The Evidence Points to a Number of Young Negroes, Who Were Driven Out of Millen by the Marshal, as the Villains Who Caused Engineer Starr’s Death. The Central railroad authorities have been making every effort to apprehend and bring the party or parties to justice who wrecked the train near Millen Wednesday morning, which resulted in the untimely death of En gineer Starr. SEVERAL ARRESTS MADE. There have been several parties arrested, and the authorities are confident that they have the right parties. One arrest was made here yesterday morning. The prisoner was sent to jail for safe keeping subject to orders from the train master of the Central road. A Daily Dispatch reporter learned at the trail) master s olhce this morning that as one of the freight trains had got a short way from Millen Thursday night the Conductor noticed a negro break the seal on fine of the cars and go inside. The con ductor immediately went to the car with a trainhand and locked the intruder up in the par without noticing who it was When the train reached Savannah the conductor palled Officer price, one of the Central's polipemen, and had the prisoner taken from the car and conveyed to the barracks. The prisoner, J. || Williams, was sent back to Millen on last night's train. The railroad authorities think that this negro knows a great deal about the wreck, aS it has since been stated that he was seen by parties near the switch about two hours before the accident occurred. At Waynesboro another negro was arrested : .« WW 1 one of the trainl evidence to show that he was impiica.cd in the wreck. TWO IMPORTANT ARRESTS. Mr. Abe thance of Perkins junction, where the wreck occurred, arrested 1 Martin Jones, aged j!j, who says he is from Savannah, and Will Griffin, aged 15, an old offender, and look them so Augusta, where they were [pcked up at the barracks, with a request from ' Mr Chance that they be separated and not al lowed to converse with any one. Mr. Chance refused to talk with any one on the subject, but says that he feels confident he has the right parties. He also says that if he gives out on what clew they are working that it may make it more difficult to bring the villians to justice. Two other negro boys ot the vicinity have been put under arrest and taken to Augusta under a strong guard. These boys are older than lanes and (jri|fin. There are two ntore Loys beating their way I.ere, and our police authorities have been notified to keep on the watch for them. Recently there has been a larye gang of these b:.vs hanging around Millan a:;J they Lere notified by the marshal to leave. I hey itavg been put off the trains several tunes lately by the crews. EVIDENCE STRONG AGAINST THE BOYS. ■- -irone evidence Mr. Chance has some very against the boys, that go to show that they m o kc the lock and then changed the switch, sis supposed that the UOyS cuinmdteu t> t e act for robbery and pillage. Mr. Chance and the railroad authorities can be assured pf the heartiest co-operation of Chief Green and liis ipeiy AT THE CITY COURT.

Last night i errv Holmes was found guilty of the murder ..t i-e Richardson. The jury recommended Holmes to the mercy of the court, which alone saved his neck from the i.angman s rope. The evidence, most of which was taken yesterday afternoon, went to establish Holmes’ guilt beyond a perad venture. The defense made the plea that Richardson was killed by the accidental ex plosion of the pistol in Holmes’ pocket Holmes’ statement in his own behalf was a smooth, plausible tale, and while it inter ested the jury and the audience, the neces- sary corroboration of facts that had been placed m evidence was not behind his storv and it did not go. ? ’ The grand jury returned the following in dictments yesterday afternoon: Willis P Pennington, assault with intent to murder W. A. Baggs; Virginia Riley, as sault with intent to murder Alexander’ Will iams, by dosing him with carbolic acid- I humas Jackson and Sam IT rter, assault with intent to murder Alexander Johnson; Thomas rogarty and Michael Drury, assault with in ent to murder Policeman A.

There is a ladder, on the style of the rope ladders used on vessels, at the police bar racks. It is an amateur contrivance, how ever, and it does not take long to find it out, either. The narrow pieces of wood on the ends and every few feet, intended, no doubt, for hand holds, were cut with a hatchet and placed in position without re tfaru for looks or construction. There is a good story behind this laddei and it may come to light at any time. For some time past complaints have been made to the police about things being stolen from the river front, along the wharves and on Bay police were instructed to keep a diligent look out for all suspicious characters, but those who have been doing the .. stealing appear to have been no less diligent in watch ing the police, and nothing was accomplished in the way of establishing the identity of the thieves. FOUND LYING AGAINST A HOUSE. Policeman Jernigam who was on duty on Bay street Monday night, saw a crowd of inay.j, i,H irur • i . them J'.cy ran oit. Tne ofr.Cei eonlaiucd un his beat down Ray street eastward Be tween Price and Houston streets he caipe across th: ladder in tuestibn. It wqs lying up against a house. This would seem to in dicate that an attempt had been madpor was abopt to be made tp enter the house. The ladder is fglly 13 feet long and will reach to the window of the first, story of any house. The officer carried the ladder to the bar racks, at which place it i. on exhibition, as a curiosity, with a history behind it Ihe thefts complained of are reported to have ceased, and it can be inferred that the thieves have caught on and don't propose to be caught napping. ONCE BROKEN UP UY WETHERHORN. About this time last year the same state of affairs existed, the only difference being that the offices on the gay we.tr entered anil rob bed; Life theives, it'was thought, got in their work in the day lime. The cq'sc was called to the attention of the police, and although Detective Bossell ran a few ot them, to cover, it grew from bad jo wqsf. |'he robberies were of’ -o pold a -hapctei that several business men employed Detective I ienry Wetherhorn to work the case For some time his labors were unrewaided In October, however, Benny Green,a young negro, was run to cover by Detective Weth ■ ...im charged him with a number of the O ‘robberies.
