Tho arrest wns made on a warrant obtained
three weeks ago. When Lyman Cobb Jr.. the
cashier of tho bank. looked over Pinkcrtons'
album Of crooks and bank burglars, after the
work of detecting the robbers had been turned
over to them he picked out the photographs of
thrce men. who, according to Pinkerton Detec-
two Dougherty, he said were the mon who
robbed the bank. One of tho photographs was
that Of Wallle o'Connor, who was arrested in
this city on Wednesday and taken to Yonkers,
where he was identified by Mr.. Cobb. Another
photograph was that OF Flanagan, and the third
was that OF a man whose name has not yet boon
revealed because he has not yet been taken into

work leading to Flannigans arrest. A short
time after the robbery the man went West.
They traced him to Chicago and to several
Western cities, and finally to Elyria, o., near
where he lives They say 1t was he who crept
into the bank while O'Connor was engaging Mr..
Cobb In conversation and took tho money
from the cashiers drawer. When Mr..
Cobb discovered him under the desk, the
Pinkertons say. Flanagan, covering his own
face with the bank notes he had stolen. drew q
pistol on tho cashier, as did O'Connor, and kept
the old man covered until they were safo out Of
tho bank. Flanagan arrived in Now York in
