that Dunlap controlled the securities
| THIS was the case, they said, till Dun
| lap and Scott were convicted. The
4, curities we're then turned over to
Rcd Leary with the understanding
that II any member of the gang who
might be caught should call for the re-
,uTn of the securities they should be
returned. Dunlap and Scott said
they believed that Lesry would fulfill
his part Of the bargain, and that they
had appraised him OF their
wishes In the matter, namely,
that the securities be returned, so
that Scott might be allowed to die
! outside the prison walls, and Dunlap's
term possibly be shortened. Leary,
they said, had replied to them from
Europe, writing an encouraging letter,
In which he said: "Hold the fort, tor
1 am coming" He had since returned
to this country and sent them several
messages, and up to within a few days
they had supposed that everything
was going on as they wished. Leary
had then apparently changed his
mind, Influenced, as they thought, by
bad advisers. They also thought that
the messages that passed themselves
and Leary had been changed by the
p,.between to suit his W plans.
They suggested that the only way by
which they could get untampered
communication with Leary and COM
pei him to give up the securities was
to have him arrested.
Up to this time Leary, who had dug
his way ont Of Ludlow street jail,
pending the fight over his extradition
to Massachusetts,, was supposed to be
In London. Indictments had been
obtained against Leary, Draper and
Corners when the excitement over the
robbery was at Its height. The evil.
dence was afterward held to be In.
sufficient. Dunlap said that he and
Scott would 90 on the stand against
Leary or put the officers In the way OF
procuring evidence upon which he
could be convicted, IL he did not re-
turn the securities. If he did return
them, Dunlap said, nothing could In
duce him to ~inJure Leary or any Of
the others.
The bank proceeded at once to re.
capture Leary, and to that end De-
~tective Pinkerton paid Dunlap a visit,
and received from him the name Of
the go-between. The go.between wa
traced to a little isolated tavern oppo'
site Greenwood cemetery, kept by an
old Englishman named Shay. About
l o'clock one morning, Leary wa,
arrested as he was driving alone in o
sleigh toward Shay's tavern. Connorf
was taken in Philadelphia, and, with
Leary ard Draper, was taken to the
Jail in Northampton.
As soon az Leary was lodged there
Dunlap and Scott we're allowed to
have an interview with each other. II
was the first sinoe their confinement.
They were left together for three hours
IN THE PRESENCE OF A KEEPER,
and as the result of their consultation
they wrote q letter to Lesry. They
called his attention to his last com
munication to them, in which he had
told them that they were entitled tc
~two.sevenths Of the spoil (there were
seven In the gsng), and that thai
proportion was all they could control
that they had nothing co say about the
other five .sevenths; that t~wo.seventh'
was at their disposal, snd would bt
given up ON their order. They sug-
gested that he might now see thing
In another light. They added tina
they wished him no harm, but that |
lie did not deliver up what was in hi
charge, according to the agreement
they would find means to appear q
Northampton and ''down him." Blu
he knew them we'll enough to TAX
their word for 1t, that If he ''gave up
notf6r any 81 tns othefeem to iniur'
L,ary apparently paid no attention
to this letter for a long time, 1t wa,
presumed that he wanted time Il
communicate with his associates il
and out Of prison. 1t is generally
presumed that he obtained the consen'
of all the thieves interested In the
surrender. About three weeks aftel
he got the letter from Scott and Dun
lap word came TO the bank officers
that an attorney In this city could toll
them where the securities were to bt
found. Through that attorney the SO
c~urlties were recovered from q SAT
deposit company in this city. They
were In good condition, though damp
1t is presumed that they had beer
buried, protected by oiled silk anG
rubber wrspplDgs. It is also believed
that Lsary alone knew the hiding
place, and that he revealed 1t by means
of a diagram conveyed out Of the
prison.
When Leary and the others were
put on trial Scott and Dunlap did moi
appear against them. The evidence
upon which the Indictment were OBJ
tanned we're submitted to the court by
the attorney general, and the court
decided that 1t was insufficient to 60 to
trial on. The three men were re-
leased. Scott died In prison soon at.
forward, and Dunlap is serving out
his twenty years sentence at Concord
