The TRAVELS AND PERms or JoSEs-We find in
The Mr-Barn Courier the following account OF the
csptuIe Of Samuel E. Jones the alleged dsiaultsr Of
the Colchester Bank:
Samuel +. Jones is, sfter good deal of trouble,
broUg TO Connecticut for trial the charges against
him Of cefauiirg or robbng the Col,hestsr Bank OF
5000. He ched this cigy Saturday, afternoon
at O'CLOCK, having been more than tSeny'f hours
on bis ourrey from Ne~-ioIk. The stories about a
rescue and the ov,iturnpg of the carriage ia which
Jones was, are untrue. Suerif Payne, of Neg Lon.
con County, who. slth Constable Cbamoetln, oil
Hartford brought Jones to Connecticut, has Hyen US
al account of the vents which trsnspred subsequent
to Jotes departure from TIE Recorder Coort. We
publish else here from the Ne xYork papers, an ac
count of the scere IN Court on FRIDAY morning. we
understand from other sources that 1T was most ex

and prepared TO resist to the last any ate npt To
rescue him. They were sustained by party Of NV
York Deputy SHERIFF., and when they put jones lato

and drove of they were attended BY two more cir-
riages, containing the New.iork Sheriff s party.
Jones friends supposed they would go To tls NoS-
Haven depot and il is said they offered $500 to hsve

mean to give them another chance. Tney drove, by
crcuitOos route through the city, to the Tnirtyrst
street depot of the Hudson Rrer Road, put Jones on
board tie train, and accompanied by eight New York
officers went up the road ABBOTT 100 miles to Rllne-
beck. There they dismissed all but one of the Ne ~

York State line, where they stayed Friday night: Va
Saturday they drove over to Falls Village, took the
HousstoDic road to Bridgeport, and thence to
New.HayeD, reaching here at p. IN. Ihey
started again by the evening train for New
London and Norwich, and jones was, we
suppose safely lods ed in the Norwich Jail oa Satur

route taken by the officers, and it was not TIL the

to telegraph to his father that they got aoy clue TO

New Haven Depot. Sheriff Payne says no behaved
