belonging to local assembly No lO740.
These two men were arrested at their homes
early this morning.
A reporter by accident got into the room
where Reed was confined in the Union de-
pot, and his curiosity being aroused he
listened intently for half an hour to the
questioning o Reed by Chief Pinkerton
and Detective Humphreys. From the stray
words which reached his ears it is evident
that the arrests were made on ac-
count o; Information given by
Reed. Suspicion was attached to
Reed rom the fact that he had
been very prominent In East Albany in his
hostility to the Pinkerton men there. When
the wreck occurred, OF course Reeds name
was one of those OH the list which Pinker-
ton had kept OF the men most prominent in
Their hostility to the operation OF the road.
A detective was put upon his track, and
learned that Reec had disappeared from his
former haunts in East Albany Thursday,
whence all trace OF him was lost. From

the detectives were led to believe Reed was
in II on, and telegraphed Detective Bry-
ant to that effect. Bryant secured his man
in house of doubtful character at mid
night Saturday, and SO thoroughly fright
ened Reed that he consented to come to Al
bany without warrant and explain mat
tiers. Reed has not been arrested. but was
and still is ia the custody o. Chief Pinker-
