A MURDERER IDENTIFIED.
SLAYER OF SHERIFF. SNIlIu A
MINISTER.
His Name John Arthur Simpson
Preacher and IIo sc Thief.

John Arthur simpson, q ina George Simp
son. alias George 4. Stilwcll, formerly of
Fredericton, \. b.. once a Baptist minister,
later a burglar. horse thief, inCeudiary,
forger bigamis' aud finally a murderer, is
wanted at Dover y. n.
This individual i. desired because his pic
tlirc has been identified rs representing the
features OF Julius McArthur. who Killed
Deputy Sheriff Charles II. Smith Of New
Hampshire, May 6, lN9l, while resisting ar
rest tor stta ing horse aud who escaped
from the rotary jail of that city July l..
1891
No tangible Clcw to McArthur'S where
ahouts has ever been discovered. The MUIR
dprcr has successfully cluded the officer, OF
STAFFORD county, Boston and New York in
their attempts to capture him, and up to q
month or so ago he was fortunate in not
having his identity known TO those who
wanted to arrest him.
Now, however, he has been recognized as
A daring crook who started in life, at his
majority, as a Baptist minister and who, a
month before the murder. had rounded of a
portion Of his career by finishing second
sentence in the state prison OF Ma sachusetts
to say nothing Of previous numerous terms
in penal institutions Of other states.
II Q Indictment found against Julius Nc
Arthur by the grand jury OF STAFFORD county
reads murder in the first degree and o
warrant from that body is held by Sheriff
William S. lIavcs Of Madbury.
He was in Boston, IN court, about six
weeks ago, when his former pal. Eugene
Graves, alias DR.. MaXimilian +. A. LaFosse,
was sentenced to - years Imprisonment for
criminal operation, but since then Simp-
son has kept away from that city, and is now
supposed to be out West.
The murderer doesn't know that his
identity has been established. He very likely
! received word some months ago that the
state of New Hampshire will pay SllOO for
the arrest Of julius II. Macarthur, but proba,
blv he hasn't been told that the samc} sum
will be paid to the man who turns up to the
authorities John Arthur simpson.
