HIM AFTER MANY DAYS.
There are other crimes that, like murder,
will out. The following from the Detroit
Free Press is a case in point: There is no
truer axiom than that the way OF the trans
gressor is hard. Men may transgrsss the
law and escape the consequences Of their
crimes for years, but let them cover their
misdeeds never SO deep the DAY ofreck oning
is Inevitable. Even such day has come to
the man who, taking advantage of his
position as teacher, debauched a mum.
Der of young girls and fed to escape
crimes deserved. The main circumstances
OF this sickening affair are no doubt fresh in
the recollection of many readers OF the Free
Press, but a brief review OF the facts will
serve to recall the case more fully. Some
thing like a year and a half ago a man
teacher in Warren, Macomb county, and
while thus engaged he was discovered to
have outraged fourteen of his female
pupils, all of tender age, and chill
dren Of people living in the immediate
vicinity of the school. When exposure be-
came imminent Alden fed, and, although
be was traced to Detroit, no further clue TO
his whereabouts We're discovered for long
time. Some months later it was rumOred
that he had been seen in Canada, but if any
effort was made to secure his arrest it fai ed,
and public interest in the matter grew
dull IS the months went by.
Last fall young man named KaltZ, "A
brother of one of Alden's victims, was
hired to work in a lumber camp in the
north woods, and remained t>ere all win 81.
A few days ago he came out OF the woods on
his way home, and stopped at West Branch.
| Upon entering saloon in West Branch
KaltZ saw Alden among the persons seated
st table serenely smoking q pipe. The
schOolmaster did not recognize ksltZ, a fact
which the latter was not slow to discover
! lie was at first tempted TO
BRAIN HIM or THE SPOT,
bat a moments consideration convinced
him that the legal way would be- the wiser
way, and he resolved TO effect his capture by
regular process. He learned by inquiry
that Alden had assumed the name of Smith,
and that be was likely to remain at West
Branch, fsncying himself secure in that re-
mote place. KsltZ accordingly went to Mt.
Clemens, swcre out warrant and placed it
in the hands of Sheriff Hathaway.
Kalsz and the sheriff then went
20 West Branch and arrested
Alden on Thursday last. When first taken
| he appeared to be wholly unconcerned but
when the sheriff undertook TO handcuff him
! he made some show of resistance. 1t availed
MIN nothing, however, aud after the irons
were secured he turned to Kaltz with an
Osth and said, "If / had these off I'd rip your
CUTS OUT The sheriff and Kaltz with
their prisoner came down over
the Detroit & Bay City road
yesterday and took the evening train on the
| Grand Trunk at the Detroit 6 Milwaukee
Junction for Mt. Clemens, and il is pre-
sumsd Alden lodged in Jail there last
night. The prisoner stoutly denies the
charge against him, and even denies that he
Is Alden; but Kaliz declares that he can not
i DO mistaken, as he knew Alden well, and
that be could swear the prisoner is the iden-
tical sehOOlm2ster In question. A reward of
$500 was offered some time ago for his cap
ture, but that seems to have had no influence
upon KaltZ. Indeed. while on the train, his
passion got the better of bis prudence and he
| Jew at the prisoner as though he would IN
nihilate him then and there. So violent was
his rage, and so determined did be seem to
be to wresk bloody vengeance upon the
man, that the sheriff was forced TO appeal TO
the train hands for assistance in projecting
his prisoner. Kaltz was accordingly re-
moved to the baggage car and locked in un-
I'll the train reached the Junction.
