111 for several weeks ln Washington be?
foro ho returned to Waynesvllle last

?was In a Washington hospital, and when
It was scon how really scrJous his condi?
tion was it was suggested by his physi?
cian that ho go home and take a rest
from his congressional work. It was
thought also that the damp, cold weath?
er In the Capital was Injurious to him,

dry and healthy atmosphero to which

cuperate.
ILL FOR SOME TIME.

(Special to The Tlmcn-XHnpiitch.)
LYNCHBURG, VA.. February 5.?The
old adago about honor among thieves
seems to havo been entirely exploded
by tho a'ctlone of two young men. wrho
wero arrested here this morning. They
are William H. Begley, Jr., and Ernest
B, Bayllss, who claim' that they are
from Philadelphia, Theso young men
were arrested hero this morning charged
with stealing from William C. Adams, of
Philadelphia, eight hundred dollars ln
money and eight hundred and eighty
six dollars In checks. The etory of tho
events leading up to their arrest Is most
unusual. v
Begley and Bayllss arrived in Lynch?
burg from the North yesterday after?
noon and registered at Hotel Carroll,
Begley signing himself "Henry Halley".
and Bayllss writing the name "Ben
Castle," tho placo of residence ot both
being given as Washington, D. C.
According *o Mr. H. H. Henkle, night
clerk of the Carroll, Bof-ley came dovr?
from his room at about a quarter to
12 o'clock last night and stated that he
was going out, but would bo back In a
few minutes. Ho did not, however, re?
turn. At a fow minutos before 2 o'clock
Bayllss came down and Informed the
clerk that when ho awoke ho found tho
door of the room open and his com?
panion gone, and that ho had takon
from him $385 In money,' which ho had
ln tho Inside pocket of his coat.
The police were notified and later on
Begley -was found ait the depot He
agreed to return tho money, hut this
did not satisfy Policeman Doherty, who
inelstcd on placing Begley under arrest.
Castle returned to the hotel and was
about to retire to bed, when Officers
Doherty and Tyree walked in and soon
had him ln jail with his associate. It
seems that Begley, on his arrival at
the courthouse, had given the authori?
ties Information which lea them to ar?
rest the other fellow,
Begley and Bayllss, when brought to?
gether, gavo a complete narrative of
their actions. They said that they had
boarded with William C, Adams, a real

dred dollars in money and three checks,
one for eight hundred dollars, another

declared, they had sent batik. They left
