Commit Three Murders.
ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIS PARTNER.

Escape From the Mailman.
FINALLY ARRESTED IN GREENsBURG

J. G. Allies, the real estate agent, is under
lock and key at .Greensburg. Yesterday he
carried matters SO far in Pittsburg that it is
not likely he will ever be released again
until permanently cured.
Though crazy, he was clever enough to
know that he had been adjudged insane, and
could not be held responsible for his mis-
deeds. He believed he could do murder
without being made to suffer, and he at
once proceeded to carry out his ideas. He
arrived in Pittsburg on an early train from
Detroit. He first went to his
home on Forbes street, and for time
chatted pleasantly with his wife. Suddenly
he turned on her and declared he was
going to kill her. She started to run, but
before she could get out he struck her. She,
however, recovered and managed to catch
car and make her way to Central station
Officers were at once sent to the Allies
house, but by that time he was discovered
at the Office of his business partner.
ANNOUNCED HIS PURPOSE.
Previous to going there he had been to
his lawyer, and told him he was going to
kill r. G. Bailey, because he had refused to
send him S75 when he was at Detroit. He
explained to his attorney that he could not
be held responsible for the murder. When
he entered Mr.. Bailey's office he appeared
perfectly sane. Previously he had written
to his partner, telling him that he in
tended to kill him. He asked for the S75
and was refused. Then he suddenly struck
at Mr.. Bailey. The blow landed in his
E. I'll L.
knocked him down flight of stairs. Allies
father then appeared, and the insane man
grew quiet, while Bailey made his escape.
Before the officers arrived, however, the
insane man had made his way to the Court
House. He went into Recorder Won Bonn
horgt's office, and demanded the charter for
his aerial electric railway. The Recorder
made him an answer at which Allies grew
angry. He then declared he would make o
vacancy at the Court House, and proceeded
to carry out his threat. The Recorder at
once sought the door and liberty. He did
not return until after the millionaire in
fancy got tired and went away.
SKIPPED OUT OF TOWN.
In the meantime, Mr. Bailey was taken to
his home, but the police could not find any
trace of Allies. They searched the city high
and low, but no trace of him could be found.
After leaving the Court House he had gone
to Union station and taken a train for
Greensburg At that town he tried to con-
tinue his thirst for blood, but his first
attempt landed him in the lookup.
Last evening word of the arrest was sent
to Pittsburg, and Detectives Fitzgerald and
Robinson were sent to bring him home.
They took handouts with them, but were
unable to return last night.
Inspector McAleese said yesterday that
the man had been released before because
his father had promised to send him to
hospital This time he said the police
would see that he was placed in some insti-
tuition. The Inspector believes there is no
doubt that the man would kill some one if
allowed to be at large.
