The End of a Horse Thief.
Vigorous Purs nit of Tom Wright by the
IF. & Police.
Desperate Resistance of the Culprit.
The Officers Slioot Him in Self Defeuce.
The Augusta papers, a few days since, contained a
notice of the killing of oud Tom Davis, who wa3 at
tne time In the act of escaping with a stolen hone.
This was a mistake. The man killed was a some
what notorious character of this city, by the
of Thomas Wright. The circumstances of his pur
suit, capture and death show the desparatlon of the
man, and exhibit In a highly creditable light the per
severing energy aud determined courage of Orderly
Sergeant Hover and Pi-lvate Jones, of the U, a. Po
lice, by whom it was accomplished.
PREVIOUS CAREER OF WRIGHT.
Wright was arrested in March last on suspicion of
being the person who set Are to the city about that
tune, and was confined in jail for three months.
After the expuatlon of ins term of Imprisonment he
was again arrested on a eUarge of assaulting, with
intent to kill, Mr. Jas. Mcßride of this city, but short
ly alter broke jail, from which time nothing was
known of uim untill the 26th of July, wheu a guard
was sent to arrest him as a Jail breaker. A was
seen to leave the house In which he was thought to
be concealed, and Sergt. Hover laid lu wait for him
an night, but did not succeed. In catching him The
next morning the robbery of Mr. O’Couner’a horses
was reported.
the PURSUIT.
When the news of the robbery was brought to offi
cer Hover, at the office of the U. 3. Police, he sprung
from his bed with the words, “That is Tom Wright!”
Bui a few moments were necessary to prepare for
the pursuit—starting npon horseback with a single
assistant, Joshua Jones, an enlisted man of the 30th
klaiue Vols., Hover had made eightecu miles upon
the Augusta Road before sundown. The next
moralug he wa9 within a mile and a half ot Sisters’
Ferry. The thorough acquaintance of the U. S. Po
lice with localities in and around Savannah and their
habitues enabled the officers to calculate with a great
degree of certainty upon finding some trace of the stol
en property at Gay lot’s, nearsisteis’ Ferry. The event
justified their suspicion. One of the stolen ani
mals had been traded off by the thelves for a buggy
and harness at Gaylor’s and had been left behind,
the fugitives pushing on In the buggy with a single
horse.
Pausing only long enough to give the necessary
directions for the return of the recovered horse to
the city, the officers were off again, and that night
sped eighteen or twenty miles, close upon the heels
of the flying horse thieves. Thus It was throughout
the chase. At every house along the road the pur
suers heard of the thieves. They were told that they
had passed some ten or twelve hours before “ A
stem chase is a long chase,” thought Serg’t Hover,
and with a readiness in expedients which stamps
turn as possessing rare natural qualifications for Ills
calling of detective officer, he stole a march upon
the fugitives, In this manner: From Waynesboro’ to
Augusta the railroad IS complete, and running a
dally train. At this point, as before, the officers
heard of their soon-to-be prizes, some ten hours
ahead. The contest between steam and horseflesh
Is not a doubtful one, and, without losing a moment,
the policemen left their horses and put themselves
aboard the cars for Augusta. They arrived at about
three o’clock on the afternoon of the 29th of July.—
So time was lost In finding a place where they could
he in wait for the thieves as they entered the city,
which it was Judged they must be rapidly approach
ing. They left the town aud came out upon the Sa
vannah road, a distance of one and a half miles,
taking up a position near a farm house. They bad
hot long to wait.
the capture
At about 6 o’clock In the afternoon, when Hover
and Joues had sat by the roadside a short three
quarters of an hour, the sound of wheels was heard,
and a few moments afterward the long-hunted team
appeared lu full sight ahd was at once recognized.
As it approached the officers, the well-known figure
of the Jail-breaker, Wright, was observed In ihe wag
on, and with him another man. The culprits did
hot recognize the detectives, however, they drove up
unconcernedly. But the sharp “Haiti” of Sergeant
Hover and the levelling of two revolvers, with un
uilstakeably good aim at the heads of the occupants
oi the buggy, brought the train to a sudden stop,
bright discovering that he had been cornered drew
a revolver and would have fired had It not been for
the interposition of his companion In the buggy, who
■wrested the weapon Horn him,
rot DEATH OF TOM WRIGHT.
The prtooere were then commanded to dismount
from the crrlage, which they did. Private Jonas
having wested Wrights revolver from him, Sergt
Hover ploed his revolver again in his belt, and
taking a ope from the buggy was about to bind the
arms of Jright. While he was arranging the noose
Wright Hrtmg suddenly upon Jones who was stand
ing by ©luting, his revolver, when Sergt. Hover
again da wing his revolver struck the desperate
man aWenti heavy Wows on the head with
the larrel of the weapon. Wright stag
gered back bleeding profusely and exclaim
ed, I’m killedt I’m killed.” At this Juncture the
hor» in the buggy took fright and started, when
Somrs the companion of Wright, who had stood
pasjvely by, went and secured the animal. While
priAte Jones went after Somers, Wright again as
su|»d a threatening attitude, when Sergt. Hover
cqled upon a citizen who had come up, to assist In
tying him. As they were about to tie him he sprang
Ike a cat upon the officer and seized his re-
»lver. Being pretty equally matched In
grength, a fierce conflict ensued, each holding on to
the weapon—Wright grasping it by the middle and
Hover by both ends. Unable to recover the pistol,
aid knowing his fate If Wright should succeed In
Treating It from him, Sergeant Hover called to Jones,
who came running up, to shoot him, which he
promptly did, the first shot taking effect In the neck,
and the second one entering the left temple, rang
ing upwards through the brain, causing|death after
a brief struggle. He never spoke after he was shot J
Somers, who offered no resistance, was taken to
Augusta and turned over to the Provost M*rah<d of
the Post. The body of Wright was taken to the city
in an ambulance and left in the Dead House, where
the usual coroner’s inquest was held.
The occurrence took place on the 29th nit, but
created no great excitement in Augusta at the time,
owing to the late hour when R become known. The
officers started from this city on Saturday, the 26th,
and returned here on Thursday evening, having
been seven days absent. Sergeant Hover Is Orderly
