Our readers were no doubt nearly all ap.

| summer and the CAPTURE of the band by our
| heroic, efficient and astute detective officer,
| MIR. Steve Mead: how, after the first robbery
had been committed, Mr.. Mead joined the
| robbing band and effected tho capture and
| subsequent imprisonment Of that desperate
crowd. Mr.. Mead yesterday RECALLED US
with an account of the leader of the band,
| who was captured short time ago. The
| story is as follows:
After having jagged the gang, was call

another case in San Francisco, received D.

carefully, and the furtive glances he shot at
me made me wish that had remained at

treated me kindly and politely, but would
answer no questions. His manner i'm

while in the midst of courteous speech,
he leaped upon me in my chair. and hurled
me backward to the floor, with his knees
upon my breast and his hands tightly
ciutched about my throat with an embrace
like an iron wise. It was the most desper-

almost superhuman effort. It was long
