Chicago, February % Neil Nc
KaIgue, a keeper of a butchersbop in
the village of Winnetka, ten miles
from Chicago, was secretly arrested
last night by Pinkerton, charged with
committing the horrible double murder
Of old Mr.. Wilson and his invalid wife
on the night of February 13. He was
taken before the grand jury to-day and
indicted.
The details of the crime are SO
respectable that the Ease has attracted
unusual attention. 1t was believed
that the murders would prove another
great mystery in criminal annals. The
arrest and swift indictment of Nc
Kaigue has caused great surprise. The
evidence given before the grand jury
against McKaigue was purely circum-
stantial, but apparently strong and
eliminating. Three buttons found on
the foor of the Wilson residence Gov
cred with blood, and which had evil
IDENTIFY beer wrenched from the muir
derer's vest, were produced, as was
also McKaigue's vest. The buttons
were of a peculiar design, and one of
them had been torn from its fastenings
with such force that it was broken. and
the center part, which was held by the
thread, was broken out. The button
was compared with those on the vest OF
McKaigue and correspondent exactly.
The broken button was then placed on
the core Of the button retained OF the
vest and Cited exactly. A number OF
other apparently eliminating circum-
stances were adduced, and the feeling
now is that the great mystery Of the
murder has at last been unravelled. A
revolver belonging to McKaigue has
been found, and two bullets taken from
Wilson's body at the chambers Of the
revolver.
McKaigne is unable to account for
his whereabouts the night of the muir
der. The prisoner, Notwithstanding
all these disclosures, takes the matter
very coolly, and persists in asserting
his innocence.

''I'm gone any how; L know you will
be good to my family when I'm dead
and 1 will tell you the truth" He
recited the horrible details and said on
Friday morning Ben Johnson, who
lives with him. said to him that he had
three ''points" for that night. He
explained hal points" meant subjects
for the medical college. He asked
johnson where they were and Johnson
replied: "The three people at the
Taylor cabin OH the hill; they are no
good and we can knock them 10 the
head" Ingalls, said he agreed and
went to the Ohio medical college and
told them he would have three subjects

B. Dixon, expressman. He went to
the expressman and engaged him to

Johnson had a locust club a little
longer than a policeman's club. He
began striking them over the head
right and left as he would cattle. The
woman struggled and offered resist
ance. Ingalls, he finally choked her to
death and johnson soon disposed OF tbs
others with his club. Then they
stripped the bodies, pat them in sacks
which they brought along, carried
them tn the roadside and went to meet
the wagon. Loading them they drove
to the Ohio medical college, delivered
them and received their pay. 1ngalli
says he knows nothing about the frint
of the cabin. 1t is stated tonight tina
