Philadelphia, Aug. 6.- Robert J. Kilpatrick, employed as a laborer at the United States mint, in this city, has been arrested by secret service operatives charged with stealing 858 silver dollars from a vault. The money was stolen while the coins in the mint were being transferred from one vault to another. The robbery occurred in December and January last. The coins were in canvas bags and boxes. A loose dollar aroused suspicion and led to the discovery. During the search a penknife with which the packages had been opened was found and led to the identification of Kilpatrick.
