United States Marshal to answer to the writ on the following

following account:--The last act of the drama of the
fugitives was yesterday performed by the rendition of the
seven persons whose advent into the city, under the bloody
auspices of murder, caused such a sensation in the community.
After the decision of Judge Leavitt, Sheriff Brashears
surrendered the four fugitives in his custody, under a
_capias_ from an Ohio court, to United States Marshal
Robinson. An omnibus was brought to the jail, and the
fugitives were led into it--a crowd of spectators looking on.
Margaret was in custody of Deputy-Marshal Brown. She appeared
greatly depressed and dispirited. The little infant, Silla,
was carried by Pfc. Russell, the door-keeper of the United
States Court, and was crying violently.
