Mysterious Shooting.

NEW YORK, October 1.-THE reported
shooting yesterday Of Mrs. Cora Cheese.
man by herself is becoming subject Of
public interest. Early this morning the
Coroner visited the bedside ofthe wound
ed woman, and found a strange lady at.
tending her. Mrs. Cheeseman, who had
spent . very bad night, was considerably
excited, and more than ever refused to
make sworn statement to the Coroner
as to how she received the wound. The
Coroner, finding that he could obtain no
statement from the patient turned his
attention 10 The strange lady, and ELECTED
from her that she was the friend oil Mrs.
'Cheeseman, and had come from Lynn in
answer to "a 1telegram sent Thursday
night, informing her that Cora had been
murdered, and that she should come on
at once. This dispatch Is signed "Cora!n
The Coroner questioned the lady in the
parlor adjoining the room in which Mrs.
Cheeseman was lying. When the latter
saw the Coroner speak to her friend she
called her to her bedside and forbade her
to make any further statement. Thus
batEled in all his efforts, the Coroner ap.
piled to the Superintendent for his ofi-
cial assistance, as the case since the CON.
tents Of the telegram are known, has
become more mysterious than ever. The
condition OF Mrs. Cheesenan is very pre-
earious. Nothing has been seen Of or
heard from the husband of the wounded
woman, -'

Arrest Of Another Supposed
= fNofthlield Bank RObber.

ST. LouB, October 14.-Sefgeant Bo-
land, Of the police force Of this city, ar
rived here tonight from Kansas City,
having in charge man who Is claimed
10 be Frank james, one Of the Northfield
Mimi bank robbers: He was arrested
Yesterday at the house Of D. Noland,
about Eve miles from Independence, No.,
where he has been stopping for some
time past. II is denied that he Ia one Of
the james boys, and asserted by BolAnd
and others that his name is John Good
win, Of Louisiana, but as he Is wounded
in the leg, as Frank James is said to
have been, and from other circumstances
in the case, Sergeant Boland took him
and brought him down. @
TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE PRISONER.
ST. LOUIS, October 15.-Chief OF Police
McDonough has made efforts to-day to
effect the identification Of the prisoner
brought here last night by Sergeant Bo-
land, but without avail. Capt Kinney,
formerly OF Sedalia, who processes to be
acquainted with both Frank and Jesse
James, failed to recognize this man as
Frank James; bat there was some
thing about his manner which led the po.
lice authorities 10 suspect that he did
recognize him, but Nonld not acknowl-
edge it. One or two other persons were
called in to see the prisoner, but they did
not identity him. There are other men
who know the james brothers, bnt it Is
believed none OF them will take the risk
OF identifying either Of them. DR.. Mo-
sher, Of Sioux City, who was stopped on
the road near that city and robbed Of his,
horse at the time the James brotherswere
being so closely pursued in Western
Iowa, will be sent for, and party at
Mortified, MINI, who saw the, gang at
the time OF the robbery; viii be asked to-
come here and view the prisoner.
Chief McDonough Is by no means ces-
tain that this man Is Frank James,
but he feels sure that he must be
one OF the band that robbed the Northfield
Bank, and il not Frank James IL Cal Car
ter. At all eyents no .pains-Eiu be
spared toetfect his identity. The wound
OF this man eorfespondB 10 the one said
to have been received by Frank James.
1t is located in,tbe same place and pre-.
sents every appearance Of having been
inflicted some weeks ago. He says the
injury was received while squirrel hunt
ing at bis home in Western Louisiana,
and that he went from there to Dr., No
lands, near Independence, Mo, for sur
gical treatment. This story is remarked
ythe police as very thin, and receives
no consideration whatever.
