BEHIND THE BARS.
Charles Tuesdale Arrested by
Orler of
The Chief of Police of Cleye-
land for Grand Larceny.

Saturday the officers received tel
egram from the Chief of Police of
Cleveland, Ohio, requesting them to
arrest and hold Charles Tuesdale who
is wanted there for grand larceny
At the postoffice they learned that
Tuesdale's wife arrived here three
weeks ago and was stopping at the
home of Salina Grant, a colored
woman. The woman had a little girl
with her, but never appeared on the
streets.
The officers watched the house and
this morning were rewarded by seeing
a stranger hastily approach and as he
stepped upon the porch he was met
and warmly embraced by the woman
and child. They concluded that he
was the man they wanted
and placed him under
arrest. In the meantime, two other
men giving their names as Cobbelin
and Sam Steinhardt were found some
distance off waiting for Tuesdale's re-
turn. They admitted that they had
been his travelling companions.
They were arrested and the entire par
ty taken directly before the police
court. which was then in session.
A brief investigation showed that
Steinhardt was not properly partner
Of the two other men and he was re-
leased after the court had reminded
him of the old story about dog Tray.
The other man claimed that bis case
was also analogous to that of dog Tray
but the court thought different and he
was locked up with Tuesdale to await
word from Cleveland.
Tuesdale had beautiful new gold
watch, fine chain and several valuable
seal rings and the other man a new
chain and two rings similar to those
In possession of Tuesdale. They had
but small amount of money on their
person.
Further investigation of the Tues
dale family was made to-day and it is
possible that something rather start.
ling will be developed. Tuesdale and
wife are both apparently white, but
they claim that Mr.. Tuesdale is rel
alive of the colored woman, Mrs.
Grant. Their child is beautiful lit
tie girl and like its parents does not
show a single trace of negro blood.
They claim that Mrs. Tuesdale has not
received any goods or packages by
express or otherwise since she has been
here, but the officers find a record of
two heavy valises which was delivered
to her. 1t is supposed that they con-
tanned the stolen goods the Cleveland
authorities are after.
Yesterday after Tuesdale and Zeb.
blen, the men wanted at Cleveland,
we're arrested, Marshal Prentice mott
fed the Cleveland authorities. They |
and desired to know whether |
any of the stolen goods had been re-
covered and whether the men would |
come without requisition. As the
,fficers here have not had any de-
cription of the stolen goods, they do
lot know whether any of the articles
ound in the grips now in Tuesdale's
are stolen, and a second
telegram was sent requesting informa-
ion in that particular, but no answer
las been received. The grips con.
aimed bolt of factory goods, eighteen
ilk handkerchiefs, a pair of new shoes
nd a number of other articles, but
lot enough to justify the arrest of the
'arties for grand larceny. They may
ave, however, secreted or sold tie
foods elsewhere.
The chief of police of Cleveland an
wered Marshal Prentis' telegram at
loon to-day giving a description of
he goods stolen. The articles found
n Tuesdale's possession are named in
he list of stolen goods. An officer
Fill be here for the prisoners as soon
S a reuuisitiOn can be obtained.
