AFTER MANY YEARS.

Perry Rfchardson Arrested for n
Crime Committed Thirty Years
Ago.
Madison, Wis, Jan. 19.-Perry Rich
ardson, who has been fugitive for
nearly thirty years, has been arrested
at Baraboo. He is charged with hav
ing committed a murder in the north
ern part of Sank county in 1860, the
victim being Schuyler T. Gates, then
n resident of Delton. Richardson
claims to have wandered over the
earth, spending most of his time in
Australia, where, he says, he made
ard lost fortune. Six months ago
stranger made his appearance in Sank
county, where he busted himself in
making an application for pension.
While obtaining the necessary proofs
he ran against some parties who re-
WONDERED the Delton killing, and with
one of thse men the stranger, who was
Richardson, got into a controversy in
saloon. His treatment SO enraged the
companion that the latter made in
formation to the authorities and the
accused was taken into custody. He
had been indicted in 1870, after escap-
ing, and he was taken to BarabOo for
trial. In the county court there he
petitioned for a release on writ of
habeas corpus, alleging eight different
reasons why he should be discharged,
the principal one being the lack of
jurisdiction of the authorities. The
Judge remanded the prisoner to the
custody of the sheriff to await his trial
