been enptied. One of the men re-
ceived a small shot through the
thumb. In securing him they used
every means ut command, and i'm the
melee the wooden stock of his pistol
was partly broken off and the barrel
bent. 1t has not been ascertained vet
whether the negro was fatally injured
by the shot, but it is thought that he
was not.
At noon, on Monday, the prisoner
arrived and was placed in the County
Jail. His appearance does not indi-
cate that he IS such a desperate, but
one thing is certain-the peo, le i'm the
region of his accustomed travels are re-
,joicing now that he is captured, He is
a man five feet and ten inches high,
broad shoulders, light brown hair,
sandy whiskers, broad across the fore
head. and with a quick, piercing eye.
His forehead is high. and the top of his
head is rather flat. He is either Scotch
or Irish by birth, and maintains deep
silence when questioned in relation to
hi. career or his motives for leading
such Il life. The unfortunate man (t0r
he must he unfortunate whatever his
position in the world of crime) has
bee n the subject of much severe criti-
cism. The surmises with regard to
the crime he has committed, which has
banished him from society, are umer-
Gus. and, SO far as we have heard, not
one has been charitable enough to give
him the benefit of lunacy as cause for
his strange manner of life. That he is
not insane on general principles is evil
dent, for he has the sayacity to keep his
mouth shut, except to very ordinary
questions.
Large numbers of our citizens have
visited the prison TO see him, expect
ing, no doubt, to see something not in
the ordinary shape Of the human
form-something furious. uncomely
and altogether strange. But there he
sits with legs crossed, new suit of
clothes, garments of which he was al
most destitute when captured, and
with eyes swollen and black from the
severe handling he received in the des-
perate effort to get free. When YOU
visit him he gives you one searching
look, and then resumes his downcast,
medita,ive position.
