First Sentence: A mysterious affair occurred on the--Railroad not a great while ago, that caused the officials to think that our modern rascals have become adepts at originating new methods for every new robbery or attempt at robbery. (Good News edition)
Last Sentence: The medical gentleman, who was to take charge of the corpse, was not seen after the arrest; but if the door of the baggage-car could have been opened from the outside without a key, the probabilities are that the messenger would have received medical treatment not laid down in the rules of the profession.
