BACK WITH HIS PRISONER.
Detective Ellison Makes an Import
ant Arrest
AFTER TWO YEARS OF SEARCH.
u. Ray Pierce Is Located Mt II snw-
mill station About seventeen
Miles From Alexandria, In.
Err TWO YEARS OF SEARCH.

In December. 1895. Colonel ]. II. Burnett,
well known real estate owner of this city.
lost two promissory notes Of the aggregate
value OF $4,000.
Before the loss had been discovered these
notes had been turned over to MIR. Charles
Tnsley for negotiation by Il. Ray Pierce,
then in the real estate business here, with
an office in the Khan building and a tenant
Of Colonel Burnett, living in the fine brick
residence out near the Fair Grounds known
as the old Johnson place, and Pierce had
realized $1,000.
Soon after this he left Houston, and not
long after his departure Colonel Burnett
discovered his loss In the meantime Mr.
Tinsley had sold the notes to Mr. c.
Schwartz. an innocent purchaser. from
whom Colonel Burnett subsequently recov-
cred them by civil action.
In the meantime the case was placed In
the hands OF Detective Ellison, who has
been working on It ever since, and last
night his labors were rewarded by placing
Pierce behind the bars in the city jail.
The way he finally located Pierce was
through some old envelopes that he had left
behind him when he left Houston These
envelopes bore the postmark MontlcelV
Ark Ellison wrote there and discovered
that a man by that name had married in
that city some years previous. Finally.
through the visit OF his mother-in-l Law
from his wifes old home at Monticello,
Pierce was traced 10 a little sawmill station
known as Pollock. located In the woods OF
Louisiana. about seventeen miles from
Alexandria. He was engaged there con-
Quoting grocery and mill supply store
under the style OF Pierse y Co. Ms soon
as Ellison had located his man he sent on
the necessary papers and caused his arrest,
and securing requisition papers. went On
for him at once.
on the way over yesterday Pierce gas IN
terviewed by n reporter OF the New Or
leans Picayuno. when he stated that the
notes he is charged with having stolen were
given him by Mr. Oscar Burnett, son OF
Colonel Burnett, since deceased.
The location and arrest Of Pierce in the
forests of Louisiana constitute very
clever piece OF detective work on the part
OF Mr.. Ellison.
