The old adage that murder will
out" had another exemplificatior
this week. After nearly twenty
seven years Ellis Young of Jackson
township was arrested on Monday
night for the murder of Lieutenant
Robinson in July 1864. Our Older
readers are perfectly familiar with
the circumstances. But for the
benefit of some of our young
er ones we will briefly state them.
Lieut.. Robinson with a squad ol
soldiers started out on Saturday
night for the purpose of arresting
deserters and those who had been
drafted but failed to respond. When
passing along the highway near the
residence of Peter Laubach decd
on Raven Creek, they heard some
men approaching and Robinson
stepped out and called upon them to
halt. His request was answered by
volly from three guns in the hands
of the halted party. One load took
effect upon Robinson who fell mort
ally wounded. His comrades were
surprised and somewhat thrown in
to confusion. They Immediately
went to Robinsons relief and the
firing party ran down the road and
escaped. The wounded Lieutenant
was carried to Peter Laubach's and
the next day taken across to Luzerne
county where he died at the resi-
dence of A. n. Harvey. There was
great deal of excitement OCCASION
ed by this foul murder but the of
ticials of Columbia county never
made any effort to seek out and ar
rest the perpetrators. Time has
dragged its weary pace along until
at last, the brothers OF the murdered
officer have succeeded in gathering
sufficient evidence to warrant them
in moving in the matter of avenging
their brothers death, Lieut.. Robin
son was q gallant officer in the 7th.
Pa. Reserves and brother of the
present Sheriff and Deputy of Lu-
zerne county. A warrant was
sworn out at Wilkes-Barre and on
Monday evening the officers came
to Bloomsbury and were driven to
Jackson twp, by r. @. Buckalew,
(who by the way was one of Robin
sons squad when he was shot) and
to the home of Ellis Young who was
arrested while in bed. He was
brought to Bloomsbury and lodged
in jail about four o'clock on Tues.
day morning for safe keeping. The
officers took their prisoner to Wilkes
Barre on the 1857 train on Tuesday
where he had preliminary hearing
and was committed to jail to await
the action OF the grand jury which
will take place in Luzerne county
Tuesday the Tth day of April. A
number of witnesses from Columbia
county were taken along to Wilkes
Barre to appear before the magis-
trate at the hearing. 1t is reported
that Miner Smith one of the party
who was with Young at the time of
the shooting has sihce died, but we
are info rmed by parties that he is
alive and living in Bradford county.
1t should be source of congratu-
lation not only to the prosecution
but also to Young to know that the
trial will not take place at Blooms
burg where all the angry passions
and prejudice of the war period
would likely to be re-kindled by a re :
Cital Of these stirring events. The
cause of Justice would not be as well
subserved by a trial here. Young
is a prosperous farmer, aged about
80 years, and has wife and one son.
