Frank Back-General Condemnation of
Suspends the Chisf of Police for Mix
ing In.
The city slept over the matter of Samuel
Franks arrest by Chicago sheriff, and woke
up. yesterday, to find everybody very mad
about it.
SO mad that the word Outrage was as CUR
rent as gold has been since resumption day.
So mad, that cuss words were as plentiful as
sunshine So mad, that many got in a con-
demning way and punched the Governor and
sll others touched with the affair in heap,
and proclaimed them anath emas, or something
else just as horrid.
In fact, without bit of draught on fancy,
the arrest of Samuel Frank, in the manner in
which it accomplished, produced pro-
found-the sensation of yesterday. Rumors
prevailed the previous day, and
of certainty, it was known he was arrested.
But yesterday, when the correct account of the
entire transaction was gotten with all the de-
tails from the reliable medium for 'the dis
semination of news" the GLOBE, the utmost
indignation was expressed. Granted that
Frank had defrauded, etc, the prevalent spirit
for fair play revolted at the manner in which a
law-officer had adopted to bring Frank face to
face with his offense.
Apparently there wasn't much of a case
against him, or the officer Burke, the Illinois
sherfD would have not so expeditiously spirit
ed away his prisoner. The papers might be
regular enough, but the proceedings under the
papers were seemingly irregular.
THE ARREST, HOW MADE.
A sheriff walks into mans house. Tells
him he's his prisoner Orders him to put on
his coat. Gives him no opportunity to COM
muncate with his family. Conducts him to
the door. Places him in carriage. Bang,
goes the door, and away goes the carriage and
occupants.
An anxious wife with eager inquiries is given
an evasive answer. Apparently something
very wrong about such affair. And very
quickly public opinion classified the arrest as
kidnapping; and coupled with this term the
emphatic qualification of "outrageous.''
After getting up to this proper pitch of in
dignation, the public wanted to know what
was going te be done about it. The GLOBE
made it a business to learn, and gives answer
to the public clamor for information.
THE ARREST WHAT'S BEEN DONE ABOUT IT.
Samuel Frank was spirited away as stated
In Fridays GLOBE. It was sudden raid upon
from it and carried off. No friend was made
acquainted with the maneuvre; no intimation
given to any one. The wife didn't aud
couldn't appreciate the situation. Thus the
citizen deprived of his liberty was prevented
from getting a hearing. Whispered accounts
to the story. And thus accidentally, the fact
Of the arrest nn9 the departure for Chicago by
an unusual route became banded piece OF
news. 1t got around to W.
D. Cornish, Franks lawyer He
got SO much the arrest. But he didn't know
yuha ha; 1r\ bad &o1-, AL.
interest in the matter, and found out that
Frank had been taken TO Hudson. Mr.. Cornish
advised with Davis, O'Brien & Wilson, and the
conclusion reached that.immediate pursuit
should be given to the Illinois sheriff and his
prisoner.
THE ARREST, HOW IT WAS UPSET.
Now the train for Chicago passes Hudson al
TAO o'clock P. NJ. Burke, the sheriff, left this
city for Hudson about IL O'Clock. Mr.. Cornish
got the word 'go' at 4:30 o'clock F. II.
Gould he make the distance in time to catch
Burke, the sheriff, and his prisoner before
o'clock2
He secured fast horse and just did that very
same thing.
This was the condition of affairs when St.
Paul commenced getting mad yesterday morn
ing; ~,
found his man, both Of 'em in fact. He went
to work in the usual legal way and soon put a
stop to any prospective journey to Chicago fol-
that night. Then he sent back word of prog.
Iess.
Yesterday morning writ of habeas corpus
was sworn out and the Wisconsin authorities
took in hand captor and captive.
Franks interests and chances for freedom
began to assume the complexion of dayli& bit.
Later in the day Mr.. Wilson, of the law firm OF
Davis, 'Breu & Wilson, was summoned to
Hudson. He went.

in the case. Burke, the sheriff,
made call on Chicago. Leopold Bros.
d Co., the instigators of the above
peculiar arrest, put themselves in communica-
ton with their attorney here. In consequence,
Mr.. Clough, of the firm of Gilman, Clough &
Lane, went over to Hudson yesterday to recon
hotter. In the afternoon he was followed by
Mr.. E. G. Rogers.
THE ARREST, FRIENDS TO THE RESCUE.
Meanwhile there was considerable sideshow
business transpiring in st. Paul. Mr.. G. D..
O'Brien visited the Governor on behalf of
Frank. Representations were made that
the requisltion, fair enough on it's face, was
worthy OF an inspection. That the inspection
showed decided lrregularity in that the
requisition showed the commission of NJ crime
frank, to be sure, was accused of obtaining
goods under false pretenses but there was no
evidence Of the existing fact of az intended
traud. Furthermore, the accused had not been
indicted. If a warrant for his original arrest
had been issued-there was no evidence of It
it was on complaint before justice of the
peace, only. Efforts were made 10 induce Gov.
Pillsbury to reconsider his action and revoke
his warrant.
For time he seemed so disposed.
Attorney General Wilson didn't favor the
proposition, and the Governor deferred to him.
THE ARREST, HOW AUTHORITY WAS OBTAINED TO
MAKE 1T.
While this story is airing itself in the cor
ridors of the capitol, it is just as well to tell
when and how the State warrant for the arrest
obtained.
Deputy Sheriff Burke put in an appearance
and made claim about $50 o'clock A. NJ. The
requisition was honored and the State warrant
given him at 10 o'clock A. NJ
