Kennedy Said to be In Custody at Mia
CARA Falls.

1t is again reported that John Ken
nedy has been captured. this time at
Niagara Falls while trying to cross
the bridge to Canada. Several tele-
grams were received here Wednesday
by Commonwealth Attorney Ker
from Detective Baldwin, who was in
Portsmouth, Ohio. in regard to having
the necessary papers made out for the
returned of the prisoner to Virginia.
One thing about the man under arrest
is that his description tallies exactly
with that of the man who was arrest
ed some time ago at Frederick, Md,
and who said he was from Canada.
1t appears from the dispatches from
Mr.. Baldwin that be regards the man
at Niagara as Kennedy. The first
news of the arrest published in the
Richmond and Baltimore papers stated
that the man acknowledged that he
was Kennedy, and was wanted in
Staunton for train wrecking. Moth
iny definite will be known until the
detective has seen the prisoner ani
identified him.
