ROBBERY AND MURDER.
Arrest Of a Fugitive Criminal
from New Orleans.

i Yesterday Col. Beaumont received .
dispatch from Mr.. j. J. Williamson,
Chief of Police, New Orleans, requesting
him TO arrest one George Benson, who
was supposed to have taken passage on
either the Silver Spray or Henry Ames
for this city. He Is accused Of
robbing a house in New Orleans
and beating family to death. Detectives
Hastings aud McCune searched both
steamers, but failed to find him. Daring
the day Benson was arrested on the
street, from the description forwarded.
He acknowledged being Benson, but de-
MED any completely in the crime Ofwhich
he was accused. Colonel Beaumont tel
egraphed to New 0rleass last night, and
requisition will doubtless be forwarded
from the Governor of Louisiana.
