Yesterday afternoon, at the close of the in
quest on the body of Frank Hahn, the supposed
murderer, Henry Young, alias .'Charles Will
liams," was taken to Gardner's photograph
gallery, on the avenue, las was stated In TIL
STAR to have his picture taken. The prisoner
was escorted by Detective McDevitt, Lieut.
Skippon and Sergeant Clayton. A large and
excited crowd followed them and doubtless
had there been half q chance, an attempt
would have been made to lynch him, as one OF
the party carried
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ROPE.
The officers resorted to stratagem in getting
the prisoner away from the gallery. Sergeant
Clayton procured a carriage, which was sta
toned on ID street, and the prisoner was quietly
taken out the back way, placed in the coach,
and driven to headquarters, while the crowd
were waiting for him to come out by the ave-
nue. entrance. There was quite q crowd in
waiting at police headquarters when the hack
containing the prisoner arrived. But little
time was spent here, and in q few minutes tn e
prisoner, in custody of Detectives McDevitt
and Miller, and Officer Burns, was taken to the
jail through the City Hall park, and lodged in
a strong cell. There was considerable excite
ment in the crowd, but no attempts were made
TO rescue the prisoner.
RECOGNIZED AS AN OLD OFFENDER.
The prisoner arrived at the Jail about four
O'Clock, and was recognized by the guards there
as an old offender who had served out a term of
six months, ending June 18th last, for the lar
eeny of $40; and several terms before that date.
He was taken into the hall and thoroughly
searched, but nothing was found on his person
and in a few moments he was removed to the rst
cell on the first floor, right corridor, where leg
irons were placed on him, and he was left there
the cell door being thrown open. About ten
minutes afterwards the deputy, Mr.. Russ, went
in and found
THE NOTORIOUS TOM WRIGHT,
who occupies the third cell of the same corri-
dor. sitting with him on the bench, and they
were earnestly talking together. Mr.. r. asked
.I D0 you know TINS MANI II and Wright an
fore in my life." This was spoken in such a
manner as to leave the impression that Tom
was telling lie; and, besides, they were talking
met for the first time. wright also said to Mr..
Russ and Capt. Croker: 81 understand that
three or four more are to be here on this
know about it?'' Wright with knowing shake
it than you do"
Quite a large crowd gathered about the Jail
when the prisoner was taken in, and there was
some excitement.
YOUNG AND WRIGHT BELIEVED TO BE OLD
PALS.
The guards at the Jail are pretty well satisfied
that Wright and Young have been long known
to each other, and that they have been partners
in crime; and, indeed, the two murders have a
singular resemblance, both being committed for
money. The jailOrsdo not credit the statement
made by Wright that he witnessed jenkins
execution, nor the statement of Young that he
witnessed the execution of Manley, on Friday
last, at Alexandria, and believe that the latter
makes the assertion for the purpose of strength
ening his general statement that he was in Alex
andria all last week. AS before stated the
prisoner is what is
KNOWN AT THE JAIL AS GOLD FISH,"
ian old offender,) and the guards recollect that
during his last term he frequently complained
of rheumatism, which they thought was feigned
for the purpose of getting into the transfer de-
partment, IN which he would have had better
quarters and better opportunity to escape had
he been so minded
ENTITLED TO CREDIT.
Among the officers entitled to credit in the
search for the murderer of Frank Hahn and who
labored early and late to that end are Lieuten-
ant Gesstord, of the first precinct, and Sergeant
Larrabee, Silas Lewis and W. III. Brelsford of
his force, who made most of the arrests OF the
notorious characters in the alleys of South
Washington, some eight or ten, under the direc-
ton OF Lieutenant GessfOrd; also, Officer Thos
Auidridge, Of the fifth precinct who aided the
detectives in their duties.
The first information, which led directly to
the arrest, was given To Lieutenant SkippOn by
messenger sent by Mr.. Carrow, the tavern
keeper at jackson city. This messenger gave
considerable hesitation, as he stated, feeling
somewhat tmid as to the consequences which
might follow by
ROUsING THE INDIGNATIoN OF THE RouGps
He said that he had been to the station house
earlier in the day, and walked past it several
times, and then went away, but finally con-
cIuutu W teii what ne nad oeen sent 10 cOmmu-
nicate. On receiving this information Lieuten-
ant Skippon started at once to Headquarters
and communicated what had been told him to
Major Richards, who at once put his detectives
on the trail.
DISCHARGE OF SUSPECTED PARTIES.

Few days in connection with this A.sair have

IN Alexandria up TO the time he was taken to
the central guard honsa, %sc.. ha rot separated
from him by the crowd and has not been seen

and could not be induced to leave.
