Evidence Showing That He is Guilty Of
the Robbery.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July A-The
arrest in New orleans Of James VI. Dow
ling. cashier Of the United States Mint
there. is the result Of the investigation
conducted by the Treasury following the
recent fire In the vault OF the mint dis
covered June 26th.
When the Treasury Department was
informed that the fire In the mint had
destroyed nearly all Of the packages CON
tanning $4,000 In greenbacks. suspl-
cion was at once aroused because the
fire occurred within a few days OF the
time for the settling mp OF the annual
accounts and at the time when the new
administration was likely 10 make
changes in the Office OF superintendent
Accordingly a 'cret service agent and
expert counter from the office were sent
TO New Orleans TO investigate.
They arrived July 4th. and soon found
evidence TO show that the fire had been
kindled TO cover robbery. Reports re-
ceived at the Treasury Department show
that of the bills OF all denominations
contained In the package. only spoon
ful Of ashes remained. The amount Is ut
terly Inconsistent with the amount OF
money presumably burned.
Out Of the remains Of the package the
expert counter succeeded In identifying
only sl.lS2. Then In the vault was found
much innammable material that should
not have been there, different from any
used In the mint.
Everything pointed TO Cashier Dow

person who had access To the vault. and

Having seen a notice from DIR.
Harmon, the Russian doctor, that
his office will be closed some time in
February and will be opened again
in the spring. beg you to allow me
space to say few words with regard
to the doctors treatment of me, and
the prospects of his return, etc.
In april, 1889, had an operation
performed on my eyes by a Northen
specialist, which did a great deal of
good. In June 1902, however, l had
to go North again for the same pur-
pose, but was informed that nothing
could be done to benefit me. On MY
return to Wilmington DIR. Harmon
took charge of my case and I feel
that though his skillful treatment
my eyes are saved.
The doctor has invented an instru-
ment for testing the eyes, etc, for
which he is offered a considerable
amount of money. Should he
conclude to accept this, am doubt
full of his return to Wilmington, and
hence, / would advise any one who
may need the service of SIX illful eye
doctor to call on him before he closes
his Office.
During the last four years | have
been constantly under treatment,
and have tried several specialists, and
it is due to DIR. Harmon to say that
he has done me more good than
expected. The amount OF money
paid him for his service is no COM
parison to the benefits received.
