IOWA MURDERER CAUGHT.
Precautions Had to Be Taken to Save Him
From an Angry Mob.

From an angry MOD.
CORNING, Iowa, May 13-James DOoIey,
who fiendishly murdered Mrs. Coon and her
10-year-old child in their home, mile south
of Prescott, Iowa, on Thursday, was cap
tured this morning in Villisca. Dooley was
tracked to the depot and arrested while in
the act of sending a telegram. The revolver
with which the murder was committed was
found in his overcOat pocket Dooley was
quietly placed in boxcar of a passing
freight train and brought to Corning Jail.
He persistently denied having conl-
mitted the murder until noon when
he broke down and confessed his
guilt. He says he Quarreled with
Mrs. Coon and struck her on the head with
a paddock, telling her to the floor. He says
the little girl ran in and he struck her to
the floor with a paddock and then shot her
in the forehead. The evidence goes to show,
however, that he killed the girl after she
escaped from the house, as pool of blood
on the outside OF the house and bullet
hole inside the house would indicate. About
o'clock the Sheriff took DoOley from the
Jail TO the depot, intending to transport him
TO some western Iowa town. The train was
two hours late, and before it arrived at the
depot was surrounded by q mob of about
1000, who threatened to hang DO0ley. Sew
eral deputies were sworn in and DOoIey
was safely placed on the train fer Council
Bluffs.
