Pardon. In Iowa.

Humboldt, Iowa, Jan. 13.-Just before
Gov. Boies retired to private life he
pardoned James Cummings out of the
penitentiary, where he was sent four
years ago for highway robbery. The
pardon is on the condition that the rob-
Der leaves Iowa and never comes back.
Should he return he will get the six re-
naming years of his sentence. So 1t be-
comes outside states to look little out
for his coming. He is not likely to go
East, for that is the direction he came
from to Iowa. Pardons on condition that
the criminal leave the state have been
quite common with several governors
Gov. Gear carrying it so far as to remit
fines on condition that the criminal pay
costs and leave the state for one year
He even went so far as to remit one
mans fine and costs on condition that
he would leave the city of Des Moines. y
The constitution of Iowa requires that
for all pardons made the governor must
report to the next general assembly his
reasons therefor. These reasons are
often both interesting and distressing

Sheldon upon the points there a va.

Il Chicago, Jan. 13. Sheriff James II.
Eye has arrived in this city from Min.
nearolis to get a prisoner ut the central
stotion named Thomas Hogan, wanted
in that city for alleged completely in the
murder Of James r. Harris June 16,
1893. Hogan was arrested Tuesday
night for picking pockets by Detectives
Howard and Mccarthy. He answered
the description of the character known
as "Yorky," whom the Minneapolis po-
lice suspected Of completely in the crime,
and the authorities there were notified of
the arrest. Sheriff Eye will take Hogan
back for trial as soon as he secures ex-
tradition papers. Three other men who
are suspected of participating in the
crime are now in custody in Minneapo-
lis-Joseph White, Dick Reed and James
Dugan. 1t is believed Hogan has made
confession duplicating Reed, White and
Dugan. Sheriff Eye declined to either
confirm or deny the report that one Of the
gang had confessed.
II cannot talk about this phase Of the
case," said he. II will say that we are
positive these four men were in the deal,
and they will be prosecuted for the crime.
This is the final arrest In this famous
case. We think we can prove the four
men guilty of the murder of Harris. 1t
is believed that Dugan fred the fatal
shot. All the men are hard characters
Dugan has served terms in the peniten'
tiary at Saltwater, MIMI, and in the

been frequently under arrest in st. Paul
and Reed and Hogan, who calls himself
"Yorky," are well known to the police
of Minneapolis. We have evidence thai

While Sheriff Eye is not at liberty tt
admit that such is the case, it is be
lieved that Dugan made, a confession
