RECAPTURE OF A MURDERER-Hg CoyPEssEs
MURDER WHICH He DID NOT OMNIT.-Some
days ago the Chief Of Police, Major Claiborne,
received description of a man who was
wanted " in Lynchburg, where he had COM
mitted a murder, and on Thursday evening q
man answering to the description was arrested
by Captain Freeman and Detective Goodrich.
When the man reached the cage, and was con-
signed to a quiet cell, he called for Captain
Belts, and asked whether he was to be sent on
to Lynchburg for the murder, and declared his
name to be Spotswood Elisha Riley. Soon
afterwards he called for the Captain again, and
then told him that eighteen months ago he was
sleeping in house in Lynchburg, when man
came to the door and entered the room, swear
ing that he would kill the occupant, whoever
he might be. The man drew long knife and
made at him, stabbing him badly in both arms.
Riley said that he then drew pistol and shot
the man dead In confirmation of this story,
Riley showed some deep scars on his arms, and
then stated that he was arrested for the muir
der, and bailed in the sum Of five thousand
dollars. This bail, he presumed, was for
feited as he left Lynchburg at once, and had
been running on the Central railroad rs a fire.
man for five or six months, with very unan-
viable reputation.


The account given by Riley was so circum-
stantial that ii almost forced belief, but Cap
tain Belts still was in doubt, and telegraphed
to Lynchburg for further information, while
Captain Freeman and Detective Goodrich
went down to the penitentiary TO see what
could be learned there. On yesterday, tele
grams We're received from Lynchburg proving
that Riley was not the man who was
"wanted" " there, and later in the day it was
ascertained that the prisoner, under the name
of Spot Ryder, had been convicted in ls6l of
killing q man, and sentenced to eighteen years
confinement in the penitentiary 1t appears
that he served in the penitentiary until the
evacuation in 1863, when he made his escape,
and since that time had been at large.


Ryder found that his yarn had not served
any purpose, and he gratuitiously announced
his Willingness to proceed at once to his old
home. Captain Freeman and Detective Good

was received with riotous joy by his old COM
panions, who greeted with affectionate ardor

New York News, which advocated the rebel cause

the bowstring to Mr.. Stanton; when every still

when treacherous Union journal joins in the

condary syphilis, or the eruption aris-

the usual way, is communicable by a

may be, it is known that the child who
can only have taken the disease from
the remote source of its mothers blood,
or still more remotely from the father,
does communicate It to the nipple of
its often. healthy foster-nurse. All these
diseases are undoubtedly animal in
their origin, and produced from the

affected person. ~


We cites these examples to prove the
vital necessity of cleanliness. Typhus

genous product of filth and confined

them in the filthy parts of this City,


Typhus fever is very rarely communi-
Gated in the dwellings of the cleanly,
and malignant dysentery, we fully
believe, requires great exhaustion, and
probably direct contact of the germ
from the close stool or privy. 1t is quite
possible that cholera is produced in this
way, and that thus the animal germ is
conveyed directly to the body, hence
the greatest care should be used in de-
stroying the dejectionS of the sick.


Is it not evident, then, to every ra-
tional being that man will find his
greatest safety in cleanliness; and can
man be engaged in nobler or more
