Mexican on the Run Arrested After Train Stop
Jose Alvarez a 34 year old native of Sonora Mexico is held by Steubenville authorities on charges of shooting to kill burglary and indecency following his clash with detectives on a Pennsylvania railroad train. Detectives aided by Pinkerton men traced him to Cleveland and recovered jewelry from two suitcases found on Alvarez. Authorities suspect he is part of a burglar gang tied to recent window break-ins in the area and hope his arrest clears several similar crimes.
