FUGITIVE IS CAUGHT
Man Wanted for Assaulting Wife Arrested at the Depot

Lawson Mallory, a colored man who has been wanted for some time by the officers to answer a charge of assault to murder, was placed under arrest yesterday afternoon by Police Officer Crane at the union depot.  Mallory came into Denison with a big gang of Negroes who were to work on the railroad. Ordinarily he would have escaped without being recognized, but a railroad man happened to know him. The railroad man telephoned to police headquarters and Officer Crane soon had Mallory in custody.
It is alleged that Mallory had chopped his wife's head open, some time ago. The woman, though seriously injured, has improved and is now out of danger.  The charges against Mallory were brought into Justice Preston's court.
Mallory was arraigned before Justice Preston this morning, and waived preliminary examination.  He was bound over in the sum of $2,000.
