was not yet recovered from sea

staieroom during the whole voy-
age.
On the passenger list she was reg

from Havana. When the Seneca
reached quarantine the tow boat J.

BOWORE SHOE COMPANY.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
TO South Jefferson street.

Marion, Va, Dec. 1S.-Special. W.
g. Baldwin, the Norfolk ANA Western
detective, placed Del Hunley. negro
about 20 years of age, in Jail at this place
yesterday charged with robbing the depot
at this point. On the night of Novem-
Der 10. the ticket Office of the Norfolk and
Western was broken into and the ticket
case rifled. The matter was kept very
quiet and the case placed in the hands of
Detective Baldwin. About the 18th "a
new coon" came to town. He was we'll
dressed ar d got in with the colored pop
ulation, drank whiskey, played craps and
n ade himself very popular. After spend
ing several weeks he and Del Hunley took
a trip to Bristol Hundley got confden-
tial and told him all about the robbery.
About this time Mr.. Baldwin came to
BRISTOL and Hundley was invited ont TO
see some colored friend. He talked freely,
telling all about the robbery, how he got
in, what he got. etc. That night he was
arrested and locked up. 1t now turns out
that Mr.. Baldwin and several other gen
tlemen were in an adjoining room while
he was doing the talking and heard every
word he said. The case will be tried on
Tues day next. Quite lot of threats
were made by our town negroes against
the negro detective but he didn't seem to
scare much.
