Paul-Interesting Facts About the Race
Murder.
The Chicago papers have made great
spread on the arrival of George Freeman
alias Sheeny George. The GLOBE in no re-
spect yer-estimated the Importance of the
capture of the notorious criminal. His cap
ture is considered in Chicago the most i'm
portant OF all the gang Of burglars and MUIR
derous thugs heretofore arrested. AS stated
IN the GLOBE, Sheeny George is supposed,
in Chicago, to have the key to the mystery
of the double crime on the night of October
4th-the burglary of Z. S. Jaffray's store,
and the murder of Police Officer Race.
The Times and Tribune both favor his
advent with a description anu heightened
out interviews with him, containing substan-
tally all he related to the GLOBE while in
custody here. The Times says:
Detective Bauder arrived ut o'clock on yes
terday morning from St. Paul with Sheeney'

be the missing link between the murder of Off
Ger Race, on the night Of the 18th of October,
and the conviction Of Johnny Lamb, already
indicted for the deed.
The detective presented his man to superin-
IenucnU SeaYey and his deputy, JOe Dixon. with
the papers, and said:

that fell from his lips on the way down, in con-
nectlon with the arrest in st. Paul, were: Il
am sorry did not shoot them, meaning the
officers who took him.
With this the detective made respectful
bow and withdrew.

at the mere boy before him.

said In 81 quiet manner.

Yes, he answered in quiet way, with a
look which has had 80 much practice in hiding

innocent. Yes, SO they say. l know nothing

lie didn't say these words in bravado man
ner, although there is a probability that he
might have overestimated his courage.
After Sheeny is stored away in cell at
the Armory, the querists and pencil pushers
get at him vigorously.
