OF Jewelry. round the wagon ana mar
ness in possession of Payes, and the
horse in possession of Franklin Deputy
Sheriff; and learned that during the
week following his attempted arrest,
Brown was on the road between that
place and Malone, near which place he
stole some $40 worth of goods. He was
arrested, on Saturday, the 8th by officers
near Malone, and the next day he was de-
livered to the officer from Franklin, and
brought to that place, where he was
handed over to the authorities of Bloom
ingdale on the charge for stealing the
jcwelry, that being the largest offence.
On an examination, it was thought best
to take care of him, and his bail was fix
ed at $1,000; in default of which it was
decided to send him to Elizabethtown
Jail.
He was left for short time in charge
of the court and another man, while the
sheriff went to engage team to take him
to Eliza BEETHOVEN the next morning; but
before the return of the sheriff, Brown
managed to escape through the window,
with his handouts on. This was on
Tuesday, the 18th, the day | started for
York State.
Returning, found where, to G. G. Fuller,
Brown, had sold for $l4, pair of har-
nesses worth $75 On inquiry learned
that Harrison Villas, of Winooski had
lost horse, as also Henry Hammond, of
Underhill and that Mr.. Robinson, also
of Underhill, had lost wagon and har-
ness, evidently taken by Brown. This
was on Saturday the 18th.
Before returning, the officer in Frank
lin, handed me an intercepted letter
from Brown, to one ] coke, Of Low ell, ask
ing him to come and get his horse and
wagon, as he was in trouble. This led
me to suspect that Locke was an accom-
plice and on Sunday. the 10th, went to
see Locke, and learned that he had start
ed for York State; and also learned that
he had the Villas mare with him. Then
returned, and at North Hyde Park, j. L.
Croker, said that Locke had learned that
| was after him, and had changed his
course, and gone to Hyde Park Street.
Went so far toward johnson as to learn
that Locke had net gone that way, and
then came back toward the street, and
found Locke near VIM. Pages, bat did not
recognize him. | soon learned who he
was and turned back, and by the assist
ance Of George Sargent, Of Eden. caught
him. after hard chase at the bridge at
North Hyde Park. Took him to Jail,
where he was kept until Tuesday, when,

ney, by promise of release, obtained a con-
fession, showing where most of the stolen
property might be found took him out
and went to Barnston, in Canada; and
there found the horse wagon and harness
obtained by Locke, in exchange for the
Underhill team, bought of Brown and
took it to Barford, when the Underhill
harness was disposed of, changed har-
nesses; from thence to Eaton, and chang
ed wagons; and three or four miles fur
ther changed horses Also found joys
watch, given in boot" between horses.
Having obtained all the stolen property,
started for home, and left Locke near his
father ,instructing him as to what he must
do, in relation to the arrest of Brown, if
he would secure himself from further
trouble, and then went to the residence of
Mr.. Searls, some four miles. Within
about an hour Locke came and said that
Brown had been at his fathers that day,
and left his bvercoat. | told him to 90
back and get Brown out on an excursion
that night, and manage to have him pass
, Rock Island Bridge at IL o'clock
and we would be there to take him.
In about two hours more, Locke came
again, and said that he could not make
any arrangement with Brown, and that he
was going away, not having slept in a
house since breaking away from the off
