Cheyenne , aboard the special train on which
they left there yesterday morning. The rnls-
Klon on which the marshal was sent was
BUcccfSful , and the leaders of the army who
took part In the theft of the train at Mont-
peller arc In custody.
Marshal Plnkhnm of Idaho was not so suc
cessful In his attempt to come to Cokevlllc ,
according to the arrangement , for the men
whom Marshal Rankln arrested. His sort'o '
resulted In Ignomliilota defeat. The Idaho
marshal organized his posse of thirty men at
Montpellcr this morning , nnd to avoid sus
picion the deputies were loided Into [ re ght
cars on the outskirts of the city. A message
was received from Superlnterdent Calvin of
the Idaho division at 2 o'clock p , m stating
that the 200 Commonwealens who remained
In Montpcllcr yesterday had learned what
was going on , nnd made n desperate charge
upon the train with clubs ami brick bats.
The marshal deemed It Inexpedient to fire
upon the mob , consequently his posse was
overpoweied nnd driven from the train. Sev
eral of the posse were quite severely Injured
by stones and other missiles thrown by the
mob.
mob.A
A report Jtist received states that \ the
Commonwcalers have started eastward with
the special train captured from Marshal
Plnkham at Montpcllcr , and uic running
wild over the Short Line division to Granger.
It Is the Intention of the court to punish
only the leaders of the movement In the
seizure of trains. All the men In the com
pany under arrest were put aboard the special
leaving Cokevlllo at 2.10 , but when Water
fall station was reached eighteen of the
men. Including "General" L. L. Schreffier
nnd his aides , "Colonel" Brccklnrldgo and
"Adjutant" Weed , were selected to remain
In custody of the marshal while the balance
were put off to "drill" across the country.
The men under arrest will be taken to Chey-
cnnne for trial.
HOW THE CAPTURE WAS EFFECTED.
GRANGER , Wyo. , May 14. ( Special Tele
gram to The Bee. ) General Shefller. the
leader of the army which captured a Union
Pacific train In Idaho , was placed under ar
rest at Green River at 12:30 : a. m. by Marshal
Rankln. Ho was found at the Big Horn ho
tel , ha\ng ! arrived on the afternoon passen
ger train from the west. Shefficr produced
first class ticket from Portland to Kansas
City and denied that he had violated any
of the rules of the Union Pacific company or
any of the laws of the country. lie Insisted
that the Commonweal army was not under
his command , but declined to discuss the
facts pertaining to the capture ot the train
at Montpeller.
Marshal Rankln placed the prisoner aboard
the special and will take him to CoKcvllle.
Shefller was evidently endeavoring to ascer
tain what the prospects were for Jils army
to capture another train.
COKEVILLE. Wyo. . May 14. ( Special
Telegram to The Bee. ) The Union Pacific
special train with United States Marshal
Rankln and posse aboard arrived here at 6
a. m. Forty-three members of the Common
weal were found occupying the seven box
cars on which they arrived yesterday. They
were all Ut once placed under arrest by the
marshal. No resistance was offered. In
fact a majority ol them .appeared to bo some
what pleased , believing as they did nt that
tlmo that they would be taken on to Chey
enne. GOO miles nearer their destination.
All the chief officers of the army are se
cured. They are , T. Colehan , Colonel R. B.
Breckenrldgo , chief of commissary , and R.
T. Weed , adjutant. It was a disappoint
ment to Union Pacific * officials that more
men were not captured , but the leaders ex
plained that over 200 ot their number
weakened nfter the engine nnd cars had
been secured at Montpeller yesterday , leav
ing but forty-three to bring the train
through.
The men captured today are known as
company II of the Portland division , which
originally numbered 750 men. When they
wore discharged after their arrest at Trout-
dale , Ore. , they scattered out In squads and
are now nt various points between hero and
Iluntlngton. Soon after the arrest of the
Commonweaters Marshal Hankln received In
formation that United States Marshal Pink-
ham of Idaho and posse were coming on
board a special with warrants to ixl.o them
back.

HASTINGS , Neb. , May 14. ( Special Tele-
Eram to The Dee. ) The Industrial army
regiment commanded by Bennett and Gan
non moved on today , after having success
fully defied the police authorities for nearly
three days. The command proceeded partly

WASHINGTON , May 14. Reports of n
disquieting nature were received today by
Attorney General Olney respecting the law
less acts of various "armies" of Coxeyltes
In the west In seizing trains and Interfer
ing with the malls. The attorney general
consulted the secretary of war , and It was
decided to adhere to the line of policy pur
sued last week. While general Instructions
had been sent to the military commanders
In the troubled districts to give all lawful
nnd necessary assistance to the officers of
the United States courts In repressing these
outrages , It was felt proper to send specific
Instructions today to General Otis at Van
couver barracks and to General Brooke ,
commanding the Department of the Platte ,
to take acthe steps to hold off the ma
rauders in their districts , acting , of course ,
ns auxiliary to the United States marshals.
The Instructions had special reference to a
party that seized n train of the Oregon
Short Line , to one at Spokane and to the
Union Pacific train seized near Cheyenne.
Lute In thu day news came that the last
named tr.Jn had been released by the mar
shal's deputies , and that the leaders of the

WASHINGTON , May 14. The Common

Bladen'sburg , a village famous for duels
years ago. Prompted by the protests of the
Indignant citizens of Hyattsvllle , where the
camp was pitched last week , the army today
crossed the eastern branch of the Potomac
and pitched Its tent In the large yard adJoining -
Joining the George Washington hotel. Mr.

going to stay right In Bladensburg unless the
Industrials become so numerous that we will
not have room for them at our new camp
ing spot. In such a case wo will have a
rendezvous camp on Dr. Rogers' property
that we moved from. If any trouble occurs
while the Commonweal Is In Maryland It
will all be one-sided nnd wrong-sided nnd
the entire responsibility will rest upon the
Marylanders. "

Teller Impresses > j inpatliy for Coxcy.
PUEBLO , May 14. Senator Teller , In a
letter to n citizen of this city , expresses
sympathy for the Coxey army now In Wash
ington and declares the arrest nnd trial of
Coxey , Browne nnd Jones was a farce , and
concludes asi follows :
"It Is difficult to know what to do with
these people , -who are hero In distress with
thousands ot others , through no fault of
theirs , They know that there Is something
wrong somewhere and that there ought to
be n remedy , nnd can think ot no other
except what congress can gl\e. I myself
believe the present dreadful condition of
our laboring and producing people Is the
direct nnd Immediate result of bad legisla
tion already on our statute books and other
that Is threatened , but I have no hope ot
Immediate legislation that will give- the re
quired relief. What will happen In the near
future I cannot see , and believe for my
peace of mind It Is well I cannot. "

GATHERING STATISTICS OF WAGES
Operator * Dlxldcd im tlio Question of Con

Holler * from Ilm Plttnlmrg Con
tention Coming In ,
CLEVELAND , May 14. Delegates have
been arriving In this city all day to attend
the miners' convention today and the con
ference which takes place tomorrow at the
Chamber of Commerce between "the miners
and operators.
The miners' con\entlon was called to
order by President John McOrldc In Dank
street hall with about 200 delegates present.
A commltteeo was appointed composed ! of
one or two delegations from each district to
hear reports from the various mining sec
tions represented , In regard to/ any griev
ances and as to what action they desire
taken In regard to the scale. After trans
acting some unimportant business the con
vention adjourned until 2 o'clock.
U has been said that the operators have
been Insisting right along that their men
are willing to work for 55 cents a ton If
they could be assured protection , but from
the tone In which the miners now here are
speaking It Is apparent that they are not at
all willing to return for the same wages.
Secretary P. J. Me Drlde voiced the senti
ments of a good many delegates when he
answered a suggestion as to a compromise.
"No , sir. " he said , "we did not come hero
for a compromise and thus far we have no
such word In our vocabulary. Nothing
short of what we ask will give the miners
living wages and for that we contend. Wo
can hold out for three months , but wo have
no desire to do so. For that reason we
came to this conference. "
Mr. McBrlde would not for a moment con
sider the effect of the settlement In differ
ent localities without reference to what Is
done elsewhere. "The only condition under
which work will be resumed , " he continued ,
"Is a settlement for all the states , as was
originally announced. "
The declaration means that the miners
and the operators of the Plttsburg district
are as far apart as possible. The latter de
cided at their conference In Plttsburc on
Friday that they would not participate In
the convention to be held here , and further
that they would settle with their men with
out consulting the olllcera of the United
Mine Workers association.
The feeling of Indepenuence manifested by
the miners yesterday and In their small
caucuses early today does not appear to Indi
cate a settlement without friction. A num
ber of the delegates said that the confer
ence would be of very short duration If the
operators Insisted upon compromise. The
operators of mines In the Ohio fields have
all along signified their willingness to make
a settlement with their men through the
national organization and I'ltUburg men are
not backward In asserting that the Ohio
operators are backing the strikers , hoping
that the miners will force the Pittsburgcrs
to pay a rateof 75 cents , which will gl\c
the Hocking valley and Jackson operators a
differential of lll cents a ton In their favor ,
9 cents being on the mining rate and 2l
cents on the freight rate.
PITTSnimO. May 14. Representatives of
thirty-four railroad coal companies In this
district met hero today and decided to go to
Cleveland tonight , for the purpose , if possi
ble , of effecting a settlement of the coal
strike at tomorrow's convention. They will
not be guided by the action of the river
operators , and will use their Influence to
secure a uniform mining rate.
The afternoon session was an executive
ono and was held behind closed doors. So
far as could bo ascertained the meeting was
entirely harmonious in every respect. Presi
dent John McBrlde , when asked by a repre
sentative of the Associated press as to the
probability of n compromise , said : "I know
there has been something in the newspapers
about a compromise , but it has all come
from the operators. So far as the miners
arc concerned , they arei a unit In agreeing
that nothing less than the scale demanded
shall bo accepted. "
The delegates continued to arrive almost
hourly throughout the. day. Headquarters
have been established at tfie Bethel hotel.
President McBrlde today received a tele
gram from Klch Hill. Mo. , stating that the
miners In Rich Hill district were being rapIdly -
Idly organized.
Nothing of importance was accomplished
at the afternoon session of the convention
and It was decided to hold another session
In the morning , nt which the scale com-
mttteo will make a report. Each delegate
who is a member of the committee will
state the rate of wages paid In his district
before the strike and at present. These re
ports will be taken down by the secretary
and will form the basis for the scale which
will bo presented to the operators. The
twelve bolters from the Plttsburg conven
tion , who declared they would not attend
the convention , will reach the city late
tonight , and It Is claimed by a man who
claims to know that they will try to prevent
a settlement. Thirty-four other prominent
Pennsylvania operators will go into the con
ference with a determination to abide by Its
decision. It is utterly Impossible to predict
the result tonluht. _

evicted famMlcs. .
CONNELLSVILLE , Pa. , May T4 The only
change In the strlko situation In this section

DES MOINES , May II. Tht | principal
mining camps of the state seem on the
border of n strike. It will require some
effort to get the miners here out ,
as work has been slack nil winter and the
miners are In poor circumstances for n
strike now , but they' ' may go out In sym
pathy with other camps , and it now seems
very probable that In the event of a strlko
throughout the staid 300 In this district
will go out.
KED , la. , May 14. The vote taken Sat
urday by the miners cm the question of a
strlko was close and another meeting was

fifty Carbona miners marched Into town

LEXlNf.TON , May 14. The bi-st po.ple of
Lexington and Fayette county , Including sev-
era-1 hundred ladles , turned out today to the
antl-Brccklnrldgo meeting at the opera
house. The meeting , from a standpoint of
morality , was a tremendous success. The
opera house was filled and 500 people were
turned away. Prof. J. W. McGar\ey , an
eminent minister of the Christian church ,
was the first speaker , and he showed Colonel
Brecklnridge up In no favorable light. Ho
held that It would be it disgrace to the dis
trict , to the state and to the country to re
turn such a man to congress , and closed hU
speech by a strong appeal to the young men
to vote against him.
The other speaker was Judge M. J. Dur
ham , who denied Colonel Drecklnrldgo was
the only man In tho'dUtrlct who can repre
sent It In congress. The speeches were both
well received and made a good Impression.
Resolutions were adopted denouncing Breck-
Inrldge's morals and calling on the good
people of the district to rise up In their
might and vote against the silver-tongued
persuader. But when Henry C. Clay got up
und offered a resolution not only denouncing
his morals , but asking that Senator J. S.
Blackburn bo asked tq obtain leave of ab
sence from the senate and come homo and
from the rostrum speak against Breckln-
rldge , the audience. went wild. The cheerIng -
Ing was deafening , and It was plain to any
observer the BrecHlnrldge boom started by
the sllver-tonguc'd hlralelf , a little more than
a week ago , was badly strained , If not
broken.
The following are th * women's resolutions :
Whereas , W. C. IV tflrecklnrldfie has an

LISBON , May 14. The staff of the Brvll-
Ian legation In this city has been withdrawn
and diplomatic relations between Portugal
and Brazil have been broken off.
This rupture of diplomatic relations Is the
direct result of the action of the Portuguese
naval commanders In Rio In affording asylum
to the Brazilian rebels. When dii Gaina
abandoned his fleet In the harbor March 13
last he took his followers aboard the Portu
guese men-of-war Mlndcllo and Alfontu de
Albuquerque , where they were sheltered.
The Brazilian government preferred a de
mand for their surrender , holding that as
the refugees wcro taken aboard the Portu
guese vessels within territorial waters they
could not claim asylum and should be sub
mitted to trial by the Ini7lllan ) courts. The
Portuguese commanders refused to surrender
the rebels and the next day sailed away to
the River Platte. The refugees were the cause
of much trouble to their hosts , for after
EOino ugly complications with the Uruguayan
authorities , growing out of the violation of
quarantine regulations , the Portuguese com
manders permitted a number of refugees to
escape on nn Argentine vessel. They were
recaptured , but this Invohcd the Portuguese
in a dispute with the Argentine go\ eminent ,
the result of which was that they wert
obliged to glv.o up their prisoners , who ut
last obtained liberty on Argentine soil.
Meantime Brazil had not abated her claims
and insisted that Portugal must return the
refugees. Clearly this could not be done , and
the result Is a rupture between the parent
country and Brazil. What the outcome will
be cannot be predicted.

MINISTER OF FOREIGN RELATIONS.
Minister Mendonca when seen today
avoided n discussion of the future course of
his government. A rupture of diplomatic
relations Is sometimes tantamount to a
declaration of war , but It Is scarcely likely
tq be so serious In this case. It Is difficult
to see hpw the Portuguese government can
conciliate Brazil , although this might be ac
complished by the surrender of Admiral da
Oania , who Is reported to be onroutc to
Portugal , and an ample npjlogy. Portuguese
pride , historical In Its obetlnncy , vlll
probably stand In the way of anv such con
cessions and It is more probable that the
two nations \vlll continue. , to stand In an un
friendly attitude toward each other until

LONDON , May 14. It Is officially an
nounced that Rt. Hon. A. J. Mumlella , pres
ident of the Board of Trade , has resigned.
Mr. Mundella , Sir John Gorst and Sir
James Fcrgusson were recently summoned
to appear before the queen'sbench division
of the high court of justice for examina
tion as to the affairs of the defunct New
Zealand Land company , of which they had
been directors. Mr. Mundella stated In
court ho had resigned from the board of
directors when he was appointed to the pres
idency of the Board of Trade. At that time
he had 530 shares of the company's stock ,
which he subsequently sold. He denied
that he had ever assented to the Issue of
any misleading prospectus , but he admitted
that he had given his assent to the declara
tion of a dividend , although the fiscal oill-
cers of the company excected a deficit of
347,000.
The admissions made by the directors at
the examination caused severe strictures
to be made upon the men. The Times to
day says : "A very grave public scandal
has been terminated by the resignation of
Mr. Mundella. Wo regret that a. useful
official's career has been ended in so melan
choly n manner. "
Mr. Mundella has written a letter to his
constituents In which he says that he re
signed the presidency of the Board of Trade
because ho was anxious not to cripple the
machinery of the department. If he had oc
cupied any.other post under the government
this reason would not have existed and he
would simply have challenged criticism of
his own acts. Mr. Mundella , who represents
the Brlghtslde division of Sheffield , will seek
from the electors nn expression of their re
newed confluence.

Republican SetmtorH I'all to Agree on Plans
for righting Cbu TitrllT Hill.
WASHINGTON , May 14. The republican
members of the senate- * were In caucus nt
Senator Sherman's from 8 o'clock until ten
minutes to 12. The caucus partook more
of the nature of nn Informal conference
than a business meeting , nnd while it was
called with the purpose of arriving nt n
conclusion as to the method to be pursued
by the republican party In the senate. It
closed without eliciting anything In the way
of a party declaration. There was no vote
on nny proposition whatever , and the pro
ceedings consisted of a large number of
speeches.
There were about twenty-five of the
thirty-seven repuTHIcan senators present ,
and every ono had , something to say In tha
course ! of the evening. There was a great
divergence In views. Of course the ac
counts of the meeting agree that while
theru were probably twenty speeches , most
of them of course brief , no two of them
were on the same line , or'udvlsed the tame
manner of proceeding There was no agree
ment except upoino ono point that the bill
should be beaten If possible. On general
lines the greatest OUergenco of opinion
was on the ability ot the republicans to
beat the bill at nil , nnd while there was
no formal division which would permit ot
counting , the caucus appeared to bo about
evenly divided In sentiment on this ques
tion. A statement that eastern senators
were favorable to a continuance of the op
position on the lines which are now being
observed , and that western senators are
opposed to any effort to secure delay for
delay's sake would be In n general way
correct , but there wore exceptions on both
SlUCfl *
i
Senators Aldrlch , Chandler , Fryo and
others contended that the. bill could bo de
feated and said that nil that was necessary
to demonstrate the correctness of this as
sertion was to give the democrats time to
widen the- breach which they asserted now
exists. Some of them declare four or live
democratic votes could bo counted on as
opposed to the bill , while ono of thobe pres
ent wenWso far ns to say ho was assured
of the opposition of at least seven demo
crats. No names of democratic senators
were gl\en. however. The opposition ele
ment contended there was no positive assur
ance of nny democratic support In opposi
tion to the bill and that the only means of
testing the truth of the rumors of demo
cratic dissatisfaction was to let the voting
go on.
There was much talk as to the general
demerits and inconsistencies of the bill and
some of the sliver senators did not fall to
call attention to the lack of sympathy
which had been displayed by the republicans
when the silver repeal bill was up last fall
and to Intimate they had no desire at this
time to heap coals of fire on the heids df
the element In the partr at this tlmo by
doing kindness In return for what they
termed Inconslderntlon.
There was also an exchange of views on
the policy of the republicans voting for the
democratic amendments to ' { ho bill , but the
only agreement reached upon this point
was for the present to allow Individual re
publican senators to act in accordance with
their own Inclinations.

heroic efforts of the citizens the house wan
saved , though the furniture and library of
Rev. Tuntll wab greatly damaged. At
about 0 o'clock the flro was under control ,
The llro was undoubtedly the work of
an Incendiary. A searching Invcttlgatlon
will probably be had. Owing to the destruc

C. A. Sweet It Is Impossible at this time to
give the names of the companies which
carried the risks on the property destroyed.
The losses arc as follows : Thomas Bell ,

AUI1UKN' , N. Y. , May 14. ( Special Tclei
grain to The Dec ) "Dink" Wilson , tlirf
Omaha desperado , was electrocuted In tha
state prison nt 12 U p. in. today for thu ;
murder of Detecthe Harvey of Kjrncui-e.
Wilson slept last nlglit from 12:30 : to 4
a. in. Ho refused almost all tlio breakfast'
set before him this morning. Ho handed !
the warden a statement for publication !
which was merely thanks to the warden !
his family and tils lawyers , and expressed ]
the hope that his family would see thnt (
his Auburn lawyers were compensated for
their services. Ho spoilt the morning In' '
smoking cigarettes , walking his cell ana
writing a will , In which lie gave nwoy
various trinkets. '
At 11 o'clock Wilson finished writing ani
other statement , which ho gn\o Lawyer
McN'aughton with the request that It bo
withhold from publication for the present.
At 11.30 Warden Stout asked Wilton 1C
he wanted to see a clergyman. "Dink" re
plied that ho did not need nplrltu.il aid.
Then Wilson had his picture taken.
Wilson , when seen by The Bee repre-
sentatho , said ho was ready to tile , but hn
regretted the disgrace of his taking off. He
spoke feelingly of his mother and sister.
The twenty-seven witnesses arrhcd at noon ,
and ut the same hour dinner was provided' '
for Wilson , but lie only called for an orange
nnd a bottle of beer. That was his last meal
on cat Hi.
Hi : DIED GAME.
When the witnesses assembled In the death !
chamber at 12.35 the chair was tested by '
State Electrician Davis and worked per
fectly. Warden Stout then stepped Into tua
preparation room and soon the death pio-
cesslon came , with Dink second , nervy ami
stolid as ever , and with the old leer on Ma
whlti face. He took his icat In the chair
and began to talk. As the ofllccrs fastened
the straps and placed the electrodes , Wil
son said :
"I desire to say that the man confined In
Syracuse ( meaning his brother , Charles Wil
son ) Is not in nny way guilty of murder.
Ho did not In any way commit murder. Ha
Is perfectly Innocent of the charge against
him. "
- Wilson said this In a clear voice , but with
hesitation. When the work of fnstcnliiR
the straps was completed , ho added : "And ;
I have made a statement which Is In the
hands of my attorney. It Is true In e\tfvj
sense of the word. "
As the prisoner pronounced the last words
the current was turned on. It was Just' '
12 44 o'clock. There was but one contact !
and that lasted but one minute. Then the ]
physicians pronounced Wilson dead. The
body will bo burled In the prison yard.
DINK'S DYING DECLARATION.
Late this afternoon " " '
"Dink" Wilson's lasfc
statement was gl\en out. It leads :
"AUBURN , May llth , 1804. I deslro to
make as my dying statement as follows : ]
That Charles if. Wilson , other\\is2 known !
as Ooorgo Calhuun , his real name being
Charles F. Wilson , and he Is my brother , '
and who Is Jointly Indicted with mo for the
killing pf Sir. James Harvey , Is entirely. !
Innocent of the crlmq. Ho Is not the man'
who was with mo at 'tho time said Harvey '
met his death. L. II. WILSON. " i
This statement created a sensation. Oix
"Dink's" tilal fifteen1 witnesses , both for , '
the people mill defense , positively Identified , '
Charles Wilson , Persons who know most1
about the case declare Dink's statement la
a falsehood. Charlie's trial will be culled nt
once , and people are now wondering what Ills
defense will be. Dink's defense was that
Charllo did the shooting , and It has been
supposed that Charllo would turn about and
charge Dink with the murder , but Ulnk'a
last statement may change the entire plan ,
of Charlie's counsel.
The autopsy showed that Wilson's heart
stopped In the mlddlo of a beat , which dem
onstrates how Instantaneous death was. Ilia
heart weighed twelve and threc-fourtlm
ounces .mil his brain flfty-flve and one-halt
ounces. Ills body was well developed and
normal In c\cry respect , except one kidney ,
which was found In the pelvis , an unusual
condition , which existed before death.
Charllo Wilson was told that Dink was
dead and had exonerated him , but he would
not say u word to any one.
DINK'S cAiur.K : or CKLMI : .
Story of a Life Filled ultlilMI Dcedi lloru
for tint Gullouh ,
It was frequently predicted by people fa
miliar with their history that Lucius
[ "Dink" ) and Charles Wilson would wind up
their taiecrs on the scaffold. That predic
tion has come to pass In part , for today
Dink Wilson was electrocuted ut Auburn far
the murder of Detective Harvey In Syra
cuse on July SO of last year. Charles Wil
son Is In Jail at Syracuse awaiting trial 'far '
his part In the murder , and the Syracuse
olllccrs are confident that he will suffer the
'nto of his brother. The murder of Detect
ive Harvey last July was one of the most
cold-blooded on record. Ho had placed the
men uiului arn.Kt for robbing a safe uomo
time previous.
During thu month of July , 189. ' ? , the officers
n central Ntn\ York wcro greatly perplexed
over a number of daring safu robberies. The
Wilson boys then made ono of the leading
restaurants In Syracuse their headquarters.
Their iictlons aroused the suspicions of one
of the waiters , and he related his suspicion * *
to Chief of I'ollco Wright. On the morning
of July :10 : the WlUons went to this restaii-
tuiit , and , wiillu they were eating , thu waiter
telephoned to the police station. Dctectlvo
llurvcy was Kent to make the arrest. After
: he men worfthrougli eating the olllccr fol-
owcd them several blocks , and , as they were
close to the btutlon , ho attempted to plnco
them under arrest. Thu Wilsons drew their
evolvcrn and Charles knocked th * dctectho
: o the ground. As the oftlrrrVUH sliuggllng
.fj tegaln his feet Dink shot him through
the head killing him Instantly. There went
Tinny people on the streets at the time of
.ho shooting , but the desperadoes ran fur
the rlvor. Charles escaped by Jumping Into
the water , but Dink was raptured , und It
required the whole reserve police force to
ucvent the excited citizens from lynching
ilm on the spot. The prisoner refused to
talk , and It was nearly four weeks befor
any trace of Charles could bo found , "Dink"
we the name of George A. Barnes to the
Syracuse police. Chief Wright rent photo
graphs and descriptions of the. murderer o'l '
over the country , but It remained for Chief
) f 1'ollce Seavey of this city to furnish Mm
acts an to the , Identity of the prisoner. Thee
he New York police began looking for bin
Brother.
HOW THE imOTIIEIl WAS ARRESTED ,
Charles Wilson made hlH way to Buffalo ,
where ho wan arrested by Police Sergeant
Uahaney and Detectives Coghlln and Flynn.
