Tracking Down a Criminal after Ten
Years.

The Easton maryland Star of last week
makes an interesting recapitulation of the
trial OF Charles Jefferson, who was convicted
at the late term of the Talbot County Court
of the robbery of the house of Richard Day
in st. Michael's in 1865. The Star saws:
The robbery ofDay was one of those mys-
FERROUS affairs which baffled the ingenuity of
our county officials and the Baltimore detec-
lives employed to bring tho guilty parties TO
justice. Mr.. Day was miser, and had hoard
ed in his house large amount of money
some two thousand dollars-in coin Whilst
engaged at his store late at night his house
was burglarioasly entered and robbed No
clue, at the time, could be found to the rob.
berry. But strange to say, it was known to
at least eight or ten people in and about St.
Michaels, who concealed their knowledge of il
from the Grand Jury and officers of the law.
After the murder of Ford last summer, and
the arrest of Charles Jefferson on suspicion of
his having committed the crime Mr.. Gibson
eXerted his ingenuity to put together the
fragments of facts that came into his possess
sion from time to time with view to make
n chain of circumstances upon which to base
prosecution, there being little doubt from
all the surrounding circumstances that JefTer.
son was the murderer of Ford. But so secret
ly had the deed been done, and every trace,
OF inc crlihe covered up, the Gfand jury,
after the most diligent inquiry, failed to find
sufficient evidence against him to warrant
them in indicting him. But while making
the investigation some of the witnesses let
drop some facts which connected Jefferson
with the Day robbery. Mr. Gibson being
present, his quick eye seized upon them on
the instant, and under his advice the Grand
Jury dropped the Ford business and gave
their attention to the Day affair 1t was not
long before all the facts respecting the Day
robbery were brought to light, and Jefferson
proved to have been one of the principals
in committing that bold and mysterious
crime, by some of the parties concerned turn
ing States evidence. Jefferson was indicted
and tried before jury, but the jury failing to
agree, were discharged by the court. After the
jury was discharged Jeiiersons counsel elect
ed to dispense with n jury and make the Sc.
cond trial before the court. Upon rehearing
of the case the court found Jefferson guilty
and sentenced him to four years in the State
| Penitentiary. Jefferson was only about
eighteen years old when he committed the
robbery, and if reports are true, he is much
worse man to-day than he was in 1865
| Whether he murdered Ford or not is un.
known, but there is no doubt that he assist
ed in the robbery of Richard Day, and al.
| though justice has been delayed, it has at
last found him out and melted to him desery.
cd and ignominious punishment.
