nelghboiing state, who has had some
experience with Miles, wrote to Mr..
Dillingham; that Miles alibi claim was
an Old dodge with him. He said that
before one robbery Miles committed, he
took his wife to place in Canada. and
showed himself about town conspcu-
ously for several days. Then it was
gwen out that he was sick, and while
ne was supposed to be con .ined in the
house, he slipped out, participated in
the burglary, and appeared in the
streets, III few days convalescent. He
thinks as much of an alibi as old Tony
Weller did. Mr.. a. w. Wheelock. of
Natertown, the state sheriff of Jeffer-
son county, n. Y, was present in court
during the trial of Miles, and fully
identified him as the man who, under
the name of Albert Williams, with three
others, broke into the Hungertord Bank
ut Adams, n. Y, in the spring of 1871,
and was sentenced to ten wears in the
State Prison. He escaped after serving
year or two, and, having been par
doned as an escaped convict by Gov.
DIX, went to Washington and helped
commit the Washington safe burglary.
He made two desperate attempts to es-
cape ON Jail at Watertown-once by
saving through the iron doors of his
cell, and once by blowing open one OF
the main doors of the Jail with gunpow-
der, but both We're unsuccessful. Mr..
Dillingham;, in fact, has received letters
from various sections of the country in
regard to Miles, congratulating him ON
his arrest, and trusting that lie would
at last receive his deserts One from
the veteran detective, Moses Sargent
III which was an account of Miles con-
nection with the Walp0le Bank rob
berry. at which time Miles was keeping
hotel in StOneham, Mass. As is well
known Miles was arrested for this along
with the notorious Max Shinbone. and
escaped from Jail before conviction.
Sargent says that Miles is "a plausible
and slippery fellow, and well calculated

The Case of Miles.

AN INSIDE VIEW OF THE INSTANCES
OF HIS EXPLOITS.
Mr.. Dilliugham's indomitable pluck.
energy and perseverance, have at last
been rewarded by Miles incarceration.
and our State Prison now contains,
take him all ia all. the most conSum-
mate rascal in the United States. The
contest between him and society being
over for the present, and the ends OF
Justice SubSerVed, We are enabled to
lay before our readers an account of
some of the iHcilentS connected with
the pursuit and capture of the burglars
which have never before been made
public.
No HONOR AMONG THIEVES.
Miles owes his present sad plight in
great part to its own seltishuesS, and
his reluctance of the taking care of any
body else except Number One. As
Curley himself expresses it, when the
gang went out on the Barre expedition,
George knew | was broke" Miles
got back to New York on Saturday af-
ter the burglary; yet he did not go
near Mrs. Curley for il week, and then
said nothing to her of CuIley's arrest :;
but merely Informed her that he had
fallen of a train in Vermont, and that
he would keep her posted. He forgot
his promise, however, and she found
out through some of her friends, after Il
while, what the trouble really was. All
this time she was utterly destitute of
money, and Miles not coming near her.
she determined to go to him, thinking
that she ought to have her share of the
thirteen hundred dollars in unsigned
bills which were stolen. if nothing else.
She found him ut the BrevOOrt stables,
leading off of University place. New
York. and asked him for fifty dollars to
enable her to move her furniture to
Troy, where her mother lived. He
said he didn't have it then but would
bring it to her in a few days. He did not
come, and she sought him again. This
time he drew sir dollars from his pocket,
and said if that would do her any good
she was welcome to it. She indignant
ly refused it, and turning OIL her heel,
troubled him no more. AT this very
time Miles was flush with money. He
owned and still owns, two or three good
houses in the upper part Of the city, the
Bervoort stables, which are now car
ried on for him and considerable per-
sonal property. He is estimated by
good judges, well acquainted with him,
to be worth more than one hundred
thousand dollars ut IA low estimate. In
spite of all this, he gave nothing to
Mrs. Curley in her strait, nor would he
or Kingsland or German contribute one
cent towards bailing Curley out. Mean
while poor Pete was lying there in Jail
recovering from his bruises, and
feeling very blue. indeed. AS he pa
thetically expressed it i'll his testimony,
"nobOdy came to see me-" His loyalty
to his fellows would not permit his
writing home, for that would give the
officers the track, and his wife could
not write to him for she did not know
what alias he had assumed. Meanwhile
two of Pete's friends in New York, one
of them Mike Murray, IA famous sport
ing" character there, had contributed

PLANNING TO ESCAPE.

Mr.. Gleason. Miles senior counsel.
stated in his remarks to the court. be-
fore the close of the case on Thursday
morning, that his client wished him to
state that he really did make an at
tempt to escape from the State Prison.
but that he was led to do it from the
sense OF injustice which he was suffer
ing.
Miles never intended to stay in the
State Prison and await trial. There j.
no doubt that rescue was intended at
the time of the hearings at Woodstock.
in February but the vigilance of the
Washington county officers prevented
it. If Miles had contested the case and
any credence as to his previous cbarac-
ter had been needed, Mr.. Dillingham;
had plenty of Witnesses ready whose tes-
timony would have been convincing.
