Dead men tell nO Tales"

a LEAF IN THE HISTORY OF THE Cox
sPIRAcY.-The schemes connected. and
the system under which the gang Of ruff
fans, recently arrested along the line OF
the Central Railroad. were drilled, and
the depths to whish they were ready to
sink themselves in crime and depravity,
may be partially inferred from the follow
ing leaf in the history of their conspiracy.
At one of their regular meetings,
which they were in the habit of holding
periodically at their place of Rendezvous,
for the purpose of consultation as to fu-
ture movements, and the division of
plunder, la was reported by some, in the
order of business. that one of their sworn
number. whose name was stated, had
been detected in revealing some of the
secrets that should have been known on
ly TO the initiated Suspicious of be-
trayal were freely INDUCED in. and to he
question, as how the guilty one should
be silenced, one Of the conclave made the
significant remark that dead men tell no
talesr Acting upon this hint, it was u
unanimously agreed that the punish ment
should be death; and the duty of carrying
the penalty into effect should be let on.
TO the lowest bidder for the Job The
first offer was named at three hundred and
fifty dollars for an assassination, and the
bidding went on till the sum was lower
ed TO one hundred dollars--the bidder re-
serving the right TO put the victim out of
the way in his own place and manner,
ard the time allotted not to exceed four
days. This offer was the price finally a.
greed upon, and the money was immedi-
ately counted out and paid over 10 the
fiend who had agreed to steep his hand in
the murder. The individual complained
Of. and thus singled out as the victim of
their vengeance, was one of the two who
for eighteen months had been under paw
of the Central Railroad Company for the
purpose of detecting and bringing to JUS
tee this most a bandoned gang of despe-
radoes. Fearing he had become suspect
ed Of treachery. he had di6uised himself,
and in the capacity of one of their own
western accomplices. had presented him
self by the proper pass word and was
present throughout this interesting coun-
ell, where his life had become pricei-
AT the first opportunity. after these in
teresting prelminaries had been settled,
our marked man withdrew from the in
fernal cabal. little relishing as may be
supposed. the warm position in which he
found himself place making it :he last
time he ever met the precious gang in
council. and being but day or two be-
