Board of Public I.ands and Buildings thin
morning; paid to the Van Horn Iron works
of Cleveland $41,418, a portion of the money
due the company for the erection of the
steel cells at the state penitentiary, yes
terday afternoon the board awarded the
contract for the remaining eighty-four cell
to this name company for 19,982, which, to
gethor with Its contract for the flint 150
cells, just takes the appropriation of $5A0O0
made by the late legislature. The other
bidder on the eighty-four cells were: The
Smith 1'nlon Iron works of Chicago, $30,g29;
Champion Iron works of Canton, (37,3(10,
and the Stuart Jail works of Cincinnati for

The board made a first contract with the
Van Dorn company for 150 cells for $C9,0Of),
to be paid In Installments as the work pro
gressed. When the first bill was presented
Auditor Weston refused to audit It for the

ated IHO.OOO frr 240 cells. It became neces
sary therefore for the board to again ad
vertise for bids for the remaining cells,
which also made It necessary for the Van
Dorn company In order to save what money
and work it had invested to take the con
tract at a price that would keep the total
cost of the state within the appropriation.
President Van Dorn of the company said
ha would lone IOO.OjO by taking the eighty
four cells at the price he did.

cial Telegram.) The state haa examined
further witnesses in James Slater, George
Cox, Charles Boody, Editor Reed, Under

The testimony of Slater, Cox and Boody
was all corroborative of that of Keysor
Allen, that tracks leading from the point
where Bliss entered the field to where his
body lay proved he was walking away
from Turley when the latter first shot. Un
dertaker Hodge testified that the coat,
shirt and undershirt, riddled and bloody,
was Just the same as when he took it off
Bliss, excepting for the rents made neces
sary to remove it from the rigid body. He
also testified to the first wounds going

wounds. The wounds In the back of the
arm and In the shoulder entered from the
rear and took a course directly to the front
of the body, four of them had penetrated
the outer portion of the arm. One In the
back, in the direction of the heart, had
been probed by him and its course was
directly from the back. None of these
wounds were sufficient to cause any serious
result
Tho other gunshot wound was In the
right breast. It completely tore the tlss-.ie,
reduced the lung to shreds and death from
this wound was Instantaneous from the
shock and resultant profuse hemorrhage.
Dr. Roeder also testified as to a man fall
ing backward when so wounded if he was
standing still, or forward if he was plung
ing forward at the time of receiving the
wound, as defense alleges In Its statement
was the case.
Dr. Roeler's testimony was corroborated
by Dr. Smith of Bhelton.
The state here rested and the defense
began with a number of character wit
nesses, who testified that Turley had al
ways been of a peaceable disposition and
fond of hunting.

deputy sheriff, was recaptured at 11 o'clock
last night at Guilford, Mo., a village on
the Chicago Great Western, eighteen miles

Dunn's capture was the culmination of
a Vhnse almost as sensational as was his
escape. He appeared at the home of a
farmer near Rosendale at S o'clock yester
day morning, sick with pneumonia. He
said his name was William Merrltt nnd
thut he waa a brother-in-law of Mike Kstes,
Burlington section foreman st Rosendale.

moved to hla house. A farm hand who
helped move the sick man was sure he wns
Dunn and wired Sheriff Spencer In St.
Joseph. The sheriff and several depu
ties hurried to Rosendale on the first
train, arriving there late in the evening.
Dunn's relatives In the meant. me feared
his Identity had become knewn and he
was spirited away In a buggy drawn by
a team of fast horses. He had forty
flve minutes' start of his pursuers and
drove across the country at a furious pacm.
Upon arrival at Guilford he was too sick
to go further and dismissed the team snd
driver. He proceeded to ft, hot?I and re
tired to a room, where he was takn with
out resistance by deputy sheriffs half an
hour later, near midnight.
Governor Doekery has Instructed the
sheriff of Buchanan county to postpone the
execution of Dunn until B o'clock tomorrow
evening, In order to have his health investi
gated. Governor Doekery will give Dunn a
respite of several days, hut will commute
his sentence under no circumstances. The
St. Joseph officials have had an Investiga
tion made by ph'yslctans, who say that he
is not suffering from pneumonia and that
there is no need of a respite.
