THE FATE OF CHARLEY ROSS.

From the New York Sun
4 few weeks ago Boston detective
called at the Fifth Avenue Theatre and
explained to Mr., Stephen Fiske that
he was in confidential communication
with Mrs. MOsher, the widow of the
man who had stolen Charley Ross f:
that she was evidently exercised in
mind in regard to the secret of the
boys fate that she had heard
of the stolen child in 'Pique," and
was anxious to see the play if she
could come to the theatre unobserved /;
and he believed that, under the in
fiuence of the play, she might be in
duced to make the confession which
she had hitherto refused.
These facts having been represented
TO Mr.. DAILY, he placed his own private
box at the service of the detective I,
and the next evening Mrs. Mosher was
brought quietly to the theatre. She
was plain, elderly woman, neatly at
tired in black, and was accompanied
by a female friend. During the
progress of the play she laughed and
cried with the rest of the audience,
but did not exhibit any special peTtm-
baton until the last act. The sorrow
Of the heroine Miss Fanny Davenport
then appeared TO move her strangely
When Miss Davenport exclaimed,
Hes dead Mrs. MOaher rocked her
self backwards and forwards, and re.
peated Hes dead Yes, he's deadH'
The Joy in the RenfeW family, when
the stolen child was restored, also af-
fected her deeply.
At the close of the performance
Mrs. Mosher and the detective left the
theatre as quietly as they had entered;
the detectiy, whispering T. Dir, Fiske
as they passed, II think IL has been
success !" No further revelations were
youchsafed until Wednesday, when
Mr. Christian X. Ross, the father of
the abducted boy, visited Superintend-
ent Walling, and held long confer
ence in reference to some new clews
which have been DISCOVERED. Ii is
believed communications have passed
between Mrs. Mosher and her brother,
W esteryelt, now under sentence IN
MOyamennng prison, and that the fate
Of Charley Ross is shortly 10 be cleared
up.

They were received there by a man
named Bell, to whom they described
themselves as eXcursiOnists he at
tended to the horses, and accompanied
them TO the coast where a boat bad
put on shore belonging to the Ameri-
can whaler Catalpa.
The boat was manned by one white
man and five or six men of color. The
prisoners told Bell they were going on
board. They had given him money,
and he asked them what to do with
the horses and traps The reply was,
Let them go to hell. On looking
into one of the conveyances he found
in it three prison felt hats, some pat
ent revolyers, ammunition, and a ram
rod. He at once suspected that they
were escaped convicts, and gave the
alarm to the police. The Georgette,
with fourteen pensioners, followed by
the water police boat, put of in pur
suit. The GeoTgette steered in the di-
rection of the whaler and overlook her

land. The mate was in charge, and
said the captain was not on board.
The Georgette had in consequence to
return TO Freemantle The boat be-
longing to the whaleT had been over
loaded in consequence of the prisoners
being added to the crew, and was un-
able to stand a sea way. She kept
along the land during the day, and was
followed by the police boat many
miles astern. The boat, however,
reached the Catalpa, was picked up by
her, and left with the fugitives.
