I m--- CHARLESTON, SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1871. _ . , '; HUNTED TO DEATH. THE LATE EXPRESS ROBBEEIES OM THE MOBILE ASD OHIO RAILROAD. Correct Detail? of the Operation? of the Detectives Against the Robbers-Pur? suit, Capture and Death of Farring? ton, Chief of th?: Gang-A Short Chap, ter from the History of the Modern Murrell-The Efficiency of the Great Pinkerton Detective Agency. * [From the Memphis Appeal., December io.) There ls an Impression abroad that no ont over escapes who attempts to rob Hie South? ern Express Company. Th li is founded on the experience of years. That company make lt a point to bunt down thieves no matter what lt may cost. Levi Farrington is thc latest victim of this fearful Nemesis which no ver relaxes pursuit until death ur the law clutches in its inexorable grasp the being who is weak enough lo attempt to rob or embezzle ?their property. t Farrington had perpetrated many crimes Joefure he touched the expr?s*. It was his /fatality to rush against that rock, und upon it he split. The first time he was brought to the notice of Hie Memphis police was last spring when a gentleman Trom Augusta, Arkansas, saw Farrington on board a boat ut our wharf and sent for Captain Aihey lo have him ar? rested. He was brought lu the sialionhuu??*, as was also a hoi ne which he was biking with him to Arkansas. In a few days afterwards the horse was claimed by a gentleman from Tipton County, in this Sute, and Farrington was bound over in the sum ot two thousand dollars to answer to Hie charge of horse stealing, but subsequently got out on straw bail. Home gentlemen came here irom Mis sour] to seo if he was not Hie person who had Killed parties in that Stale. They looked at him through the bars of his cage and said, "No ; he is not Hie man ; it is his brother we are aller." Farrington made a da?h for liberty while being escorted irom the magistrate's office here tome jail, breaking away from the officer who had him in charge at thc corner ot Commerce and Main streets, and, after running two hours, had to halt In front of a high fence, and allow himself to be recaptured and led to Jail. Alter getting away from here, he immediately set about the perpetration of heavier robberies than any he had before participated in. He associated himself with mtiers, aod, no doubt, the brother was the leading spirit iu the busi? ness, as it appears that Levi Farrington, alias Clarke, was not hali so bad a mun as Iiis brother, who has not yet turned up. In July last the train was roboed at Moscow ?tallon, Kentucky. It was generally believed at the time that the Farrlugton gang were concerned lu the job. und again, in October, another train was robbed at Union City, and again the same clan were suspected. It was bn the evening of Saturday, the 21st of october, the latter rubbery was perpetrated. 3he train, as was lisna', was switched on the de-irack, and all hands, except one man, the guard, left the cars, to have supper at some distance from where the train rested on the side-track. The switching was done to ailow a clear through line lor a train which was to pass abor?, that time, going in a different di? rection. When the coast was all clear, two men jumped into the express car and told the guard to keep quiet at the peril of his ?ile, while others gel upon the engine and com? menced backing the train down the track. Pistols were held at the head of Mr. Thomas, the guard, and he was requested io hand out the keys of the safe, which he did. Themen wenl through Its contents, taking all the money there waa, amounting to about, intern hundred dollars. When they had secured the the booty, they signalled toe engine to stop, . and all hands got oil'and took to the woods. ?F As the robbers started the train, a negro man at the station notliled the engine driver and conductor ut their supper of what had happened, they started down the truck after the train, and'when they reached lt found everything ull right except Hie express car.,. The guard related the story, which wus so strange i hat il asl ul mied a i handy. On the engine one of the thieves lett u small suche', which contained a loaf ut baker's bread ?ind a piece uf barun. The authorities tx | .>? express company were nu'.illcd ol the altair, and in ?j shun Hine Hie superintendent, M. J. O'Brien, and the assislaut superintendent. Mr. Wurley, weic un tho ground, and hud made their decision what to do In the case. Pinkerton, ot Chicago, was sent for. and, in conjunction willi Put. Ouu neil, uf I Ms city, commenced op?rai ions, starling out with the mitchel mid its CHU ruis us a basis for operation. From Hie descriptiuu ul' the men, Connell suspected that ll was Hie work ul the Farring? ton family. In November they had truced Hie Furriiigio'is to a place called Leister's Land below Hickman, Kentucky, und ubmil -twenty mitt s from Union City. "Here the offi? cers went, walked into the house where lue thieves were in company with a number ol other men ot like kidney, and had a bold tight, but failed to capture Hie birds. Pinkerton and Connell got some scratches Irom pistol bulls in the encounter. The Fuiriogtons and Bar? ton, Hie other youth concerned in the adair, got away. Shortly after this, we published un account in the Appeal of the uiuvements of j the Farringtous, in which it was eluted that the mother of the family wus ubuut lo remove from Waverly, a station on the Nashville and Northwestern Railroad, to Texas. She had circulated that story, and it coming to the euro ot Connell and Pinkerton, they resolved to profit by thc information. They had by this time sur? rounded themselves wit h a good force. Two of their men were dispatched to Waverly lo make acqualuiaoce willi Mrs. Farrington. One of them hired with her as a teamster, and the oHier kepi hovering around to observe and to notify his chief what was going un. In this way they learned thul Mrs. Kari logion was nul hound lor Texas, but for Missouri, where she Intended to locate in the nelghor houd ol' her relations, at a lillie town culled Verona. Detectives were at once dispatched to Verona to watch lor Hie Furringtons. Con? nell and Pinkerton also went in dur?rent characters. Two of their men hired thein Pselves out as farra laborers to ihe uncle of the Furringtons. The thieves were truced lu their holes, und lhere surrendered on last Tuesday. Yesterday we received the following dispatch, which tells how well the plans ol' Hie officers were laid: ST. Louis, December 15. William A. Pinkerton und S. T. Gallagher, of I Pinkerton's Chicago Ootective Agency, aud Con? nell, of Memphis, left here last night for Union Oliy, Tennessee, having In charge Hillery Far? rington, alias Henry Hark, and William Barton, charged wli h robbing a Southern Express Com? ply messenger, by boarding trains at Moscow ad? Union City, on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, lani. July and October. These mon were arrested at Verona, on the Atlantic and rac I tlc Railroad, lr: the extreme southwestern part of this State, and were captured only after the houses In which they took refuge were securely barri? caded from the outside and then Bet on Ure. They are d-sperate characters, aad are charged with murder as well us robbery. Their arrest, it ls believed, will bave the effect to break up one of the worst gangs of desperadoes ever in the Weir. From this it is plain that there was a despe? rate struggle, and nothing short of the com? plete and effective means adopted by the ex? press company could have accomplished so desirable an object as their capture. Barton is an equally desperate character, but seems to have a greater love ol' life than Farrington, because he Is less experienced, and has brighter holies of the future than the others who found nothing but disappointment and missen- in this world. Barton was known usu brakeman on various rai: roads in I lils State, hut his bold spirit revolted against that slow way of makinr money, so he struck out and Joined the bun .. TUE Li r OF FARRINGTON". On the way froi J the scene o.' Hie capture to Union City, win re Hie prisoners were to be tried for their erl nes, Burton made u full con? fession to Pinkerton us to both the robberies, the ene at Mo*cov and the one at Union Citv; that is, he showed his willingness io turn State's evidence m Farrington. Parring!un became aware ol' his,, and grew desperate. Between CUTO an I Columbus, yesterday morning, while corni "ig down on Hie transfer steamer, he called Pinkerton oui on Hie guards, sa}lng lie hud something to communi? cate. Pinkerion bein;: a cautious ?ind wary fellow among such cha acters, carried lils pis? tol in his hand. When however, they gut on Hieguard, Farrington managed to snutcti the weapon from his hand and presenting lt ut his ?pad. said: "No\', you have nose the best ol me!" The detective saw the Inbles were about to be tun ed, so he lest no time, but closed willi his msailantat unce, ut the same time notifying Cc oneil to come to Iiis as-1 slslance. Connell was on the spot Just in HUH to seize ila* pi si ol a? ii exploded at i he head ot Pinkerton. Tho prompt manner ia which Connell moved, however, saved Pinkerton's lile-Hie ball grazing Iiis head, and the pow? der blackening his lace. Farrington continued lo struggle; he hud made up his mind for a desperate encounter. Ia the fierce flghl for | liberty, and life, perhaps, he was thrown over the girard, Ute wheel ol Hie boat struck him on the head, and lie was seen no more, lhere ap? parently being no r>pportauily for escape. Farrington'}* object may have been to wreak a desperate vengeance on his persistent captor, Pinkerton, who is recognised as the most dread? ed enemy ol such characters; but lt is more apparent thal Pinkerton, having Barton's full and unequivocal confession as lo the partici? pants In the two express robberies, besides murder cases ia which the Parring)ons were Involved, Farrington thought, if he could gel Pinkerton oui of Hie way he would yethuve a chance io escape the meshes ol' the law. As it If, he has only met a merited fate, and al? though by his' desperate attempt tue result deprived the gallows ol a victim, good citizens will rejoice at the result. The coolness and Intrepidity of Pinkerton anti Connell are lo bc commended. The express company lost only $1500 bv (lie robbery, but have expended over $5000 in the effort to hunt down tho thieves. Fl'RTUER PARTICULARS. At a late hour, last night, we received the dispatcli below, which confirms our Impres? sion thal Farrington'-* brother was ihe real bad maa In the whole business-the same that was wanted by the gentlemen who came here from Missouri lu search ol' him last summer. Here is the dispatch: lt was Hillard Farrington, alias Clark, who fell overboard in Hie scuiile with thc detective. Lev! Farrhigtou. alias Russell, waa captured to-day at Farmington. Illinois, after a nght, by Robert Pink? erton. Barton ls in Jail al Union CHy, Tennessee. The following di.*-patch was received last night through Hie Associated Press, and con? tinus the death of Farrington in thc manner s lated: CAIRO, December 16.1871. One of die men arrested tn the Indian Territory by Detective Pinkerton, on the charge of being connected with the recent cxpre-s robberies in Tenne-aee, made a daring attempt to escape this morning from the steamer Illinois whllo under way and wai drowned. He se zed Pinkerton's revolver, shot at and missed him, and then jump? ed overboard. Ile was eu route to Union City, the scene of the last robbery, In charge of Pink? erton. Dr jj ?ooo s aub Notions.
