The Crime for Which u Chester County Far
mer n ust Answer.
Lewis Robinson. son of James Robinson,
Of Honeybrook, Chester county. was ar
rested yesterday charged with stealili.. the
property of his neighbors. He is a mar
ried man, one of the wealthiest farmer, in
the vicinity, of good family and the
highest reputation heretofore in the COM
munity where he lives. The causes
that led to his arrest are briefly these.
For several months past robberics have been
frequent, and all efforts to obtain Il clue
proved futile. At last the victims organ
lied themselves into a detective assucia-
ton, which was called the Harmony detec-
tive association because they met i'm q
school house bearing that name. Their
investigations have been in progress for
several weeks, and few days ago the
members met and each stated what infor-.
nation he had secured. One man said he
had missed whipple tree which he found
Robinson using in a floor. Another said
he had lost 4 saddle and identified it
in RObinson's stable. A score of mem
bers reported that their poultry was
stolen and Robinson, who had none
at all and was never known to buy
any, was making frequent consign-
ments to Philadelphia. Still another
said his daughters wedding trousseau had
been stolen and the dress was identified
upon Mrs. RObinsOn's person. InfOrma-
ton was made. Squire Morton issued q
warrant of arrest, and Constable Griffith
served it, accompanied by the detective
association. Upon confronting Robinson
with the charges OF his guilt, he confessed,
the house was searched and several wagon
loads Of stolen property were discovered
hidden away in hooks and corners, closets,
cupboards, drawers, in the garret and be-
tween the bedding. Robinson was ar
raigned before Squire Morton and admit
ted to ST, 900 bail, his father, James Rob

The society has information on these
books from Mr.. Ii. Masataka Tamanaka of
Franklin & Marshall college. His theory
is that these books were stolen from some
Japanese student who had been studying
in France said theft probably being per-
petrated after he had taken passage from
Philadelphia or New York for San Fran
cisco, on his return through our country to
Japan. In one of the volumes there was
found a French exercise signed X. Yokato,
April 3. 1872, and he was probably the
student from whom they were stolen.
The books are thankfully received by
the " Linnean society,"" and will be de-
posted in it's historical department..
Should they ever be claimed by the owner,
on proper Identification they will be cheer
fully restored.

man near the Pennsylvania railroad, this
city, who was seen to conceal two large
yalises filled with books, in rear of Wen
ditz's saloon opposite the Pennsylvania
railroad depot. As he could not account
for his possession of the property he was

found. No owner ever claimed the prop
erty, which is supposed to have been stolen
from French student named Chimeisor.

court to declare his brother illcgihmate,
and to recover the property which had
been willed to him. From the records of
that remarkable trial this narrative is
compiled, and the facts necessary to ex-
plain what has already been told will be
given.
When John Hawk received from Henry
the sum left him by his father, he went to
Antwerp rs agent for the firm. With all
the money he could get on the letters of
credit Of the firm, he went to Paris and
London. There he spent all in riot and
debuchCry. Worn down and ruined, he
returned to Dundee; and though he went
to the gate of his brothers residence, he
had not the courage to enter. Before he
knew that his brother had gone to Ant
werp, he forged his name and got tine mo-
ney from Dcwar. When he found that
Henry was out OF the country, he set his
wits to work to discover how he could
profit by it. The resemblance between
the twin brothers had always been re-.
markablc. In fact, when they were boys,
Henry always wore a red ribbon in his
button-hole to distinguish him from John
Little by little diabolcal plot developed
itself in Johns mind. AnticipGtiu that
Henry would write to his wife by tAe re-
turn packet, John planned the intercept
ing Of the letter. While the boy who
bore the package of letters to Mrs. Hawk
was away for the supposed pocket book,
John opened one Of the letters, and, by
its perusal, found that his brother was to
return by the next packet in October,
lie induced the boy to allow him to de-
liver the letters so that he might explain
that Mr.. Newall hal opened the letter
by mistake. For a time he was in Great
suspense, as the carrying out Of J. ans
required that the packet should rive
after dark.
As soon as he found that the tide ould
exactly suit his purpose, he made ar.
rlngcments. Disgusting himself pro.
curing a boat, he boarded the pac on
her arrival in the Tay, and in macd
Henry Hawk to 20 ashore. Midway be.
tween the vessel and tGe land, he drove
knife into his brothers heart. Then he
carefully stripped the body and flung it
overheard. Securing the money and val
uabcs in the clothes, he tore them in
strips and cast them on the water. Land
ing at n secret spot, with his brothers
portmantcau in his possession, he went to
sailors boarding-house, and dressed HIM
sci in the dead mans clothes. Then with
u boIdrcss and wickcdness unparalleled,
he went to bis dead brothers home and
received a kiss of welcome from the wo.
man whose husband he had slain.
On trial witnesses were produced who
a 1 l.t1 -
wretch and heard his confession Of his
crime. These consisted of DR., Nimmo,
prominent physician, Mr.. Sims, dstin-
guishcd surgeon, DR.. Cauuthcrs, Pres,
bytcrian clergyman, and Ann Maclay,
nurse. The confession had been reduced
to writing by a lawyer, and duly signed
and witnessed.
The Court adiudgcd James Hawk to be
illeritimuta, but entitled to succeed to his
mothers estate, which was considerable.
