HAMILTON, May /.
One Of the stage robbers was arrested
here last night. 1t seems he came into
town late on Sunday night and stopped
at the Jackson House, hoping by the
boldness Of the act, to escape suspicion,
but finding that he was watched, at
tempted to slip out of town unobserved,
about half-past eight last evening. After
getting mile away he discovered a
couple of mounted and armed men on
his trail and concluding that the game
was up, made the best of his way back to
town and gave himself up. He Is
German and gives his name as George
Smith. To-day detective visited him
and managed to frighten him into con-
fession. He says that they got but
little money for their pains, twenty or
thirty dollars. After they had robbed
the box, all three of them came to Ham,
ilton, and he says they stood opposite
the Coroner's office, and saw the corpse
of the murdered driver brought in.
The other two robbers then start
ed for the sagebrush, while he
remained behind, thinking he would
be safer here, but his actions betrayed
him. He says that one of his compan-
ions fred the fatal shot, and be thought
it was done accidentally. 1t is almost
certain the other two will be captured,
dead or alive, before tomorrow night,
and if brought in alive, there is strong
talk of lynch law for all three of them.
