MANHATTAN BANK ROBBERY.
New YoRK, June The whole story of
the Manhattan Savings bank burglary is at
last out through the confession Of one Of
the burglars. Saturday night Capt. Byrnes
and his detectives arrested Henry Glenn,
Patrick Schoolin and VIM. Kelly on charge
of being implicated in the robbery whereby
money and securities worth nearly three
million dollars was stolen the night of the.
9th of October, 1878. One of them has
confessed the whole plot to Capt.
Byrnes. The robbery was planned more
than three years ago. A burglar known
as Little Tracey first coAcocted the scheme
and organized band to rob the bank. 1t
was broken up, however, by the arrest and
conviction of most of the members of the
gang for other crimes. Then he organized
a second gang, in which were Jimmy Hope,
Geo. Howard, John Dobbs, Jim Brady and
others. They also had in league with them
man employed as watchnan at odd hours in
the bank. Two attempts were made by the
gang to rob the bank, But each failed through
inability of the watchman to meet his en-
gagements. This gang also broke up, but
Hope thoroughly convinced of the possibil:,
ity of his scheme lost no time in re-organ-
izing his forces. Dobbs, "Big Kid" who was
on toot again and others equally skilled and
desperate joined him, and the work was be
begun in earnest.
On Sunday morning, when the friendly
wa.chman was on duty in the bank, Hope
was let into the building, and used his op-
portunity to thoroughly examine the vaults,
and took an impression of the keyhole. The
watchman, Patrick Steven, was an apt schol-
ar, and soon returned the lump which the
burglar had brought with animpression from
which the latter was able to make key for
the street door on Bleecker street, which was
found to ft, and which was put by for use.
This attempt also failed for want of time, but
an entrance to the vault containing the safe
was effected.
s-hk fho no
opened with watchman Stevens. Finally
the Job was put up for Sunday morning the
| 9th of October and in it were Jimmy Hope,
Kelly and Dobbs together with the night
watchman Stevens. It is thought Stevens
would have charge of the bank that night
but an accident prevented it. The gang re-
solved, however, to cary ont the plans after
the night watchman had left and when the
day watchman came on. How well it was
carried out every one knows and that three
million dollars were carried away Kelly
stood guard over the manacled janitor. He
gave them the combination to the safe being
in mortal terror of his life.
The detective went hard to work and after
long search John Dobbs and the younger
Hope were arrested. Watchman Steven was
shadowed early and late and was found
drinking hard and spending money lavishly.
He was arrested few days ago and finally
confessed the whole plot to Capt. Byrnes,
and Kelly was arrested on his return from
Jerome Park.
Stevan says each member of the gang was
assessed 5000, after getting their money, 6
share, which was sent to Washington to de-
feat the bill introduced in Congress to du
plicate the stolen bonds, as if it passed il
would be difficult to negotiate the originals
Meanwhile the various town bonds stolel
we're negotiated, and Stevan got $4,000 al
his share therefrom, and Jimmy Hope wen
to Washington to have the bill stopped
Kelly, when arrested, denied his guilt
but when confronted with Stevan h
burst out into fit of swear
ing and said the bank ha'
to pay dividend on June first, and to do
would have to come to terms and settle witt
United States. There are three more mem
bers of the gang yet at large, but they al
known and will soon be arrested. The tris
of the younger Hope begins Wednesday.
