An arrest was made few days ago
by the city marshal of Algona which
will probably soon lead to the arrest
of all the parties implicated in the
Kesler, Ind, Lake Shore tram robbery.
A well-dressed, fairly cultivated man
bout 80 years of age voluntarily gave
himself up to the marshal and told
chat he was implicated in this robbery,
and, being tired of wandering around
as fugitive, he had decided upon this
step. He says that if proper clemency
is extended him he will divulge the
whole story. The man evidently
knows what he is talking about, and
those who heard bin relate his story
give credence to it. The general man.
ager of the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern has been notified of the ar
rest.
Amelia Darby, who pleaded guilty at
Ottumwa to murder in the second de-
gree for killing Thomas Lloyd, was
sentenced to fifteen years in the peni-
Tertiary. The history of the crime in
brief is that on the eth day of June
last Amelia Darby, divorced wife of
Jenkin Evans, whom Thomas Lloyd
was alleged to have separated, went 10
Keb, lured Lloyd into the woods and
killed him. Evans was convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenc-
ed for life. The court room was
crowded when sentence was passed.
Mrs. Darby never fiinched. Her 3-year
old child, aged mother and father and
husbands relatives, present during
sentence, broke down, but the prisoner
manifested no feeling. She avowed to
the officer that although she must
atone in punishment Of fifteen years
in the penitentiary and her husband
for life, the dog who maligncd her
character could not come back to life
and she was glad of it. On her con-
fession, a new trial will be asked for
Evans.
Barney Shultz, of the Pinkerton
agency, of Chicago, is dong some par
ticularly clever detective work. I'M
mediately upon securing the evidence
which caused the arrest of Mrs
Bailey Bennett, charged with the muir
der of Miss Anna Wiese, in Vienna
township, Marshall county, he went to
work on the O'Brien county case and
has succeeded in landing John Murphy
and Dan McGrath behind the bars. On
the 18th of last August, man thought
by some to be tramp, stopped at the
residence of John Murphy and asked
for his dinner He sat down at the
table, leaving his satehel in an adjacent
room. Murphy says he suspected that
he was burglar and while the tramp
was eating Murphy went through his
valise. The tramp discovered Muir
phys act and went out and asked for
an explanation. Murphy SAID little
and soon the tramp started to go away
He had gone but a short distance when
Murphy call his hired men in and with
shot guns over their shoulders they set
out in pursuit They overlook HIM near
the residence of d. Prayer and the lat
ter gentleman was called TO the scene
by oaths and harsh words used by the
pursuing party. AS Prayer came up
Murphy had his shot gun leveled on
the tramp and was demanding some
money. The tramp pulled out roll
of bills and handed them to Prayer 10
count, and it was found that there
were several hundred dollars in the
roll. Murphy decided that the tramp
was wanted somewhere for robbery
and told Prayer that he would take
HIM TO Hartley and turn him over TO
the authorities. This 1t seems he did
not do, but kept him in the house most
of the day and along about dark
started for town to notify the authori-
ties, putting the tramp into the GUS
tody of his hired man, McGrath. Offic-
ers at once started for the scene, but
when they arrived no man was to be
found. but there were suspicious indi-
cations that he had been foully dealt
with. In day or two after both MUIR
ply and McGrath were arrested
charged with numbering the man. but
no evidence could be secured of a con-
victing nature and they were llber-
ated. Detective Shnltz has secured
chain of evidence, the nature of which
cannot be secured, but said to be very
positive.
