Miss Anna Ashby Finds an Escaped
Criminal Through Published De-
scriptiOn of Man Arrested
in Kansas City, kas.

Only for the vigilance of Miss Anna Ash
by. daughter of Marshal Ashby, of Bruns-
wick, Mo-, a much wanted criminal would
have gained his liberty in Kansas City,
Kas.
DR.. w. H. Watson. colored. was taken
from Topeka to Kansas City, kas., Friday
night, where he is wanted for forgery. In
stead of locking him in a cell. he was al
lowed to sleep on cot in the police COM
missioners room at the city hall. Yester-
day morning. by the aid of friends. the
case against him was compromised by
Watson paying the amount of money he
received on the worthless check. AS Wat
son and Detective Walsh were walking
from the city hall to the city court to have
the case legally dismissed they were met
about half a block from police headquar-
ters on the Kansas side by Miss Anna Ash
Journal. When she met the officer and
prisoner she halted them and inquired
where they were going:
II am the daughter of Marshal Ashby. of
Brunswick. Mo-. and that man there is my
prisoner said the young woman. He got
away from my father more than two
The plucky young woman turned to the
prisoner and asked him what he did with
the handouts that he wore when he made
his escape. Watson did not reply. but he
was Thoroughly disturbed. Miss Ashby
demanded of the officer that he march
the prisoner back to police headquarters
ana he ODeyeG ike a We'll trained SOluler
At the station Miss Ashby related the
story of how Watson was under arrest
at Brunswick for forgery and how he es-
capped from her father while being taken
from the Jail to the courtroom. hand
cuffed.
Miss Ashby came to Kansas City few
days ago to visit her brother. who is EN-
ployed at the Armour packing house. and
to tell him of her fathers bad luck in
letting one of his prisoners escape. She
happened to notice in yesterday morn
ings Journal an account of the arrest of
DR.. W. H. Watson. the colored forger. at
Topeka. The article also stated that Wat
SOP would be brought to Kansas City,
kas., where he was wanted for forgery.
She at once realized that Watson was the
man who had escaped from her father and
she haStened to the Kansas side to nail
her prisoner. She arrived just in time for
had she been five minutes. later Watson
would have been released. When confront
ed by the young woman at police head
quarters he denied being the man wanted
at brunswick. but Miss Ashbys cross
questioning was too much for him and he
finally broke down. He pleaded with the
police not to allow the authorities TO take
him back to Missouri. He said that he
would rather go to the Kansas peniten-
tiary for forty years than stand trial in
Missouri. He was locked up in the coun-
ty Jail on the Kansas side. where he will
be detained until Marshal Ashby. of
Brunswick, can arrive. He was notified of
the capture yesterday by his daughter.

THE B. & O.
More Court Proceedings Looking to
the Hindering Of the Reorganiza-
tiOn Plans.

New York, October 18.-Testimony
was taken here to-day before a COM
missioner appointed by Baltimore
court in proceedings instituted by the
first preferred stockholders of the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad. The stock
holders seek to stop the reorganization
of the road until certain of their de-
mands have been complied with. One
of these is that the interest on their
stock amounting to 100000 which has
been in default since August 1 last
shall be paid.
Among the witnesses examined to-
day were the managers of the B. & o.
reorganization plan. They were ask
ed many leading questions, which, on
the advice of counsel, they did not an
HWer.
Bernard Carter, Arthur G. Brown
and John j. Donaldson, of Baltimore,
represented the first preferred stock
holders and John N. Steele, of Balti-
more and John C. Johnson, of Phila-
delphia, appeared for Xne mortgage
trustees.
MT steele said after the taking OF
the testimony:
The first preferred stockholders
have petitioned the United States Cir
cult Court in Baltimore, asking that
no foreclosure of any Baltimore and
Ohio mortgage shall be permitted IN
til after the Supreme Court Of the
United States has decided whether the
first preferred stock is lien upon all
mortgages. The case is set for hear-
ing in Baltimore on October 31st, and
the proceeding in New York today was
merely the formal taking of testimony
Of their petition. The
statement in a New York newspaper
to-day that the foreclosure proceed
ings in Virginia and Ohio have been
enjoined is incorrect That question
is to be argued in the Baltimore
courts. There is little doubt that the
reorganization will be permitted to
proceed"

SOMETHING ABOUT THE AUTHOR.

Alice Williamson has made a great
reputation among the younger genera
ton of novelists. Born in 1869 at one
of the Livingstone Manor Houses on
the Hudson River, for she was a Miss
Livingstone, she commenced to weave
romances before she could hardly
write. OF her very youthful efforts
none has ever seen the light in print,
but when she was only fifteen her first
short story was published. Even then
she did not embark upon the profess
sion OF literature seriously. Going
over to England for a stay Of six or, at
the longest, twelve months, she be-
came engaged TO Mr.. Williamson, a
well-known personality in the journal
istic world, and was shortly after
wards married. Almost directly after
her marriage about four years ago,
she recommended her literary labors.
Her first efforts were in the direction
Of character sketches which were done
with the vigor and the power of
graphic narration which have so
charmed the readers Of her later stor-
les. Then Mrs. Williamson embarked
upon more arduous undertaking Of
serial story for Messrs. HARMS
worth. The story was a complete
success, and having found her particu-
lar bent" Mrs. Williamson has pro-
gressed, adding many other successful
stories to her initial venture as a
novelist.
