The Middleton Robbery,
WASHINGTON, June 18.-The Star, referring
to the failure of Middleton Il Co., bankers, of
this city, says: One Of the latest developments
of the way in which their customers were
plundered is shown in the case of Hon. James

to the court. Nor did they spare their own

there Is still another aggravated case; they had
power of attorney from gentleman absent
from the city to attend to his business here and
had key to his safe. On hearing Of their
failure he hurried to the city to look after his
own securities, and he found that everv one had
BEEN sold. His safe Was not in Middlston's
bank.
