A few days Slice the following yRlst
dour was received By Capt. Yater:
AfLAHTA, GA, Dec. ), 1S73-Chief Po-
lice, Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sir: My bro
ther, n. NJ. Armand stole from my safe on
the night of the Sd inst. between 1000
and 81, 100, and has left for parts unknown.
Very probably has gone. to, or may pass
through, your city. lie was very much at
tached to a woman of COnyers, formerly by
the name Of Alice Pennington. The two
may be found together at some house of i'll
fame. lie is familiarity known as Newt.

his arrest. Notify me at C0nyefs, Ca, by

j. Ii. ALMAND,
Per 5. e. X.
The members of the police force Of the
city were at once notified to keep sharp
lookout for the young man thus adver-
tised, but without success, at that time.
Last night a young man was arrested by
officer DIaskey for being drunk and dis
orderly. lie was certainly very drunk, and
had great deal to say about his having
been robbed Of some mOney. Upon being
registered at the police station, it was dis
covered that he was the n. NJ. Armand who
had left Atlanta under such damaging cir
cumstances. The news of
HIS ARREST
was telegraphed his brother in Atlanta, and
the following reply to said telegram was re-
ceived yesterday morning:
"CoNYERS, GA, Dec. 13.-W. IL. Va
ter, Captain Of Police.-After searching
carefully, if $40 is ali, give it to him and
turn him loose again.
-. H. AIMAND."
The young man was fined ten dollars yes
terday and sent to the Workhouse by Judge
Duling. In this seqliestered retreat lie was
visited by one of our reporters for the pur-
nose of learning something more concerning
| the robbery than is contained in the letter
to Capt. Yater He found him in the
| Workhouse Office, freely discussing the ''sit-
uation" and the circumstances attending
| his arrest.
| He stated to our reporter that he is tWen-
| ty wears of ace, and that he has been enl-
| pIoyed as clerk i'll his fathers store i'll At
| lanta since the war, and that the money be-
| longed to bis father, and not TO his brother.
| He was dressed in ordinary clothing, and
wore no collar. lie said he did not bring
much clothing with him, but that he las
| few things in a carpet-bag, and also an
Overcoat, which is now in possession OF
Capt. Yater. He is smooth faced, is not a
remarkably bright-looking youth, and has
evidently had but little experience in tray-
cling.
In answer to the questions asked by the
reporter, he told
HIS STORY
about as follows:

In answer to a question in regard to The

lie then proposed starting to Missouri
taking Alice Pennington with him. He
saws he received no salary from his father
as he is a minor. and felt that lie belong;
to him. It is said that he was very fre'
with his money while visiting the saloons
and that at one time he dropped a so goll
piece on the floor, and planked 500 bill
down on the counter. Under these cir
