Charles and Ernest Dewey and tine
Messrs. Borden, of Goldsboro. Here
he surrendered to Sheriff Biddle who
was at the depot, he having been
advised that Dewey was on the train
coming down to give himself up.
Quite a crowd gathered at the sta
ton and warmly greeted Dewey when
he stepped from the train accompan-
led by the sheriff and his friends. He
was, taken to the ~sheriff's office in the
court house, where a number of citi-
zens shook hands with him.
Judge Henry r. Bryan held hear

Dewey had voluntarily given himself
up.
To his friends Dewey stated that
he had almost suffered death in his
exile, as at every turn he expected to
be arrested, and that for the past sew
eral weeks he had been within lassoing
distance of detectives who were after
him. and that on his way back to give
himself UP he was kept busy lodging
detectives. He took dinner with an

Dewey returned to Goldsboro on the
evening train, stating that in a few
days he would return to this city to
