He was a Polish boy, 11 years of age, and could neither read nor write. There were five bundies in all, and each contained 1,000 $5 bills, The boy did not know their value, and he left four of the five there. The other he sold for $4. Thus the officers had their first clue to the great rob bery in which $270,000 was blown from the vault of the Bank of Mon- treal and carried away in pillow slips and beddi John McNamara was arrested in New York yesterday and Charles Dean was taken into custody in Los Angeles Saturday, charged with the crime. Both arrests were made by Pinkerton operatives, following a wide search on clues developed by the Seattle office. But $46,000 of the money has yet been recovered, although, aceording to statements of the Pinkertona, the remainder is secreted in four separate caches, and will ultimately be recovered. Methods Very Simple. The methods of the robbers were simple, but very effective. Directly above the vault was a room in which a bank clerk slept, but the clerk was away on a vacation at} the time. Entrance to the vault was| effected through this room. The vault was blown with nitro-«lycer: ine and an electrical connection. No} silver was taken, and rolls of $1 and} $2 bills were left untouched. Gold and bills of large denominations lwere packed in pillow slips and lother bedding. Twenty thousand in | gold was found under a bridge by a workman and $25,000 In paper by ¢ Polish newsboy. The four men ms escaped in an automobile.
