SPRING LAKE, N. j., June "a" Garside's
injuries are not serious; the man Is sham
ming" These are the words reported to have
been uttered this morning by DR.. Traut, who
has been attending the wounded would-be
captor Of Gideon W. Marsh, the fugitive
President OF the Keystone Bank, Philadelphia,
Garslde's story that he, serving as detec'

shot at and stricken down with club while
trying to enter the house at Como, where he
believed Marsh lay concealed, was startling

phia, and his assistants are making every
effort TO get ut the bottom OF the matter. Ole
detectives crlticlse Garsides movements very
sharply. They profess to doubt that he hac
good reason to believe that Marsh was In hid
ing In the cottage or its vicinity, and say thai
II he were the man whom Garside saw on tho
beach, the latters attempts to arrest hin
were exceedingly crude.
While the officers think Marsh would moi
have risked recognition by going to a resort
SO popular among Philadelphia and New
Jersey politicians, they admit that, through
the aid OF his friend Yard, who owns tht
cottage and to whom the people living in the
ncighborhood are greatly attached, Marsf
may have sought Temporary refuge there ant
have been tracked by Garsidc.
The question arises, II Marsh was the mar
who attacked Garside, who was his com
paniOn? This puzzles everybody connected
with the case, and further developments are
awaited with intense interest. Certain 1t Il
| that no further indications have appeared o
the appearance OF Marsh, or any one who re
scmblcs hin, about Como or any where else
so far as is known 70 the detectives.
Thomas II. Garside Is wcll-known in New
York as n labor agitator. lie was very prom
inent as a leader and adviser OF the striking
cloakmakers last year, having been Init
mately associated with Joseph Barondess II
conducting that memorable struggle.
lie Il an Englishman by birth, and onl!
thirty-siX years old. lie came to America fl
1881 and founded n private school in Phila
delphia, which led to his being called "pro
fessor." This school he gave up in 1856
when he became identified with the knights
OF Labor and became prominent In tina
order as an orator and adviser in several biz
| strikes.
AS propagator of the principles and aim
OF the Knights OF Labor, Garside has mad
public speeches In nearly every large city o
the Union. He points with special pride Il
his efforts during the cloakmaEers' strike IL
New York, and 1t is acknowledged that u
him were mainly due the success scored b!
| the strikers
After the cloakmakers' strike, 1t is said
| Garside quit the labor platform and became
| reporter on Philadelphia paper. In this ca
| pacity he became aware OF the rumOred pres
| ence OF Marsh at Como, and upon Informing
| Marshal Leeds OF his discovery was by tina
| official deputlZed to arrest the absconder.

and threats are made to ride the latter out o
| town on rail.
