The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1841-05-13
From the Missouri Republican.

On Tuesday night, Messrs. John At
kinson and r. B. Mcdowell, who had
gone up the Missouri in the Col Woods,
in pursuit Of Warrick, one of the murder
ers and incendaries of the 18th ult., ar
rived at our wharf in the Omega, with
the object Of their pursuit, at about IL
o'clock. Warrick had lief. here in the
| Omega, and the Col. Woods met her near
Arrow Rock, where. being hailed from
the Col. Woods, she rounded to, and the
boats came together. Messrs. Mcdowell
and Atkinson Immediately went on board
the Omega, found their chap, promptly
secured him, and then transferred their
baggage to the Omega, and returned with
their prisoner. ..-..
He protested utter innocence in the
whole matter, asserting tina, all his infor-
nation was derived from Brown, one Of
the desperadoes yet at large. In other
respects, his narration was pretty much
the same as that given by Ennis, publish
ed in this paper a few days ago. He al,
so stated tina, Madison aud Brown were
burners Of the Branch Bank a, G.hena.--
He gives his name as Alpheus Warrick.
james w. Seward, another of the gang
was brought up yesterday morning in the
Pre- E,mplion. He had left this city in
The ATLANTA; and Mr. Gordon, one of our
efficient conslables, who had left here in the
Tartar, for the apprehension of Madison,
on his arrival at Cairo, finding the Atalan
ia at the wharf, went on board, found
Seward, secured him, and Immediately
transferred him to the Presumption and
brought him up. He gives similar ac
count of the tragedy with the other two,
acknowledging his own guilt, and impli
eating Ennis. lie stated tina, he left
Brown in Cincinnati on Thursday last,
the 29lh ult., and that the next day after
the Atalanta left, he was 10 leave for New
! Orleans on another boat. MIR Gordon en-
gagged persons at Cairo to be upon the
look out for him, and secure him if he
should come along. Mr. Gordon again
returned yesterday on the Gen. Pralle
for N. Orleans, unless he should meet
with Brown in custody at Cairo, in which
case he will probably return with him.
Seward lays the whole blame to Madison
and Brown. as projectors, leaders, and
chief execuiioners in the tragedy. lie
also states that Madison had sworn, or de-
clare,l, that if discovered or informed up
on. he would never be taken alive.
Some time ago burglary was com
mit,ed upon the store of Sinclair Taylor
g. Co; and in the possession Of Seward
was found several articles belonging to
one of the firm. He says Madison and
Brown committed that act, with an attempt
to fire the building at the same time, and
about the same time they committed the
burglary upon the store of E. & A. Tracy.
Justice now appears to stand fair
chance of being melted out to those mis-
crean,s and desperadoes. We look for
, the forthcoming of Madison by the return
Of the Meteor, and if Brown leaves Gin,
cnnati according TO intention, he will
stand good chance of making his appear
ance among us even before Madlson.--
They now all four seem destined to pay
the high penalty due to the violated laws.

The tale of horror is completed. The
four monsters. whose unparalleled out
rage of the night Of the 18th uit. struck
such an appalling chill to every heart
are all in custody, awaiting their trial
OF their identity there can be no doubt.
Their own confessions are amply suttl-
cient evidence to condemn them.
