Thoio was a rustle of silks through the
cast corridor of tho City Hall, about
11:30 o'clock, a whiff of Fraugip.iinl and
Mrs. Potter had perhaps not scooted
up the corridor, but, in any ono else, tho
effort would bavo amounted to nothinir
less than a good old-fashioned scoot. But
there was an undulatory graco about her
progress that deprived It of much of its
scootncbs.
She chatted affably with Mr. Bennett,
who accompanied her, and did not look
in tho least llko a person who had lost
diamonds. Her costuming dining her
brief, but brilliant engagement at tbo
City Hall, was handsome, and was
worthy of attention. Unfortunately tbo
only society reportor about the place had
eoiia out to do a funeral and it Is impo3-
biblo to say moro than that her clothes
wcro good not particularly adapted to
wear aud tear, perhaps, but good,
Sho acted natural.
It was just 12 o'clock when the Bailiff
in chargo of tho cram jury galled out,
"Cora Potter." The performance beforo
the grand jury then commenced by
what tltlo It is not known. Possibly
Mrs. Potter would call It, "Sbo Stoops to
Conquer;" but Mr. Buck, alias Brown,
would, no doubt, stlgmatUo it as "Tlio
Lady of Lio-ings," A numbor of mem
bers of tho rogular company appeared as
support' to Mrs, Potter Ja this engage
ment. At tweuty minutes past 1 o'clock the
grand Jury returned nn indictment
against James Brown, alias J. B, Hunt,

Mrs, Pottor's robber Is a rather good
looking and well-educated young man,
who says he is 21 voars old.
Ho comes from a good old Virginia
family nnd lias somo ylstcis who ate well
known in tlio best circles of Washington
society. It was for their 6ako that ho
refused to give his namo to the station
keeper when ho was arrested. Tho namo
he wroto In tho AUlngton register when
ho leglstcrcd was, of couiso, an assumed
ono.
Tho story goes that ho inherited quito
a considerable fortuno, which he spent
froely, a largo part of It In traveling. In
cidentally he luado tlio acquaintance of
somo noted hotel thiorcs, and .bouio half

connections wcro so extensive and so
well manipulated that tboy wero unusu

plunder and their opeiatlon.i linvo given
tho polico rt great deal of trouble.
Arid all this limo tins well-bred young
thief's sisters bavo been Ignorant of his
life nnd whereabouts, believing him to bo
traveling Iu somo foiclgn country.
Ho persists iu keeping her light namo
from being mado public and it is qttlto
possible that ho may gain immunity for
himself by "giving away" the rest of the
clover band of robbers, of which bo Is
said to be a promising member,
as,

l'J
In his manner and talk ho Is unusually
pleasant and gentlemanly, nnd ono can
not but be Intciestcd in his case.
It is not probablo that ho would havo
anv difficulty in bccurlnc ball should ho
call nu the many well-to do fiicnds of his
family, but his family pride will likely
prevent this and rather than bring dis
place on hlssislors, who aio Ignorant of
his position, ho will probably allow
himself to bo locked up hi u cell and
leave his sisters to their prebcut pleasant

Triitoil tn (ho tlullty Ono- An Hi-Chief's
Statement.
Tlio infoi illation concerning the miss
ing Treasury notes, published yesterday
in Tub Kvn.viso Por, has occasioned
cousldcrnble comment, and the methods
employed by the Bureau of Kngravlng
and Printing to protect the Government
against the loss of any of thp enormous
values entrusted to Its bafe-kcoplng
would not prove uninteresting at this
lime.
Thoro is a system of chocks and counter-cheeks
In 1'oico at the Bureau which
renders detection of tlio loss of a sheet or
a number of sheets nlmot a certainty
within ii few hours after tbo occiiircnce.
A sheet having been catolcssly mislaid,
It is but a question of a fow moments to
uncertain where the paclutgo "Was last
handled, and in that room thu search Is
bosun.
lu theiiicantlmoordersdru itsued hold
ing oveiv employo of tlio Bureau within
the building until such timo as thu lost
sheet bo brought lo light or It bo deter
mined by the otllcials that because of tho
lateness of the hour the March, will bo
abandoned for tho night.
In this ovent tho aupeilnlcnuont of the
division in which the lo was supposed
to have occurred b required to give a
receipt to tho chief of the Bureau for the
faco value of tho missing security, thus
indemnifying the Government against
loss bliouid tlio scaicii prove unsuccess
ful. Prior to Tuesday's occurrence it is un
derstood that tho Bureau since its organ
isation has been peculiarly fortqiiato In
that it hai sustained no loss of securities
cither from dihoncst employes or care
lessness or mismanagement, nnd possibly
this illlllculty now rests wiin itio 'irens
ury Department. In the absencoof defi
nite information It is impossible to dc
tei mine.
No clow to tho whereabouts of tho
ml'sing Treasury notes has been discov
ered, though tho search Is still being
prosecuted with unabated vigor.
Thursday evening live members of
tho Niiniborlng Division of tbo Bureau
were detained, but no satisfactory results
w cro reached and they wero allowed to
depart about five o'clock. Wednesday
affernoon thu untiro division was detained
and n most thoiough search indulged in,
uut with no better result.
Yesterday thgse tactics woro repotted,
and to-day the hunt is still going on,
though the hopc3 of recovering tbo 200
is momentarily growing less.
What the outcome may bo It is impos
sible to predict. No receipt f,or tlio miss
ing sheets litis been given, so tho re
sponsibility evidently rcbts witn me
Bureau of F.ntriaving'and Printing.
A leprcseiitativoof The V'vkniko Post
held a conversation with an iix-chiQf of
thu Bureau of Lngravlng and Piluting
this morning and requested him to give
his views as to the alleged manage
ment of tho Blircau. The ox-ofueinl do
cllnod'to'Bav a word concornlnc tho mls-

ipttHuL0) but fii-c5ncrsatlbh"ho- said:
"Assuming that tho newspaper ac
count of tbo loss bo correct (but you
know they necessarily mako mistakes) I
will stato that it only verifies a prediction
which I made during my incumbency to
tho effect that thu removal of the scaling
branch of tho Bureau to tlio Treasury
would result, sooner or later, in bome
thlng of this kind."
Continuing, ho baid: "Prior to tho re
moval which I have mentioned tho work
on tho notes aud hecurities was com
pleted at the Bureau, aud delivered on
requisitions to tlio Treasurer of tlio
United States, who duly receipted for
tiieni, tints vesting tno entiiu responsi
bility with tbo Chief of the Bureiu."
Ho further said: "Whon tho matter of
the transfer was under advisement, I
piot sled vigorously against tho change,
for it would certainly divide the respon
sibility, and it seomed to mo an unneces
sary and utisafo departure from a well
established and efficient custom."
