THEY IRE AFTER MARsH.
Said to Have Been seen In Chester Mon
day Morning.

CHESTER, Pa. May 25-An important
statement as to the latest movements OF
the much-sought-for Gideon c. Marsh was
made tonight by A. jackson, young col
ored man who is a boon companion OF
Charley Wallace the colored hostler at the
Highland House
Jackson says Wallace told him positively
that Marsh left that house this morning
Just at daylight, alone, when he was be-
ginning his work in the stable.
wALLAcE's STORY,
Wallace's story was that the man he has
always known rs MIR. Gideon Marsh
rapidly skirted across the lawn beneath
the trees and disappeared behind the bluff
leading to the road going south
When did Wallace tell You this?' Jack
son was asked
~ was with him this afternoon taking a
drive III Miss Creth's carriage when he
told me-
Are you sure he didn't get Mr.. Gideon
Marsh mixed up with his brother?'t
Yes, I'm sure, because although Wal
lace amt well read and didn't know about
the reward till told him, he knew all
about Mr.. Marsh hidingaway from people,
and called him the fugitive Marsh?6
Wallace was hunted forhigh and low to-
night, but could not be found, but Jack
son is a well-educated and steady man
A careful search Of the Brazilian
steamer Advance at Newport News bv
l'ranklin's detective, United States Marshal
Marshall and james K. Jones, one of the
bondsmen, failed TO find Marsh. II is the
general impression that he has not at
tempted 70 leave the country but is in
hiding in the vicinity of Philadelphia.
There are some who think that he is in
one of the near by New Jersey villages,
where relatives live in convenient places
for hiding him.
The Hyland House at Thurlow, where
II was thought he might be and where his
wife is, has not been searched, and the
United states authorities do not know
whether or not Marsh is hiding in one of
rs rooms, There was a good deal Of SUR
prise yesterday over the sl0wness of the
authorities in taking ont a search warrant
FOR this purpose and many openly express
the opinion that it looked as though a
great effort was being made not to have
Marsh brought back.

mlssioners met this morning and affirmed
the appointment made by Governor Patti
son Of w. Redwood Wright to be the sue
