Detective True entered the city trium-
phantly yesterday, on the 500 train, with
Dyer and Malcom. the horse thieves. as
prisoners. Officers Choats, Lord, Anderson
and varney were in waiting. and the two
men, whose feet and hands were manacled
together were escorted to the rooms of the
Detective Agency, over the Post Office, q
large and excited crowd following a. far -
they were allowed. which was just outside
the Detective's locked door and the center
Of affairs. Here hearing was had before
Judge Spear, with Attorney +. +. Besne ~
Al =. h..
nothing but hearsay testimon the counsel
asked that the prisoners be discharged. The
Court feeling justified in taking q different
course, bound them over to the December
term of the Superior Court, under $4,000
bonds each, which being unable to furnish
they were carried to the Augusta jail to
await trial. The story Of the capture 10
somewhat thrilling. The prisoners were
found in a log cabin on q mountains side
near Bryant's Pond, within 20 miles of the
Canada line. O;iicer Maddox had hard set
to with Dyer. the taller and more powerfully
built prisoner Of the two, and shots were
fired, without effect. Not only were the
thieves secured. but also the mare, and On
Ger Maddox is expected to reach here this
noon with her. The appearance Of the pris.
oners is not in their favor. Both are appar-
emily hardened. Dyer stands over six feet
and is strongly built; Malcolm ia short, with
a hardened, but not as vicious face. A glance
shows at once which is the ruling spirit.
Much credit 10 due Detective True and Mar
shall Maddox in the tact and perseverance
they have shown. and the City 10 reasonably
proud TO own two ssgacious Off .ers.
