The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1877-11-30
Rande in Galesburg.

Sheriff Berggrens. Of Galesburg. and
Detective Thomas Hennesy. of st, Louis. |
They were accompanied by T. o. Cunning
ham, Of Peoria, and number of st. Louis
reporters. The prisoner, although he
was defiant as usual, offered no resistance,
and there was no trouble on the way from
outsiders. The trip was quite uneventful.
The party left st. Louis Tuesday evening
and arrived in GalesbuFg Wednesday. It
is possible that there will be a quarrel
about the reward, as the ST. Louis police
are claiming it.
The grand jury on Wednesday found
two indictments for murder against the
prisoner. He was taken into court and
had counsel appointed to defend him. He
maintained an air of bravado throughout.
A special dispatch to the st. Louis Re
publican, from Galesburg, dated Wednes-
day, gives the following account Of Rande's
arrival there:
Contrary to expectation, there was but
q very small crowd at the depot, and it
was very quiet crowd at that. No ar
rangements to place the prisoner in a
vehicle had been deemed necessary, and
notwithstanding bis crippled condition he
was allowed to walk all the way from the
depot to the jail, distance of six or eight
blocks. Surrounded by his guards he
hobEled along, chained to Sheriff Hitch
cock, his face wearing the scowl habitual
to it when he desires to produce an effect
or show his temper, He kept up his shoW
of pluck we'll enough, but he nevertheless
travelled as fast as he knew how and was
probably glad to reach the Jail gate. He
was taken 10, searched and formally de.
livered by Sheriff Hitchcock into the hands
of Sheriff Berggren. Sheriff Hitchcock
Superintendent Kimsey, States Attorney
Kellogg and Deputy Sheriff Gill of Peoria
county, then Immediately took the train
for Peoria, Detective HenEessy, of St
Louis, going with them. Rande was
. ASSIGNED A CELL
Ion the ground floor tier, and lay down di
rectly, feeling tired and sore after his long
trip. He looked sleepy and worn out, but
rolled off bis mattress and came to the
door on the announcement of visitors, willing
as ever to talk. He only seemed anxious
that the newspapers should not charge hin
6 with failing 10 courage, something it woulC
be hard to do truthfully,
At ii o'clock q number of ellison people
who had participated in the hunt through
$ the corn-feld on the day Mr. Belden wa
y killed, arrived on the train, and visited tn,
jail for the purpose of identifying tn,
prisoner. Among them was James Pick
rell, who was wounded in the leg on tha
, occasion by a bullet from the revolver 0
the escaping thief; D. H. Perkins, Jos
; Cramer and Peter Lacy were three other:
of the party, and McKown, who was sho
: through the lung, and who had already
Y identified him in st. Louis. Pickrell says
he
SAW THE MAN
Distinctly five different times and identified
, Rande positively. Cramer is one of til,
t men who scared the fugitive up in thu
woods before he took to the eorn6eld
! He is positive Rande is the man. Perkin
had fair sight of him at seventy-fve yard
/, and is also positive. Lacy saw him a
seventy-fve yards distance but does no
{ positively identify Rande as the man
though he declares him to be the RICH
size, figure, etc
e At 4 o'clock this afternoon the indict
a meut having been presented to court
r Rande was asked if he was ready to pleat
to the indictment. He replieds that h
was quite willing, He was accordingl
II taken into court. Notwithstanding til
O bitter feeling that prevails against him
e not the slightest indignity was offered o
the route. Arriving in court, the prisone
was presented with copy of the indict
ment TO read. The clerk called the cas-
n No. 258 on the docket, state against Fran
p Rande alias Frank Durand charged wit
! murder. Judge Smith, turning to tn
= prisoner, said:
a There is an indictment of murde
against you, Have you counsel7"
10 The court room was crowded to its nj
most capacity, and at this moment all eye

that he had no property that he could con

te Mr.. Price said that the duty involve
