Arrest Of Felons.


Marshal Felps returned TO the city early tins
morning from his Louisville expedition, bring
ing Shipman, who robbed Albright's gun store.
and II. }. Walker, who sold free negro TO Mr..
Aigier, of this city, some months back. Shin
man was confined in the Louisville workhouse.
and Walker in Jail in that city. The latter, i
Will be remembered, in connection with another
man, sold two negroes one to Mr.. Zigler. as
mentioned, and the other 10 gentleman of
Doonville. Since that time, Walkers career
has been an adventurous one.. 1t appears that
after he obtained the purchase money for the
negro of Mr.. Zigler, he persuaded the negro 70
run off again, which he did. Accordingly, he
proceeded from this city to Memphis, on the
Greek Slave, where Walker sold the negro 70
Messrs. Brown & Dixon, of that ciiy. He had
planned for third sale of the negro. but was
suspected, and fled to Helena, Arkansas. The
negro was lodged in Jail in Memphis. From
Helena Walker went to Louisville. There, in
cooperation with man calling himself Doctor
whitney, he obtained a quantity of -four at
some town on the Ohio above, aud sold il fraud
ulently to Mr.. Stewart, merchant in Louis
VILE. They were both arrested and lodged in
jail. Marshal Felps, on finding him there, sent
information TO Gov, King, of this State, request
ing requisition for him. and obtained It. The
authorities of Louisville would not surrender
Walker TO him, as he had been committed there
for swindling, and besides requisition was
expected daily from the Governor of Tennes
see, They were unwilling to decide the right
to the custody Of the prisoner, without the au-
thority of Gov. Powell. The Marshal, with
some of the Louisville police accordingly visited
Frankfort, and submitted their claims to the
Governor, who decided in favor of Marshal
Feps and his rcqusitOn. On his return TO
Louisville, Walker was delivered to him. and
he started for this city. This man is an eccom-
phsned rascal. There was found in his pos
session an obligation signed by Mr.. Zigler
which he obtained at the time of The sale OF the
negro, in effect that he might re-purohase the
negro after the lapse of so many DAYS, by nav
ing ten per cent. on the price he had sold him fc,
4he document is written in hand which
proves him an able and ready penman. This
was intended TO deceive Mr.. Zigler as to the
