Arrest Of the Perpetrators of tho Daring
~ Outrage-A Pair of Desperate Footpads
Who Will Never visit ST Paul After They
Have Served Their Time In saltwater.
The use of the phrase, 'the G1oBE's e1-
elusive account is getting monotonous.
But truth impels it's repetition when referring
to the GLOBES exclusive account of the
street gar raid yesterday, which occurred the
night before, for the purpose of giving ad-
ditional particulars.
The account of the daring attempt and
almost successful robbery, as given, was
substantially correct. There were three
desperadoes succeeded in selling the money
box, and getting off the car. An unlucky
slip of one of tle robbers which caused him
to drop the box, gave the driver, who was
valiantly in pursuit, the opportunity to re-
cover it. The cars raided were Nos. 8, 9,
and 10. The first was driven by Dave Hoar,
the second by James Webb, and the last was
in charge of N. G. Olson. The cars were
not journeying on the track in the
order named; No. 10 was the first
one out from Wabashaw street,
and Olson had the struggle with the robbers,
gave pursuit when they jumped from the car
and recovered the stolen box.
), They all join in the excuse that they could
not leave their train to inform the police,
and when the affair was reported to Superin-
tendent Walsh coupled with no little e1-
citement, he thought it just as well to
defer report of the occurrence
until morning. The affair was
accordingly given into the hands of the po-
lice, yesterday morning. The drivers told
their story, and gave creditable and accur-
ate description of the would-be and nearly
succeaful robbers.
Capt. Clark heard the account, and no
sooner was it related than he had clew to
the parties described. Some men possess to
q high degree the ability to
retain in mind the personal
appearance of man, when once seen, even
for years; a description will answer as well
as sight. The description given, of the
robbers pretty clearly indicated to Capt.
Clark who the daring men were. He spot
ted them in his mind, and went to work at
once to put his hands upon the respon-
sible parties. Knowing well his men, and
knowing equally well their haunts, he gave
thorough search for them. But for
conspicuously absent from their
favorite Ioafng places. This confirmed
Capt. Clark's suspicious, and made him
more diligently anxious to make the capture.
Imparting his suspicious to officer Kenaley,
who too was well acquainted with the men
suspected, Capt. Clark directing him to
assist him in hunting after them.
All the saloons. and groggeries, and even
worse places, at which the sus-
pected men star it, were treated to
another search. Fortunately, just as
Officer Kanealy was returning to the station
from place where they might have been, he
espied his two men on st. Peter near Tenth
street. They we're walking along carelesslY
and slowly. The officer stepped out briskly
and overlook them at Exchange street. He
tapped both of them on the shoulder and
accosted them with. to them, the familiar
expression, ssyou are wanted. !"
They knew enough not to resist and went
along to the station with an assumption of
astonished innocence. ISL
Arriving at the station, Capt. Clark Was
encountered just coming in from his search.
He took charge of the men, and with his
usual forethought separated his prisoners.
Barney Murphy was placed in one cell.
John Carr was conducted to another cell re-
mote from that of his comrade. M a(s1a
Each was questioned separately as to their
whereabouts during Friday night. .gi

water street. and had gone. to bed 5 at 8
o'clock. He positively declared he hadn't
been in Carr's company during the whole
evening or night. ~ -, " .,.s...ir5 e.,
Z Carr had a different story to tell. He
and Murphy had been together all
of Friday night, in fact they
had slept together. In tie fore part Of the
| evening they had innocently amused them
selves around about town, and along about
IL O'Clock each had gone to the Chippewa
house on Minnesota, and there had gone
to bed together. ,l., t.al5 i III! .tIt
| Evidently Murphy and Carr had been 80
sure in their belief that they couldn't be con-
nected with the street car raid, that they
had neglected to concoct story with the
semblance Of sameness about it.
Meanwhile Capt. Clark had dispatched q
messenger for the three car drivers, Hoar,
confronted, first with Murphy then Carr,
each driver being taken in to see the prison
|, Both Murphy and Carr were recognized az
the robbers. I
Olson, the driver who was attacked, likely
had the best chance to study the features of
the robbers. He was positive in his identif-
cation, and for the matter of that, so were
Webb and Hoar.
Murphy and Carr were rather despondent
at the turn of affairs, but desperately clung
to their stout denial of knowing nothing
i about the business. oil t&H. 35s+e WfffEf n
Is Carr and Murphy both have sayory
reputation. Carr last winter waylaid hia
brother -in-law, Joe Welch, near the Ameri-
can house, and left him as. if freight cal
had collided with him. After this exploit
4 Carr took to fight and relieved the city o1
his presence for several weeks. He has also
served a partial term in the penitentiAry
having been pardoned out after seven OF
eight months of q years sentence.
Murphy has beenIa saloon lounger abou
a, town. He was engaged in the game d
cards in, McDermott's saloon, vhez
James Ira Bach was set upon by him ani
some other rufiaus, and IN self-defense 40
sidentally shot and killed Alexander Hainil
ton. Murphy was also arrested few week
ago for stealing clock while visiting Rir
upon whom he pretended to be sweet. n,
escaped punishment By declaring he wss on
Of his head with drink. 4fiGt
However, the facts are against botl
rufians this time, and Z strong dose O
y Saltwater awaits them. And that this CON

Clark and his assistant, Officer Ksnealy
