May Be RilIiet's Partner in Attack.

Is Harry Crumpton, the handsome young barber, arrested at Hope and taken to Little Rock, by Detective Hawkins, the partner of Bert Rilliet, who was shot and killed about two weeks ago by Charles J. Roberts, a railway mail clerk, after the two men had attempted to snatch a diamond stud from him at Little Rock? The police say so. Roberts says he is al most positive that Crumpton is the man who fled when Rilliet was shot. Crumpton, who is a native of Arkan- sas, having relatives in ParagsJuld and a brother in Little Rock, will base his defense upon an alibi. He claims to have been at the home of his brother there on the night the attempt was made to rob Roberts. The pris- oner, who is being held on charge of attempted highway robbery, main tained splendid composure when sweated by the detectives Thursday night. He was brought into the pri- vate room of the detective headquar- ters, where he underwent a searching interview. At the close of the in- terview Crumpton exhibited some ner- vousness, his breath came fast, and his heart throbs were almost audible to those present Closeted with Crumpton and the detectives was City Attorney w. Burt Brooks. Chief of Police Frank McMahon stated that he is satisfied that the department has the right man. Roberts met Crump- ton face to face at the police station late Thursday afternoon. The mail clerk was practically positive that Crumpton is the man who was with Rilliet and whom he shot at as the man fled Roberts stated that Crump- ton did not have on the same clothing as Rilliet's companion wore on that ight Crumpton's capture was effected after some clever detective work by the Little Rock Police Department. Shortly after the attempted hold-up and killing of Rilliet, Chief McMahon had a letter from George T. OHayeg, chief of police at Memphis, enclosing q photograph of Crumpton, stating that Crumpton had escaped from the rock pile there, and was wanted TO serve out the balance of his term. The department at Little Rock learned that both Crumpton and Rilliet were barbers, and that they left Memphis on the same day. The police also found that Crumpton had left Little Rock on the day following the killing of Rilliet. They tracked him to Arka- delphie and from there to Hope, where his arrest was ordered. While in jail at Hope, Crumpton is alleged to have stolen $10 from fellow-pris- oner, who was intoxicated. According to Detective Hawkins, the sheriff at Hope asked that Crumpton be search ed at the depot upon complaint of the drunken prisoner When Crumpton was confronted with the charge, he is said to have pulled 5000 out of his pocket ad handed it to the sheriff to be returned to the drunken prisoner. By order of Chief McMahon, Crump- ton was removed to the county jail, where a close watch will be kept upon him.

Department won't Pardon Deserter.

Governor Pindal has received a let ter from the War Department to the effect that that department, together with high officials of the government, could not see fit to pardon Jas. J. At kins, who is wanted at Fl Dorado this month to stand trial, but who is now serving a term of Imprisonment at Alcatraz island, Cal, for desertion
 The petition for pardon was made in order to help Atkins bondsmen out of predicament, as they will likely be compelled to pay the bond they furnish for Atkins unless he shows up at Fl Dorado for trial this month. It is possible, however, that they will not be relieved from the payment of the bond by the governor, considering the circul stances in the case.
 Atkins was tried on the charge of assertion from the army at Fort Slo- cum, N. Y, August 16, 1906, and sen fenced to 15 months imprisonment and hard labor at the Pacific branch of the United States military prison on Alcatraz island, Cal, His term will expire November 19.
