Thas Mysterious Arrest as Chicago
CHICAGO, October 22d-Great mystery
still attends the arrest Of the unknown man
yesterday. and he was guarded all night by q
trio Of officers. IL is stated that his valise
contained S2Q4.0G1 or more in Government
bonds, and that he had several Thousand dol
lars il money ca his person. He
submitted gracefully to the arrest, and
expressed no surprise when taken into
custody. The Government officials have
telegrsphed enj ming the utmost Sc
crecy in the matter. consequently
no facts can be CLEANED from the United
States officials here-aot even the name or
residence OF tie unknown. It is copiectured
that he IS NOT the principal IN the matter, but
is an accsmpiics or ui9dleman, and That the
Others are being watched. This would ac-
count for the extraordinary mystery attend
ing the arrest. No information can be ex-
tracted - to whether the bonds are counter
felt or stolen. or whether the Government or
private individuals or corporation is the
loser. From the fact that Government ofH-
cials made the arrest, and that several dis
patches from Washih gton have been received
here giving instructions and cautioning the
detectives, it Is regarded as probable thar the
Government Is involved in some way.
WASHINGTON, October 22d.-The man
raysteriously arrested at Chicago is James B.
Doyle of Bradford. III. He married a daugh-
ter Of The noted couuterfeiter, Brad. Foster,
ard has spent much time in Colorado. He Is
farmer and lunberman, and Is reputed very
ws;ithy. The Secret Service learns that he
has been engaged il crooked operations slice
the wSF. A Government defSlcation was
given - the csuse of his arrest. but this is
mistake. According TO advices received.
Doyle had on his person number of 81, 0G0
United States coupon b1nds-sixes Of the loan
OF July IL and AUGUST 5, 1861. The prisoner
maintains that there Is some mistake about
bis arrest. The aggregate amount Of money
on his person IS estimated st S2l0 000
After considerable delay, Chief Brooks has
recsived from his Chicago agent the numbers
of eighteen bonds. Upon comparing them
with the records Of the loan division Of the
department, il Is found that eleven of the
genuine bonds, bearing numbers similar to

that the numbers now on these bonds were
not those originally issued to the parties
whose name IS IN the body Of the bond. They
are bonds that have been stolen and their
numbers changed so IS 20 enable their being
sod ia open market. The bonds Will be
brought to Washington and will be examined
TO ascertain their original numbers, This will
probably enable the return of the bonds to

Doyle left New York on Tuesday last. Sc
cres Service agents at New York teleeraphed
Chief Brooks Of Dovle's departure be was
supposed TO have in his possession a large
amount of counterfeit money. This informa-
ton was the real cause Of his arrest in Chi
cago, although he was given TO understand
that he was taken Into custody SIS Govern
ment defaulter.
CHICAGO, October 2Sd.-The Inter Oceans
Washington special says Perhaps the bonds
recovered from Jas. d. DOYLE at Chicago
were part Of those stolen from the Manhattan
Bank. The object Of his arrest was to secure
p large amount Of counterfeit money which |
he was SAID to have taken from New York |
Agent Brooks hoped to find clue through |
him to the 500 counterfeit plate tlst has |
eluded detection so long. Although there is |
much mystery about the matter, it is be- |
lieved that the bonds are genuine but per- |
haps the numbers have been altered, as it |
would hardly pay to make the plate of a /
bond so soon to be called in as those in Doyle's |
possession. 1t is believed that the twenty |
seven 500 bills in his possession are counter
felt, bus careful comparison alone will re-
veal that fact. Doyle is known all over the
country as the associate of the worst
crooks, as well as related to one Of them.
