A crime of thirty yeara ai»o has jueit been brought to public attention again in southern Ohio by the discov ery aad arrest of the principil of the affair, win for yearn bas been an uu- Buspected, but shiftless*, Ross couuty farmer. There is a good deal of ro mance in tbe story, and altogether it is an unn«ually interesting one Iu 1855, when tho canals were still mar vels in Ohio, the Helen R. was oue of tbe neatest boats on tbe Muskin gum. Sbe was captained by* Rich ard Cassiboon, a jolly fellow, and a man who apparently made more mon ey out of his calling tbau any other captaiu between the lake aud tbe river. But be drank, and when in bis cups was quarrelsome, seeming to fiud his chief amusement in abus ing his wife, a comely, kiud-hearted woman whom everybody liked. In the fall of '55, while the Helen R was lying idle at Dresden Junc tion. Casiboon one day quarreled with his wife and attempted to strike ber. William Hyde, who happened to be uer.r, iuterfered, and in tbe quarrel that followed Hyde was kill ed. Casiboon was promptly arrested, and so strong waa the feeling against him that, had an immedia'e trial fol lowed, he would have doubtless paid the death penalty; but the' beariug was deferred e-ud the got off with a sentence of 6 years in the peni tentiary on a verdict of manslaugh ter. Between 'be time of his convic tion and sentence aud the day fixed for his removal to the penitentiary Casiboon effected his escape from the Mu.-kinguin County Jail. Four other prisoners accompanied him, but were afterward apprehendeded Casiboon, however, evaded tho detectives, and from that time until his arrest b"re a few davs ago wua never heard of. From Z-meßville bu fled to Ham deo, whure, fanoyfnir hira-Wf secure from capture, be ob ained employ ment in aum ill coal bank. Laier be trrew suspicious and lift llvnlri, going to McArtbur. Again b<» b«- mm« apprehensive and fl-d to the hill? of lioHx county county, where be remained until the war broke out. lie eulibted in thu Eighteenth Olio under nn assumed name,and fought for his couuiry uut.il near the close of the war, when bo wounded, and has ever nine drawn a peiiaiou of $24 per mouth. During the first year of the war Casiboorj met no one in the army whom he knew, bin afrcr that tbere recruits from Mu-kingum county, and tbey mcogniz"d their comrade an Dick Caartiboon, the fugitive from justice. iJui men were not so partic ular just theu, and soldiers were needed uud tbe crime of the canal boatmau was condoned. When tbe war ended some of tbo6e who recognized tbe criminal bad been laid away in Southern toil, and those who were spared told no taleß because Caaniboon bad fongbt well in a cause dear to tbem. But years of peaoe dimmed tbe memories of war, and as the brother of tbe reordered man, wbo bad never ceased to search for tbe slayer of bis kinsman, was living, it was decided to mike tbe facts known. One afternoon last week two gentleman with an official appearance arrived at ChilHcotbH. The one was Itafi* Ifrrttol, Sheriff oT MuskUrgum county, and the other G. R. Warner, Chitf of Police of Zacesville. They inquired for Isaac, of whom they only knew that he received his mail at VV slier. The two men drove to Massieville, whence they were directed IO the hills back ot Franklin, and there, a what is kuovvn as Snake Hollow, they found their mau. Brown's home was a cabin on the hillside, his faroi a 100 acre tract so unproductive that its tnle is still in the Government Isaac Brown was l>iek Cassiboon His poverty was shared by a wife, said to be bis third, and three children, the eldest grown, the youngest but 5. Brown was f-vund gray, old and sick. The family wus half-starved in the miserable home benide which the Penitentiary is a palace. Uuder pretense of business connect ed with his pension Brown was coax ed Ma-sieville, where he was told be was under arrest, and his identity rtood reyealed. He made no demon stration, 8 id atter H good supper ex pressed bis willinguess to go at once to Z iuesviiU aud receive his punish meut for a crime committed 33 years a«o. Hyde's brother, who still re tides at Dresden, iutends to push the CdSe, but there is a pretty general feeliug that Dick Cassiboou as Isaac Browu atoued by his war record for an unintentional crime, and Gov. Foraker will be asked to pardon him, and will doubtless do so. —The coQifregatiou ol eightj thoa- Band peoplo who crowdud St. Peter's in Rome OD Sunday, Jan.
