SLAGLE ARRESTED
On a Raquisition from Pennsylvania
Yesterday, and Taken to Pittsburg
on Serious Charge---Was Cen
nected With the Brokers Exchange.

Yesterday morning rather sensa-
tional arrest was made by Lieut.. Dan
Ingram. Detective McTighe came
down from Pittsburg after l.. H. Slagle,
senior member of the firm which has
been conducting the stock exchange at
NO. 1923 Market street. lie stated that
he had made several unsuccessful eff
forts to take Slagle in Pittsburg. He
was armed with requisition papers
properly signed by Governor Atkinson.
Slagle offered to return with Nc
Tighe, but in the afternoon Col. w. w.
Arnett appeared before Judge Hervey,
in the Circuit Court, and made appli-
cation for writ Of habeas corpus. The
writ was granted and made returnable
at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Meanwhile McTighe was making prep
arations TO return TO Pittsburg on the
1870 train. Deputy Sheriff Kindleber-
ger reached the depot with his papers
just as the train was pulling out.
The detective stated that Slagle had
been indicted in Pittsburg for securing
about $500 or $500 by fraudulent
means. Members of the brokerage firm
were very indignant about the matter,
and expressed the opinion that Mr.. Sla-
gle will have no difficulty In establish
ing his innocence of any criminal pro-
ceeding. They state that there Is a
sum in dispute, and that the Pittsburg
parties are endeavoring to collect it
by criminal proceedings.
