CRIMINAL MATTERS.
HUNTED DOWN.

AS the result of patient investigation
ploy, Vim. i. Salter and Wllmot II. Ward
were arrested at Washington, the charge
brought against them being that they had
cOnspired to steal bonds and plates from the
bureau OF engraving and had attempted to
bride the employees of said bureau to assist
them. The confessed purpose the conspir-
ators was not to counterfeit or make gains for
Themselves, but rather to effect the removal OF
Col. Irish, chief OF the bureau, by making 1t
appear that bis management was so loose and
inefficient as to render the stealing OF bonds
and plates an easy matter. The prisoners were
arraigned before United States Commissioner
Bundy, and after brief argument by counsel
they waived examination and were committed
to await the action Of the grand jury.

LYNCH LAW IN INDIANA.
A most exciting scene of mob vio-
lence occurred in Evanston, Ind, early on the
morning OF October 18th. Hume Redman,
who 30 brutalIy murdered his wife near Mt
Vernon, in Posey county, was taken to Evans

about o'clock in the morning) they dis.
mounted, picketed their animals, left guard
to cover their retreat, captured al citizens
who happened to be attracted to the scene,
while portion of the mob made dive for
the Jail. Kerth,an officer, fired at them but
they did not falter. They took him prisoner
and were into the jail yard in a jifiy. Two
blows were sufficient to break in the outside
door aud they were in the Jail hall. hewitt,
Martin and Tom Kerth, Jr., all officers, kept
up brisk IRE which was responded to by
the mob, who poured a fusllade through the
door. ChIsels and sedge. hammers were soon
brought, and willing hands went 10 work. In
twinking the Jail door was open. hewitt
ran back to Redman's cell and said to him:
II have done all Il could for you-they
will get you;'' and he replied: "Givs me
revolver, and will kill some OF
them" When the jail door was opened the
mob rushed through the corridor to Redman's
cell, and in minute 1t was opened and Red

with rope and led him out The officers all

and get assistance no as TO capture the mob, or
some OF them. hewitt managed TO get into
the sheriff's residence, and ran up stairs to
front window, which he opened and blew his
whistle, and then the mob followed him and
threw him down stairs. When he got up the
mob we're bringing Redman out CT the front
door. They were ordered TO halt, when their
leader replied: "We are from Posey county
and came after Rsdman, and We are going 10
have him." The alarm Of fire having been
given out in the city, the chemical engine came
no the street and struck the buggy into which
they had placed RedmaB, and overturned 1t.
This threw the mob into some disorder, when
one Of the leaders said, put him on horse
back but the order was countermanded
and orders were given to kill him on the spot.
One Of the band seized sledge hammer and
dealt Rsdman powerful blow on the head,
telling him to the ground. At this
