BOND WAS
STOLEN
YEARS AGO

New York, Feb. s.-Dr. Lewis O. Wil-
coxson. who is under arrest here. together
with Joseph a. Taylor Of White Plains,
n. Y. and James A. Smith OF this city
In connection with the recovery OF
$40. 900 United States government bond

and child at one Of the leading uptown
hotels here the greater part Of the time
for nearly three years. He claims to
own extensive mining intrests in Alaska
and to have an income OF $4,000 month.
Nevertheless. be spent the night in prison
in default of slO. 900 bond required by the
federal authorities.
The recovery OF the bond was made
through the sub-treasury In Wall street,
where IL had been delivered by a bank
messenger
Thirty OF the SANE series were taken
i'm the Manhattan robbery and this is
only the third one found. Two others
were recovered in 1850 by Inspector
Byrnes.
In addition 10 the three prisoners men
toned. all OF whom claim 10 be capital
lists and promoters. tho complaint on
which they were arrested served also as
the basis for a warrant for the arrest OF
one Samuel Warren Miller,
Secret service detectives who are buey
unravelling the case say they are IN doubt
whether Miller is a real or a mythical
parsonage The only evidence that such
a man exists rests upon the fact that his
name, written I'm full, appears upon the
bond In the place where the name OF the
Manhattan Savings institution should APP
pear, and the additional fact that DR..
Wilconson describes Miller as the man
from whose hands the bond came into his
possession as the result ot a business
transaction.
When Deputy Assistant United States
Treasurer c. w. Marlor received the bond
from a bank messenger In the course OF
business he instantly recognized II be-
cause OF the number and called Capt.
Flynn OF the secret service
They examined the paper and found
no Disagreement except in the perfect
substitution OF one name for the other.
The name Samuel Warren Miller appeared
TO have been written many years ago.
The ink had faded nearly as much as
that In what appeared 10 be the name
OF United States Registrar Allison. writ
ten below.
Captain Flynn went directly to the
Aetna bank and there found waiting
James A. Smith, who had presented the
bond and who had been asked to wait
while II was referred TO the treasury
officials. Smith said Joseph A. Taylor,
friend had brought him into contact
with Or. Wilcoxson and that the latter
had authorized him TO negotiate a loan
for $1,000 with the bond as collateral.
Smith and Taylor were 10 receive a COM
mission.
on the back OF the security II appeared
that Miller had on Monday transferred
the bond to wicoxson in the presence Of
President Meyer of the Shoe and Leather
National bank, az required by law
