RELEASED THROUGH THE INTER VEN
TON OF JfR. FREDERICK C. CROWLEY
THEY MAKE THEIR APPEARANCE AT
THE EXCHANGE OFFICE.
There were recorded in the local columns of this
paper, about ten days since, the particulars of a
gross and unprovoked outrage, perpetrated at the
publichouse of man named John Hartzell, about
three miles from the city, in which his furniture
and bar fixtures were broken up, the proprietor
assaulted, and young man named George Barnett
severely beaten. 1t was we'll known at the time
that the perpetrators of the outrage were certain
notorious rowdies, well known in the western sec
ton of the city, but arrests were made from the
fact that the affair occurred in the county and the
police had no warrants to arrest them The mat
ter however, having been brought to the attention
of Judge Price, his Honor, on Wednesday evening
directed Geo. II. Carman, clerk of the court, to
Issue warrants for the arrest of John Gambrill,
David Houck, James Morgan, and one or two
others whose names our reporter was unable to
ascertain The warrants were sent by Mr..
Carman to Sheriff Creamer, of this city, with
directions to have the parties arrested The Sheriff
accordingly placed the warrants in the hands of his
deputies and detectives Gates and Sutton. Yester-
day morning, Morgan was noticed passing through
the rotunda OF the Court House, near the door of
TN ene onerin,s of1ce, and was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Ia. K. Woolen. He made no resistance but
said he would like to see his family before he was
taken to Towsontown. He was accordingly accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff Pointer to his house.
Where ne remained few minutes and then returned
to the Sherifs Office. The officers now started in
search OF the other parties, and on arriving near
Baltimore and Fremont streets, HOuck and Gam
Drill were discovered on the corner. On the an
proach OF the officers they started off at rapid rate
the officers in hot pursuit Houck was captured
alter running few hundred yards, and conveyed to
the Sheriff Office. Gambrill continued to run and
was not until he had gotten beyond the Mt
Clare depot, when he was captured by deputy
Meolen, and also brought to the Sheriff's Office
Inc three prisoners were then placed in hack and
handed over to the of Sheriff Hook of the coun-
ty. Detectives Sutton and Gates also accompanied
the parties to Towsontown. No demonstration was
made against any of the officers at the time of the
arrests, although large crowd collected around
and followed Gambrill to the Sherilf's office On
arriving at Towsontown they were taken before
Judge Price, and application was Immediately made
Tor bail. The Judge fixed the bail at 81 900 each
Tor assauting with intent to kill Hartzel and $500
each for rioting, which was rendered by Frederick
U. Crowley, at present a member of the Leyisla-
ture OF Maryland from the city of Baltimore and
contractor on the new citv water works and the
city Gley assenger railway: The parties on their re-
lease, came to the city in hacks, and proceeded up
Baltimore street in a triumphant manner.
Shortly before o'clock in the afternoon. they
made their appearance on the pavement at the cor
ner OF Baltimore and North streets, in front of the
Office of this paper. Approaching the bulletin
board at our door, which had been posted in the
morning an announcement of the arrest of the
PARTY, and their removal to Towsontown, John
GaG6ri tore down the notice, saying that it was ga
ID ile-he was not in Towsontown, but in Balti-
more After this precious piece Cf bravado the
party betook themselves to their accustomed haunts
in Holiday street The police offered to arrest
them for de!acing our buetn-board, but in a com
munity where men scarcely punished Tor mur-
der, it seemed ridiculous to make a fuss about so
trivial matter, and accordingly the services of the
ing on the sidewalk was asked by one of the gang
II he was repoIter-in tone and with gesture
which had the effect ofelcitng prompt answer in
the negative
