Charged with Being One OF the MUIR
derers of the Gibbons Family.

CIECrSSATI, O., June II.
A publication is just made here of the ar
rest on Monday afternoon at Columbus, O.,
of William Direly, negro, charged with the
murder of the Gibbons children at Ashland,
. KY, December "a, 1881. Fannie and Robbie
Gibbons and Emma Carico We're found dead
in their burning house. The girls had been
outraged. Three men were arrested
George Ellis, William Neal and Ellis Craft.
Ellis made a confession upon which he was
convicted and sentenced to be hung, but was
hung by mob. Neal and Craft were also
sentenced to be hung, and now await the de-
cisiOn of the Governor as to the day of exc
cution.
The arrest of Drely is upon a long trac-
cling of circrmstantial evidence in connec-
ton with statements made by Direly him.
self. Two other col0red men, Dabney
JONES' and Reuben Kendall, are implicated
by Direly, and warrants are out for their
arrest. A shrewd colored detective has
been employed for long time on
the case, and he claims to have had
statements from Direly, in the nature
of confession, which are corroborated
in several points by circumstantial evidence.
One of these is the finding OF bracelet be-
longing to one of the murdered girls i'll the
hands of colored woman, who says she re-
ceiyed it from Direly, and who says he told
her OF the murder, and that he found the
bracelet and some money and ring on the
floor. He gave the ring to another colored
woman, who also has made sworn state
ment that Direly told her it belonged to
one of the murdered girls. Dire
ly at the time of the murder
was employed in a brick-yard near the Glib
bons house, Dabney Jones was then employed
in Norton's Iron Works near by, and both
Direly and Jones boarded in a shanty near
the river bank with two colored women, one
of whom received the ring from Direly.
Almost Immediately after the murder Direly
left Ashland and was hidden for long
time; he was then heard of at Portsmouth,
o., and was finally traced to Columbus, o.,
where the arrest was made.
ASHLAND, KY, June IA.
People here regard the arrest of the three
negroes for the Gibbons outrage and murder
as a hoax. The best citizens say it is
simply a last desperate effort to save Crafts
neck. The arrest causes no excitement
here, people considering it no more impor-
tant than other negro arrests by detectives
in the same case. One of the prisoners is at
Catlettsburg, but his presence causes no ex-
element. Dabney Jones formerly lived
here, but was not suspected of the crime.

GENERAL CROOK

Returns from His Campaign Into Mexico
After the Hostile Indtans-Details of the
March-The Principal Chiefs, Excepting
Juh. Captured, Together With Many
Others.
TUCSON, A. T., June IL.
A courier arrived at Tombstone last night
from Crooks headquarters, atSilver Creek,
A. T., bringing the first official information
of Crooks expedition. 1t left American
soil on the Sd of May, marching 200 miles
southeast from San Bernardino, on the
boundary line of chihuahua and Sonora,
following the trail of the hostiles. Crook
was guided by the Apache Nadoski who
was captured near San Carlos, just previ-
GUS to the expedition. Leaving at a point
about 200 miles south of the line the COM
,mand crossed the Sierra Madre range, adj
vancing fifty miles back on an indescriba-
IDLY rough trail, eight mules being killed by
falling over precipices, and pressed on with.
out delay and rendered nearly barefoot by
the sharp rocks. After fourteen days hard
marching night and day, the Indian camps
sof Chato and Bonito were discovered in the
heart Of the Sierra Madres, in an almost
impregnable position. The Apaches did
not dream of an attack, for entrance to the
trenches was next to impossible. The war
riors were principally out on a raid under
Juh, only thirty bucks being in camp
with the women and children. The San
Carlos scouts, under Capt. Crawford and
Lieutenants Atwood and Mackey, with
AL Seball, Mcintosh and Mickey Free,
chiefs of the scouts, surrounded the camp
before the hostiles were aware of their
proximity and advanced from different
points and were near before they were dis
covered. The scouts secreted themselves
behind the rocks and commenced firing
upon the camp, creating perfect panic.
A number succeeded in escaping, though
nearly all surrendered. Seven were found
dead in camp. Five Mexican women and
a little girl were recaptured. They were
taken from Carmen to Chihuahua, and are
with Crook in good health. Everything in
the camp was burned or carried off by the
scouts. Among the property captured
were 100 ponies and mules, forty being
loaded with plumber, saddles, girdles,
clothes, gold and silver watches and sew
eral thousand dollars in gold, silver and
greenbacks, showing they had been very
successful in their raids. After the fight
most of those who escaped came in. Alto
gether 3S3 prisoners were taken. The
chiefs captured were Chato, Bonito, Ger
onimo Nachez, Loco and Mana. The two
latter were long reported dead. The chiefs
say an American boy, six years old, cap
tured a month ago in New Mexico, is with
the squaws in the mountains. He is, no
doubt, Charlie McComas.
