ARREST OF ARRrsos THE MURDERER
OF Nh. AND Mrs. ALLIsoN.-It will be
generally remembered, that the public
ear in Cincinnati was stunned on the
morning of the 9th of June last by the
alarming intelligence that the Superin-
tendent of the Marine Hospital, on the
corner of Western Row and Long
worth street, and his wife had been
made the victims of the design of some
miscreant, who, in the guise Of a pres
ent, had sent them an ''infernal ma
chine" which, exploding while being
opened, blew twenty-five pieces of balls,
slugs and pieces of iron into the legs
and body of Mr. Allison, and otherwise
SO horribly mutilating him that he died
before morning. Mrs. A. was so shock
ingly mutilated that she died next day.
Fruitless search has been made for the
alleged perpetrator of the diabolical act,
until clue was obtained on Saturday,
when gentleman of this city, named
c. F. Willard, found in his box letter
addressed to o. F. Willard, from Mr..
Willets, of Muscstine, Iowa, on matters
copSsrning his pecuniary affairs. The
N Hbus REF lived evidently had fallen
81 3 hands, and the person who
1t handed it to Miles Green
.Eho communicated the matter to +,
Hoke and Marshal Rufin, who at
once suspected that the letter was from
VIM. H. Arrison, the alleged murderer
On Monday morning, Mayor Snelbaker, !
Capt. Hoke and Deputy Marshal Lee
left on the cars for Chicago, Davenport
and Muscatine.
They arrived at the latter place on
Tuesday evening, and after making dill
gent inquiries. they found out that
Willets was clerk in the drug store Of a
Mr.. Daugherty, and passing under the
name of Willets. On Wednesday morn
ing early, the officers, by the assistance
Of the deputy sheriff, procured warrant
for Willets' arrest, not, however, until
they had satisfied themselves that he was
VIM. H. Arrison. About 8 O'Clock,
they went to the drug store. Arrison
was seated on chair with his back to
the door, reading newspaper. The
sheriff and Mayor Snelbaker at the
same time placed one hand on each
and calling him by name an
nounced to him that he was their pris-
oner. Arrison started to his feet, and
appeared excited.
He then declared that Arrison was
his. name, and at first objected to ac-
,ompsnying them, but after few mo-
nents reflection he consented. The
news of the arrest of Willets as the
nan Arrison, soon spread through the
own of Muscatine, and much excite
nent was manifested, but an entire will
ingness to have him brought to Cincin-
lati for examination was manifested by
he citizens.
In two hours after his arrest they had
lin handcuffed and on his was up to ,
he Mississippi river, on the steamer j. ,
kcKee, to Rock Island. where they took ,
he cars for this city. They arrived in
cincinnati last evening at " O'Clock, !
md lodged Arrison in the Ninth street /
Station House. Arrison is very low I
pirited. He was under strong guard j
he whole of last night. 1t will be re-
nembered that the Grand Jury have $
lready found an indictment against I
i'm, and the probability is, that he will t
ave his trial at the present term of the n
criminal Court. His brother has been t
a the city several days. /
Upon searching Arrison's trunk, they i,
ound book and other papers with his 4
anne plainly written thereon. When h
e left this city he wore heavy whiskers, '
Thich he has had shaved off since his \
eparture. He had been in the en- T
10y of Daugherty. the druggist, about {
nree months, and had always managed d
} avoid suspicion.-Cin. Gazette. a
