Charles Robinson arrested for murder

Some of our readers may remember that three or four years ago a man named Charles Robinson killed a man in a bar-room quarrel at Bellevue. Robinson was a resident of Galena, where he had property; but after committing the murder, he fled. Last week he came back, evidently supposing the old affair had been forgotten, or would not be revived, but the officers were on the look-out and arranged to arrest him. On seeking for him, he was found laying a sidewalk in front of his house on Spring street. He made no resistance when arrested, but marched quietly along to jail.
