Cams said he had known Mr.. Withers
Eve years. having met him through his
uncle. David Dunham Withers. the cele-
bratcd turfmLan. The prisoner declared
he had often loaned Mr.. WithCrs small
amounts, such as so and siO or 500. and
had always ben promptly repaid. lie as
serted that he had never seen Parker
but once, and that was when he went
hack TO the hotel with Mr.. Withers. after
having learned that he had been dupcd.
lie told OF how the fakir slipped away
from himself and the Gloucester man,
aging that he chased Parker to the cor
ner OF Governor and Franklin streets,
where the assayist boarded an electric-oar.
Caps says he called the swindler on the
car. and that Parker showed fight and he
(Capps) LETT him and met Sergeant Alex
ander Tomlinson on the street. and told
that oiiic what had happened.
He said he did not know where McLeon
was, but stated hat he saw him IN Nor
folk on Sunday night. and supposed he
was stu there. He said, in conclusion,
that h. would have come TO Richmond
to-day anyhow. and had ne known he was
wanted in this case H. would never have
gone away
WHY HE WAS ARRESTED.
The police were very reticcnt last night
ms 20 why the arrest Of Capps and Nc
Lean was desired. In fact none of them
except Chief Poe. VINO had the warrant
issued, and Sergeant Tomiinson knew any
thing about il. Major Poe simply sent
the warrant up to Captain ANGLE with
the statement that Caps had been ar
rested at his request. and would be here
on the evening train.
It has been an open secret ever since
the brick swindle that Mr.. Withers lost
q considerable sum Of money last Thurs
day night IN n Richmond farO-bank. The
gambling fraternity has been very much
stirred up about the matter. and have
feared both raids and exposure. 1t will
Dee seen that Caps admits having staked
or loaned Withers 5000. and that they
were at play together. 1t would not be
hard t. ascertain whore as well as how
this none was lost.
Ii has not yet developed whether or
not the authorities really expect to con-
rect the sporting men with the brick
er- rli. N' such charge has been entered
against them.
