Capture Of Hut. Amarlne, the Murderer
of the Revenue Ohicer, John Coop

of the Revenue Ofhcer, John Coop
or, of Knoxville.
OF his arrest the Knoxville Chronicle,
of last Saturday, says: Hut. Amarine,
the outlaw of the mountains, who has
for years bid defiance to the United
States authorities, and carried on the
business of Illicit distilling in Blount
county with IMMUNITY, was arrested
Thursday morning by Capt. william
Freshour, Deputy Sheriff of that coun-
ty, aided by Charles Efler and James
and Stephen Razor. For more than
five months Mr.. Freshour has given
his entire time and attention to work
ing up the case, and he deserves no
little credit for the energy and tact
displayed throughout the dangerous
and difficult undertaking. After the
murder of John Cooper, Revenue Off
Ger, last summer, every n looked to
Freshour as the man of all others to
arrest and bring to justice the band of
outlaws who were suspected Of having
pcrpetrated the bloody crime. TO
boldly attack Amarine in his retreats
and capture him was us difficult and
uncertain as 10 have taken one of the
wild beasts that roam over the Oun
tain tops. Mr.. Frcshour knew that
the only certain way to capture him
through the cupidity of his associates.
Accordingly he arranged time and
again, with pretended friends of Am
arine, to betray him from his hiding
places, and secure his arrest.
Amarine was committed to Jail in
Maryviile. He stands indicted in the.
circuit court of BlOunt county for the
murder of John Cooper, and also for
malicious shooting. a reward If 5000
had been offered for his apprehension
5000 by Gov. Porter aud 500 by
