NEW YORK, May 3l.-A Sun special from
Quebec to night Says John G. Emo, the New
York defaulter, was arrested at this port this
morning on board the outward bound Dominion
steamship Vancouver. He had taken his passage
in Montreal for Liverpool under the name of Mar
shall and camo down from Montreal on board
the vessel. which anchored in the stream oppo-
site the city about o'clock on Friday afternoon.
He was travelling alone, and had secured one of
the best berths in the steamship. He slept on
board all night, and the vessel was about leav-
ing this morning, when, shortly before 10 o'clock,
the police steam launch put off with High Con
stable Bsonette, and New York detective,
who boarded the vessel ostensbly in search of
Hinckley. the runaway paying teller of the West
Side Bank. Tho high constable, however held
a warrant for Emo, issued by Judge Desnoyer,
of Montreal. The prisoner made no attempt to
deny his identity, and came quietly ashore
with the captors He was subsequently taken
before the police magistrate who gave an order
for his removal to Montreal, where the warrant
was issued.
In the meantime Emo had secured counsel and
he had barely been removed to the Richeleu
boat, en- route for Montreal, when an order was
issued by the courts here for his detention, and
he was taken off the boat and to the St. Louis
Hotel under surveillance Of the police. At Z
o'clock this evening he was brought before Judge
Tessier, of the Queens Bench, on an application
of his counsel asking for his discharge on the
grounds that was guilty of no offense of which
our courts could take cognizance. They heard
the application, but postponed giving any order
in the matter until Monday morning In the
meantime Emo remains in the St Louis Hotel,
in charge of the high constable of this city and
couple of policemen.
He takes his arrest quite coolly. He says he
is the victim of an outrage, alleging that he
has committed no crime. and only wanted
time to repay the few millions he was short
in his accounts. AS TO his escape from his
house, he says that ne went up through the sky
light and onto the roof, and walked over roofs of
adjacent houses until he reached the residence
of his lawyer when he get into that gentlemans
house, took a cab at the door and caught an out
going train, coming on to Montreal. where he So
cured passage on the Vancouver as above men
toned.
1t seems that the lighting on Emo this morn
ing an incident Of the hunt for Hinckley,
and it moro by good luck than by guidance
that the detectives dropped on Emo. There
seems doubt that Hinckley also has been here,
and probably intended going by the same
steamer, but somehow got wind of what was go
ing on, and departed just in time to save being
arrested. Eno's counsel thinks he can not be
detained in custody on the charge he has been
arrested on. and is confident of his liberation on
Monday. Emo seems to be of the same opinion,
and threatens prosecution against the constables
and detectives.
