ALILA TRAIN ROBBERY.
ARREST OF A MAN WHO Sc
GREETED THE FUGITIVES.
He Says They VIII Surrender if the
Officers VIII Not Allow Them
to be Taken East.
Special to the REcoRp-uN1oN.

PASo RoBLES, Mar. 12.-Sheriffs O'Neal
and Kay, and Detective Smith, arrested
William Dalton here this evening in con-
nection with the attempted train robbery
at Alila.
After his arrest Dalton made some
damaging statements to the officers. He
admitted hiding "the boys" and finally
piloted them to a place of safety. He
said his reason for secreting them was
not on account of the Alila job, but be-
cause they were wanted East on a charge
of murder.
He made proposition to the officers
that if they would pledge themselves that
the boys" were only wanted for at
tempted train robbing, and that if they
would not be turned over to the Eastern
authorities, he would go to the h idin
place and notify the fugitives, and they
would, upon such assurance, come in and
surrender.
He further stated that he must, under
no circumstances, be shadowed; that if
he was he would kill the spy with his
Winchester.
The officers informed Dalton that one
OF them would go unarmed with him
and talk the matter over with the bows.
To this Dalton would not listen, giving

brought with him. He said the boys had
500 rounds of ammunition, and were the
best shots in the world.
Dalton will be taken to Visalia to-
morrow.

confident that the case will soon be
finished. The evidence they have ac-
cumulated is very positive in its char

they had in their work during the last six
weeks cleared the mystery surrounding
the Pixley and Goshen train robberies.
They would not, however, enter into de-
tails regarding the latter crimes, for the
reason that other arrests would be made,
and publicity might defeat the ends of
Justice.
