PHILADELPHIA, May .. Yesterday
evening, a man giving his name as
William Dewitt gave himself up to a
policeman, and said he had committed
murder. He stated. that five years ago
he ard another man, while intox lcated,
attacked and killed a railroad boss
about eight miles from Connellsvllle,
Pennsylvania. Both were arrested,
but Dewitt soon escaped; and since
then has been wandering through the

his life uncomfortable, and he desired to
be arrested for the crime. The authorl-
ties telegraphed to the Sheriff Of
Fayette county, and received an an
