IDENTITY OF THE ARRESTED MAN.
A telegram from Chicago has just been re-
ceived at the Treasury department concerning
the mysterious arrest made there yesterday,
under orders from Chief Brooks, OF the secrn
service bureau. It is definitely known that tho
man arrested is JAS. B. Doyle. He was born
ard alsed In Bradford. Illinois, married to a
daughter OF the noled counterfetter Brad Eos
ter, and has spent much OF his time in Colorado
He Is farmer anu lumber man. and Is reputed
to be very wealthy. The secret service have in
formation to the effect that Doyle has been en-
gagged In 'crooked' transactions ever since the
war. The arrest was caused On the charge or
government detaication, but facts which nave
come TO hand since the arrest show that such
Is not the case: According to advices received
Doyle has on his person q 81 900 U. S. coupon
bonds SKIES OF the loan OF July II and August ).
1s6l. The bonds were issued as follows:-To y.
w. Ogden, cashier, 49, II. Pdchey, cashier. Is
ii. 7. Freeman. secretary, X; David H0adley.
president, 21 Jno Brownson. blank IL,
W. A. Falls, cashier, 81; Adams express compa
ny, 13; N P. Palmer, blank, 10; and John p
Barker, 6. There were also found twenty y-seven
genuine one hundred dollar US Treasury note
and two one hundred dollar national bank notes
genuine by experts. The prisoner is said to b,
very reticent. He maintains that there is Ger
tainly some mistake about his arrest. When
asked how many bonds he had he replied tha
he Gfd not know. The aggregate amount
bonds and money found on Doyle is estimated
at 2l0,0oo. Many OF the bonds he holds have
long since been redeemed.
After considerable delay Chief Brooks has ob.
ta1ned from his Chicago agent the numbers of
eighteen Of the bonds. Upon comparing these
with the records of the loan division of the de
genuine bonds bearing numbers similar
to those found in the list nave been redeemed
and of the balance of the list 1t is shown that
the numbers now on these bonds were not
name Is In the body OF the bond. This clearly
demonstrates that the bonds found in the pos
fesSi session ,, Of Doyle have all been changed
they are bonds that have been stolen, and their
numt ers changed, so as to enable their being
seld in the open market. Doyle is still In Gus
tody. The bonds will be brought to Washing
ton, and Will be examined to ascertain
their original NUMBERS. This will prob
ably enable the return OF the bonds to
the owners should they prove genuine
Doyle left New York On last Tues
day: The secret service agents at New
York telegraphed Chief Brooks Doyle's depart
uIe. he was supposedt to have in his possession
large amount OF counterfeit money This IN
formation was the real cause OF his arrest
Chicago, although he was given to understand
that he was taken In custody as a government
Gefauiter.
