Taken in the Famous Man.
haitian Bank Robbery 27
Years Ago, It Reappears

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-Dr. Lewis o.
Wilcoxson is under arrest here, to-
gether with Joseph A Taylor. Of
White Plains, N. z, and James A.
Smith, of this city, in connection with
the recovery Of $4,000 United States
Government bond stolen from the Man
haitian Savings Institution in 1873. The
three prisoners claim to be capitalists
and promoters.
The complaint on which they were
arrested served also as the basis for
warrant for the arrest of one Samuel
Warren Miller. Secret Service detec-
tives. who are busy unraveling the case,
say they are in doubt whether
Miller is a real or a mythical person.
age. The only evidence that such a
man exists rests upon the fact that his
name. written out in full. appears upon
the bond in the place where the name
of the Manhattan Savings Institution
should appear, and the additional fact
that DR.. Wilcoxson describes Miller as
the man from whose hands the bond
came into his possession as the result
of a business transaction.
When Deputy Assistant United States
Treasurer G. w. Major received the
bond from bank messenger in the
course of business, he instantly recog-
called Captain Flynn of the Secret Ser
vice. 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.
Captain Flynn went to the Aetna
Bank and there found James A Smith,
who had presented the bond and who
had been asked to wait while it was
referred to the treasury officials.
Smith said Joseph A. Taylor, a friend,
brought him into contact with DR.. Will
coxson and that the latter had
authorized him to negotiate a loan
for $4,000 with the bond as collateral.
Smith and Taylor were to receive a
commission.
On the back of the security it ap-
peared that Miller had on Monday
morning transferred the bond to VIII
coxson in the presence of President
Meyer of the Shoe and Leather Ma
tional Bank as required by law.
The recovery of the bond recalls the
robbery, twenty-seven years ago, Of
the Manhattan Bank, one Of the richest
hauls ever made in America The
burglars secured nearly $4,000, 600 in
cash and negotiable securities.

BENEFTCIARIEs GRATEFUL.

When told by a representative of
The Call regarding Mrs. Sharp's be-
quest to the Salvation Army, Colonel
George French. the head of the or
ganization in San Francisco, was sur
prised. He expressed deep sorrow at
the death of Mrs. Sharp though he
had no recollection of ever having seen
the charitable woman. The colonel
said that such news as a gift Of $4,000
to the Salvation Army for the purpose
of relieving the poor of the city came
as an offset. to some bitter disappoint-
ments he had met with throughout the
day.
Mrs. Richard Brown, the financial
secretary of the Kings Daughters
Home, 317 Francisco street, also ex-
pressed sincere regret at the news of
the death of Mrs. Sharp. Mrs Brown
had only met Mrs. Sharp once and
then it was as far back as five years
ago. The beQuest to the institution Of
$4,000 was a great surprise to Mrs.
Brown. The Kings Daughters Home
Is devoted to caring for incurable
patients who are rejected at the hos
pitals. There are sixty-five sufferers
in the home at the present time.
