Elmira, Chemung Co., N. Y., March 11
Yesterday morning anothor of our some
what celebrated village watchmen, George
Loup, (brother of Henry Loup, already un
der heavy charges,) was arrested and commit
ted, in default of two thousand dollars bail,
on a charge of highway robbery, committed
in Elmira, in November 1851, while acting
as a policeman ! "Kutter- alleges that he and
Loup who seems to be "a wolf in sheep's
clothing"- with another individual, not yet
arrested, accosted a young man named James
Dickson, about eleven o'clock at night, and
retendcd they were all watchmen, demanded
so should accompany them, which he -refusing
to do, llutter seized him by the collar and
tripped him ; as he was falling Loup struck
him on the head with a mace, stunning him
so that the gang had ample time to riSe his
pcekcts of 17,80 in ca.sli, and a promissory
note. The proceeds they afterwards divided
equally among themselves. The night was
ery dark, and Dickson was unable to recog
nize any of tl e party at the time they accost
ed him.
Our Sheriff, who left Schuyler county on
the 13th, to arrest some alleged members of
the Luzerne horse-thief gang, succeeded in
capturing Hiram Sheers, formerly of this
place, who left here suddenly soon after But
ter's confession was made public in the I)is
jxjtich. Shears was yesterday (Thursday)
aent down here, ironed, while Sheriff Gregg
went some twelve miles further in search of
two more of the gang, named Smith and
Thompson, both of whom are probably arrest
ed. Shears was charged with receiving stolen
goods. Ruttcr being the only witness against
him, and (in default of bail in one thousand
dollars,) committed to our prison.
The almost daily arrest of some member of
tL.is daring gang of miscreants, creates an m-t-ense
excitement in our community, and were
BOt the statements of Kutter in many instan
ces strongly corroborated by other circumstan
ces, many would be inclined to regard them
m "Munchausen stories" indeed, it is
scarcely credible that so extensive a gang
should have so long existed in this State and
Pennpylvania.
Some developments, recently made induced
Julius Sherwood, Esq., a well known lawyer
from Tioga county, 1'a., to leave for Wells
boro yesterday, to secure the arrest of three
or four of the gang in that vicinity so that
Chemung county is by n, meaus alone in
her glory."
Kutter, whose testimony has been so useful
in scattering the gang, is in custody at the
Brainard IIous1, and some think he is much
aafer, at least for the present, in the hands of
the law than elsewhere as very many folks
are interested in his disappearance. lie, how
ever, expresses no great anxiety, and likes his
quarters very much smoking his cigar calm
ly, while others partake more or less of the
prevailing excitement. lie is a medium sized
man, with a sandy complexion, red hair, and
-coatee the latter quite heavy for a man of
his size strongly and compactly built, active
-and sprightly in appearance, bright and grey
eyes, rather fiorid complexion, and of what
phrcnologiacs would denominate a combined
inusculai, nervous and vital temperament.
TTher la everything about him indicating
muscular activity and power of endurance,
lie could probably ride a horse after having
suddenly and shrewdly come into possession
-of him fifty miles, (if circumstances requir
ed it,) at a rapid rate, and come out as fresh
as the next man. Give two rods the.start, on
foot, and we venture the assertion that most
men would have more than they could attend
to, in attempting to overtake and secure him.
Judging from his appearance I should say
that he was not naturally a degraded villain,
but one made bo by the unfavorable eircuni
ftances whicir have surrounded him. He is
evidently one of that-class of individuals pos
sessed of strong go-ahead-a-tive powers, which
coupled with great daring and caution, and
misdirected by unfavorable circumstances,
have (in the absence of. hold-back straps")
impelled him to pursue successfully his re
markable career of crime.
While enjoying his present quarters, he
finds fault with the eating accommodations in
your jail. While he admits that the boarders
jn such establishments should not be fed very
high, he thinks bread and water merely is
rather too light a diet especially when it is
given out in homeopathic doses 'for even
prisoners to live on from daj to day. How is
this ? You used to feed your prisoners bet
ter years ago.
John K, Harper, arrested in Buffalo, is
quite a small man, (so Kutter tells me,) while
Brown is a large, stout-lookiog fellow. I
saw him, for the first time, at our jail yester
day I asked him if his name was Brown,
and he rather surlily replied that they called
dam by that name. Ho seems very uneasy j
W dispmted Probably his close quarters
dont agree with him. !

More Arrests Attempt to remove Butter ly
Burning the Hotel Increase of the Police
Force Excitemetit.
In addition to the above, we learn by the
Elmira Advertiser that in Wells township',
Bradford county, Pa.. t John Rowley and
Aroos Baker," jr., have been arrested, on the
testimony of Kutter, charged with burglary,
in robbing the house of Joseph Borhara'of
some money Baker bad paid him a day or two
before. Baker is also charged with receiving
the horse stolen from David Hull of Bedford
. county, Pa., last summer. The Advertiser
gives the following account of a most desper
&( attempt to get rid of Kuttor'a testimony
by burning the hotel where he was confined :
There was quite a panic in tovn ou Tues
day evening, growing outcf the recent horse
thief excitement & examinations, but whether
well founded or not, we are unable to say. It
spems that some daring villain, on the prece
ding night, set fire to the Brainard House'
having probably entered the building with
those visiting Kutter at his room and, as a
company of suspicious looking characters
were known to have arrived from parts un
known, iu the fore part of the evening alluded
to7 (Tuesday,) and put up at the Chemung
House, ordering their horses to be ready at
call any time between twelve and four o'clock
aa apprehension that something wrong was
in -the wind, very naturally seized upon the
public mind. -
It was also reported that an unusually large
number of desperate lookiug characters came
m on tue n uaamsporc train, ana strong rears
were entertained that an attempt to again fire
the Brainard House, break jail aud free the
prisoners therein confined, or capture Kutter
f r the sake of putting an end both to him
and his testimony, would be made. These
fears w-'.re not a little increased by the fact
the Brainard House was visited by the com
pany of suspicious fellows spoken of, one of
whom was heard to make somo harsh obser
vations with regard to Kutter. So strong did
the apprehension become that some desperate
scheme of vilhtiny was on foot, that the Presi
dent of the village was waited on, and a large
additional police force put on duty for the
night, with instructions to keep a close watch
of the sus-pected parties, and the points which
it was feared they might assail The night
passed away, however, without any unusual
occurrence ; but we are by no means disposed
to believe that the precautions adopted were
not both necessary and well timed.
That the Horse Thief Gang are deeply
we may say vitally interested indisposing of
Kutter, there can be no doubt, and a fire, or
anything else which would throw the commu
nity into a panic, would afford the best oppor
tunity of accomplishing this (to them) all im
portant object. While, therefore, he remains
with us, he and his former confederates, in
jail, cannot be too carefully guarded. To be
outwitted just at this time by the members of
the Horse Thief Gang who are still at large,
would be most humiliating to the parties who
are engaged in ferreting out this desperate
nest of villains, and at once open the way for
the most of their number to escape unwhiptof
justice. Let our authorities, therefore, stand
l-n their arms, and put none but brave men,
fruo and tried, on guard! If this band of
robbers wish to throw themselves into the
arena against the people of Elmira, we believe
in meeting them at the very outset, and nip
ping their villainous schemes in the bud.

Elmika, Chemung Co., N. Y March 17.
On the evening of Friday last, 14th inst.,
Enoch Tooker, (who had been arrested the
previous evening at Bath, Stuben county,)
was brought before Police Justice XJrusb., on
a charge of highway robbery, He is accused
of having been a confederate with Kutter and
George Loup, in the robbery of John Dick
son, on one of our public streets, on the night
of the 1st of November, 1854. The amount
of mouey taken was $17,80. Kutter and
Dickson were the only witnesses examined,
and as they were not examined in the pres
ence of each other, it was remarkable how
the lattcr's testimony verified that of Kutter.
The only important discrepancy between them
is the street on which the robbery took place,
and that is not material. Kuttcr's testimony
in tins case was taken on v nday evening,
and I send'you it in full, as well as that given
by Dickson during the afternoon of Saturday.
We arc unable to publish this testimony
a3 full as reported by our correspondent. The
following is its substance :
Kutter testified that he wa3 at Tooker's
house in the summer of 1854, with George
Loup, late at night; a young butcher was
there, who drank with them. Loup and Took
er agreed to rob him. Kutter and Loup fol
lowed the butcher, out; Tooker shut up his
saloon and followed A short distance from
the house ituttcr seized mm, tola mm he was
a policeman and would take him to the watch
house : got his pocket book, threw him down,
and ran away Loop stood close by. Xext
morning divided the proceeds sixteen or
seventeen dollars with Lonp and Tooker, at.
the .saloon. Expected to have got about a
hundred dollars. The butcher had been drink
ing and showing his money, and Tooker plied
him with liquor to make him drunk. (Dick
son's testimonj' corroborated Kutter in every
essential particular.)
When the testimony closed the Justice, af
ter a few remarks decided to hold the defend
ant for trial at the next Court of Sessions ;
and in default of 2,000 bail, Tooker was re
manded to jail.
James Smith, of Hector, Schuyler county,
(arrested on Friday) was brought before Jus
tice Foster, on Saturday morning, on charga
of receiving or purchasing a horse, about
December, 1855, knowing it to be stolen, the
property of John Hershbcrger, of Bedford
county Pennsylvania. John Ruttcr testified
a? follows:
Became acquainted with defendant at Ray
mond Jones' in Southport ; 6av . him next at
his own house, near Hector : went there to
sell a pair of stolen horses ; made a bargain
with him to sell one of them; we were to
meet at Horseheads to complete the sale, so
that if anything should afterwards appear
against him he would be safe. I wa3 to sell
the horse before witnesses, that he could prove
ne nought him honestly. Met him at Horse
heads at the time, and he was fn rriv mo 5.r0
don t know what price was asked before wit;
nesscs, but they were lead to believe that he
would give me more. The horse (a mouse
colored pony) was stolen .at Kiskecoquillas
'-. uuBuugaoa orMiflim counties,
la. Dont know the name of the owner;
the reason I went to sell him the horse was
that he once wanted to trade me a stolen gold
watch for a stolen sorrel mare. Have had
transactions with him since.
Wm. Reynolds., pf Bedford county, Pa.,
identified the horse a3 having been stolen from
John Harshberger by a man named Green,
last September. Defendant told him he tra
ded for him with Wellington Smith.
Wellington Smith (a nephew of defendant)
testified that he had traded for the horse with
Kutter, in good faith, and sold him the game
in good faith to his uncle, the defendant.
The accused waived a further examination,
and gave bail for his nppearance at the next
term of the Court of Sessions, in the sum of
2,000. ' - " ;
At half-past one, on . Saturday afternoon.
Bradford Warner (also of Schuyler county)
was brought before Justice Foster for exami
nation, on a charge of receiving stolen horses.
On his appearance iu the Justice's office, he
was arrested oa a charge of larceny, in steal
ing a log chain, valued at sis dollars arid fifty
cenis, from Robert Beckwith, in August,
1853 ; and as the couusel for the prosecution
was not ready for an examination ou the first
charge, the prisoner was examined on the new
lone. At the conclusion oi me esarauiaiwu
i he was held to bait to answer. His examina
tion on the charge of receiving stolen horses I
will probably take place to-day.
DEPARTURE OF KUTTER, BROWN AND HARPER.
Sunday evening, Sheriff Welsh, Colonel
Coulter, "and MrGauible, left at 11 o'clock
for Philadelphia, on their way home, taking
with them the three most distinguished mem
bers of the horse thief gang, viz : John Kut
ter, John Brown and John K. Harper the"
latter was brought to this place late Saturday
night, from Buffalo. Harper and Kutter
roomed together Saturday night, at the Brai
nard and are as sociable in each other's com
pany as ever they were. Harper admits, in
the main, all of Kuttcr's statements concern
ing his transactions here and elsewhere. I
saw him in his room, Sunday He is a man
about Kutters size," of light complexion, has
a lively, pleasant, countenance, and sports an
unpretending iight-colored goatee -His coun
tenance betrays the cunning so necessary to
make a complete rogue, but apart from that
there is nothing suspicious about him
During Rutter's stay here, he has been
waited upon daily by hundreds of persons,
and he is glad to get away, as he has been
kept upon the rack almost constantly, in ap
pearing against all the members of the gang
that have been arrested here within the last
ten or twelve days, and also in answering tho
hundreds of questions put to him by the nu
merous persons who have had horses, cattle
and other property stolen from them in this
vicinity. 3Iuch valuable property, thro' his
information, has already been obtained by the
rightful owners, and much more will yet be
secured. I think he is sineerely"honestin his
endeavors to expose his late confederates in
crime. lie does it," seemingly, without mal
ice, and (as he says) for the good of the com
munity. He certainly has a remarkable mem
ory, and never asserts anything as true unless
he is " sure he's right." He is a Very hard
witness to make anything against on a cross-
examination. I he lawyers here have cross-
examined him closely, but have ceased their
abuse of him for several days pait, as they
made nothing by it previously.
Seven of the gang,' who hare been arrested
and had their examinations here, are in jail,
iu default of bail. Four others obk iued bail
and are at large. Two of the gang arc also
in jail in Bradford county, Pa. The whole
number arrested here aud iu Bradford county,
on Rutter's information, so far,: is thirteen.
Add Brown and Harper to the list." and the
number that he has already informed against
is swelled to fifteen. Other parties would be
arrested in this vicinity, but as Sheriff Welsh
had to leave for home, with llutter, thcoffioers
will be compelled to let the remaining mem
bers of the gang hereabouts have their free
dom for a short time to come.
John R. Harper, one of the Luzerne
Gang, recently arrested in Buffalo, and now
in Indiana jail, in this State is thus described
by the Elmira (New York) Advertiser, of
March 19th :
" On Sunday we visited this notorious char
acter in his room, atthe Brainard House, and
conversed with him most freely for more than
an hour. He is a larger man than Rutter,
and although but twenty-three years of - age,
is without doubt the most accomplished, reck
less and daring member of the gang. He is
a little above the medium stature, firmly and
compactly built, has a large and remarkably
active brain, a vigorous constitution, a " cold
stony eye " of a bluish gray color, a bold de
fiant manner, and every visible indication of a
shrewd, deep, smart, unscrupulous and deter
mined villain. .
We would do the fellow no injustice, but
after testing him by what little knowledge of
human nature we have picked up in the world,
we cannot resist the conclusion that the com
mission of crime is as natural with him as the
drawing of his vital breath"; and that nothing
but a lack of opportunity can keep him from
it. He has been connected with the gang for
about five years, and has, without doubt, done
more service of a daring and dangerous na
ture than any one of the band. Instead, how
ever, of showing any remorse or shame, while
detailing some of his exploits and narrow es
cape?, he seemed rather to glory in his deeds.
When the officers told himrthat he was' a
"goner" at last, he made bold to tell them
not to bo too sure of their game, as he had
been through many a tight place before, and
would give them fair warning that they might
yet, as in the case of the Paddy's flea, go to
put their hand on him and find him not there.
Among other things, he stated that when,
through the assistance of Rutter, Brown and
Green, he broke jail, in Iudiana Pennsylvania,
he was taken out through a hole between bars
of iron but eight and a half inches wide, and
ten lovj. He had to be drawn through feet
foremost, with his arms raised above his head,
and by the united strength of these three
strongmen. It was such a "tight fit" that
the skin was badly scraped from his sides and
shoulders, and the breath of life, for the time
being, pressed out of his body. When he
came out at last, the
party all went down in
a heap, "pell-mell"
together, and he was
nearly dead. " lie soon recovered, however,
and the party made off with all possible haste,
leaving, the tools, ladders, c., behind. ' To
show his natural recklessness and villainy, we
may add, that according to his own story, he
broke into a farm house in less than an hour
after his escape, to steal a buddIv of provis
ions for his journey, and on being suddenly
confronted by the proprietor, while drinking
from a milk jar in the house, he dashed the
jar, milk "and all at his head, knocking him
down, and then escaped over hi3 prostrate
and bleeding form. ' V
- Before leaving he made a confession, with
reference to the alleged crimes of the "an? in
this vicinity, iu which, he fully confirmed (so j
far as he knew) the statements made by Rut
ter, and expressed himself s reudy-on his
return to Pennsylvania to make a clean-breast
of it, and " disclose the truth concerning the
whole gang. Ills principal reason for this is
'that several of this number, besides Kutter,
have given information which has led to his
arrest. One man by the name of Gibbs, in
Buffalo, had been bribed by the officers . for
:i0, to direct them where he might be found
A commission will probably be sent from here
to take his testimony, under oath, unless it
should be deemed best to bring him here to
testify iu connexion with Rutter, when those
under ariest are placed on trial.
Wc have some charity and hope for Rutter
but none whatever for Harper fully believ
ing that nolbiug short of -States prison will
be sufficient to protect the community from
t uch depredations as have been engaging his
attention for the last five years. We doubt
not that he will soon find himself in the insti
tution allrded to, (unless lift escape? from
jail,) as he stands no possible chance of a
pardon in Pennsylvania.
