THE MURDERERS.
WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE.

The Gazette says that four of the parties
under arrest are residents of Davenport.
OF these, Patrick and Michael Heeney live
on Ninth street, between Rock Island and
Iowa streets, and Dublin jack" whose
real name is John Cavanaugh, is the son
of widow who also resides 10 this city.
Then there is the boot-black, Tom Heeney
lad Of fifteen. also under the arrest for
participation in the tragedy. His mother
also lives in this city, with her second hus-
band. 1t vas only last January that Tom
was under the arrest for stealing from his
stepfather, who is pedler-and lie was
kept from the reform school by promises
of reform. Then there is sThomas Ross,
an unarrested participant in the muir der.
He also is resident of Davenport.
John Cavanaugh, alias dublin Jack, "
alias jim Burns-the name of his step
father is Burns-has been employed in
saw mills in Davenport, but of late has
had no visible means Of support. He is
known to our police as a tough one, but
has never been efectually caught; he once
was presented before the grand jury for
assault with intent to kill, but no bill was
found. Tom was arrested at the Daven
port end of the Government bridge By
Guard Fish, as detailed on third page.
Pat1and Mike Heeney, and Thomas
Ross, were employed In the Eagle Works
in this city-Pat in the foundry learning
the trade of moulder. Mike a striker il
the forge shop. and Tom painter in the
paint shop. Neither one is over % years
of age. 1t is stated that Mike had deter,
mined to leave the city yesterday, on &C
