He allowed to write letter to his wife, and hold
an interview with one of his original company who
had left him before they crossed into Mexican terri
tory, after which he was led out to execution He
tied to post in front of the building he had oc-
cupied his face to the post and his back to his exc

exhibited in conspicuous place, for the multitude
to gaze upon. Among the killed are number of

Three or four days ago, man hired a horse and

about to leave town, with horse and carriage Mr.
Dewey seized his baggage for security He after
wards stated these facts Mr. Robinson who start
ed on the track Of the thief and got traces of him at
Norwalk. Atthat place he secured the services of
Constable Bireell and with him proceeded to New
York. where they caught tn rascal, recovered the
property and brought him to this city in Thursday
evenings boat Constable Edward Bartram then
took the thief in charge, and conducted him to jail
On Saturday he examined before Justice Bennett
and fully committed fer trial. There is but little
doubt that sigourney is regular bred rascal, and
has been travelling about the country under various
assumed names. It is said that he drove Mr. Rob-
inson's horse 1875 miles without feeding him, and
went a round about way to New York, and more
than twice the distance necessary in order to escape
detection He is now safely Gagged. and we trust be
