DELAWARE NEGRO SENT BACK

Edward Riley, the negro who was ar
rested in Philadelphia as fugitive from
justice from Delaware, and whom Cover
nor Pennypacker refused to surrender
until he received assurances from Gov
ernor HUM that Riley would not be
lynched if he should be taken back, was
turned over to the Delaware authorities
Tuesday.
State Detective Ratledge, OF Delaware,
arrived at Captain Miller's Office Tuesday
morning with the warrant for the removal
Of the prisoner. Accompanied by Detec-
tive Edward Gallagher, Ratledge went to
Moyamensing Prison and Riley was
turned over to them.
Ratledge remained at the City Hall for
some time with his prisoner. The detec-
tive said that no demonstration would be
made against the prisoner, for whose
safety Governor Pennypacker has been
SO much concerned. The negro, too, was
equally confident of fair treatment. Riley
is accused Of felonious assault on a girl OF
his own race. On his arrival at Whining
ton he was locked up in police station
and was taken to the New Castle County
Workhouse.
