Vicksburg Herald.

| Vicksburg Herald
a few days ago a telegram was received
IN this city, announcing that Clark A. q
NeWnan, a former express agent at Can
| ton, Miss, had aosconded from that Mace
taxing with him certain funds belonging Il
tine Express company. Detective E. d
Richardson informed us at the time. thai
Newman had been in this city the dav be.
lore the telegram was received, and il was
supposed that he had taken passage ON one
OF the steamboats, for some point up the
river. Day before yesterday another tele-
gram was received at police HEADQUARTERS
announcing that Newman had come down
the river on one of the packets from Yazoo
City, but the steamer had been herr
some time before the telegram had
been received. However, Officers Bur
ton and Met ANN set about IA search for
the fugitive from justice, and after patrol
ing the city all day and night. finally con
cluded that be had gone across the river.
ana 50 early yesterday morning they started
for Delta. Quietly and cautiously they
proceeded until they discovered in the CITY
over the river a neatly dressed young man
OF good appearance, who answered to the
description OF Newman, and when they ap-
preached him he seemed to realize that they
were officers IN search Of him. and his coun-
tenance plainly indicated that he was the
costed him, Newman endeavered to conceal
his identity, and when they were about to
arrest him, he demanded their authority
Officers Burton and Mccain had provided
against thing of this sort, being aceompa-
MED by a Deputy Sheriff of Madison Parish,
to whom the prisoner was handed, ard re-
qucstcd him to confine the prisoner in the
parish Jail. When Newman was taken down
to the prison and had inspected it, he con-
cluded he would rather come to Vicksburg
and be imprisoned here and therefore con-
scented to come with the officers with
out waiting for the formality of a
requisition. He was therefore brought
over and lodged in the station-house to
await warrant from Madison county, in
which his offence was committed.
Newman Is a man of good appearance, APP
parently well educated and of good family,
and his statement is that the money which
he misappropriated amounted to only about
$4O0. lie says he became associated with a
number of young men whose extravagances
led him into extravaganza, and when he came
to balance his accounts with the Express
Company, he found he was short about the
amount specified. He says his offence
amounts to nothing more than a breach of
trust, and nothing more can be made of it.
When he first spoke of it to his friends some
of them advised him to go away, and he
very foolishly did so. He regretted it after
wards, but having once started, he did not
have the moral courage to go back and face
his employers and his friends, with guilt
hanging over him.
Newman will remain in prison here until
a warrant arrives from Canton, and he will
then 90 there to stand his trial.
