THE MYSTERY SOLVED.
An Arrest for the Robbery Of Gal 900
From q Treasury Package.

The mystery Of the disappearance Of the
money that should have been in a package re-
ceived at the Treasury in May, 1883, from the
American Exchange National Bank has at last
been cleared up.
The package, supposed to contain al 900,
when opened at the Treasury was found to con-
tain only blank slips of paper. Whether the
robbery was committed at the bank or while
the package was in transit in the hands Of the
express company was for time puzzling
question.
New York Herald dispatch from Zeguciga-
lapa, Honduras, announces the arrest there of
Edmund Sturgis Crawford, formerly a clerk IN
the bank, and the recovery from him Of a large
portion of the stolen money. Crawford, the
dispatch states. has made confession implicat-
ing two others. He, with another clerk, was
entrusted with the delivery Of the package to
the express company.
A year after the robbery Crawford resigned
from the bank on the plea OF ill-health and went
to Honduras. where he engaged in the manage
ment of a farm. But his movements were
watched, important evidence was secured and a
few months ago one OF the Pinkertons went to
Honduras, with the result that Crawford has
been arrested.
