with nlioitt 13,000 from the vault oi the
Dexter Savings bunk, leaving O. C. (ireg

inside the vault. Mr. Gregory had just
swept the olllco and was carrying out the
dust when he was confronted by a couple
of masked men, who poked revolvers in
his face aud threatened to blow out his
brains if ho uttered a cry. He was at once
compelled to open the vault at the points
of cocked revolvers. Their next act was
to knock Gregory senseless, and then,
closing the vault door upon the prostrate
clerk, the thieves made their escape with

New Youk. March 0. John Y. MelCnne,
the ex-klng of Coney Island, nnd who held
the balance of power in Kings ootinty by
his complete control over B.WIO votrs. is
today the associate of all classes of crimi
nals who are confined within the oold.gray
walls of the Slug Sing prison.
Everything thnt money or legal tnlent
could do was done to keep him, even for
H time, from entering the gatiwoftlmt
awe inspiring building on thebatiksof the
Hudson liver, but the Inevitable came nt
Inst, and McKnne, tired of the iinxle'y
(mused by the law's delay, almost cheer
fully accepted it.
His lawyers worked hard to avert Jes-
terdoy's trip, but their effort were un
availing. There was u lingering: hope that
Lawyer Charles W. llror.ke, of this city,
who was retained yesterday, would be
able to persuade Judge Barrett, of the su
preme court, that he (the judge) had a
reasonable doubt that Mc Kane's sentence
of six years would be upheld by the court
of appeals.
Mr. Brooke went Into the private room
of Judge Barrett, in the county court
house, and remained Iheiu for fully three
quarters of an hour, using all his power
of eloquence and judicial lore to try nnd
make the learned judge conjure up a reas
onable doubt, but Mr. Brooke's efforts
were fruitless. When Judge iiarreii,
opened court he denied the motion of New-
York's ablest criminal lawyer.
Mr. Brooks was crestfallen when the
judge refused to interfere, aud left the
court room very disconsolate. He had
more reasous than one for feeling down
hearted, as it wos understood thnt he wns
to receive $25,000 iu ensh If he was success

Then Moore ran back to attend his wife
