The body of A. T. Stewart, the
merchant prince of New York, was
stolen from the family vault in St.
Marks ehurchyard Wednesday night
The discovery was not made until
eight o'clock Thursday morning when
the following order was issued by ms
spector Dilks:
To ALL PREcINcTs The remains
of A. T. Stewart were last night stolen
from the family vault in st. Mark ;

broken, aud the body removed. The
decomposition of the remains is so of

opening of the vault this morning.,
consequently it cannot be taken across
