East Saginaw courier. (East Saginaw, Mich.) 1859-18??, 1864-05-04

4 pulled out stale telegraph dispatch
and hoisting it so that lie could SEQ
what it was, scanned it carefully with
ono eye, while with the other peered
over at him. He nibbled, and short
ly edged toward my position. 1 was
now almost sure, and only wanted one
more grain into the scale to poise the
doubt, So, taking favorite turn in
tho voyage" made overto him and
said, "Havo you an evening paper ? l
ommitted to buy one" "No, sir"
said he, but you will got one inside, l
think" / then pulled out the railway
ticket 30 as 10 carlessly show it.
caught his eyes looking carlessly at it,
and felt more convinced. But when,
just getting into tho train, l saw him
whisper to another personish oove,and
they both looked at me, i was sure of
the spy. But, to my chagrin, he got
into tho carriage beside. / may bc
banked yet, / thought, for perhaps
he is to follow me through. You may
believe / was much relieved when he
got out at Newark, where 1 had in
tended to stop, and SO not compel me
to go on to Philadelphia. L had just
twenty minutes to spare before the re-
turn train came by. / jumped for
the hotel, where was known, appli-
ed for and got q room, and in ten min
utes was the regular cracksman. My
own clothes were put into the carpet
bag, and in short time more l was
back again to town. At Newark my
parson spy got in, and now felt that
/ was right TO perfect certainty
Fortunately / had checked my bag
and it could lay till called for. So,
unincumbered, 1 could operate with
him as / chose. / took bold posi-
ton, and sat down by him. We got
into conversation. Presently i lean
ed over, and whispered meaningly,
'Don't be Hy--I know you. You are
Jack Simpson" (giving him the name
of a bold pickpocket.) He started
and said, "sir, do you wish to insult
me? / am the Rev. Mr.. jones'
"Ah," rejoined l, with my finger to
my nose, 'and you preach for Moses
Ehrwitz, the German fence, / believer
He looked alarmed. 'Don't be afraid,
/ am Bob May, the Baltimore faker,"
/ said. "But since you are afraid to
trust me, / will trust you. This morn
ing i took this jewelry producing the
borrowed articles), and was on my
way to Philadelphia, when who should
be on board but Jack Barker. So /
took return train from Railway" In
stantly he took my hand with a mean
ing pressure, and told me who he was
and how nicely he had been watching
the same offioor, and how cleyerly he
was diddled, going off after his escap-
ed prisoner. And then he laughed
merrily, and egad, laughed too. But
i leave you to Judge who had the best
of the joke.
Joke, sir Ho was no sooner at
the New York side Of the North River
than seized the policeman who is al
ways about the place, whispered a
word to him as to who l was, and
then we both had our parson friend
by the elbows and took him as snugly
as you please, and half frightened to
death, into the chiefs Office. He told
me his name in the carriage, and /
Immediately perceived he was very
excellent ciacksman, and man whom
we had long wanted. 1t was but a
moments work to undeceive him, to
cover him, aud get clean breast of
all wanted, after a promise to let
him 90 for information. My friend,
the policeman, was TO keep him till
morning, when / was to return and
let him Oft. a
Armed with excellent information j
was soon off, and calling n carriage,
rode within few doors Of the house
of the Ehruitz Brothers. Down
stairs they kept a shop, but upstairs l
was certain they kept a regular crib,
merely using the counting-room as a
blind, and as place in which to shove
off articles that from their common
use could not be identified. They
were just closing the shop as / went
in and asked for the elder. He made
his appearance l told him l wanted
some private conversation. At this
moment-it was now half past eleven
o'clock-my partner entered, most
capitally disguised as countryman,
to make pretended purchase and ro-
connoiter, and meaning smile pass
ed between us. Ho said out very
boldly, "Talk away, mine friend, Ish
got no private place but dish; talk
away"
i whispered to him the name of the
follow who was then in durance vile
at the station. He started and led
the way up stairs. "Vot of him ?"
said he, as he got up stairs. Why,
Just this" | answered, putting on a
bold way, ~ met him on the train
watching Jack Barker, who stopped a
little journey i was taking, and / turn
ed around with this little swag"--and
j produced the jewelry-"some Ipull-
cd this morning, and our friend said
l couldn't do better than to sell it to
you. i suppose it is worth two thou
sand dollars orso." His caution in an
instant succumbed to the ayarice, and
he took mo in to the third story, where
he locked the door. ''Sinco you have
mado clean bosom to me, can trust
you, my fine fellow for We are alono
you can never betray me, for dare is
no corroberashun and dat is where
we are safe you, gentlemen |! You
did that little matter well--I read il
in 70 paper" Sying this, and smoth-
ering a vulgar chuckle, he touchsd a
little spring in the wall, and the false
wainscot moved, disclosing space Of
two feet behind. Twas almost thrown
off my guard with joy, for now ! saw
that the whole viliainy would shortly
be at INV disposal. From the recess
