then immediately took the train for Pc.

going with them. Rande WA assigned q
cell on the ground floor tier, and lay
down directly, feeling tired and sore after
his long trip. He looked sleepy and worn
out, but rolled of his mattress and came
10 the door on the announcement Of Wis.
itors, willing as ever 10 talk. He only
seemed anxious that the newspapers
should not charge him with failing in
courage, something II would he hard 10
do truthfully. ALL o'clock \ number Of
Gibson people, who had participated
in the hunt through the corn field
on the day Mr.. Beldsn was killed,
arrived on the train and visited the
jail for the purpose OF Identi.

leg on that occasion by a bullet from the
revolver Of the escaping thief. D. H.

were three others Of the party, and Nc.
KeoWn, who was shot through the lung,
and who bad already identified him in
St. Louis. Pickerell says he saw the man
distinctly Eve different times, and identi-
fed Rande positively. Cramer is one Of
the men who scared the. fugitive up in the
woods before he took to the corn field.
He is positive Rande Ia the man. Per-
kinS had a fair sight Of him at seventy
five yards, and is also positive. Lacy saw
him at seventy-6Ve yards distance, but
does not positively identity Rande as the
man, though be declares him to be Of the
right size, figure, etc.
At the depot in st. Louis, before the
starting Of the train, Rande continued
his braggadocio to the last, talking in.
Cessantly TO the crowd while being con-
veyed 10 the car. Being placed in = seat,
he put his head out of the window, and
said TO the mob:
"You fellows must be good boys, and
keep out OF the Penitentiary. I'm in 4
hell Of tx, but guess III come ont all
right. I'm sorry to leave you, but you've
got seoundrels here id sight worse

One man in the crowd said: 81 guess
you won't have chance TO kill any more
policemen"
Another said: "When they get you
over to Galesburg you'll know how il is

Another said: They'll give you a
hempen cravat when you get to Gilson.p
Rande laughed at these hostile sugves.

and whip this crowd"
One man said: "Why, Rande, you ain'l
a bad looking man."
"Why, uo,n replied the outlaw, "there

Though there was a crowd of 400 or
500 people at the depot, there was no
