from Reading and sent to that city. The third
member was found on BlackwelIs Island i'm
prisoned for stealing shoes and identified as
Jos. Boeckman. His sentence would expire on
the morning of February 18th. The detective
was on hand bright and early to receive him.
Boeckman, aware that he was wanted, upon
landing and seeing the detective, started on a
run, but was stopped by a big Newfoundland
dog near Schaefer's brewery, and held until the
detective secured him. The companions Of the

deposition filed by Gen. Shelley with these
letters he says that when he returned to this

referred to, Miss Horton came to his boarding.
house and wanted to know why he had not
come in response to her letters, and re-
tterated the charges made in them, and
told him that she had been In the hospital
and had had a miscarriage. She insisted on his
getting her place and doing something for her.

OF tried to inture her in any way. He denied
that his family and the Horizons were on the
