department. It was then arranged that Mr. Drew should come to Mr. Powers's at 5 o'clock, and see who called to receive the money for the medicine. Mr. Drew being in attendance when Moss called at Mr. Powers's store, and telling Mr. Powers that he did not know him, Mr. Powers paid Moss for the drugs. Thursday Mr. Drew saw Moss on the street, and had him arrested by the detectives, who, on taking him into custody, learned that he and Spillers roomed together at the boarding-house of G. W. Bowman, father of S. H. Bowman, on Franklin street, below 15th street. On searching this room they found a large quantity of government cloth and thread, and some other drugs, pilfered from the Medical Purveyor's. Bowman and Spillers were then arrested. All the parties being kept separate, each made a confession. Bowman said he had stolen the drugs from the Purveyor's department, and given them to Moss to sell on their joint account, and that Moss having sold them cheated him in the settlement
