Those toon are always i,,i.>. careful in arranging tlio preliminariw to become publicly identified with tlio caso even if tho robbers themselves should fall into the bauds of the detectives, They are, however, known to a few at headquarters, though, after arranging the details, they aro never known to take any interest in tho case, unless it be to hunt. up bail for tlio.tjiiovos if they happen to be caught,' It is pretty well known I'or instance, that the robbing of. the Hoxbury Gaslight Company's office, some mouths ago, was planned by Boston citizens for Carson aud Minor, tho' colobrated sneak thieves, who, with a woman well-known to the police, are known 1 to havo dono that piece of work. It was believed that a largo amount of monoy would be got there, but in this very particular feature the undertaking was a dismal failure, for the amount secured was only about BOQdol., which would not be enough to coverthe expenses of preparation and travelling. Bail was got for Carson and Minor, and they havo left tho city. It is not oxpected that they would return to answer to the charge whon tho case is called for trial. The mou who do this preliminary work always get a largo share of the "profits," In some cities they uro also employed to "fix things" with tlio police, After a time all ," big thieves" become so woll known to the authorities everywhere that it is not safo for them to travel about much in search of " work," so the easiest and surest way for thorn to do when they have a piece of "work" hi prospect in a city, is to get tho " silent partner" in that oity to go to the officer who would bo likely to apprebeud them, and get bis permission for them to make a' visit. This permission is always estimated' on a financial basis, and the " silent partner" arranges that and pays the money.
