MYSTERIOUS ARREST.
CHICAGO, Oct 21.-A mysterious arrest was
of a gentleman of blonde complexion, aged
about 4e, and appearance prepossessing, but
whose name cannot be learned. 1t is rumored
he is wanted for a large defalcation but the
particulars are entirely wanting.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-Great mystery attends
the arrest of the unknown man yesterday. He
wGs guarded all night by trio of officers. 1t
| is stated that his valise contained $204 600 or
more in government bonds, and that he had
oral fhnp in,
He submitted gracefully to the arrest, and
expressed no surprise when taken in custody.
Govern ment officials have telegraphed enjOin-
ing the utmost secrecy in the matter Conse-
queutly no facts can begained from the United
States officials here, not even the name of the
unknown. 1t is conjectured that he is not the
principal in tie matter, but is an accomplice
or middle man, and that the others are being
| watched This wouli account for the extrsor-
dinary mystery attending the arrest. No in
formation can be had as to whether bonds are
counterfeit or stolen, or whether the govern
ment or private individual or corporation is
the loser. From the fact that government Of
fcials make the arrest and that several dis
patches from Washington have been received
here, giving instructions and containing the
directions, it is regarded probable that the
government is involved in some way.
THK MYSTERY EXPLAINED.
WASHINGTON, Oct. pa telegram from
Chicago has been received at the treasury de-
partment concerning the mysterious arrest
made there yesterday. under orders from Chief
Brooks Of the secret service bureau. 1t is
definitely known that the man arrested is
James B. Doyle. He was born and raised in
Bradford, Illinois, was married to the daugh-
ter of the noted counterfeiter, Brad. Foster,
and has spent much of his time in Colorado.
He is farmer and lumberman and is report

vice had information to the effect that Doyle
has been engaged in crooked transactions ever
since the war. The arrest was caused on a
charge of government mine defalcation, but
the facts which have come to hand since the
arrest show that such is not the case. Acoord-
ing to advices received, Doyle had on his per-
son number of $1,000 United States
coupon bonds, Gs, of the loan of July
18th, and August 9Th, 1861, the bonds showing
the number of coupons were issued to the fol-
lowing named persons: T. w. Ogden, cashier,
3S; 81. Pachey, cashier, 48; r. Freeman, secre-
tary, II; David Hoadley, president, n; John
Brownsor, 12; W. A. Falls. cashier 81;
John P. Barker, 6. There were also found
twenty-seven genuine $1,000 United States
treasury notes and two $l00 currency notes.
These bonds have generally been pronounced
genuine bv experts. The prisoner maintains
that there is certainly some mistake about the
arrest. w ucu dSh01 nOW uduy uC uHu
he replied he did not know The aggregate
amount of the bonds and money found on
Boyle is estimated at $4,000.
After considerable delay Chief Brooks has
obtained from his Chicago agent the numbers
of eighteen of the bonds. Upon comparing
these with the records of loan division of the
department, it is found that eleven of the
genuine bonds bearing numbers similar to
those found in The list have been redeemed, and
of the remainder of the list, it is shown 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
as to enable their being sold in open market.
The bonds will be brought to Washington, and
will be examined to ascertain their orig ginal
numbers. This will probably enable the return
of the bonds to the owners, should they prove
to be genuine. Doyle left New York Tuesday
last. Secret service gents at New York tele-
graphed Chief Brooks of Doyle's departure.
He was supposed to have in his possession a
large amount of counterfeit money. This in
formation was the real cause of his arrest in
Chicago, although he was given to understand
| he was taken in custody government de-
| faulter.
