfectly developed heads Of the av
erage size of an eight or nine pound child
both apparently Of size.
! The faces are perfect, resemble eacf
other in every detail, and each possessing
a beauty rarely seen in infants, the eyes
ears, noses and mouth being distinct, ant
fully and equally mrtured on each head
The necks are Of usual length, ant
Doctors Allen and Brown are satisfied
that a branch Of the spinal core. extend
to each head and has = Junction with th'
main cord high up in the back. and ar'
also of the opinion that there is but ont
heart and one pair Of lungs.
From each head to the point of th'
shoulder is about the same distance a
on children in general. and the heads. i,
an upright position, are separated by I
short space. the ears nearly touching, ant
on the back Of the shoulders is a flesh,
lsubstance just rising above the surface o
1 the skin between the heads. In short, i

female form, with two equally develope,
