They never 'seized' him. He surrendered his forces to the Union Army at the Appomattox Courthouse (which is now a historical park... the current Appomatox Court House was built in 1892) approximately three miles east of Appomattox, Virginia.

Ulysses S. Grant.

There wasn't much seizing. Lee surrenderedwith dignity. Grant recognised that it was a historic moment, calling for noble attitudes, and he gave lenient terms of surrender.
