Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
TowNsENp, DEL, Nov. 20.
Time was wearing well on to II O'Clock
to-day when Constable Truman Rose re-
ceived the full requisitlon from the hands
of Secretary of State Grubb at New Castle
for the parties connected in the "Colo
Well" crime, and he is now on his way to
Annapolis to serve it upon Governor Car
roll. The cause Of this delay was owing to
the fact that there was some difficulty In
seeing the Secretary OF State, Everyth M
is completed and drawn up in due form
and the document safe In the constable's
pocket, and iu ..all probability the partlci>
pants in the crime will be on Delaware soil
by Monday or Tuesday at the farthest.
To-day, party consisting of Attoraey
General Pennington, DR.. Howard Ogle,
Constable Rose and several others, went
down upon the trains leaving Wilmington
about e'clsck. Here the party was added
to by Magistrate James G. Wilson, and they
drove over to the scene of the tragedy,
through the barrenous country.
The hut of Caulk, where lies the wound
ed darkey, Jones, is situated on the road
leading from Townsend west, and losing
itself away out toward Ssssafras, In Mary,
land. It Is g one story and attic structure,
like many in the neighborhood, rudely con
structed OF roughly hewn logs, with mud
daubed in between the crevices to keep out
the rain In summer and the cold IL winter.
It stands just back from the road little
distance, and is right on the edge of q
dense forrest. Inside the hut there is one
room, and only one. In the corner, upon .
rude cot, half lay and halt sat the wounded
man, contentsd, chewing quid Of tobacco.
