THE TWO ESCAPED THIEVES MAKE A MOST
REMARKABLE CONFESSION
OF Their Operations in California and Illinois

ROOst They Kept Concsalsd--Thsy are
Now Safe in Prison

SACRAMENTO, CAL, November g.
George Shinn, who with Charles Dorsey,
alias Thorn escaped from San Quintin
prison three years ago, and was recent
ly captured in Chicago By Detective J.
Il. Hume, has made a most startling
confession. Ever since they escaped
Detective Hume has believed they were
In this State, and were perpetrators of
numerous stage rObbericS which have
occurred since then, but he was not able
to obtain any positive evidence. FRI
day night Shinn was transferred from
San Quintin 10 Folsom by special
arrangement made by Warden Alden and
Detective Hume. Yesterday the war
den and detective interviewed Shinn for
over three hours. He confessed that
he and Thorn returned 10 California in
lss9 and campcd on the American river.

was their rendezvous. 10 which they al-
ways returned after their raids. ilr
admits that on the 3lSt Of July. iss9.
they stopped the stage from Milton to
Sonora and robbed the passenger, OF
$50, blew open the WellS-Fargo treas
ure box with giant powder, but found
it empty. On the 10th OF September OF
the same year they stopped the stage
between Quincy and Oroyillc. and took
gold bar worth $500 from the Wells
Fargo box.
In April Of this year they held up the
Forest Hill stage In Placer county. and
robbed the passengers. Besides these
robberieS Shinn confesSes 10 numerous
burglaries, garrotng and rohberIcs
committed by him and Thorn. They
returned TO Chicago ON May 3Oth. this
year, and says that between that time
and the date OF the capture they com-
mitted something like twenty-five rob-
berries and burglaries IN the State OF
Illinois.
Their rendezvous on the American
river has been found by Chief Of Police

ST. PAUL, MINI, November 2.-Thl,
morning at half-paSt 10 o'clock al
South ST. Paul, Il Sickening tragedy Wa.
enacted, TWO men now being dead and
third wounded. Benjamin f.
Rogers, of the big live stock
commission firm OF Rogers
and Rogers, and one Of the best known
stock dealers in the Northwest, was
killed by George Robarge, near the lat
ter's house, mile and a quarter from
the stock yards. Some cattle be-
longing to Rogers, in charge
Of young herder named Loren
Mickle, were being driven across
Robarge's promises TO grazing ground,
when Robarge assaulted Sickle. Mr..
Rogers, whose house is but short dis
tance Off, heard OF the trouble and
went TO the spot. He tried 10 get
Robargc to mark the line Of his
property so aS TO prevent future tonble,
but the latter was too angry to pay any
attention. Robarge first used a shovel
and then an axe, but he was kept of
by Mr.. Rogers. lie then procured his
shot gun and shot Billy Rogers,
who had come upon the scene, in the
shoulder. The wounded man ran for
his life, and Robarge opened fire on Mr..
Benjamin Rogers. emptying an entire
load of shot in his head by the left ear,
making a frightful and fatal wound.
death resulting almost instantly. After
an excited search of the woods they
found Robarge in his barn dead. He
had placed the muzzle of the gun to his
head and pulled the trigger with
his toe, blowing off the entire
upper, part Of his head and scattering
his brains all over the stall. where he
killed himself. The murderer was an
Anarchist.

AN EXTRAORDINARY STORY
of the Romance That Hangs Around
BIenncrhassett's Family.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, November 2.-An eX-
traordinary case has developed through
the filing of an application for change
of name by Miss Theresa Blennerhasset,
a member of the historical family OF
that name. The petitioner is the
daughter of Richard $. Blennerhas-
Sctt, the youngest son OF the Blenncr-
hasset of Burr-conspiracy fame. She
states in her petition that october 10,
1887, at Oddin, Illinois, she was married
to John Calvin Adams, and she lived
with him until November, 1881. but at
the instance Of her family she kept her
marriage secret. Her husband was killed
few weeks after the marriage, and so,
still at the solicitation of her family, she
continued to be known as Theresa
BlennerhaSSett In August 1872, she
gave birth to a female child who was
always known as Mary BlennerhaSsett.
The petitioner says her mother and
all the other members of her family are
dead, save a twin brother, and her fami-
ly patronymic is historic name of which
she is Justly proud. Moreover, she has
acquired property since her husband 5
death. the title of which is invested Ia
her maiden name of Theresa Blenner-
hassett. She prays the Court to fix and
establish her legal name. as Theresa
Blennerhassett Adams.
The story back of this petition is ro-
mantle. Theresa BlennerhasSett, in
spite of the bitter opposition OF her
relatives, fell in love with Adams, who
was ii traveller for ST. Louis business
house. She went OH an oStensible visit
to relatives at Oddin. and there met and
married her lover, and together they
went on flying trip to the east. She
returned to her home on account OF the
sudden Illness of her mother and ar
ranged with her husband to follow her
in three weeks. lie did so, but was
thrown from the train by an accident
and killed.
The world was in ignorance of the
clandcstine marriage, and was un-
fortunately kept so, even after the birth
of the child. The advent Of the little
one was kept a secret and Theresa
Blannerhassett in due time announced
that she had adopted little girl. Her
child has grown up in ignorance of
her true relation 10 her foster
mother aud is now beautiful girl OF IS.
The present proceeding, which lays bare
family secret, is brought, as much to
protect the girl and insure her uncloud-
ed title. as it is to satisfy the mother ;
longings to have her legal status de-
fined. Theresa Blenncrhassett is about
60 years old and has always been looked
upon as an old maid.

sen" who closed tonight in the

Samuel of PoSen is charged with
fraudulently obtaining 5000 from the
millionaire" in neat little land deal,
in which Samuel of PoSen sold the mil
lionalre some California building lots
which he didn't own. Sully claims
that in June, 1887, while he was play
ing an engagement at the Bush Street
Theatre. San Francisco, Curtis invited
him to 60 on a hunting expedition to
Berkeley. Alameda county. Sully ac-
cepted. While at Berkeley. Curtis showed
him plan of considerable tract OF
land of which he claimed TO be the own
or and stated that he was going TO
break il up into building lots and lay
ont a city to be called POSenyille. Curtis,
Sully says, pointed out particularly two
lots. which were to be at the corner OF
Poscnville and Main streets, and rail-
road. which was, Curtis said, to connect
Posenville and the rest of California.
The new town was to be sort OF
actors paradise, and Curtis, Sully
claims. offered to let Sully in on the
ground floor because he wanted some
good actors to give the place tone.
Sully bought the two lots at $500 apiece
and paid Curtis 5000. Sully claims that
he then left California, but kept up a
wears correspondence with Curtis, en-
deavoring to get the titles to his corner
lots. About a year after paying for the
lots Sully again met Curtis IN Oalilor-
MIA. and for the first time. he claims,
Curtis informed him that he (Curtis)
did not own the ground. explaining
that he had expected to own it, but
that the California owner refused to
convey il to him.

Special Correspondence Of the Register.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, November l.
w. +. Richards, editor Of the Telegram
and Mayor of the town, was again shot
at to-day, just before dinner. AS Rich
ards entered Wells drug store, on Main
street, young Edward Bassell, son of
Hon. John Bassell, pulled his revolver
and shot at Richards, the ball striking
a silver dollar in Richards right vest
pocket, which probably saved his life.
A scufle ensued and Richards wrested
BaSsel's revolver from him, while Bas-
sell fell TO the ground. Richards fired
at young Bassell while he was down,
which took effect in his back, but is not
supposed to be n serious wound. Several
shots were fired in the melee, and it is
said Bassell fired twice. Young BaSsell
is slight fellow, while Richards is a
strong, muscular man.
The shooting grew out OF an attack
made by Richards on Hon. John Basel
and his family, published in the Telc-
gram of November lSt. The attack was
of the vilcst character and reflected
upon Mr.. Bassel's entire household. In
any other community the writer OF the
filthy matter would have been taken
out by the decent citizens and tarred
and feathered. Richards has for years
attacked Basel and his family-the
lady members-in the most brutal way,
as he has done in the case of other in
dividuals and families, and now has the
community by the ears.
This is the fourth shooting Scrapc he
has been in, ID. C. Lee, c. Osborn, and
Vance and Basel making target OF
Richards, who seems to have a charmed
life. Osborn is the only man whose
shot had any effect. 1t laid him up for
several months. All these aSsaultS'grew
out of indecent publications in Rich
ards paper, attacking the individuals
themselves or members OF their fami-
lies.
After the shooting Richards stood on
the street corner and Dragged about
his Infamous conduct, and when Mr..
John Basel passed on the other side Of
the street he remarked to the admiring
crowd about him: Wonder if Old
Jack wants some too.'
