ptftd them for burial. Arrangement ar
being made to tak tb bodies to Pittsburg
tomorrow morning. They will be In charge
of Sheriff E. R. Hooa.
At I o'clock thl evening the bodies of
the Biddies were removed from the Jail to
one of the hallway ef th sheriff's dwell
ing, and the public was 'given an oppor
tunity of looking at tb two'notorlou crim
inals. Hundreds of people had braved tbs
worst bllxcard of the year, besieging the
Jail doors for admittance, which was re
fused until this evening, when the doors
ef the dwelling house attached to the Jail
Were opened and all were given an oppor
tunity to gratify their morbid curiosity.
Late tonight a long line of people la
standing In front ot the door,' the bllxxard
blowing about their ears, each waiting his
or her turn. Noticeable among the crowd
Is the number of women to see, even in
death, Ed Blddle, who Is said to bsve
bad tuch a charm over the women when he
was alive.
Mrs. Boffel is reported to be having
hemorrhage from the mouth tonight at
the hospital and her condition Is not con
sidered favorable. The track of the bul
let wound In her breast runs close to the
pleura, and the doctors are not yet able to
tell whether the hemorrhages Is caused by
the wound or 1 attributable to some other
cause.
Since the officer, concerned In the fight
have bad time to cool oft a little there
seem to be a disposition to be fair to each
ether In the matter of the distribution of
the prise money, and an arrangement to
divide the $5,000 equally among the four
officer here, the driver, J. A. Snyder, and
the three Pittsburg deteot'ves, has been
praettoatly consented to by all the men, ex

Preach aa th Crime.
The pastor of nearly all the churche
In Butler today referred to the sensational
capture Friday of Mrs. Kate Boffel and
John and Edward Blddle, who died in the
county jail last night.
Rev. Father Walsh, rector of St. Paul's
Roman Catholic church, who ministered to
the Blddlea in their dyoc hours, spoke of
them to the members of b congregations.
He touched briefly on the.r statements
given out and said It was for every person
to decide for himself as to the guilt or
Innocence ot the men. When seen at his
resldcncs this afternoon. Father -Walsh
said:
"Besides the tit.vuiti given out by
the Biddie boys to iti uawspspers and
officers, both Ed apd Jsek Biddie made
confessions to me, Ed's wss made on
Friday night. There waa so sns present
but myself and Jack lying In the next cell,
Jack did not confess until yesterday. Their
confessions were full snd complete In every
particular and they will sever be revealed.
While ' ministering, to them almost every
hour after they were brought te. Jail, they
often would talk to me of bow they wers
wrongly accused of crime.
Desy CoaaailttlBB; Marder.
"They dented positively that they killed
Grocer Kabney ln Mount Washington, and
Ed told me In the most emphatlo terms that
he did not shoot Detective Patrick Fits
erald.
"The poor boys died like dogs, literally
r)ddled with bullets, and soms one should
be held responsible tor Inhuman action
In shooting them down when tbey were
entirely helpless, unarmsd and unable to
mak th slightest defense."
Rev. Samuel Cronin West" of Et Mark's
Evangelical Lutheran church, In hi Mr
mod tonight, spok at length of tb crim
inal history made In Butler county In the
past tew days. He crlticlxed severely the
woman, whom he held responsible for the
whole affair. He aaldi
The Biddies and Mrs. Boffel mads a vain
flight from Justlcs and retribution swiftly
came upon them. The blindness and in
fatuation ot this woman in leaving her
husband and helpless little children for a
gang of desperadoes la the worst criminal
act thus far in the history ot the twentieth
century." .
Dletalaea1 la Cbarehlr dark.
Wearing the garb of nuns of the Romas
Catbollo church, under the protecting wing
of which the condemned murderer had
found kplrltual rest, th Blddle and Mr.
Boffel bad resolved to make their 'escape.
It wts Mrs. Soffel'a plan, and the arrange
ment was. as soon a. the trio bad reached
A place of temporary safety, they were to
don the black robe, and veils as traveling
Slaters of Mercy. Tbey bad planned to
make tor aome remote mining place In
Canada, where they were to live together.
Mr. Soffel'a dead lover had told her that
be Intended to give up hie former nefar
lous trade and work In the mines with
Jack.
This statement was made to Dr. Brlcker
at the Butler hospital by Mrs,
Soffel, and waa confirmed by Jack Blddle,
Saturday. It wa not Jack's Intention al
ways to remain with hi brother snd hi
sweetheart. Whll Dr. Brlcker wa at.
tending the dispirited woman at the hos
pital shs ooadded thl plan of eecape.
Jack Blddle told Dr. Brlcker. before he
djd. that they were at a loss for some plan
to disguise themselves when tbey broke jail,
Thl problem was uniolvabls j them for
dayt. At last Mra. Boffel hit en thla means
for her lover and his brother. It was pro
posed to th condemned men only twe
week age. and that waa the only link in
their chain of flight that hsd sot been
forged, by the men.
Ed Blddle told Mrs. 8offl he had many
friends In Toledo, O., and in Micbigaa,
When once with them they would secure
some assurance of their future freedom,
With Mra. Soffel, Ed Blddle planned their
future as husband and wife.
Mr. BosTel Batter SatlsBea.
The thought that though the means wss
death, ahe had assisted her lover to escap
th scaffold, (earned to sooth Mrs. Soffel's
mind and wounds today. 8h remarked to
th sttendanta ia the hospital that she had
accomplished bsr purpose and waa ready to
meet ber fata.
At midnight conflicting reports are made
concerning Mr. Boffel' condition. On I
that tb symptom of pneumonia are beeom
log pronounced, aad if sot checked xa
would prv fatal.
Miss Cook, matrea at the hospital, how
ever, aays she considers Mrs. Boffel' case
ss progressing favorably.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. For the most
part the senate will divide It time thl
week between the Philippine tariff bill and
th bill Increasing th aalarle ot th fed
eral Judiciary. The ealary bill I ln charge
of Senator Hoar and will b considered
In the morning hour of the senate each
day until it I disposed of, while the Phil
ippine bill, which I In th band of Sen
ator Lodge, will contlnu to hav right et
way a tb unfinished business after t
o'clock of each day.
The salary bill will be the subject only
of running debate, but s number ot t
speeches will be made on the other meas
ure. Among tbe senators who will be beard
during th week are Teller, Turner, Car
mack , and Culberson. It 1 not probable
that the debate on tbe Filipino bill will
be concluded this week.
Tbe friend ot th Judiciary salary com
mittee mean to conclude Its work at an
early date. They say that Senator Stew
art's amendment lncl easing the salaries of
senators and members of congress will b
unceremoniously voted down.
Senator Hale, from tbe committee en
appropriations, will report th urgency de
ficiency bill tomorrow and ask to hav It
considered on. th following day. Th
amendment In this bill providing for th
entertainment of Prince Henry snd tbe ex
pense of thl country incident to th coro
nation may lead to some discussion, but
no doubt is entertained ot the final favor
able disposition ot tho Item.
Hoaee Forecast.
Thl. promise, to be an interesting week
ln the house. The oleomargarine bill has
been made s .pedal continuing for tomor
row, and after It Is disposed of, which
probably will be Tuesday, the bill for the
repeal of ths war revenue taxee will fol
low. While both sides are unanimous In
favor ot tbe repeal ot these taxes. It Is the
intention of tbe democrats to open up tbe
whole tariff question during the debate on
this bill and they will make a strong tight
for ampls time for discussion.
The question of Cuban reciprocity Is also
likely to be debated at length, Ae member x
on botb tide of tbe house are anxious
to define their position. The friend ot
the oleomargarine bill have no doubt of
It passage. They regard the vote on the
adoption ot the special order on Friday
as practically a test vote. The bill la
practically tbe old Grout bill, imposing a
tax ot 10 cent a pound on products col
ored In Imitation ot butter, and to make
retail dealera who color oleomargarine
subject to the same peosltle a th manu
