Cartersvllle, Ga., May 25.—After a chase covering a period of several months, during which he eluded traps cleverly set for hint by some of the picked men from the Pinkerton Detec tive Agency, and hundreds of other officers who were planning his arrest, R. I* Gamer, who is charged with em bezzling $40,000 from the Southern Pa- efle railroad, at New Orleans, yielded to his love for wife and his baby boy, and coming to this city gave the de tectives the clew to his presence by addressing paternal words of affection to his child. After waiting for more than two months in Cartersvllle, where they shadowed his wife and child, who were visiting relatives here, the Pink erton men were rewarded for their vigilance and faithfulness last night by hearing a strange voice upon the veranda or the home wher they knew Garner's child to be, and later the strange voice was heard to address the child as “my son,” and with other en dearing terms. The officers knew then that the chase was ended, and retired f<)r the night, after causing the house to be surrounded so that the couple could not escape. When Garner saw that his escape had been cut off, and that It m^bb impossible for him to again elude the detectives, he caused his rel ative, Will Bell, with whom he was ■topping, to parley with the officers and his arrest was effected yesterday afternoon at 4;30 o'clock. Committed to Jail. Taking him at his word. Deputy Sheriff T. W. Tinsley. Chief of Po lice Henderson, of this city, and De tectives C. E. Blsbee and G. W, Toble, of the Pinkerton bureau, went to the home of Will Bell, which Is located on the edge of Cartersvllle. and at shortly after 4 o’clock Garner surrendered to the officers, Deputy Sheriff Tinsley taking him Into custody and bringing him Into the city, where he was Im mediately committed to Jull by Justice of the Peaco George S. Cobb.

Mr. Setsc stated that he had loaned out sums un personal notes, and that many of these were now “bad debt*;” that revernl debtors had taken the bankrupt law. and that he had note to show for ull loans. He declared that a thorough investigation would show him to he blameless. Attorney James L. Key was asked for a statement regarding the Investi gation. but he declined to make any statement upon the subject. History of Company. The Firemen's Real Estate Invest ment Company was organised more than twelve years ago by members of the lire department for their mutual benefit. Shares were sold In the com- pany at 12.5# each, and no sale was made of less than four shares. Month ly payments were mads In a set of "series," nnd when one scries was closed another began. During the first four years’ series. It Is claimed that a net profit of about 23 per cent was realized and paid. The next four years" series showed a net profit, It Is claimed, of about 21 per cent. The last series of four years, on which the present Investigation Is being based, is to have paid the principal to ev ery stockholder, besides a dividend of ’ t" r cent on the four years’ Invest ment. It Is stated that at the does of the last series It was decided to close the affairs of the company and wind up tho business. One reason given is that the business was growing unwieldy. It Is alleged by atockholdera of the company that after the close of busi ness they asked for a statement of nnances and were unable to obtain n satisfactory report. They became more dissatisfied and after* some time em ployed an attorney to act for them. This resulted In the employment of an expert to Inspect the book* of Secret*, ry and Treasurer Setie.

While awaiting the officers who were to take him to Jnll, Garner was ap proached by a reporter, and asked for a statement, but he smilingly refused to say a word concerning his flight, his plans or the charges that had been mnde against him. He did not deny, however, that he was the man that was being sought, and seemed disposed to poke fun at the detectives, by telling them that they had made a very poor chase, nnd telling one of the Pinkerton men that he had conversed with him several times In regard to his own (light, and that the ofllcsr had not recognized him. This the officer smil ingly admitted, saying he had spoken to him at Rome, and did not then know with whom he was talking. Asked how long he had been in this section, Garner replied, "I do not care to discuss my flight. Ask’these detectives; there have been twelve of them upon my trail and they can perhaps give you some Infor mation. but It’e mighty little they can tell you about where I have been until I C *The prisoner declared that although ha was the man wonted the Southern Pacific railroad could not make a case against him, ami that the railroad would never be able to punish lum for the crlms that was charged against '''Almost since the commission of the crime with which Garner Is charged, Blsbee and Toble. of the Pinkerton bu reau have been In Cartersvllle shadow ing the beautiful wife of Garner, who came to this place to be with relatives while her little boy was 111 with an at tack of measles. It was thought by the officers that on account of her presence here. Garner would not be far away, and this conjecture proved true some time ago, when Mrs. Garner went to Rome, Where It was planned that she should meet her husband. The meet ing proved successful, but as Mrs. Garner went Into her husband a room, in the Cherokee Hotel at Rome.- she discovered that she was being shad owed. and cleverly aided her husband In making his escape from his room by means of the fire escape. After helping her husband to escape from the Rome Hotel. Mrs Garner re turned to Cnrtersvllle, and haa been liv ing quietly with her cousin. Mrs. VS III Bell on the outskirts of town, seldom being seen upon the streets of the city. Her young brother has been with her a great part of the tlpie. and has been shadowed by the officers, who have seen almost every act of the young man and have scanned many letters that were passed to him at the postoffice.

Friday night he decided he ought to be baptised, and begged that a minister be summoned to conduct the ceremony. He wae hu mored, but the minister never came. Finally, after brooding over his baptism all night, the Insane man Saturday morning leaped Into the well, probably thinking Jie would baptise himself. The presence of Garner In this city was first suspected by the officers when Mrs. Garner packed her trunk and sent It to the depot, letting It be known that she | wns going to Visit Atlanta. Upon learn ing of her proposed visit, the detectives surrwinded the house of her relatives more closely, hoping to learn something of Interest, and It was as the result of this that they were rewarded by hear ing Garner address hls'tlttle boy as "my •on,” which brought about hi* arrest. At a late hour last night It wo* learned that Garner will not go with the officers to New Orleans until he Is forced to do so. He hae employed no attorney. Trunk Contained Papera. The trunk which was being ahipped to Atlanta, when Intercepted by the detectives, was opened and found to he filled with newepopera. It I* believed by the detective* that the trunk wa* being aent to throw them off of their guard while Garner wae preparing to leave for Savannah.

The battalion ot cadets from the Uni versity of Oeorgla, under command of Lieutenant Kimbrough, preeented especially pleasing appearance. Their soldierly bearing and the precision and rapidity with which they executed or ders elicited applause all along tho line of march. The Confederate veterans, marching with halting step under worn and tat tered Hags, which nearly a half century ago they bore to victory and defeat, constituted a long section of the parade. The veterans were all anxious to pay this last tribute to the memory of their peerless leader and all who were able to walk Joined In the line of march. A striking contrast to these battle- scarred heroes was presented by the young hoys of the grammar schools, who, with the battles of life yet to fight, marched with light and buoyant step. As they passed In review they were cheered repeatedly by the old soldiers. Upon reaching Mitchell street, the parade turned east and at the comer of Washington streets passed In review before Grand Marshal R. E. Park. The Gordon Institute cadets formed In two line* on Washington street and saluted the Confederate veterans as they passed by, after which the entire parade moved Into Hunter street and disbanded.
