William Washington, colored, whose
arrest was exclusively announced in
THE EVENING JOURNAL yesterday,
was identified to-day bv Jeremiah A..
Moynihan, a farmer Of near Hockessin,
as one of the two highwaymen who
held him uD at the point of a revolver
on Saturday evening on the Lancaster
Pike. near Hofecker's Hill, and robbed
him of between SIS and $40.
The negro's arrest was accomplished
by State Detective ellis at the Four
Mile Tavern. near Wilmington, yester-
day, and it is considered one Of the
most important captures made for
sometime The detective picked the
man up solely on a description given
by 1r Moynihan, and he was not sure
that he had the right man, but the
victim of the robbery dispelled all
doubt in this direction the minute he
laid eyes on the man at the police
station That's the chap" said Mr..
Moynihan. He is the one who had
the revolver and jumped into the
wagon"
Held in Heavy Bail.
Washington was then taken to the
Office Of Magistrate Robertson and was
arraigned on charges Of assault and
battery and highway robbery. He
pleaded not guilty to both, but waived
a hearing for the upper court, and was
held in $1,000 bail. in default of which
he was taken to the workhouse this
afternoon.
Victims Story of Hold-up.
Moynihan testified before Magistrate
Robertson that he was driving home
On Saturday evening, and just before
O'clock at Hoffecker's Hill. two
negroes jumped out in the road. and
while one of them grasped his horses
head, the other, who he said was
Washington, pointed a revolver at him
and told him to get out of the wagon.
Realizing that he was in the hands Of
desperate men. Moynihan said he told
the thieves that he supposed they
wanted his money. and with this he
threw out in the road a pocketbool;
containing some small change Without

CLEVER ARREST MADE
BY DETECTIVE GILLIS
Picked Up Negro Who is Identified by }. A.
Moynihan, of Near HoCkessin. as One of
tiighwaymen Who Held Him Up

lowering his revolver. the robber Who
was covering the witness. called On
the other negro to examine its con-
tents This he did and only found n
trihing sum. This made the thief with
the revolver mad. and with an oath
he jumped up on the wagon and
struck Moynihan across the face witt
the weapon. He then began to search
the witness. and succeeded in getting
Moynihans pocketbook containing be-
tween IS and $40 The thieves then
told the victim to drive up the road
as fast as he could or they would
shoot This he did. and later notified
the authorities in this city.
Posed Four Mile Tavern.
In going to his home on Saturday
evening. Mr. Moynihan had to pass the
Four-Mile Tavern. After he had given
a description of the men as near rs
he could, to Detective ellis, the latter
began to scour the country around the
scene Of the robbery, and came across
Washington at the Four-Mile Tavern,
where he lives.
The detective said the prisoner first
denied that he had been away from
home on Saturday evening, but later
admitted that he had. He got very
nervous when the officer began to ques-
ton him about the robbery.
It is not likely that the other negro
will be arrested, as he was too far
away from Mr. Moynihan, and was
partially shielded by the horse, whose
head he was holding. and for this rea-
son. Mr. Moynihan fears he would have
difficulty in Identifying him. It was
just beginning to get dark when the
robbery occurred. He is sure of Wash
ington. however. as the latter's face
touched his own when he was search
I ing him.
The arrest is considered a good one
and reflects much credit on Detective
/ ellis. He had little to work on, and he
is as much pleased with the arrest as
Mr. Moynihan. The latter showed
marks on his face yet where he was
struck by the revolver in the high
wayman's hand.

Washington, May 28--Walter j.

Johnson fired three times at Suds-

the negro fled but was pursued
and seeing that he was about to
be captured. shot himself in the
head and died soon afterwards.
According to the police, the trou-
bic grew out of visit by John

fuse to endorse william Jennings
Bryan and instruct the delegates to
the Denver convention to vote for
him. The resolutions which were
adopted by the Tifin convention so
thoroughly disprove this statement
that 1t is scarcely worth con-
,sideration, only as 1t indicated that
the opposition to MIR. Bryan is one
which exists in the minds of a few
of his enemies, who rush into print
with declarations which they are
unable to prove and which are
shown upon investigation to be
nothing but falsifications. The
Tifin convention, without one dis
senting voice placed its stamp OF
approval upon the candidacy OF
Mr.. Bryan and instructed dts dele
gates to vote for him, first last
and all of the time. The delegates
selected are William Homer Rine-
hart of Erie county and Carl II.
Henkel of Crawford county, and
two better and wiser selections could
not have been made. Both are known
to be staunch Democrats and both
are strong Bryan men.
The indications are that Ohios
delegation will vote solidly for the
Commoner and that his nomination
will be made on the first ballot.

TIE NOMINEE FOR CONGRESS

The Thirteenth Congressional Dis
trict Democratic convention has been
held and the standard has been
placed In the hands of Mayor Carl
c. Anderson, OF Fostoria, one of
the most active and aggressive
young Democrats in the district. His
career has been without the scar
of defeat. Beginning life as poor
boy, he has fought his way until
he is now one of the wealthy manu-.
facturers of the district. From boot
black and newsle, to the mayorship
of one OF the thriving cities in Ohio
and the head of a great manufacture
tinls establishment, he now promises
to add another victory to his long
list of achievements and place the
couted M. c." after his name. AS
stated In his speech OF acceptance
his campaign has already begun
and those who know Carl Anderson
and hic way of doing things know
that 1t will not close until the polls
have closed on election day. There
will be something doing every min
ute of the day and every day In
the week and the man who Is un-
fortunate enough to stand against
him for the honor will find that
ihe has been given race which is
Just little bit faster than any
thing to which HE has been accus-
toned.
The convention which nominated
&c. c. Anderson was one OF the
most representative body OF citizens
which has been assembled in this
district in many years. 1t was
evident during the early balloting
that no slate had been made and
that the man who landed the nomi-
nation would have to make a fight
for 1t. 1t was anybody's race until
the sixteenth ballot had been cast.
However. from the very start 1t was
eyident that MIR. Anderson was to
be reckoned with. lie took the lead
on the rirst ballot and kept 1t
steadily until the last. On only one
or two ballots did he show a loss
and that was soon regained and
an increase registered ON the next.
During all of the time OF the af-
ternoon and evening, while ballot
lting was in progress, the best OF
lgood feeling was manifested upon
the part OF the delegates and can
ldidates. 1t was a friendly contest
from start to finish and when the
nomination was made there were
no sore spots TO be healed. AS a
ulduJti Dl couTSe UueTe were ulSdp-
pointed candidates and disappointed
delegates. Each candidate had his
hopes of nomination and each one
had his friends who stood by him
lloyally, but as soon as the nomina-
Ition had been made the hatohet was
lburied. allegiance to the nominee
was sworn and the convention ad-
journed, each man with the deter
mination from this time on to work
for the election of Mr.. Anderson
and to redeem the Thirteenth dis
trict for Democracy.
Mr.. Anderson is the nominee and
It is the duty OF every loyal Demo-
crat to stand by him until he is
lplaced In his seat In congress by
one OF the most handsome majorities
ever given to congressman from
this district.
