UNDERuILL DECIDEDLY WARY,
And Declines TO Talk About the Affair.

were traced to the town of Chester, in
lower Illinois, who're they we're serving a
term for burglary, aad while the only cor
rect history of tn circumstances which led
10 their detection will be found further on
in this article, it IS proper at this time to
pay a tribute to the detective skill
and ingenuity of Capt. Bresset
and the diplomacy of Mayor
O'Bsien in connecting the links which have
at length constituted the chain of evidence
which has fixed the crime upon them, and
which will in all probability result in
their conviction.
The trip from Chester was without espe-
cial Incident. The prisoners were shack
eled together and heavily ironed, ana &C
cording to the statement of Secretary
Armstrong they asked no questions after
leaving Chester, rot even making inquiry
as 10 where they were to be landed.
Upon the arrival of the train at the
Union depot the party we're met by the
patrol wagon, containing Chief Clark,
Sergeant Walsh and several other officers,
and the prisoners being put in the wagon
were taken directly to the county jail.
During tho DAY County Attorney Egan
applied 10 Judge Wilkin for bench war
rant fo5 their arrest, and it was issued by
Click OF tie Court Bell, this
formality being necessary in
view of their indictment.
L is the intention TO erraign them to-day,
and some unexpected incidents may be
developed. In connection with the arrest
the question of reward arises, the city hav-
ing offered $500 for the arrest and convic-
ton of the assass1ns at the time of the

STATE OF ILLINo1s, EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
SPRINGFIELD, Aug. II, 1883.
Hon. @. D. O'Brien, Mayor, ST. Paul,
| MINI, Dear sir: Your communication of
the 9th inst. enclosing petition for the
pardon of George Washington and Will
| liam Nelson now confined III the penlten-
tiary at Chester, ILL.,, is received.
The pardon of these men is asked in
order that they may be taken to Mime
sofa and tried for murder.
In reply I would say that I am not yet
convinced that should issue pardon to
these men for the purpose of having them
taken to ST. Paul for trial. They are in
prison IN this state on conviction of very
grave ofenses, and I have doubts both as
to my right and as to the good policy Of
pardoning these men who are known 20
be guilty of the crimes of which they are
convicted, in order to send them to another
state for trial on graver charges. In the
first place can find no precedent for such
action on the part of the executive of any
state. In the second place if you
will carefully read the opinion of the at
| torney general of Illinois upon this case
which was sent recently to Governor Hub
bard, you will discover that he arrives at
the conclusion, and I think he is correct,
that even an absolute or unconditional
pardon may be refused by these men in
the penitentiary, and it would therefore
be of no force. They may refuse to &C.
cept pardon for the purpose of going to
ST. Paul for trial and elect to remain IN

VIM. Underhill. After long hunt by our
officers, and a great expense to our city,
| these Lien have been discovered in the
southern penitentiary of your state, locsted
at Chester. Both of these men were tried
before you and we're convicted, one SEN
fenced for seven years and the other for
three. We are particularly anxious that
these men should be brought to this city
and tried for their crime, and from the
character of the testimony against them
we have, in our opinion, sufficient to cause

get them here upon requisition it will
be necessary tor US to procure pardon
| for them from Governor Hamilton, and to
this end special messenger was sent to

governor of this state. Governor Hanil
ton, after considering the matter for near
| " three weeks, concluded that he could not
pardon these men as it would be against
public policy, unless the statute of Illinois
! in regard to pardons was complied with,
and 30 advised this Office. He seemed
fully in sympathy with Us in our eff
| forts to bring these men to
justice for their great offense.
but as it was the first case of the kind
that had been before him, he did not feel
inclined to establish a precedent, at least
not until the statute had been complied
with.
Our grand jury convenes the latter part
of this month, and we shall have no trou-
BILE in having the men indicted, and it is
particularly desirable that we should have

Converted by lightning.

Upir in Huston county there is a
young man who has heretofore borne
the reputation OF being the wickedest
fellow in the section where he lived.
A very interesting revival took place
not long ago, and much interest was
manifested. One of the ministers ap-
preached the young man and asked
him if he had a Billie and he replied
negatively. The good man advised
him to buy one and take it home and
read it. He said he had no money to
throw away on Bibles. The minister
offered to give him one, and he re-
fused to take it. He went home and
repaired to his farm, While in the
field an angry rain cloud came, and
SOC vivid flashes of lightning began
to play around the neighborhood of
the wicked young man. Soon a bolt
came along and knocked him wind
ing over the COLI rows. The falling
rain drops on his face revived him
after a few minutes and he proceeded
toward the house, but just before en-
tering the gate he received another
shock which laid him PROSTATE and
helpless on the ground Reviving
again, he passed into the house and
related to his wife the ordeal he had
just passed through, and how neal
he had approached death. Next
day he went to town. bought a Bible,
attended church during the gracious
revival, and embraced religion. This
is one instance where a man got re-
