New YORK, Nov. 15.-The Times this
morning says Not only has Stewards
body been found, but the perpetrators have
been discovered. Very complete evidence
has been secured, sufficient beyond all cavil,
to send each one of the thieves to States
Prison, and an officer of the law holds
| every man in his grasp, only awaiting the
| signal to drag item to prison. Those hav
ing the custody Of the body are an entirely
| different set of persons from those who ac-
tually perpetrated the robbery, and the
conspiracy branched out beyond these two
| classes, inclosing in Its limits sseveral Others
We are not yet permitted to mention
names, but when the full story comes out,
to use the language of one of the chief
officials engaged in the search, it will raise
the hair on the heads of people of Nov
York. Several persons of hitherto unquDs-
tionable responsibility, who would never
be suspected OF completely in such a crime,
are among the most guilty participants in
the hcllish plot. 1t is believed that the
guilty parties know that they are shadowed,
for they all exhibif considerable nervous
ness. 1t was not intended to make any ar
rests last night. The probabilities are that
q complete sweep will be made to-day and
time.
The World says: 1--WE have reason to be-
lieve that all the participants in the rob-
bing of the Stewart vault, except one, are
under surveillance in New York, and the
whereabouts Of the her and of the remains
are known. The remains, it is said, can he
produced at any moment, and the efforts of
the police are directed to insuring the con-
victiun of the robbers"
Some of the innumerable letters received
by Judge Hilton in regard to the robbery
are furnished for publication. 81 600, 600 is
the largest sum demanded for the return of
the remains, but it is proposed also to car
ry off Judge Hilton himself, and demand
$40, ,000, 00O for restoring him.
New York, Nov 15.--It is reported that
one of the Stewart grave robbers had an in
tervicw Wednesday with Mr.. Libley, and be-
ing promised reward and immunity from

body was concealed and that acting on the
information received the person in charge
of the body was arrested 1t is said the
body is now in the possession of detectives.
