PIRATE CRAFT CAPTURED
The Vessel Filled With Loot Taken Near
Newport.
EVIDENCE OF MANY ROBDEaIES.
Henry Allison Jackson Leaves the Boat When
Sheriffs Approach-Many Mysteries May
Be Cleared Up by Jackson's Capture
The Sloop icebound at Annapolis Last
Winter.

Newport, R. l., (SpeciaD.-It is be-
lieved that a large number of robberies
all along the coast from Baltimore to
Providence, R. l., will develop from the
capture in the bay of the pirate sloop
Dorado. Sheriff Anthony believes that
Henry Alison Jackson, of Taunton, who
has been sailing in the sloop for many
weeks, and who fled from here Saturday
when he saw the sheriffs had no fear of
his gun, will soon be taken, and that
then many highly sensational exploits
will come to light. This Jackson is not
Midshipnan Jackson, of the United
States battleship Missouri, who disap-
peared from New York in July with
Olga Maxwell.
Sheriff Anthony and his deputies spent
all day examining the loot taken from
the Dorado, and found among it many
interesting things. They would like to
locate someone named Arbuckle who has
been robbed. Five articles silver marked
"Arbuckle" were found among the stuff.
They also desire to locate someone who
has been robbed of several very hand
some silver Iand-mirrors marked e. H.
A." which they think were also taken
from the Arbuckle house, wherever it
may be- These hand-mirrors are the
most valuable exhibits in the plumber.
The fact that nitro-glycerin and chlor-
oform in large quantities were found
aboard the Dorado has led the sheriff to
believe that probably the boat figured
in some way in the recent safe robbery at
Bridgeport. From papers the boats tin
erary for many weeks can be traced, and
it appears that she was in the neighbour
hood of Bridgeport about the time of the
safecracking.
Jackson is believed to be desperate
character, and he may come here to eff
feet the release of his boat, so a close
watch is being kept on the craft night
and day. Though the craft is compare
lively small, deputy sheriff, heavily
armed, remains aboard all the time.
Blankets of the sostest kind and many
sofa pillows of down indicate that Jack
son and his friends lived in great ease
aboard.
Receipts for large bills of wine indi-
cate that they lived high and entertained
frequently. Pictures of groups found
aboard show that well-dressed young
1ilCl duu WOulCll WCiC ilCquSlltly Oll Liz
Dorado, and many letters found written
from various places show that Jackson
and many girl friends, who wrote on
stylish note paper, used excellent Ian
guage.
Several pictures, apparently of we'll
known Tamnany Hall politician, among
the papers found on the boat attract
much attention. He appears to. be in
fishing costume, and it is possible that
the pictures were stolen
The Dorado is an old-fashioned boat
about 80 feet long. but she has been well
taken care of and is in fine condition.
She is fitted with Palmer motor. There
is report current that the sloop might
give some clue to the shooting of Mrs.
Walter c. Morrill, at Greenwich, Conn,
but none of the papers found give any
bearing upon this incident.
The catboat Bessie, in which one of
Jackson's pals came to Newport, was
found to be owned by c. l. Burlingame,
merchant of Providence and a men,
Der OF the Edgewood Yacht Club, from,
where it was stolen. Anchors, chains
and hawsers found on the boat have been
identified as stolen from the Edgewood
Club, of Providence.
