Maloney Took A Jump

Michael Moloney was wanted in nn Arbor on the charge of having valleed away with the contents of a Michigan Central freight car that stood in the yards in this city. Michael was in Toledo, and as he refused to come to Michigan without an invitation, Deputy Sheriff Peterson went down and extended that courtesy. He had in his possession several articles commonly worn by a gentlemen "of the first water." The authorities here had declined to issue a warrant for Moloney without a complaint of some one who had seen Moloney in possession of some of the missing property, so the officer went over and lypnotized his man and made him willing to overlook any little breach of etiquette like the lack of a warrant. Arriving at Ypsilanti, the prisoner, frora whom the handcuffs had been removed before starting, at the suggestion of the railroad detective, suddenly passed through the car and to the platform, and sprang off the train, which was yet at a high speed, andwasgone from mortal view. As soon as the cars were sufïïciently slowed to allow of a safe jump the officer sprang after his man, heard him pattering along on the stones and soon had him in his clutches. He had turned a few cartwheels in the dark and was yet a little dazed when caught. Citizens assisted in handcuffing him, for he had become ugly and fought like a tiger. ïle was brought to ja.il without further incident.
