sier t y the back door, which was found un
fasteoed; Ail the other windows Were still
seeurielyl bolted, and several rooms had net
even been entered. It 'Was evident that 'the
thieves had set to work in great security; had
_taker their time, and had not been apprehen
sive f tieing disturbed.
.They had removed
the top of a heavy old escritoire, ' which had
beenarefidlyilocked, and had lifted' out the

end oi the garden :d behind the house; from
syhichisids theAlsieves must have come, ran
the jailer town ditch Which was navigable,
and only divided froni it, y a quiekset hedge.
The next house was a corner one, and a nar

had elsobed over the hedges if the two gar

; The authbrities gladly avail:A theMselves
of this opportunity to delay the. torture. It
sgemed, at first sight, no mere invention of
te prisoner's friends. A - company corn men d -.
c,
e . by Captain le Long was, really 4n gar.
ri n : a corporal of that name had served in
it; but had disappeared or . deserted , four
weeks back, Till then, all inquires after him
hid been useless. The police also found that
the corporal had disappeared on the very
night before the robbery was 'made known.—
A connection ,between the two facts appeared
evident. A =new divert', however, des
; troyed this conclusion.' The letter froin Rot
terdam was laid before the commanding, kiffi
ctir, and he declared it at first sight a forgery.
The band writing was not Bhuler's ; all 'phis
c4misides asserted it, and' several old Cornpa
ny's listsochich Ruhler was kuown - to hfive
written, proved it, to the satisfaction'of 'the
jUdge. Consequently, the.letter , was; nothing
niore than a trick ofsome friend or *deem
pike of the' Blue Dragoon to liberate him
from the torture.. This 'was the preval l ent
oinion, When two new and very importimt
wSmesses made their appearane6.-.. They. had
no connection together, nor were their,
o it4te-
Ines the least alike ; the faces they brought

A tradesman of the town, who was A en
eral dealer ,
and lived in the neighborh of
j
i
t e widow Andrecht, had been absent in the
s lath of • Germany wring the whole Of the
trnii. He had but just returned and bhen
told of the affair ' when he voluntarily aiPear
ed before tbepolice, and made the following
vry 'im m
portaut stateeut :—Abent the dine
i ur en the robbery must have taken place he
w s still in the town. - The carpenter, ;Isaac
e t
van C----•:; called upon hinfand begged him
td .lend him his boat, in which_be- usually
I -
transported his .bales and heavier- goods.—
This beat 'was generally fastened behind 'the
hOuse, ;near his warehouse', rich .,waselose
toj the town ditch. He had a large quantity
of casks to deliver at that time; and could
riot ipare it. Isaac, however, begged. him
very' earnestly, and stated he only 'wanted
t e boat for a couple of nights, and would re
t rn it to its place in the morning. 00' hie
inquiring why he wanted it particularly at
ni4ht,'he replied, after a pause, thathe Wished
WI move . fhe furniture of seine people, who,
were leaving their.house.."By;tfightr the
Owner of the boat asked.' " WhO -leaves his
house by night 1," ' The airpenter replied,
liith a cunning smile, , that the people' were
bankrupts and ' were going. to,-" shoot the
noon!" nI" . The owner was- indigent, and re-;
fuked the use 'of hi.A boat., The carpenter,
luisiever, quickly said that he had' been in
je4t, and his intention wai to go fishing with
hi 4 apprentice during the night, He had not
told him his real object,: for fear he might
suit like his boat dirtied. H 6 at length yield
ed to the mrpenter's pressing entreaties,
and lent him the boat on condition that; he
r e turned it again the' next morning. The
I penter-kept his word' faithfully. When:
hi went to his warehouse the, - next Itilf;tili.ng
at/ an early hour, he saw the carpenter; and
MI; apprentice just. fastening the beat,. It
snuck him directly that they had no nem or
flailing implements.' • He examined the - beet,
and was still More stirprised at finding it dry
and clean inside. He i, d therefore, detiteted
th carpenter in a false.aood. In the boat he
piked up a parcel, consisting of two silver
foilta wrapped in pa r." The carpenter's
fi' t statement- ' was Erect, therm '; ;he had
.11 ped the bankrupt to retnove his ; furniture
el idestinely. In
I
iderable anger at; it,
bei ' put. the forks in - is pocket -'and went
