Announcement was made to-day that ®& plan to wreck with dynamite and |” Fob the treasure train running on the New York, New Haven and Hartford tracks between New York and Boston had been frustrated by President Mellen nd other officials of the railroad com- pany. The plan to wreck and rob followed Wareats received by Mr. Mellen that trains on his road would be wrecked unless he gave money to an organised wang of Dlackmatiers and train wreck- om Asoording to the information gtven out the plan was fo dynamite the train Qnd.rob the treasure cars on Monday night, The railroad officials were so certain that this plan would be carried {nto execution that & small army of detectives and guards was placed on the care and along the line of the road. Fiaaned to Attack Boston Express. President Medien and the other of- ficlals of the road became convinced that an attempt would be made to wreck and rob the Boston train leav- ing New York on Monday, by Informa- ton that was conveyed to them on Friday last, The attack, according to the information received, was planned on the Adams Express train, which car- ries great sums of money and valuables between New York and Boston, Thomas VF. Dorsey, who has been counsel for the railroad in a number of cases, and who lives In New Lon- don, Cofn., received @ most mysterious letter on Friday night last, telling bim to be in readiness to act on a telegrain which would be sent to him later, Mysterious Letter Received, ‘The mysterious letter was followed by @ telegram which came on Monday and which directed the lawyer to go 40 @ point on the railroad between Waterford and Niantic and to keep @ elose watch on all express trains going fm either direction, The telegram did not reach Mr. Dorsey uatil 10 o'clock at night, and immediately after its re- eeipt a carriage drew up ip front of his house, Fearing that there would be trouble, the lawyer armed himself with revol- vers and a large walking stick. He also donned an old sult of clothes. As he stepped into the carriage the driver, whom he evidently did not know, leaned down trem hise box and said: “I waa told to tell you to stay thero anti] 4 o'clock to-morrow morning.” The carriage was then driven to & secluded spot near Waterford, and Mr. Dorsey began his night watch, Until after daylight he continved his vigil but nothing unusual was noted until the Adams Express train could be heard thundering dwn the tracks. ’ Traig Is Halted Just before it reached Waterford the Grew up and for several minutes ap at @ standstill, Hore it ts sald that a number of additional detectives were let on board, whose duties were to guard the crew and the valuables from the attack which was exvected to take place within the naxt few miles, ‘The train also stopped soon after it left the Grand Central Station and be fore it waa out of New York City, It was slowed down when it was at One Hundred and Forty-ffth street, just after (t had crossed the Harlem River. ‘There, too, detectives were taken aboard and were stationed In the locomotive cab and in the express cars. It is most wnueual for the train to be stopped at this point, and the same ie true of the point before Waterford was reached. None of the oMcials of the road will talk about the matter or tell what aroused them to this sudden vigilance, but it fs not doubted that there were many watchers along the road other than Mr, Dorsey, all ready to move at the slightest indication that the train was to be attacked. Always @ heavy train, and carrying more than a million dollars’ worth of valuables, the Adams Express was un- fm the middle December, It nad been mailed ' threat- ened if BHO was aot certain place om @ date named, press train would be dynamite, That be believed this was Ey Ay ies i] e Fe i : a |, near A was before the express train to ite Tt was off however, that this in hour belief GAMBLING LAYOUT SEIZEp, Four detectives ox ‘Inspector Walsh's ataft made @ raid on an alleged pool. room at Nos. 675-7 Sixth ay yester. | day.
