The two men who held up David Byers
at his hotel Sunday night we're captured
at Massillon yesterday. Marshal Gentry
had been to Orrville to look for Otto Har-
tie who is wanted here for stealing VIM.
Adler's coat. Hartle had been sent up
from Canton 18 months sgo for burglariz-
ing Santry & McGowan's store. He was
out or parole. Before the Marshal could
get to- Smithville where the man was stay
ing, a special officer arrived from the PEN
iteutiary and secured Hartle, taking him
back to serve out his time. Marshal Gentry
boarded the train and came back as far as
Massillon, stopping there to look for the
men who robbed Mr.. Byers. While talk
ing to Mayor Reed, Marshal Gentry was
informed that two men had been captur-
ed and their description was given. In
quires we're made andit wss found that
they were the identical chaps who were
wanted. The watch and chain were
found on the person OF the big fellow.
The pocket knife and some money were
also secured. David Byers accompanied by
his son Amos Byers and Mr.. Frank Wag-
ner drove over to identify the men. The
property was identified and there Is not
a shadow of a doubt but that the right
fellows are in the tolls.
HOW THEY WERE CAPTURED.
After robbing MIR. Byers the two fellows
took freight train west and stopped al
Massillon. At about o'clock they wen'
into Kessler's saloon near the depot and
ordered drinks and supper. After getting
all they desired they raised a row and re-
fused to pay. Kessler went to the dool
and blew his police whistle. Officer ErtlG
and Godfrey Myers were near at hand ant
succeeded in capturing the two men
Myers had hold of the big fellow who die
not offer much resistance. The smaller
man who is about feet
inches in height pulled his revolver
and snapped it twice at the officer
The revolver was loaded but for som'
reason refused to explode. The mel
were safely lodged in the city cooler, ant
will be brought here as soon as the charges
against them at Masssillon are disposed
of.
The larger man gave his name as Viii
Graham. He is n stranger In this vicinity
The little fellow 10 Frank NARROW, ALA
Morrison. Nearly Two years ago he wa
arrested by Marshal Gentry for vaIrancy
Three weeks later Officer Romy was ia
strumental in having him captured 70
breaking into Guertars house in Soutl
Cherry street. The grand jury failed
however, to return an indictment agains
him. Two weeks ago Marshal Hagan O
Massillon had him arrested at Wheeling
w. Va, for attempting to. outrage gir
at MassilIon. He was brought back bu
the girl failed to identify him. He vii
now get his just dues, Marshal Gentr
having filed an affidavit against bot
men for highway robbery.
From the desperate character OF tn
two villains it can readily be seen that
is we'll for Mr.. Byers that he offered n
resistance, as the men would not sto
short Of murder.
