When they were asked what important
4 -. ln4xsg homo and
travel such distance TO the depot, in such
weather and over such roads, Lynch quick
Ia produced postal-card from his mother
telling him of her sickness and urging him
10 come 81 once 10 Baltimore, her home.
The sheriff then asked them il they hadany
money with them, and they told him that
they had not. The sheriff then again asked
Lynch il either he or his wife had any
money with them. and told him TO think
we'll before he answered, and TO be posi-
tive. Acain he denied that either he OF his
wife had any money with them. Mrs.
Lynch was then strictly searched. When
the women that were appointed TO search
her Ind about finished they said that there
,yas no money about Mrs. Lynch's person.
"Noy. then. YOU see, f." said She, "fOr your
selves. am glad you searched me-" just
then. however. one Of the women began to
examine her hair, which was somewhat
suspicious. when she drew back, insisting
ON their not taking her hair down, and as
4 surfing them that nothing was in 1t. The
4 women persisted. however. and took down
her hair. and found in it $3.50.
An this time MIR. Lynch was i'm another
q room. strictly guarded, ana knew nothing
q of what was going on. He seemed TO be
i'm line spirits. and, for most OF the night
playcd dominocs with those that guarded
him. When told, however, that money
had been found in his wIie's hair, his whole
cOuntenancc and manner at once changed
though be said lac had put the money there
for safekeeping, a.. once when he wa
coming from Baltimore, he was robbed OF
his money. Lynch and his wife have no
been allowed 10 see each other since earl!
last night. He has been growing more anC
more Respondent all day, and when th'
sheriff took him to Jail this afternoon h
wept.
~ The case will be brought before Magis
fratc BroadduS Friday.
Lynch j. about twenty-five years Of age
tall, gcutcel. and gcntlemanly -looking
man. His wife is about eighteen, with q
kindly and somewhat pretty face. They
have been married about one month. She
i the niece Of the gentleman that was
robbed.
The evidence is entirely circumstantial,
but j. said 10 be Of the most conclusive
character our people have little dOdbt OF
che guilt Of Lynch and his wife. ADGER.
