BOOTY SAFE.
Russian Police Suspect Plot IN the
Customs Service.

ST Petersburg, Oct. 2S.-The plunder from the
amazing robbery committed in this city yester-
day. when highwaymen got away with S1930OO
from wagon conveying the cash from the
customs department to the State Treasury, has
been slowed away, apparently, beyond the dan
ger of recapture. The purpose of the intrepid
bomb throwers to pour coin into the impover-
ished Golfers of the revolutionists has thus been
achieved.
To-day the police arrested twenty-one persons.
Among these are others who aided in the rob-
berry, including the driver of the cab in which
rode woman who carried to safety the leather
bags containing the booty. A who
with this woman in the cab has been captured
and identified. The woman herself was thought
to have been captured in the person of a gypsy
who looked like her. This capture gave rise to
a story that the money had been recovered, but
this is denied. Three customs officers who were
in charge of the vehicle conveying the cash at
the time of the robbery, have been arrested.
The Investigations are beginning to point toward
conspiracy in the custom service.
