Mortamer's wi6sITella how Miller
had Arranged for Raid on
the Savings Bank-The
Vault to Have Been
EntiRed.

1t is well that Miller and Nor
timer are now behind the bars on
so serious ch.lrge as murder.
They are both dangerous men to.
be at large in any community.
This fact has been demonstrated
ON several previous occasions and
becomes more anal more apparent
daily.
Matte Mortimer, the wife of
George, has been allowed to talk
to her husband for the first time
since her incarceration. Among
the first things she said to him
when the jailer brought them to-
gether, was:
George, have you told them
about your plans to rob the Savings
Bank 2n
George had not and Matte told
all about it.
tsMiller had talked about rob-
bing some bank a long time, but
had not fixed his plans. He final
ly decided that he would try to
get into the Saving Bank and told
George his scheme. [ think they
intended to go in behind and use
powder, but I didn't hear enough
to tell you sure. Anyhow, Miller
was fixing all the plans and George
had agreed to help him. Miller
knew that the vaillt at the bank
was a strong one but he thought he
could get inside. Just about the
time everything was ready the
policemen came down to the house
and arrested the whole lot Of US
and that busted up the game"
Mortimer corroborated his wife's
statement and said that Miller
planned the scheme, as he had all
others. Miller did not talk on the
subject.
1t is evident that neither Morti-
mer nor Miller were familiar with
the interior arrangement of the
Savings Bank, or they would have
at once recognized the utter inn
practieability of such a raid. There
is no bank in the State better forti-
fed against the inroads of burglars
than this one.

A. Il. ARMSTRONG was fined $500
and costs in Judge Noonan's Court
in st. Louis Thursday for sending a
bill to Mrs. Mary vincil, of St.
Louis, formerly of Mexico, through
Sprague's Collecting Agency, Chi
|cago. The bill was sent in an en-
yelope on which was printed in
large type: "Bad Debt Collecting
Agency" The court ruled that NO
evidence could be introduced to
show that Mrs. vincil owed other
parties in Mexico as the accounts
were over five years old and col
lection was barred by the statute OF
limitation. The case was prompt
ly appealed and will likely come up
before the Kansas City Court Of
Appeals. We learn that several
business men of this county will be
brought before the Grand Jury OF
Audrain county in June charged
with the same offense.

MISSOURI, THURSDAY, NAY "a. 1883
Mule Thief Arrested.

Sheriff Bennett, of Galloway
county, arrived in the city from st.
Louis Friday in charge of w. d.
Wilmington, Who lie arrested in
that city yesterday. Wilmington
was wanted for stealing q valuable
mule from James Watts, south Of
this city, in January. He took the
mule to Fulton, where he sold it to
Buchanan, Smith & Davis, livery
men. Mr.. Watts easily tracked
his mule to where it was sold
and claimed his property. Since
then the officers have been on the
lookout for Wilmington. Mrs.
Wilmington lives at Guthrie, Mo.
and Sheriff Bennett set a watch up-
on the house. He soon learned
that the woman had written a let
ter and mailed it to "W. D. Wes-
ton, care Of Star Hotel. ST. Louis. =
The Sheriff Immediately went to
ST. Louis and waited at th@, Sta1
Hotel until the letter was asked
for. Yesterday, Wilmington came
into the Office and inquired for his
mail, using the name of Weston.
The officer Immediately arrested
him, without trouble.
Wilmington was taken to Full
ton on the outgoing accommoda-
ton this morning.

Speaking of the matinee races
last Tuesday, . gentleman prom-
inent in horse circles said : uNow,
all the boys cannot expect to win,
and they should not feel discourag-
ed If their horses do not come I'M
der the wire first. That is no in
dication that they are not good
horses. You know some of those
animals never started in race be-
fore and are as green as gourds.
Give them a chance and some Of
them will come out wonderfully,
as you viii see. The track was
heavy that day, and this fact was
the cause, no doubt, of some of the
boys being tagged. Bob. Edmon-
ston's horse, r. e. Lee. has trot-
ted time and again neck-and-neck
with Ben. Dobyns' Woodford
Knox. Bass Runkle's Muggins is
il green herss, but Z believe after
he has had proper training he can
go inside of three minutes. He
ought to for he is, I am told, q
half-brother to the famous G. b.,
(2:26) his sire being Dom Pedro,
who has a numberof sons on the
2:30 list. Life Norris little mare
has trotted many time close to
3 minutes, but she had no advan-
tage in the race; she is small and
the track was too heavy for her.
Bob Hisey's Longfellow will make
a dandy trotter and Bob did the
best driving on the track that day.
Willard Potts Brown Squirrel viii
stand training and is doing first
rate. i think if Tom Campbell's
gray horse was in the hands of a
professional trainer, he could be
made to show much better speed
than he now does. The boys all
have pretty fair road horses, but
they must keep them in shape il
they expect them to do anything.
Don't give them too much work ;
that is worse than not enough.
Those boys who were tagged in the
first race should not become dis
couraged but get their horses ready
tor the next one, when they will
mo doubt do better. I am anxious
to see the race between Woodford
Knox, who is to trot on a $50 wager
with the pacing mare, Lida Arnold.
| I believe the mare will win,

APGAR's MURDERERs.
Confinement is Beginning to Tell
on Them but They Stick to Their
Stories-Jail Notes.

Jim Johnson, accused of COM
plicity in the murder of Samuel
Apgar, was taken from his cell in
the county Jail at noon to-day by
Deputy Sheriff Atchison and
pumped. He didnot for amoment
change his story and stuck to his
assertion of innocence. He said
he could not imagine what possess
ed Mortimer to use his name in
connection with the crime.
Silas Fawcett, another one of
the imprisoned darkeys, said that
Mortimer told him he was going
to tell straight tale in few days;
but when Mortimer was taken out
he maintained his story, implica-
ting himself, Miller, Fawcett and
johnson. He said that he would
stick to the tale he first told, even
on the scaffold. He seems to
have come of the knowledge that
his confession will do his own neck
little good and that the gallows
will finally be the end of his exis-
tence. Fawcett has nothing to say
about the murder and is always in
a jolly, good humor.
John Miller, the leading rascal
of the lot, still keeps up appear
ances by holding daily prayer
meetings and shouting two or three
times a week. AS yet, he has
failed to arouse the sympathies of
the jailors or the enthusiasm of
his fellow-prisoners. Continued
brooding over his trouble, the con-
fnement and full realization of his
position have rendered him hag-
gard and care-Worn in appearance.
When reporter called at the Jail
he was smoking a pipe. He had
no coat on and his humped-over,
lean form, together with the ashy
color visible beneath the usually
brown skin of his face, rendered
him the picture of dispair. The
prisoner has not shaved for month
and the scraggy, curling beard
adds much to his bad appearance.
Miller still procla1ms his inno-
cence of any connection with the
murder.
Altogether, there are now nine
prisoners in the Jail. Miller, Nor
timer, Pugh, Faweett, Johnson
and Mrs. Mortimer are there for
connection with last winters bur-
glaries and the Apgar murder.
John Rodgers, white, is locked up
