lice officers in ell the towns up here had
been furnished with description OF the
robber. and when he entered the RepublJ
he was sc oncs placed under surveillance
on the suspicion that he was the mau
wanted for the murder and robbery. The
Bessemer authorities we're telegra pied TO
for further information, but up to an
early hUur this morning no response was
received from them. Marshal Glade re,
solved not to await word from them, and
tomake the arrest being fearful that if
he della ed any longer the man might es-

Among the pocB etboOks found on Holz-

IL was some time before H0zhRy
would admit his name, but finally, when
confronted by the evidence of his own
pocket book, acknowledged his identity.
He s'ubbornly refused to say that he had
committed other robberies than those OF
Ellis Junction and At Gogebc, but after
much Gross examination said: "I5 is
done them all, and / think that is So"
de then entered into a detailed state

was an interesting one.
