but give the rest of the article, entire:
The brieftelegram that appeared il
the Times Saturday morning. announcing
the arrest of Jas. G. Pusey in Cincinnati
was looked upon with suspicion BY
many, as all previous arrests had turned
out to be failures, but advices received
Saturday put all doubt at rest and there
wss no question but what the right mar
he'd been gathered in. 1t was rumoreG
that he would reach Leavenworth by
the 9:36 Missouri Pacific train Saturday
night and large number gathered al
the depot to witness his arrival, but they
we're disappointed, he did not materalize
but yesterday morning he did arrive
and the crowd was there to greet him
10 fact, the depot was filled, and when
was on the train, the crowd pushed and
jostled each other in frantic efforts ia
see him. 1t was generally understood
that he would be in the forward part Of
the train, and while the crowd was
pushing in that direction, he quietly
left the sleeping car. and entering car.
rage was driven rapidly to the county
Jail on Third street. As soon as it was
known that the carriage passing up
Cherokee street contained Pussy, large
number, principally boys and young men,
started on the run after the vehicle, but
they did not overtake it, and before they
reached the county institution he was
inside the walls, and they had to con-
tent themselves with hanging on the
fence and gazing at the barred windows.
AT THE COUNTY JAIL.
About l o'clock yesterday repre-
sentative of The Times called at the
county Jail and there met Detective
Jerry Gumberk, of Pittsburg, Pa, who
had escorted Pusey from that point to
Leavenworth. Mr.. Gumberk proved q
most afahle gentleman, and he is one of
the very few detectives that can he ap-
preached by q newspaper man without
having to listen to many blood curdling
tales of which he was the hero; neither
has he that mysterious we-never-sleep
kind of look, which is carried by the
average detective.
When asked how the capture of Pussy
was brought about, he said that some
time ago he received photograph of
him from Sheriff Keller. Regarding
the party who gave them the first
clue as to Pusey's whereabouts, he
was reticent, but in continuing
the conversation said they learned that
his parents resided in Altoona, Pa,
and that the latters father was foreman
of one of the railroad shops there. They
kept close watch of that point expecting
that the fugitive would in time drift to
that point, but in the mean time they
(Gumberk and O'Mara) learned that
Pusey was in Cincinnati and they then
commenced their search there, being
aided by this party, whose name Mr..
Gumberk refuses to disclose. He was
located Dy the officers, being in the en-
ploy of q contractor and doing manual
labor about number of buildings. On
Thursday evening Detective O'Mara
called at Pusey's boarding house and in
quired if there was man boarding there
by the name of James Walters"
He was informed that there was
but was told that he would not
be in to supper until half past
six. This conversation was carried on
with the landlady, and shortly after
O'Mara left the house and joined a
couple of Cincinnati detectives, who
were shadowing the place, the woman
left the house and started down the
street. She was followed, and q short
distance from her home entered cigar
store. One of the detectives followed
her in, and she called for Walters. He
was there, and she said something to
him, and he replied that he would go in
q minute, when the detective stepped up
and said: "You will go now and with
me-" When told what he was wanted
for he made no resistance, but accompa-
MED the officers to the station, apd that
evening O'Mara left with his prisoner
for Pittsburg.
At the latter city he was given chance
30 await the coming of a requisition from
Kansas, but declined and wrote the fol-
lowing:

Detective Gumberk also said that the
prisoner wrote q letter to Mrs. Devore,
telling her he had been arrested and re-
0uesting her to meet him in Leaven-
worth. He also wrote letter to his
mother and brother-in-law.
TALK WITH PUsEY.
At the conclusion of the conversation
with Mr.. Gumberk, Sheriff Keller was
asked If the prisoner could be seen and
he requested Tailor Ellis to escort Pusey
into the corridor that the reportorial
pump might be applied to him.
The TAILOR entered the cell house and
in few moments re-appeared with the
man whom the state of Kansas has been
wanting for some time. He was dressed
for warm weather, wearing white shirt
With . pink border, turned down low at
the front and gathered near. the waist
With heavy cords. His feet were en-
cased in q fashionably cut shoe;
his mustache had the same luxuriant

ahspely hand showed the effects

eared in, being calloused and scratched
