A SUSPECTED BANk-ROBBER OF TWELVE
YEARS AGO TO BE TRIED.
The robbing OF the Kensington Bank in
Philadelphia, for which offence Henry Mo-
MES was recently transferred from the
Eastern penitentiary TO the county prison
10 await trial on suspicion Of being one OF
the burglars, was one of the most daring
robberies ever committed in Philadelphia.
The crime was committed on the night OF
February 2, 1871, during the administra-
ton of Daniel NJ. Fox as mayor. Monies
was suspected of being concerned in the
robbery at the time il was committed, but
he escaped from the city. and was not seen
by the local officials until his arrest atNorris-
town many months afterward for being
concerned in local burglary. For this
offence he was convicted and sentenced to
eight years. Imprisonment in the Eastern
pcnitentiary. His term having expired, he
has now to undergo trial for the bank
robbery; but, twelve years having now
elapsed, his conviction is doubtful. Monies
was policeman on the force at the time,
and though he had bad associates, he was
regarded as a stupid fellow, not having
sufficient intelligence to plan so skilful Il
robbery. On the day in question,
after the Dank Hau Deen clostu, TWO
men. one dressed as policeman, called
at the bank and stated that they had
been sent by Lieutenant Clark, OF the
Tenth district, to inform the authorities Of
the institution of suspicious characters
who had been seen prowling about. The
men were given Abundance. and after the
cashier had gone out one Of them remarked
to Waterman John Holmes that they would
call that night to see how he was doing.
At 6 O'Clock Holmes was joined by another
Waterman, named Murphy. The pretend
ed policeman, with two other men, raade
their appearance at the bank between I
and s O'Clock. Murphy was induced to
go out with one Of the men to look
after suspicious men, and after they
had gone Waterman Holmes was
asked by one OF the remaining men to get
him a drink OF water. While in the act OF
getting it he was seized, bound and gag
ged. and laid upon the floor. Murphy and
the other man arrived, ana as soon as he
entered he was treated like Holmes. \
man was left to guard them, and the others
set to work operating upon the door OF the
vault. and property valued at $4,000 was
secured. An attempt to break into the safe
which contained the funds OF the bank
was unsuccessful. The robbers left about
