JAIL.

the Animal—And That There Wai an
Accomplice—Further Particular, of tho
Arrest.
W. D. MoNaughton la the name of the
man who made off with Capt, Smith’s
hone.
He was brought back to Americua yes
terday morning, Officer Feagln arriving
with the prisoner at 325.
The capture occurred about two miles
the other side of Albany. Sheriff E. B.
Martin, of Leo, aud Mr. W. D. I.lggin,
ox-marshall of Leesburg, started the
pursuit, and were joined by others. Po
liceman Barron, of Albaoy, joined In at
that place, and some, half a dozen were
In the crowd when the man was filially
captured. One shot was fired before
MeXaughton made up his mind that It
was time to stof
The capturcrs thought that there was
a reward out for the mau, and this
caused a good deal of altercation among
the parties. lie was finally carrieil to
Leesburg as has been state,!, from which
place he was brought here. Ito waived
preliminary hearing, and not being able
to raise tho bond, $500, was placed In
jail.
There a reporter saw him yesterday
afternoon. He is a smooth faced, young
looking man, and talked freely about
the matter.
“Yea, I am the man who took off the
horsb of Mr. Smith. Or rather, if I did
take him I don't remember the fact.
“I believe that another fellow took
the horse, and gave him to me. I got
terribly drunk that night and can’t tell
a thing about what happened. The first
I can recollect was when a passenger
train woko me up down by Smtthvllle.
I was lying on the ground, and the horse
was loose near me. I then Baw that I
would be arrested for stealing, and
thought tho best thing to do was get out
of the way as quick as possible. When
the fellows who were after mo fired,
some of the shot sprinkled on my bock,
and I stopped.”
MeXaughton then repeated the state
ment about having an accomplice. He
says one of the men, also working for
Mr. Smith, was talking to him about
leaving, and that evening they got drunk
together. He says he is sure that this
not tret clothing in my own fellow did most of the work,
nut _ The prisoner has written to his uncle,
W. J. MeXaughton who is now In South
Carolina, and who baa been doing work
in Amerlcus the past winter. He has
also written to another uncle in Augusta,
a druggist at that place. He says he is
sure his bond will be made as soon as
they got here.
“I may be a horse thief in name,” said
be, “but am not in heart. I conldn’t
shame the name of my family by such
doings."
