Frior 10 the 10Th October Samuel q. Trow-
bridge, WIN. NJ. Wilson, Armor Hunt, Ira G.
Whtemorc, William Caldwell, Tapley ii
Stewart, ibrother of Virgil A. Steward, the he
70 of the famous Murel disclosures and scvc-
raj other persons, been arrested in Little Rock,
on suspicion of having been concerned in steal
ing about $4,000 of Real Estate Bank money
from the office of J. D. Fitzgerald, a Justice
Of the Peace at that place, on the night of the
23th Of August also Of having been concern
ton Tickets, and United States gold and
silver coin, and in robbing Mr.. Keats store
Of about five thousand dollars' worth Of Jew
elry, some twelve months since. The five
persons mentioned, had undergone Il prelimna-
~ examination, and been committed for further
trial. William Caldwell escaped from custody
soon after his arrest, but being goaded by hun
ger, guilt, destltuton, and hot pursuit, he ionnd
il eXpedicnt to surrender, and confessed him
self guilty OF the charges pc;ieg:cd against
him.
These astounding disclosures, in connection
with the arrest, and examination OF the suppo-
sed criminals produced, as might be expected, a
great excitement at Little Rock, and sense of
danger, which caused the better part of the ci-
tizens TO concert measures for the common de-
fence. Among other things, night patrol was
established, in which the most respectable citi-
Zens acted as watchmcn, for the purpose of ar
resting all suspicious persons, preventing the
conhagralion Of property by ineendIarcs.
On the night Of October 9TH, says the paper
above mentioned, two separate guards we're in.
adverteny placed at the house of William
Caldwell, (who VAS then running at large
with view to detect hnn. as it was known he
was lurking about the city. These different
guards were iglorant of the presence of each
other at Caidwell's house. The night was cou.
dy and dark, and the guards we're completely
drenchcd with rain, which had tll.cn during
the night. Mr.. y. B. Thomasson was a mem
Der Of one of the guard, and Mr. Elwin Y. Ba
kera member Of the other. Mr.. Baker wa
shot by Mr.. Thomisson, through mistake, anc
died IN few minutes. Mr.. Thonasson is
worthy and much respected gentleman, and /
acquitted by public sentiment, of al criminal de
sign, for 1t is well known, that he and MIR. Ia
ker were friendly 10 each otherio the last.
Mr.. Baker was, we believe native Of tiar
ford, Comm and was abont twenty year
old. lie had been married but ear or tw,
and at the time his widowed companion and f
therless child are, we understand in the city
Boston, at the fire side Of her pareuts. A lc
ter was despatched TO her on Friday mornn
conveying the heart rcnding news.
