Tic Leader of tho Bandits who Have
Bccn Committing the Big Express
itobbcrics in tho West Caught up
at Last-.-Idcntitlcd by n Photograph
After Being Followed Across tho
Continent TO Los Angeles.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Dec. Gothic leader
OF the gang who robbed tho Adams ex-
press messenger NIulrcnnan on the
Frisco road ut Glendale, Il suburb OF st.
Louis, on tho night OF November 80. is
under arrest. A female accomplicc is
also in custody and the capture OF tho
remainder of tho gang seems only .
matter OF time. The leader turns out
to be Adclbert D. Sly, noted ox.con-
vict from tho Missouri penitcntiary.
Tho latest series OF exploits Sly OF and
his fellow bandits began with tho rob-
berry Of the street car barns ut Omaha
in October, in which they used dyna.
mite and secured a large amount OF
money. They committed a robbery on
the Metropolitan street cur barns in
Kansas City in the same month. and
then came the robbery Of the Pacific
Express Company on the Missouri rail
road near Omaha, on the night OF
Novembcr4, and the American Express
Company robbery near Western Union
junction on the night OF November 10.
In all OF these humorous robberies Sly
figured as the leader and their engine
OF war was almost invariably dynamite.
After the robbery at Western Union
Junction William A. Finkerton found
out that Sly, in 1883, was acting us
driver for the American Express Com
pany at st. Joseph, Mo-, and dcfaultcd
with package containing $4,000. lie
was arrested and sent to term OF seven
years in the Missouri penitentiary at
Jefferson City. On coming out, Sly be-
came acquainted with 4 gang Of rough
burglars who made their headquarters
around Kansas City and Omaha. On
the theory that Sly was possibly con
cerned in the robbery at Western Union
Junction, the Pinkcrtons quietly began
investigation towards locating Sly, and
succeeded in tracing him to California.
Mr.. Robert Pinkerton proceeded to
the coast and on the afternoon
OF Saturday lie observed man
in the postoilico at Los An
geles, who answered to the dcscrip-
tion OF Sly, and rcscmblcd an old pho
tograph which he had. Tapping him
on the shoulder. and stepping up and
taking his hand SO that he could not at
tempt to use gun, as Sly is desperate
character, Mr.. Pinkerton addressed him
by the namo Of Sly. Sly denied his
identity, and said his name was Denton.
He was at once taken into custody and
searched. In his possession was found
$1,000 and i lot. OF personal property,
and OH his person was found tho gold
watch taken from the messenger OF the
Adams Express company after he had
been injured by the explosion OF dyna-
mite at the robbery OF November 50, at
Glendale, NO.
Sly refused to make any statement
whatever, knowing full well that, being
an cx-convict in the Missouri teniten-
tiary, that this next Imprisonment, ii
convicted, means life.
