Hudson was found in the saloon of the foremost passenger car, and was taken into custody and examined by the conductor and baggage-master. On his person were found three letters, one addressed to Col. J. N. Morris, Washington, D. C, one to Henry Kellogg, Hartford, Conn., (both unopened,) and one to Samuel H.
