1,oxs Feb 23.-There Is now no longer any
aouht regarding the identity Of tho Central
hudson express robber. The question Is settled
dsNnitely by the father Of the prisoner. who
cow his son In Jail to- day. and positively iden-
,aed him. Contractor Perry saw his son with
nut being observed BY him. and was very much
sgected He had not seen him In seven years.
After Identifying him young Perry was brought
ant and the father and son were left alone. Mr.
Parry talked with his son for half an hour. and
vbsn he left the jail his eyes filled with tears.
There has been great pressure to SEQ the
prisoner. particularly by people living In the
county surrounding the locality where he was
saptured. Men generally were not allowed to
sea him, but the women were admitted. and
uere much interested in Perry. A wild West
train robper is IA novelty In this little place.
and people are making the most OF the incl
dent Before Perry is finally held for
tha he must meet several charges The
Central Hudson Railway Company will
charge him with stealing locomotive No.
ELL, with driving out the crew OF the
locomotive with his revolvers and blockading
the tracks. with intimidating employees and

at Henry Miller. and one on the charge OF
shooting at Caleb Cherry. the engineer OF the
express special. including the charge Of at
tempted robbery OF the express car. shooting
Messenger McInerny. stealing horses. &c.

Central Hudson Detective Lapointe Is an es-
pecia! object OF enmity on the part Of Perry.
He says that II he had obtained a good shot at
Lapointe. he would have killed him. Lapointe
was one OF the keepers In the House Of Refuge
when Perry was an inmate. and he has not for
