THEY LET HIM SKIP
Detroit Police Authorities Ar

WHO ASSAULTED Mr.. FiNEGAN
And Then Released Him Before the Sher'
if Gets Time TO Reach There
and Claim Him.

Conductor John w. Gibbs OF the ID.
L. 4 \. railway was in the city last
evening and was interviewed by Detec-
tives Cast and Jakeway in regard to
the purported arrest of Ray Wilson,
the assailant of John p. Fiuegan, 81
Lansing early Sunday morning. The
conductor said he Was not
quite sure that the man
whom the Lansing policeman thought
Of arresting Was Wilson, but before
reaching Detroit Sunday morning he
formed the acquaintance of the sus-
pect and learned beyond a doubt that
the man WAS Wilson. lie teiegraphed
from South Lyons to the police depart
ment at Detroit 10 arrest Wii-
son at the depot as soon IS the
train arrived. The conductor kept
close watch of his man and whenever
he had occasion 10 leave the car he IN
structed the brakeman to watch Will
son and If he attempted to jump the
Car to knock him on the head. AS the
car reached West Detroit Wilson step
ped to the door and asked of the
brakeman when the boat left
for Winsor. When the train
arrived in Detroit Conductor Gibbs left
the train with Wilson and meeting two
policemen he told them to arrest VII
son. Wilson put his hand on his hip
pocket but the officers had him hand
cuffed before he could draw a revol-
yer. He told the conductor he would
get even with him for that, or his pals
would. He was put into the
patrol wagon and taken TO
the police station. At noon yesterday
Superintendent Eastman received a
telegram from the chief OF police of
Detroit saying that the man pointed
oct TO the Detroit policemen by Coli-
ductor Gibbs was not the man wanted
here and he had been released Con.
ductor Gibbs told the detectivesia stnight
that he would take his oatn that the
man is Mr.. Wilson. HIS description
| corresponds exactly with that sent out
by the police department.. The super
| intendeut here thinks 1t very strange
that the Detroit authorities did not
hold the prisoner until an investigation
could be had. Sheriff Mcqueen left
last night for Detroit on Conductor
Gibbs train and will investigate the
| matter.
1t was reported from St. Marks hos
pital this morning at 2 o'clock that Mr..
Finegan was conscious and doing fairly
well, but that the critical period in his
case had not passed. He has made no
statement concerning the particulars
of the assault. his physicians forbid
| ding him to talk.

CONVENTION POSTPONED.
The Meeting of Republican Clubs De-
ferred Until Sept. rs.

NEW YORK, Aug. ID. S. Clarkson,
president of the National League of
Republican clubs has issued the follow.
ing notice. ''Headquarters Republi-
can league, New York, Aug. l5, 1892.
The date of the Republican National
league convention called heretofore
for Buffalo, n. Y, Sept. i, is hereby
postponed until Thursday. Sept. 10.
This postponement is made at the re-
quest of the chairman OF the national
committee and Is made because the
earlier date would prevent attendance
of a large number of republican clubs
In the western states where the harvest
of the various crops will not have been
finished by Sept. /. By the middle of
September the party will have
perfected its organization IN ali
portions Of the country, many new
clubs will have been organized, and a
much larger number Of campaign,
marching and uniformed clubs will be
able to attend the national convention.
The cooler weather of the later date
will also be more favorable and induce
larger general attendance than a
convention held IN the closing days OF
August. The national committee oi
the league calls upon all subordinate
clubs to join actively in stimulating or
ganlzation of marching clubs 10 the
end that the rivalry between the diff
ferent state organizations in the mum
Der of clubs cent to tie national con
vention may make the proceeding
at Buffalo more interesting, and en-
able it to give a stiIl greater energy tc
the important campaign now IN prog
ress.
