A LONG CHASE.
Identification Of the Prlsoner--A Warning
to Evll.DOers lack Cruise, After a
Lengthy Cruise Over the Coun.
try, is Quietly Nlpped,

The numerous readers OF The HER
AID are doubtless familiar with the
details Of the bold robbery OF the mes.
senger OF the Texas Express Company,
In this city, last fall and the subse.
quent pursuit Of the robbers. The rob
berry attracted almost universal atten-
ton for It's bolduess anl daring, rival.
Ing ms II did the boldest aud most
reckless deeds Of the notorious Youn-
ger or James Brothers.
About six o'clock on the morning Of
September rs, 1874, the express agent,
Mr., w. X, Cornish, while returning
from the Central depot to the Office, In
one of the companys wagons, was
halted on Commerce street, near Cam
eron's lumber yard, by two men, who,
pointing their glitterlng aud deadly
rifles at the heads Of Mr.. Cornish aud
the driver, demanded the surrender of
all valuables in their possession. I'M
armed resistance was useless, and the
messengers satchel containing
large sum OF money and valuables,
was turned over to the villains, who
hastily decanped. The alarm was ut
once given, and parties of OIL
GERS and citizens started in every
direction in pursuit. The trail was
struck in several places and diligently
followed up, only to end in failure.
The pursuers returned 10 the city
from their unsuccessful chase, but the
pursuit was not given up. With that
tenacious doggedness characteristic of
the great express companies, and
which Is born Of them who ''treasure
up n wrong" the pursuit was quietly
though none the less persistently kept
up, and was rewarded, yesterday, by
the capture OF one of the parties, who
turns out to be the notorious Jack |
Cruise. 1t was generally thought at
the time of the robbery that the bold
perpetrators of the deed were
John Wesley Hardin and Jim
Taylor, gentlemen not entirely
unknown In the lawless and
criminal acts that have dlsgraced the
State Of Texas during the past two
years, but 1t proves otherwise, as Will |
be seen by the sub Joined special dis
patch received last evenidg, and those |
two Knights of the revolver and bowie
knife, will have one sin less to answer
for than has generally been attributed
to them:
Special to The Dallas HeralJl
FORT WORTH, May l7.-Express
Agent Cornish arrived here to-day
and identified Jack Cruise, who was ar
rested Monday, as one Of the two men
who robbed the Texas Express Com
pany in Dallas last fall. The prisoner
has been taken to Dallas.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE cross.
examination OF Seeley by Judge VIII
son, for Morey, while II developed no
important contradiction, showed more
definitely how absolutely under HE
control Morey had Deputy Marshal
Seeley and Major Head, who com-
manded the military. Head was o
Captain, and Major by brevet, and
Seeley arranged with Morey at Heads

Governor Kellogg was referred TO
the Attorney General by the Presi-
dent In regard to military aid In keep
Ing the peace in Louisiana. The At.
torney General gave Kellogg TO I'M
derstand that such aid rs WAS In ac-
cordance with law would be given,
and none other. ."
The investigation Of Morey, member
OF Congress from Louisiana, was re-
sumed to-day, and Major Seeley was
cross, oxamined. He stated that there
was defalcation between eleven and
thirteen thousand dollars In the New
Orleans postofllce, and that the em-
ployes Ind to make up the deficiency.
Witness declined to answer the In
quiry az TO whether he was guilty of
crimes or not, on the grounds that no
or others would be criminated thereby,
and charged that Morey had tried to
get him into the penitentiary to clear
himself. Morey's counsel tried to
show up Seeley's bad character. See
ley admitted that he got railroad
passes us Splagent OF the postoflice
after his term had expired. He re-
iterated the charge that the Republi.
cans had tried to intimidate him from
making exposures, aud threatened to
send him to the penitentinry. hl,W g4li'
Governor Kellogg, Of Louisiana, had
a long interview with the Attorney
General to-day, during which he re-
cited the troubles that had occurred In
Louisiana 80 far as he has been advised
Of them, and expressed great anxiety
that some arrangement should be-
made by which the authorities OF that
State would be able to overcome din
culties which might hereafter arise.
The Attorney General was unable to
give any further assurance than that
circumstances OF such o character as
he (Kellogg) referred 10 must be taken
as they arise, and no general plan Of
meeting them could be arranged; that
whatever can be lawfully done under
the Constitution and laws viii be
done; but Judge Pierrepont said that
outside OF authority therin invested he
had no advice to give. Governor
KeIlog, previous 10 his Interview with
Attorney General, had an interview
with the President, who referred him
to the law officer Of the Government.
