Lewis was found in the forward day coach
and taken into custody.
PICKET was IN BED
in the sleeper and declhed to eet up, but q
little forcible persuasidn changed his mind,
and he was soon landed on the floor in his
night clothes. Jeifties evidently took
warning and jumped from the train at the
coal yard, and was csptured at Spring Hill,
at $50 O'Clock. Picket was very loud in

insisted that his name was Freeman, but
when he was landed in Jail he admitted
that his name was Picket, and there was
much documentary evidence ON him
to substantiate the fact. He had
on his person 5000 in coin, two gold
watches, five or six railroad annual passes

taken until Thursday. He said he did not

to pay attorney Walsh $50 to prosecute
the case to a finish, and had paid him $50
on account. When they were leaving

money, and not getting it, declared that he
would have them all arrested-Pickert
