No Clutches Furnished Morganneid'
Despite the Order of Judge Ashton'

cey Living Luxuriously.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA. March g.
Especial )-Detective X. ii. Pearson, or
Jersey City, arrived here to-day ana ideh-
tilted the young man. Edwin Tuttle. VINO
voluntarily gave himself up to sergeant
Burlington yesterday as being wanted
In that place for robbing his employer
of SIT.
When futile approached the Sergeant
and announced his theft that official was
very dubious. but had him placed In the
lookup. and Immediately wired the au-
thorities. Late In the evening a teie-
gram was received stating that sucn
robbery had occurred, and that an off,
Ger would be sent al once TO Identity
the confessed criminal. Mr.. Pearson. on
arriving to-day. visited the jail and re-
coCnzed futile as the late clerk OF Fred.
Demott Spengerman, of Jersey City, and
Will leave with him for that place to-
morrow. futile Is a young man OF neat
appearance, and seemingly well educated.
lie has wept bitterly to-day. and says he
greatly regrets his crime. In answer as
to why he committed 1t he said: my
employer, who is relative OF mine, has
OF late treated me very badly, and l
robbed him to get even, but on arriving
here I began TO feel sorry for what |
had done and determined TO give myself
up. and be taken back The amount.
he said consisted of $40 in cash and
checks amounting to sl07 lie is only
q years OF age, and. from what Mr..
Pearson knows, has heretofore borne
good character
NO CLUTCHES YET.
Notwithstanding the order given by
Judge Ashton granting Morganileld
cTutches the prisoner has not yet re-
ceived them, and from the best infogma-
ton | can obtain he Will not, unless his
counsel becomes responsible for their pay
ment. Sergeant Darlington. in speaking
of the case this evening, said there was
nothing so far as he knew requiring
the State to pay for them, and as the
order of Judge Ashton was not peremp-
tory q few days would not make much
difference. There is an impression pre-
vailing. however that some local au-
thority here does not desire Morganfeld
to have crutches, and the matter Is be-
ing considerably commented upon. Sena-
tor little is much surprised at the failure
OF his client 10 receive the clutches. ana
from the outlook there is likely to be
trouble unless they are forthcoming.
NECESSARY TREATMENT
The prisoner is under the jurisdiction
OF Judge Ashton, and Mr.. Little says he
cannot see how any Of the authorities
here can disregard Judge Ashton's Order
especially when 1t was granted upon a
certificate from the Jail physician who
in doing so. stated that the crutches
were necessary for the medical treat
ment of the prisoner Continuing. the
Senator said If the State Is required TO
pay for medicine, when 1t is necessary for
a sick criminal. why is she not required
TO pay for anything else that Is essen
tlal to the health and life of prisoner,
and especially for a pair Of clutches to
enable a crippled prisoner to exercise a
broken limb, when he has been on MS
back for six months? Thus matters stand.
and 1t would not be surprising TO your
core spondent If the case does not result
in a clash between the powers that would
be and those that are.
SEARCEY IN CLOVER.
The case of Searcey was also re-
vived to-day by the appearance in the
city last night Of Captain Hinde. Pinker-
toms chief: and the fact that Searcey
is being tenderly nursed and elegantly
provided for is becoming more apparent
every day, not only by the frequent visits
OF the detective and eXpress-men, but by
the easy way in which he takes his in
generation. That money is also being
freely given him has always been the
impression OF many, and was fully con-
hrn,ed to-day by the announcement that
while coming from Stafford Courthouse
Wednesday he dropped a bill. which was
picked up and returned to him by Otiicer
Gore. on being informed I interviewed
II. ri - nd
that such had occurred, anc 90 the best
Of his knowledge and belief ii was
$50 note.
Searcey also lives on the Eat of the
land" but 1t is quite different from Nor
garfield, for If he wants even bag or
tobacco his counsel has to furnish ii.
