24 X, AMERICAN STATE TRIALS.

about 26th of February last,
about 11 o'clock, Couzins ar-
rived about 8 o’clock in the eve-
ning. Had no warrant for his
arrest; was not present when ha
was arrested. We first found
his name at Crestline, on the
Cleveland & Columbus R, R., on
a register. I was in Vincennes
two or three times. In going in
pursuit I stopped at Gould's.
Couzins was along. We found
at Gould’a a mame on a register
there, a name Mr. Gould told us
was registered by him. I don’t
think it was Worrell; at any
rate, if the name was Worrell,
it was E, C. Worrell and not EL
D. Worrell. We stayed there
some three or four days. After
I arrived at Dover I found Wor-
rell was stopping at the same
public house I stopped at. Met
bim several times in the course
of the afternoon. He was walk-
ing about, Don’t recollect see-
ing him talking with any per-
son. I heard, while there, his
parents lived in Dover. Capt.
Couzina thonght it advisable not
to arrest him immediately. We
had a man watching Worrell—
4 constable in Dover. Went to
the railroad to get hand ear, and
Couzins and others went to the
hotel to get Worrell. Think the
others were the deputy sheriff,
the policeman from Philadelphia
and also Mr. Wheelock went
along with them. Did not speak
to Worrell before his arrest.
Don’t know that Worrell, before
that, was apprised we were all
after him, Worrell did net then
say, that an hour before he was
arrested, he had information we
were after him. When Couzins
handed the watch to me at the
hand ear, and said it waa Gor-
don’s, Worrell did not make any

reply. In his subsequent remark,
“it was Gordon’s wateh,” he said
nothing about the watch paper.
When Couzins handed me the
watch he told me it was found
in Worrell’s vest pocket. He
said he found the eaddlebags in
the room, Never had seen pris-
oner before, but knew him from
the deseriptions we had of him.
‘The first mark I recognized was
2 pateh on toe of his right boot,
next by his military pantaloona;
his cap also answered the de-
scription which had been given
to us. Later met him and ob-
served his features closely. Saw
he had seara on his face, which
had been deseribed to us. I went
through Pittsburg on my trip.
From Vineennes went to Terre
Hante, Indianapolis, Cineinnati,
baek to Indianapolis, to Terre
Haute, Went back to Indianap-
olis, then back to Terre Haute,
then to Vincennes. Thenea
to Crestline, thenes te Pitts
burg, Harrisburg, thence to
Philadelphia. Captain Couzins
parted with me at Harrisburg,
and he went back to Baltimore,
and self to Philadelphia, I went
to Elkton, thence to Charleston;
then I returned to Georgetown
crossroads, a point I had passed
through, then to a place called
Millington, thenee back to
Georgetown crossroads, thence
to Surgena, thence to Dover.
‘When arrested he had a good
many rings on his fingers. We
had at several points beard him
described as a man wearing
good many rings, He had been
deseribed to us as a man: having
worn a very heavy beard, mus-
fache and all long, and whieh
is generally termed a pretty
beard, black, I first got that
description at Warrenton, We
