WAvERLY, Num-, July 20.-Considerable
excitement is prevailing here to-day
over the arrest of one Ed johnson,
hard looking case arrested at
Flanagan, deputy sheriff, on suspicion of
being connected in the Policeman O'Connell
murder at st. Paul.
lie was arrested on some information given
by fellow tramp who said that
johnson had limited TO him that he knew
something about the affair and when he
(Johnson) was interviewed by the justice and
Mr. Flanagan, confessed that he had seen
O'Connell shot and was in company with two
Others at the time of the murder. One by the
name of Lee, who shot O'Connell. Lee, 1t
will De remembered, was under arrest about
week ago and Johnson was the name of the
third party.
After johnson was arrested Chief Weber, of
st. Paul, was wired, and Capt. Clark, accom-
panied by Officer Nugent, came on the evening
train. The captain spent an hour or SO cross
examining the prisoner, but his answers
seemed mixed, and led the captain to believe
that he was crank. He described some of
the incidents accurately of the affair, but is
apparently Ignorant of others. His ap-
pearance is that of stupid
country fellow, and his actions are more
those of a crank than n sensible man. Capt.
Clark does not think that he was connected
with the murder, or that clue can be gained
from him.
He will he brought to ST. Paul on the
first train, but there is little
chance that he will be held after an examina-
ton, although he gives some straight facts,
as well as had memorandum on his person
with the date of the murder
Deputy Sheriff Flanagan deserves credit for
the way in which he followed up the case.

O'CONNELL'S MURDERER.

Who Pr ofesses to Having Participated
Captain Clark Goes Up to Bring Him

Down.
The particulars of the shooting of Police
man O'Connell, on st. Anthony hill, on the
nth of Junelast are well known to the readers
OF the GLOBE. Yesterday Chief of Police
Weber received dispatch from Wayerly
which reads as follows:
WAvERLY MILLS, Mimi, July 2O.-Charles
weber, Chief ofiPolice, st. Paul: Have man
VINO gives the name OF Ed. johnson. He has
peen arrested on suspicion of killing Police
man OConneli, and he has confessed. Come
ut once. v KvTr
Oi course the receipt of this dispatch
created profound sensation. The officers
here could not believe that il was true that
the real murderer had confessed and was under
arrest, still there seemed TO be enough in the
dispatch to make it necessary to investigate
The matter. Captain Clark therefore left for
Waverly in the O'Clock train last night.
After ne had gone the chief of police received
the following dispatch:
WAvERLY, July 20. Chief of Police Weber:
We have the man implicated in the O'Conneli
murder. Have knowledge of the other. john
Flaherty has identified him.
T.. III. CULLEN, Justice.
John Flaherty was formerly policeman in
st. Paul and now resides at WaveIly. This
Ed. Johnson Is supposed to be the fellow that
Detective O'Connor arrested for stealing a
trunk at the depot in st. Paul, for which he
was sent to Saltwater. 1t is supposed that the
statement in the dispatch that "Flaherty has
identified him" simply means that he knows
the man to be this same Ed. johnson that was
arrested here in st. Paul, as above stated.
