| Davenport, May 3.-It has come tc
Hight that Davenport took a stellar par,
| in the arrest of Arthur F. Mcintyre
who absconded from st. Louis in the
early part of this year after having
been convicted Of embezzlement and
sentenced to Imprisonment. A letter
| from the convicted man to Irene e
Martin of 214 East Front street, Dav-
export, gave the detectives clue
which finally concluded in McIntyre's
| arrest in London, England, on April s.
and day or two ago the Bow street
extradition court in the metropolis OF
the world ordered Mcintyre to be de-
| livered to the st. Louis authorities.
The arrest furnishes sensational
| chapter, and shows alike the methods
employed by captor and captive in fol-
lowing out their respective bents. Pin
kertons have been attempting to To-
cate Mcintyre for the past four
months, and the announcement OF the
arrest shows the success which met
their efforts. P. j. McCabe, represent
ing this detective agency came to
Davenport on Jan. 90, worked here in
defatigably for three weeks, finally Sc
cured a clue and began operations.
The dispatch from London does not
state who made the arrest, but know
ledge of McCabe's whereabouts since
the capture leads those who were in

credit OF cornering the criminal be-
longs to him.
Mcintyre was accused of swindling
and using the mail to further his pur-
poses. He was arrested and convicted,
but while under the charge of a Unl-
ted States marshal at st. Louis he
jumped out of window and was away.
At the time he was under $1,000 bonds,
and those who were backing him in
this proposition, at once made efforts
to secure his capture. The bond was
due May /, and it behooved them to
begin early operations. The Pinker-
ton detective agency agreed to land
him before that time, and assisted by

Intyre was an admirer of Irene Mar

quently written letters, When
trunk arrived here addressed to Irene
Martin, a short time after his escapade
at the st. Louis jail, the Pinkertons at
once came to Davenport, For three
weeks P. ]. McCabe labored in this
city and finally a letter addressed to
Miss Martin and which had been mail
on train in Michigan gave the de-
tective the desired clue. He left Dav-
export Immediately and when last
heard of here he was in New York
City. 1t Is thought that from New
York he journeyed to London, and
there secured the man for whom he
had been working so assiduously.
Mcintyre will now be brought back
to ST Louis either to serve his time
or to be given another trial as the
court sees fit. Before the London
magistrate he declared that he was
innocent, that he had never had any
business connections with 'get-rich-
nuick" company, but was partner of
