from D. H. Hazkell, Chief of Police of San
Jose. When arrested Castle attempted to
shut himself up in his state-room on board

so by the officers, whenhe quietly submitted,
saying that he had been expecting it, anil
that there was but one way for him to get
oat of it, He walked up to the Jail door
with the officers, Mr. Stein on his right and
Chief Barry on the left of him. At the
Jail Mr.. Stein stepped in front o. the pris-
oner to unlock the door, when Castle step
ped back pace, and drew revolver out of
his pocket, or out of his sleeve, and instant
ly threw his hand toward his head and shot
himself so quickly that officer Barry was
powerless to prevent it, and the man fell
dead at his feet. The ball entered the right
