SACRAMENTO July 26.-Brady was
captured at 80 this morning while hid
Ing under bridge near CouItland. He
had shotgun stolen from the Wells. Far
go messenger in the train robbery near
Nheatland when Sheriff Bogard was
killed. He is now in cell at the county
Jail here.
The capture OF Jack Brady, bandit. mur
derer and farmers boy, near Sacramento
naturally created quite sensation in
Sacramento and large crowds of people
were In and about Sheriff Johnson $
Office all afternoon hoping for chance
to see the notorious criminal. But few
persons had their desires gratifed how
ever, for after Detective Thacker OF the
Wells-Fargu company appeared upon the
scene he put stop to any further free
exhibition. If he had permitted it Brady
would have spun off yard after yard Of
stories about himself, for he is considera-
BILE of an egotist. Yet he tells his tales in
such matter-of-iact way that person
cannot put him up as a braggart.
The local police officers ana the express
company are considerably chagrined
over the fact that the train .ropber for
whom they have been hunting for mon this
has spent several days in this city and in
Stockton at various times.
How do you do. Mr.. Thacker?" he
said to the we'll known detective, as tha {
gentleman stepr cd into the sheriff's office
this afternoon.
"How do you know ny namo?" asked
Thacker.
"Oh, was in saloon near the corner
OF Third and X streets in this city few
weeks ago when you came in. Some one
remarked. There's ThacKer' and
ducked out OF there
Brady says he lodged here for a weel,
and was in Stockton about three weeks.
Near the latter place he bought horse
and cart, with tho intention of leaving
the country. At that time he had over
$500 and now regrets that he did not
board train and ride out. He feels con-
tident no one would have recognized him.
His capture, which was made by Dep
uty Sheriff Mcdonald and William A.
Johnston. under bridge near Franklin.
in this county, was an easy one. They
got the drop on Brady with their guns
while he was hiding under the bridge.
and he had to surrender. Yesterday ho
was driven by hunger into the little town
Of Freeport, and the officers were notified.
Detective William Ahern of the railroad
service, who has been on Bradys trail
for several weeks, is given much credit
for the fact that he notified the local
officials few days ago by telegraph to be
on the lookout for him. Ahern was close
upon him when he stole horse ftom
George Ditzler. near Biggs. Brady had
worked in that neighborhnood and knew
just where to get horse. and what one
to take. The story of his wanderines up
and down the Sacramento valley and his
fight with the Shasta county officers is q
thrilling one. He says the officers who
fired upon him near Cottonwood wounded
lin in the side. He did not shoot at
tnem at all, he says. His gun was acci-
dentally discharged by being caught in
somo brush. and they ran away.
II could have winged them" he said.
"but thought | would let them go.'
With respect to the identification of
Brady with Browning at Golden Gate
