The Belle Roulette was then being

before with the first savings of the fam

make but slow progress in drawing this
heavy vehicle. In fact, the weight was

HIS PURSUERS MOUNTED.
For Hours the Fugitive Keeps
Ahead of the Angry
Mob.
FINDS A SAFE HIDING PLACE
A Building He Enters Is Surrounded,
but the Runner Cannot Be
Found.

VINELAND, N. j., July ia good
portion of the male residents of this place
are tonight securing the city and sur
rounding country for Walter Squared,
who is charged with attacking the six
year-old daughter of Charles Mingin. The
search has been going on since last night.
The crime occurred yesterday, and be-
came known in town last night. Harry
Chandler, a wealthy manufacturer, offered
a reward of 500 for the capture of Squar-
rel. Liveryman Carlo followed this up
by offering all his horses and wagons for
the free transportation of those wishing to
take part in the search. About 200 men
started on the hunt.
The negro made for the swamps, three
miles away, and remained there in safety
last night and to-day. Tonight, however,
he found the swamp getting too hot for
him, and about 8 o'clock made break to
get away in the darkness across the coun-
try.
Constable Nickersen and his son were on
guard not far from the point where Squar-
,rell broke from the swamp, and gave
chase. Nickerson fired his pistol to signal
another constable that the negro was in
sight. The constable for whom the signal
was meant started on run. There was a
group of men with him. The horses avail
able were pressed into service, and men
started down all the roads and paths with
as many as could follow the trail taken by
the fugitive, and Nickerson was but hun
dred yards behind the fugitive when the
race began.
The negro ran diagonally away from the
town toward the north. He was close to a
pike when one of the wagon-loads of men
that set off down that road came up. and
to avoid them Squarrell had to turn about.
The change in his course headed him di-
rectly toward this place. He had no
choice, for the hunters were on the other
three sides of him.
The negro showed great endurance.
About 10 o'clock this evening he reached
the northern part of Vineland. He ran
down a street and was less than twenty
yards in front of dozen men. Squared
was winded, and so were his pursuers. The
man passed close to young woman
standing by her gate. She says he was pant
ing and seemed ready to drop. He turned
into yard short distance down the
street. The house in the yard was occu-
pied by colored woman named Crawford.
The pursuers surrounded the house.
Within ten minutes a bowling mob OF
men, women and boys were about the
place. Nickerson, with the leaders, searched
the house from the roof to the cellar, but
did not find Squarrell. Meanwhile every
outbuilding and possible hiding place in
the neighborhood was searched by others
without success.
Those who took part in the chase across
the country say the negro set stiff pace
and hesitated at nothing, going through
brooks, fields and bitches in the darkness
as easily as he would run on the country
roads. The general opinion is that il
caught before the officers lay hands on
him Squarrell will never have to stand trial
for his alleged crime. The men searching
for him were armed. Squarrell has bad

the prison. While visiting the condemned
man he said to him:
Buchanan, want to ask you question
and you need not answer it unless you
want to, and that is regarding your little
child. Is she yours?"
Buchanan looked at his questioner a
moment and then said:
"Well, / must admit that she is not
mine. My present wife never had child.
The child now in her possession is an
adopted daughter. We adopted her when
she was two days old. The child never
saw her mother and | never met her again
after | took the child from her. promised
the woman to adopt the child over eight
years ago. The child looks upon my
present wife as her MOTHER
Buchanan and his wife claimed to the
last that the child was theirs Before
Buchanan's death Mrs. Buchanan's
father. in an interview, stated that the
child was not his daughters. Mrs. Bu-
chanan claimed that her father was
wrong in the interview and claimed that
the child was her own. The man who
spoke to Buchanan on the subject was
with the condemned man more or less
every day during his confinement in the
death chamber. Just thirty minutes be-
fore Buchanan was executed, and while
kneeling down in prayer, he asserted his
innocence to God of the crime for which he
was executed.

ROOT NOT A HYPNOT|ST,
Judge Woods Decides That He
Is Just an Ordinary
Mortal.
Acquitted Of the Charge Of Exerols-
ing the Occult Power Over
Henry w. Dixon.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 13.-Judge Wood,
of the Cook County Circuit Court yester-
day decided that Henry A. Root of New
York does not and did not possess hyp-
motto power. James w. Dixon, acting for
his rich relative, Henry w. Dixon, had
undertaken to convince Judge Woods that
Mr.. Root could persuade people to release
their fortunes by merely making few
mysterious passes with his hands and
fixing his bright eyes on victim la
Svengali. Root strenuously denied that
he was gifted with any such power.
Root has become famous as the man who
broke Millionaire Andrew J. Davis will in
the Montana courts. He is nephew Oh
the old millionaire, and for nearly five
years has been fighting in the courts for his
share of the estate, variously estimated at
from Sc. OO0, 900 to $1,000, 900. Some years
ago he was attorney for Henry w. Dixon,
son of United States Senator Dixon OF
Connecticut, who formerly lived at Hart
ford, Conn.,, and later at Flushing, l.. [.
Dixon was not regarded as being very ro-
bust mentally. His relatives became
alarmed and charged that Root had him
under a peculiar spell and was taking ad-
vantage of his power to use Dixon's fortune
for his own benefit.
The trial came off here before Judge
Woods, who found that there was no un-
due influence by way of positive or agrees
sive acts exercised by Root over Dixon,
and that there was no actual fraud in any
of Roots dealings with Dixon. AS to
Henry W. Dixon the court said:
''Tbere is great conflict in the evidence
bat, after a careful and painstaking con-
sideration of it in all its bearings, the court
has reached the conclusion that while
there are many eyide noes of marked intel
ligence in certain directions in Henry w.
Dixon, and, in literary way, it may be
said that he had more than the ordinary
capacity. yet he was for many years prior
to May 81, 1881, a weak minded man, and
it sets aside the trust made by Dixon to
Root and Stern
AS to James w. Dixon the court said
"The court had reached the further con-
clusion that the man appointed by the
New York court, James W. Dixon, as
shown by the evidence, is not such a
person as the court would deem it adj
visable to give the custody OF Henry w.
Dixon's estate to. 1t seems unnecessary
to the court to discuss or characterize
the actions of Dixon as shown by the evil
dence,"
Judge Woods ordered that the trust
fund be transferred to the Illinois Trust
and Savings Bank, and that Henry A.
Root be required to account to the Illinois
Trust and Savings Bank for all moneys
received by him for the account of Henry
w. Dixon, and that Root be credited with
all payments made by him for or on ac-
count OF Dixon which were necessary, rea-
sonable or proper, or which were made by
order of Dixon.
