Owing to the fact Of their being sus'
pected and some knowledge Of their
movements being thus foreshadowed, il
was determined to bring matters to a
crisis. Therefore. on yesterday, the
arrests above referred to we're made,
while it is said several more are yet to
be apprehended. Some of the parties
may be innocent, but there is we'll
grounded reason to believe that when the
truth is known several heretofore re-
garded as above suspicion will be
branded with the disgraceful stigma OF
the ielon.
From a gentleman who arrived here
from Columbus, KY. yesterday, a re-
porter of the American ascertained that
thirteen of the burglars who have been
operating of late in West Tennessee,
Western Kentucky, and Southern Illinois
and Indiana, are now held in custody at
Arlington, Ky, and that another one,
who was reported to be at Columbus, had
been sent after. All were undergoing a
preliminary examination. They are said
to be the gang who recently blew open a
safe at Union City and robbed 1t OF
$1,000, and who, in the same town, car
ried another safe out into the street aud
attempted to blow il open, but failed ia
consequence of a combination lock. At
Vienna, ILL.,, they worked a whole night
at a burglar.proof safe, owned by Balm
4 Jackson, who had $4,000 belonging to
themselves, TO the county and to citizens,
il having been used as q place of deposit.
They had worked their way through two
doors and would have gotten through the
third door had not daylight made its ap-
p~earsnce.
The Usion City Chronicle, of yester-
day, has the following in reference to the
operations OF the burglars in that place;
Information reached this city that the
burglars who went through" Stanfeld
& Evans safe were arrested at Airing.
ton, Monday evening There we're nine
in the crowd, and all have been arrested
except two. Their names are as follows:
Two Baily brothers, Willie Wright, Thos.
Picket, James Glenn, Alb Sane, James
Hartsfeld, bud" Swayne and Linn
Jones. The two latter named made
their escape. The arrests we're effected
through one A. M. Williams. After re
turning to Arlington from their pilgrim
age to Union City, this body, in order to
get Willisms to join them, told all their
secrets, all they did here, and how much
money they got, etc. After being put in
possession of the whole details, Williams
" squealed" on them and at once secured
their arrest, except the two last named.
This band followed the business as a
profession, having robbed several coun-
try stores in that part of the country
prior to visiting this city.
All arrangements had been made to
rob another store Monday night, but their
anticipatiOus we're blasted.
