left Wilmington and ; was Igone.'lprob&bly
about t we weeks, when it was .ascertained
that - he had. again returned. - .Sergeant
Davis, of the police force, received in
formation to this effect, and 1 sq informed
Chief Brock, who instructed 3 bim' 'to
write -to- the sheriff of- Columbus for the
-necessary papers for, his. arrest. Tbis was
pp the : 14tb f of A piil. i:On Ibe 16th he
received capias , from 'Mr. W.-W. -Baldwin,
Clerk of the Superior Court- . In the
meantime Thompson had le.ft the city. :
He returned' two days afterwards, how .
ver; bni immediately left again.' .
The htxt time the Sergeant heard" from
ihe fugitive .-was; through a letter received
irom a Mr. Williamson, of Florence, 8.
C describing a man who. bad . robbed his
bouse of $350 in'gold and ' silver; while the
were at church on a Sunday. ' It
seems the man had hired himself to Mr. W.
as a laborer in a saw mill, and the latter's
suspicions had been aroused to-some extent
on account of his "employe's receiving let
ten addressed to axlifferent name, and had
questioned Thompson relative to the., mat
ter, who gave a very plausible explanation.
fie was seen to enter Mr. Williamson's
house by a window.'and wheh.Mr. W. re
turned he found that" a bureau drawer had
been opened, and a' purse containing toe
ram alluded to abstracted, which purse is
now in the hands . of the authorities here
for identification. As soon as the descrip
tion 'was read to Sergeant-Davis by tbe
Chief, the former immediately declared
that the thief and Thompson were one and
the "same person. : Tbe latter was seen
no more at Mr. Williamson's place, having
left bis beat suit of clothing there, and
about a week afterwards he again made his
appearance in Wilmington, staying, how
fever, only part of one day snd night, when
he again took bis departure. The' next
heard from him he was in Columbia, 8. C,
whence he proceeded to New York, where
he - was, ascertained to be about eight
or ten days, ago., . Sergeant . Davjs re
quested a friend of his, who was well
acquainted -with Thompson, to keep a
sharp lookout " for him, as he would
probably ' come "here by the way, of
Charleston or Savannah, and on. last
TQesday this friend reported , to the Ser
geant that Thompson was here, as he had
seen him. A search was immediately made
for him, but it was ascertained that he had
taken to the woods. The search was then
given up, and; Thompson was led to sup
pose that the vigilance of the officers had
been relaxed. On Friday evening Sergeant
fiavis got information that the fugitive was
with bur wife in the office of the late Cape
Fear .'Fibre Company. - He summoned to
his assistance Officers G. W. Green, James
W. Kendrlck, W. T. Williams and H.
Woebse and proceeded to the house . in
question' between 9 and 10 o'clock. The
building ' was immediately surrounded and
a demand made upon Thompson, who was
seen inside, to surrender, which he finally
did, and was taken tp the guard house.
Yesterday morning he was turned over to
tbe Sheriff and committed to the county
jail,' where he will remain until called for
by the authorities of Columbus
,-jWe learn that several warrants are out
for him for robberies he is alleged to have
committed in Columbus, , one of which
consisted of breaking open a trunk of a
gentleman living near WhiteviHe and steal
ing the Sum of $68 in money.
c Tbe prisoner's wife, who is a resident of
Wilmington, called to see him yesterday
and seemed to be much affected, declaring
that she knew nothing of the troubles into
which be had fallen. Thompson is appa
rently a young man, not more than 80 or 85
years of age, at the most,
