HORSEY CAPTURED.

After Jumping $4,000 Bail He is Ar
rested In Philadelphia by Two Detec-
tives.
Andrew J. Horsey the veteran policy
player and hacker and who was to have
been arraigned before the superior court
on number of those charges but
jumped his bail, which amounted to
$4,000, was arrested by Detectives Haw-
kins and Hatton in Philadelphia this
morning
1t viii be remembered that Horsey left
town last Wednesday Just previous to
the time looked for his trial. The detec-
tives were at once put on his track.
They located him in Philadelphia, and
armed with "bail peace they went to
Philadelphia this morning when they ar
rested him. Horsey was at Water and
Chestnut streets, when the detectives
confronted him and was very much sur
prised.
At first he refused to accompany the
detectives, stating that the bail peace
was insufficient 60 cause his arrest but
he was soon hustled to the station and
brought here. He also stated that a
requisitiOn would have to be secured to
bring him here but as the document
held by the detectives could bring a
prisoner from any state without requi-
sition being obtained, Horsey was com
pelled to come.
He was locked up in the police station
where he is unable TO secure bail His
cases will come up at the next term OF
