|Y"' ""'e' I "ft'cMarS of TIE Charge
T against Him.
The arrest of Job III. jackson. of this
city, yesterday, by Sheriff Grubb. who
turned him over to the Sheriff of Fnlton
county, Georgia, Gas reported in late
edition of yesterdays GAzETTE,) contin-
ues to be topic of absorbing interest,
and variety of reasons for the arrest
are eagerly discussed upon the streets.
The arrest became generally known
early in the afternoon, hut on account of
the very few persons who knew the ma
ttire OF the accusation, and the extreme
reticence of these few, 1t was late in the
evening before any definite knowledge of
MT. Jackson's alleged offence could be
ascertained.
Yesterday afternoon a reporter of the
GAZETTE called upon Secretary of State
Grub and received the following par
ticulars:
On Tuesday morning Chas. w. Wells,
OF Atlanta, Ga., Sheriff of Fulton county,
called at Niddletown and served upon
Governor Cochran requisition from
Governor Colquitt, of Georgia, for the
arrest OF Job Ii. Jackson, of this city.
Gov. Cochran referred the subject to
Attorney General Pennington, who, after
examining the Constitution and laws of
the UDited States in their bearing upon
such cases, informed Governor Cochran
that 1t was his imperative duty to obey
the requisition, and issue warrant for
the rendition Of Job Fl. Jackson to the
authorities Of the State of Georgia.
The warrant was issued on Tuesday
evening, but as Mr.. Jackson was IN Bait
imore it was not served upon him until
yesterday. Sheriff Grubb served it.
Mr.. JACKSON Immediately obsyed the
warrant and started south on the 1928 ex-
press in company with Sheriff wells.
| In regard to the grounds of the arrest
and all other particulars, Secretary
Grubb referred the Reporter to Messrs.
Harrington & Hoffecker, Mr.. Jackson's
solicitors.
WHAT THG CHARGE is.
Amid the mass of rumors growing out
of the affair the following statement ap-
pears to be the most generally accepted
In the year 1870, when Bullock was
Governor OF Georgia, and E. N. Kimball
& Co. the general financial agents, the
jackson Il Sharpe Company constructed
for the Atlanta & Western railroad
| (Which was being constructed by the
State,) a first-class parlor car for the sum
of $4,000, receiving in payment there
for the sum of $4,000 cash and note
for $1,000 When the note came due it
was renewed by two other notes for
$4,000 and $4,000 respectively, which
were duly forwarded to Mr.. Jackson,
who also retained the first note. When
the two notes became due they were
paid in full by Messrs. Kimball & Co.,
on behalf of the State.
In 1872, after Governor Bullock and
Kimball had left the State, Jackson pro-
ceeded to Atlanta with the first note for
$1,000 in his possession, upon which he
demanded payment. He swore to its
genuiDeness and received the money fol
it, making the full amount paid for the
car reach $4,000.
The transaction, it is said, was only
recently discovered, the discovery being
due to the return of Kimball to the State
and his voluntary assistance TO the State
officials in unearthing and exposing the
many rascalities of the Bullock regime
Kimball, it is said, discovered the fac
that the $1,000 in notes had been twice
paid, and at once explained the whole
transaction and caused the proceeding
against Mr.. Jackson to be instituted.
Mr.. Jackson, accompanied by Sheriff
Wells, started south yesterday on th'
; 1.23 p. m. train.
ESCAPE AND RECAPTURE.
Sheriff Wells and Mr.. Jackson reachet
Washington about nine O'Clock last even
, ing, their arrival being noticed by som'
, , of the Wilmington excursionists. Mr.
/ Jackson, it is said, looked very mucl
worn and worried.
About ten o'clock last night Sherii
Grub5 received despatch from Sherii
! Wells stating that Mr.. Jackson had es
capped. ABOUT an hour later another de
spatch was received, stating that he ha'
been recaptured. + r~ 1t..=
