New YORK, July Tn 1873, John and
Elizabeth King, pickle dealers on Vesey
street,wer robbed of.over $39, 1000 in United
States bond,in goldland greenbacks. which
they kept in their store. All efforts to re-
cover the property failed until lately. The
two old people died and their son and
daughter pursued the search and few days
ago were notified by the United States treas
ury ateWashington that one of the four pc,
cent. stolen bonds of $1,000 had been re-.
ceived there. There came in other
notices from the treasury that all
the bonds had been passed through the
hands of New York bankers. The matter
has been placed in the hands of lawyer,
who will carry it into court to recover the
bonds. From evidence so far it appears
that as soon as they divided the money the
bonds were disposed of in bulk at one
place IN this city, which forwarded them
Immediately to a house in London. The
man who sold the bonds and acted as the
real thief is now under constant suryeill-
ance. while his confederates are spotted, so
as to be taken at moments notice.
