A Train Robbers History.
Aged Father Makes an Appeal.

Governor Tyler received a letter last
Monday, which shows that the noted
train-robber Searcy, who is now serving
term in the penitentiary for holding
mp and robbing the train on the Rich
mond, fredericksburg and Potomac
road at Aqua Greek in 1894, is of a
good Texas family. The letter was from
Colonel James Buclner Barry, of Wal
nut Springs, Tex, who is the stepfath-
er of the convict.
The writer of the letter tells the Gov
emor he is nearly so years of age, and
served in the war with Mexico, and was
colonel in the Confederate army. He

makes an earnest appeal to the Governor
to pardon the young man, aud says that
he will welcome the return of the prodi
gal. He makes no effort to palliate the
crime of the man, but asks the Governor
to extend mercy. Colonel Barry refers to
ex-senator Reagan, member of Presi-
dent Davis's Cabinet, as to his standing
IN Texas. There is no likelihood of the
