149 . H&G Feb. 7:2/2 - A few weeks since, the store of Mr. Monroe on the
wharf was broken open and robbed of some $3,000 in cash. Suspicion attached
to the inmates of an adjacent grocery and a day or two since the
keeper Mr. Persons, was arrested and committed to jail on the charge
of robbery in consequence of the disclosures made by one of his accomplices,
three of whom had been traced to Buffalo and there imprisoned.
We are glad to learn a large part of the money stolen has been recovered.

currency' by the office holders before the thieves broke in.
