A. Wiley, Of New Orleans, alias ]. Q.
Martin. OF New Mexico, the stranger AZ
rested here Wednesday night by Officer
John Shorts few hours after dispatch
had been received from New Orleans
stalIug that he was wanted there for for
gerry, Is OF present resting in the county
isil, as o fugitive from justice, in default
Of 1850 bail. His attorney, Mr.. John
O. Pendleton, last evening pro-
cured q writ OF hsbess corpus before
Judge Boyd, which ia made re-
turrsble tomorrow afternoon at
2 o'clock. It is probable that by that
time more will DO known about the sua'
picions individual, as dispatch was re-
ceiysi here lSst evening from Detective
Morris OF NeT Orleans, the one who cent
nut the description by which Wiley was
ST,eSted, stating that he was 10 leave New
Oyleans for hero last night and would get
hare an soon s. posslble. He will likely
srriys here Saturday morning, and be
present to take hand in the ha6eas cor

OF Police Court, Wiley was taken trom
Central Station to Justice Davis office by
f1ficer Shorts and Sheriff Hsndlan, where
Se wsg remanded to jail by the Justice as
fugitive from Justice, on complaint Of
sheriff Handlan. Wiley asked for sD Rtr
tIorney, and Mr.. Hsnd!an sent Mr.. Pen
dleton to him. To him Wiley Ia
renortsd to have stated that he
vac a fugitive from bis vile and
family, now OF Houston, Texas, but that
hn y6s not q fugitive on soCount oil any
Iorgery. 40 stated IN Morris dispatch, or
anv other crime. He stated farther that
he had kept the GermRnia hotel at Hous.
ton. hut firing OF that locality started
North on q prospecting trip, intending to
return for hiu iSmily.at.er he had again set
tied. He assigned no reason, however, iof
registering ct the St. Charles hotel under
an assumed name.
A dispatch was sent to Detective Nor
ris, notifying him OF the arrest coon after
| It wss made. Nothing was heard from
him till about l o'clock yesterday after:
moon, when a telegram was received
stating that Wiley had forged the name oil
Wiley Smith, Of Austin, Texas, and se'
cured 5000 beloDgingto family OF orphan
!Cbildren. The dispatch ststed that no re-
ward visa olered for Wiley arrestand that
1.-The detectives services we're purely vol
Iuntory. Morris ssked that the man be
arrested. Not understanding apparently
that the man was already under arrest,
another dispatch was sent to him and last
NIGHT word vas received that he would
come GA. Tho police think that Morris
lstatemsnt that the msn Is only wanted fol
forging a name that involved but 5000 q
little thin, especially as he sdds that there
is no reward offered and that
his efforts to spprehend the man
Ihaye been purely voluntary. They be-
l!eye that the man is wanted for some
thing b tx end that there is q good
reward somewhere. Naturally they are
anxious that Shorts should have his share.
Unless Morris has had the foresight to
bring reQuibition papers along with him,
1t will be some tina before he can have
his prisoner.
Last night Nav Orleans paper was
placed in Mr.. Pendleton's hands contain
Ing an account OF the mysterious disappear
snce Of this same A. Wiley. He had left
home ostarslbly on hunting trip, but as
nothing had been heard OF him it
was feared by his friends that he
had been foully dealt with 1t was stated
further that his family was very much
asitated over hin disappearance. There
was nothing in that article about any
forgery. There ia q mystery about the
case somewhere that will probably be de-
veloped in dGy or two.
