his arrest when they charged that he was fugitive
from justice, and stated that they should detan him
until they could hear from Governor shannon N rea-
ton to the case To this Robinson replied by denying
that he was fugitive, and stating that ne was on hn
way East on personal business. His plea, however,
not credited, and he was taken 70 the mouse o.
Gen. Sawyer where he is now prisoner under guard
His wife accompanied him, but afterward left tor 81
Louis. Governor Robinson was told that If he did
not submit 10 the capture force would be used. He,
