no oHuuKij suspected tuat all was
not right. They secured aoveral
meals, however, and tonk 1 il n Miami
away from the hotel, aa tha U
and others think, for the purposo of
leeaing a fugitive. The landlord re
fused to give them any more food
and demanded pay for what he had
given them. The would-be detec
tives said they were naid bv tha l
and had to go to Middleburgh to get
meir money. Adama says he left
his watch as part pay and left the
hotel. On Monday of this week
Landlord F. W. Thomas, swore nut
a warrant before N. C. Gutnlhia .r
P., at Kreamer, for their arrest ou
three charges. (1.) False
(2.) Aiding a Fugitive from
(3.) Obstructing the Execution of
Legal Process. The warrant was
placed with Wm. Gilbert, the
stable of Middlecreek township,
wno, on account of sickness, depu
tized Allen Kreamer to act iu hia
place. The constable found youug
Adams over near Winfield hauling
props for Mr. Darlington, the Read

who made wash machined whenever
he could get a job. He has 3 or 4
smaller brothora that must be look
eu after and Charles through his
teara sobbed and sighed for their
welfare. If only he was out again
to earn money to pay the rent and
live over winter. He had been ped
dling water melons and threshing to
earn money. Walker does not seem
to be a bad character and evidently
his greatest crime is traveling in
bad company and acting under bad
advice.
THEIR RELATION TO THE MURDERER'S
MOVEMENTS.
This arrest is looked upon as an
important one and mar fi crura an a
clue in locating Charlie Adar lia. tha
gay bird who is charged with the
murder of his aunt. The murderer
is believed to be staving on tha Kaar
Berlin mountain and switching over
to Kreamer occasionally. It 14
thought that the murderer was in
the vicinity of Kreamer the day that
.Uim Adams, (nicknamed Doc) aud
Charlie Walker were there. Tt U
said that at that day three men were
seen along the woods betweeu John
Bickel's and Kreamer. One of tham
had a satoheL This so aroused some
of the citizens that a number of
them armed themselves and scouted
through the wood armed with ritltM
and revolvers for a whole day, but
found nothing. This is a niece of
detective work that would probably
not be sanctioned by the Regulars.
Just what can be fouud out from
these about the location of Charlie
Adams is not yet known, but if
Walker saw Adams at all ou that trip
to Kreamer or at any other timt. it
is believed ho will confess. As to iret-
tiug any information from Bird
Adams concerning the whereabouts
of his brother, there is as littl hope
as getting rain ou the desert of
Sahara.
RUMORS GALOKE.
All kinds of rumors are alloat con
cerning the movements of the alleged
murderer Adams. Lust week, it is
said, he waa seeu by at least 50 peo
ple near Cape May. He ia said also
to have bee a setn at New Berlin
within the last week. The story runs
that Adama coinea home at niirht
every week or ao and that his moth
er prepares a special meal for him
and he again escapes to the moun
tain. If these stories are true, either
the detectives on the case are no
good or Charlie Alias Frank Adama
ia too foxy for the detectives. But
wherever Adama is, we believe that
if Walker knows anything about the
habits and dans of the fugitive mur.
derer, he will confess and give at
least a clue to tracing him up. As
to the two prisoner in jail, even if
they actually carried food to the fu
gitive, we do no. believe they will be
found Kuiltv of anvthini? but tha
first charge unless Landlord Thomas
has evidence he has not yet disclosed.
