He is Ready for Any Desperate Deed that will
Give Him Death or LibertY-He Regrets
that He was Taken so Easily.
A BAD MAN,

MARQUETTE, MICH, Sept. 1.-HoIz-
hey, the Gogebec stage robber, was to-
day turned over to the sheriff of Gogebeo
county, who reached here this morning,
accompanied by strong posse and per-
sons whose presence was required for the
purpose of identifying the prisoner,
among the latter being the diver of the
stage coach that was held up when
Fleischbein was shot and robbed. The
Gogebec sheriff left with his prisoner on
the east bound South Shore train at $3.50
p. m. this evening. The prisoner was
sullen and defiant, his demeanor
showing him to be ready for
any desperate deed that would
give him -. death or liberty
If not securely kept there is danger that
he will yet effect his escape. When
she was brought to the station to take the
;tEaint there S&as an immense crowd
gathered thereto get a glimpse of him.
AS they crowded, about the officer who
had him in Charge the prisoner scowled
and said: elf had my guns and was
free you fellows would not be so anxious
to get close to m&s'' AZ
He refused to talk concerning his ex-
plot to any but Officers GLOBE and Weisle,
who captured him. but to these he made
a statement last night while they were
with HIM in jail, in which ne admitted
that he is the man who went
through the Minnesota and North
western train between Maple Val
ley and Ellis Junction last MAY
and the Wisconsin Central train in Aug
ust, besides having held up several stage
coaches in Northern Wisconsin during
the past six months, and committed
numerous other small robberiess II e WIS
at once recognized by the driver of the
GOgebec stage as the man who had halted
and fired on the stage, and he recOgniZed
the driver in turn. He rather facteops-
Iy inquired if he had been htirt
in the affray, and seemed pleased
to hear that he escaped uninjured.
but he did not evince any desire to talk
further with him concerning the tragedy.
The only regret that HOlzhey expresses
in connection with his criminal career is
that the two officers at Republic sue
ceeded in taking him SO easily, as he
says he was determined not to be taken
alive, and declares that if he had
the least inkling of their purpose
when they were approaching him
with such apparent uncOncern
as he was starting from the hotel ne
would have shot them down unhesitat-
ngly. The proof against HIM without
his admissions to the officers would be
complete, and, unless he escapes by
suicide or bold rush for freedom, he is
booked for life term in the state prison
at Marquette. There is no likelihood
that an attempt will be made to lynch
him on his arrival at Bessemer, though
he would have stood in a good deal of
danger had he been taken there immedi-
ately following the attack on the stage
and the killing of Fleischbein.
DANGER OF LYNCHING.
BEssENIER, MICH. Sept. 1.-Sheriff
Foley is expected to arrive from Mar
quette between l and O'Clock in the
morning with the train robber and high
wayman captured yesterday. The streets
and saloons are crowded tonight, and
there is much talk of lynching him be-
fore the stage, which meets the
train at North Bessemer, reaches
THE city. The crowd contains
many who have been drinking
heavily through the day and feel very
Rsly. No one will go to bed until the 4
prisoner is either safe in the county 5gail
or else dangling from some eoHYen1snS
Dough in the forest. u
