 Fred Furtb, who "stalled the fellow off, until attaches of the sheriff's of- flee arrived at the postoffice, Deputy Sherlff Ed Jones yesterday afternoon arrested H. w. Tewey, 30 years olI. a well dressed white man who is charg. ed with having robbed the Missouri Pacific depot at Diamond, Mo-, some months ago, and who "broke iail" at Neosho, Newton county, Missouri, February 24. A twenty-five dollar re- ward.'s offered by Sheriff w. B. Phi1- lips of Neosho for his capture. Tewey declares that he will not return to Missouri without requisition papers.
 The police and county officers here have been on the lookout for Tcwey for weeks. Sheriff Phillips had posi- tive information that Tewey was Tn this section of the state and he recent ly informed the Pine Bluff authorities that TeWey was working here He was believed to be working under an
 
 day developed that fact
 Several days ago a well dressed stranger was taken in" by the police on suspicion of being the man wanted. He was arrested at Third avenue and Main street and later, when put through the sweating process at Sheriff Philpot's office, he proved his identity and was permitted to go his way. The man was almost a double of the man arrested here yesterday. He was still in the City when Tewey's arrest took place and after learning of it he asked Deputy Sheriff Jones to take him to the county jail and let him see TeWey. Jones accommodated him and the stranger declared that he had never before seen a man<wilo looked so much like himself Why.

 Tewey is in the Jefferson county jail awaiting the arrival of Sherih Phillips, who has been informed of his arrest and of his refusal to leave the state without requisition. Sher- if Phillips will in all probability se- cure requisition from Governor Folk before coming here.
 Tewey, according to the officers, has several aliases. He also goes under the name of Henry Adams and called for mail addressed to one Robert Carter It was this letter that led to Tewey's sudden arrest. The sheriif's office had information that Tewey had of Carter. It was from Empire City, Kansas. The postoffice has been "shadowed" for several days, but yes terday afternoon when Tewey finally showed up there were no officers around.
 Postmaster Furth. who had been put wise" to Tewey's intended visit to the postoffice, made him believe that he was searching for his letter In reality be was telephoning the sheriff's office, and the hurrying of Deputy Sheriffs Ed Jones, John AL exander, J. F. Bono and Jailer Tom Meeks through the streets in the di- rection of the postofice caused no lit- tie excitement. Just as Deputy Sher- if Jones walked into the postofice. Postmaster Furth nodded his head, handed Tewey his letter and the "big show" was pulled of. Jones arrested Tewey and the others stood by to see the job we'll done. Tewey at first de- nied being the man wanted, but when confronted with his photo at the sher- iff's office he was more mild in his dc. nials.
 Tewey has been here for several weeks. He was employed by the Cot ton Belt as a brakeman under the name of Bert Adams. He has been .s4. HY~ COG rs~c< rhs.1 o~nuwx
