trip and with becoming modesty blushed
and stammered when telling the details of
the shrewd trick by which he took his man
from the clutches of the California law, in
spite of edicts and injunctions. He would
not say from whom he received his first Zip
that CadWallader was in California. but
admitted that he had been the first one to
know of ii in Randolph county. Said he:
THE California laws require at least two
responsible men to identify a criminal in
order to make valid claim for requisi-
ton and, knowing this. the depostors of
the Citizens Bank agreed to send Colonel
Patched with me in order TO identify the
man. We arrived there and had no diff
Guilty in establishing his identity and caus-
ing his arrest. AS soon as Cadwallader was
in custody he announced that he was going
to fight the reqUisition proceedings to the
end, and, as first step, applied for re-
lease on bond by habeas corpus proceed
ings, and was admitted to bail. Seeing that
we were to have a hard fight to get him to
Indiana and that the effort would require
time and money. I decided, with Colonel
Patchell, to get him out of the State by
other means We then chartered special
engine from the Southern Pacific Railroad,
with the understanding that it was to take
us to over the California line. Securing
help we took Cadwallader into custody and
put him aboard the engine and started on
our way. His friends, however, were ac
tive and at once took out habeas corpus
papers from the court to secure the release
of Cadwallader before he could be taken
over the Nevada line. kilograms were sent
to all the stations along the line across the
State, but the engine had the right of
way over all other trains, no attention was
paid to them by the engineer Finally the
engine stopped at station in Nevada coun-
ty, and We all thought we were in Nevada.
1t only required a few moments to unde-
ceive US. however. as before we had time
TO look around, local officer came up and
placed US all under arrest. We realized at
once that it would not do to fail at the last
moment, so, while not apparently assuming
an offensive attitude, got all the party
aboard the engine again and this time ran
on to Colfax, New, without paying any at
tentfon to the protests of the California
sheriff. At Colfax we rested and waited two
hours for the regular overland train bound
for Ogden. The rest of our trip was without
incident, and at time has Cadwallader
given us any trouble. We are glad to get
home, and l guess. if the truth could be
known, Cadwallader is also glad"
While the sheriff was talking to the re-
porter, Cadwallader stood apart talking to
Colonel Patched and his son, who met his
father here. Seeing that the conversation
was ended; Cadwallader again Joined in
and in a pleasant manner told of the con-
ditions now existing in California, and the
hard times which are expected this winter
because Of the failure of the crops through
the drought. AS the engine bell began to
ring ard the station master called out the
departure of the train he bowed gracefully
and, preceded by Sheriff Simmons, and fol-
lowed by Colonel Patched and his son,
boarded the car and took his seat still
smoking calmly and apparently uncon-
cerned about the future.
Cadwallader is now under eighteen in
dictments for embezzlement and, in the
opinion of the Union City men who were of
the party, cannot escape conviction
