Iaw-Stolen Property Found on His
Person and Clews Left at His stopping
Place at St Louis - How He Wa.
Caught.
CHICAGO, Dec. 3l.-After weeks of hard
labor spent in following up slender clev :
the Pinkertons, in conjunction with Chic I
HaTigan, of st. Louis, and the police force
in that city, have run 10 earth and cap

senoer on the Frisco road at Glendale,
near st. Louis, On the night of Nov. 30.
His name is ALERT ID. Sly and he was ar
rested by Robert d. Pinkerton last week
nj Los Angeles, Cal, with large amount
of the stolen money in his possession
Had Tell-rsIo Watch with Him.
The watch he nad taken from the Adams
Express messen ger was in his pocket In
addition to these two daring crimes, Sly is
suspected of being the leader of the gang
that robbed the street car barns at Omaha,
Neb, in October the Metropolitan street
car barns in Kansas City in the same
month and the Pacific Express company
on the Missouri Pacific railroad. near
Omaha, Nov. 4. All these robberies were
committed under similar circumstances,
and in each instance dynamite was used
On the Trail of the suspect.
As soon as PmkertOn suspected that Sly
was mixed up il the robbery at Western
Union Junction he set about locating him.
and finally traced him to St Louis a few
days before the robbery at Glendale
PinkertOn then went to work with Harri-
gan to hunt hin down The first reliable
information tina Harrigan got concerning
the men was some days after the robbery
occurred, wien man who furnishes
houses on the instalment plan told the
chief that he had fitted mp a house for four
men and a WON'T n on Swan avenue in the
outskirts of st Louis. hut that the men
and the woman had suddenly disappeared,
leaving the furniture and everything be-
hind them. The man identified Sly as be-
ing one of the men from his picture

Chief Harrigal made an investigation,
and found that he woman in the case was
blonde, who was supposed to be the wife
of one Of the four men. and on searching
the house scraps OF paper which had been
taken from the express ear mt Glendale
were found The party had left the house
three days after he Glendale robbery. The
baggage was traced to the station. and it
was found 10y he checks that the owners
had gone west. The 1t. Louis police traced
them to Omaha There they separated,
taking different routes for the west. Ac-
curate descriptions of the men and women
were obtained and forwarded to san Fran

WESTERN END OF THE HUNT.
Robert a. Pinkerton Comes Up with 81,
at Los Angeles.

Robert a. Pinkrrton Comes Up with sly
at Los Angeles.
Robert A. Pinkerton was in California,
and was Immediately put on the qui vive.
and kept informed Robert Pinlerton con
cluded to wait for his man ut Los Angeles.
aud last Saturday, accompanied by a couple
of officers, he took up his station AT the
post Office. They all had photographs and
an accurate description Of the man. and
they did not have very LONG TO wait for
him. Early in the afternoon Robert Pink
erton saw a man closely resembling tie
picture of Sly that he had with him walk
into the postOfiice Pinkerton tapped the
stranger on the shoulder at the same time
taking hold of his hand as if to shake it..
but in reality TO prevent his reaching for a
revolver
What's In a Name Anyhow
"How do you 10, Mr. sly" said Pinker-
ton.
"You have the advantage of me. sir" re-
piled Sly. "My name is not Sly; it is
Denton
"Ah, that will do just as well, Mr.. Albert
Denton Sly; you are just the man want. ~
replied Pinkerton. for he was well aware
that the mans full name was Albert Dem
ton Sly.
Sly looked du mfounded, and at first
showed signs of resistance, but seeing the
two other officers close by and Pinkerton's
right hand beir g adjacent to his face he
gave in, though he made an effort to get
rid of the watch he carried.
.'Swag" Found on the Prisoner.
The prisoner was taken to the station
and searched, and about him were found
$1,000 and lot of personal property, while
the watch which he had attempted to'lose"
was none other han the watch he had
taken from Mulrtnnen, the express mes
senger he had robbed on the Frisco road
mt Glendale. Sly announced his intention of
making a fight for his liberty in the courts,
and refused to 90 back east without
being eXtradited. He was eventually per-
suaded to go TO SAN Francisco. and when
he arrived there lie announced his willing
ness to return 20 Missouri without any
further trouble. Sly. however, refused to
make any statement knowing that being
an ex-convict from the Missouri peniten-
tiary his next term of imprisonment, if
convicted will be for life.
