BOSTON, MASS, January 3.-The most
daring and the most distressing theft of the
winter was committed in the middle of the
day at one Of the most freQuented spots of
the city. Crowds srs at all times passing
the Traveller building on State street, where
Alexander & Co. have an Office as specie
brokers. Alexander and his clerk were
startled by the crash of glass, and on turning
saw a hand reaching for some Swedish
money on exhibition in the windows.
Rushing out of the door, Alexander chased
the thief and quickly caught him. The
thief struggled hard and Alexander had to
knock him down. At the station the thief
gave his name as Patrick j. Geary, and his
residence as Genesee street He told Lieut.
Wier that his wife was dead and that he had
two little children. In order to save them
from starving he said he committed the rob
berry. VIII Ia the prisoner was in the station
several Officers, VINO had known him for
years, happened to come in, and they said
that Geary had been an honest man. and
they believed his story.
