Mead's Murderers in Limbo.

Slowly, but surely, the lines have
been gathering about the murderers of
H. G. Mead, the Waupaca, Wis, bank
er, until now, the net has been pulled
in and secured, the result being the
confinement behind tho bars of Alfred
Vandecar, "Whisky" Welsch and Char
ley Freeman. 1t is not thought that
Welsch was here or took an active part
in the job; but that he is acquainted
with the particulars and can tale un-
fold that would throw light upon one
of the darkest deeds ever perpetrated
in Wisconsin, is not doubted. The
three men are all what might be called
hard citizens and are we'll known in
Stevens Point and Wausau. Vandecar
is the leading man, and he it is who
planned the robbery, with the assist
ance of Freeman. l visited Welsch in
his cell. He is twenty-three years old;
his face is smooth, with the exception
of small, downy moustache; be is
about five and a half feet tall, and
thick set. He is often called Stub
| Welsch by the boys. At the time of
the murder, Oct. Z, he was tending bar
in a saloon at Stevens Point, and was

Freeman. The trio had put up a few
jobs on individuals, and finding they
worked we'll together, Vandecar con-
ceived the idea of bagging bigger game.
Freeman used to be engineer on a
Wisconsin Central gravel train, and
was somewhat familiar with Waupaca.
One night when he and Vandecar were
planning some way to make another
raise, freeman mentioned the fact
of there being a rich old banker down
at Waupaca, who had thousands of
dollars in his safe, and that if they had
that money they could fly high. 1t
was agreed that two should come down
to Waupaca and take the lay of the
land. This they did several days be-
fore the murder. They found out that
the banker slept in his bank, and that
there was window in the rear OF the
building through which they could
gain an entrance. They
| DECIDED UPON SATURDAY NIGHT
for the deed. In the afternoon of that
day Vandecar called Welsch aside and
asked him what he was going to do the
coming winter. Welsch replied that
he was going to work in the woods.
Vandecar told him that he and Free
imam had cooked up a little job, and if

New York, December ga row OF four
double frame houses running south from
3l4 west Fiith-fouth street, known as
Niger Row." from the fact that they
are occupied entirely by negroes, caught
fire this evening and was partially de-
stroyed. Three little chlldren-Hattie. Ma
bel. and Edgar Judson-aged respectively
three, two. and one years, were burned to
death. The mother OF the children, young
colored woman, whose husband Is white
man, left them PLAYING together in her room
while she went TO grocery Store. Wheh
she returned the house was in flames. III
is thought the fire was caused by one OF
the children upsetting a Kerosene lamp
during their mothers absence. The fire
spread so rapidly that forty-seven families,
who were crowded together in the rickety
building. had barely time to make their es-
cane with their lives and little furniture
saved. The total loss is estimated at
$4,000.
