Mrs. william ). Tussey Claims That She
Gave the Information Which Led TO the
Capture of Harris.
Mrs. William ]. Tussey, living at No. 8
West Twentieth street. claims that she
gave the Information which led to the cap
lure Of Harris, the escaped jail-bird, and
she thinks that she is entitled to portion
of the reward at least
The story rs toll by Mrs. Tnssey Is to the
effect that she was the first one who saw
Harris. She saw him come across the
fields and enter the house Of his mother,
on Market Street near Twentieth, by jump
ing the fence and going III the back door.
Mrs. russcy SAYS Welsh. the officer who
arrested Harris, was nowhere about at
that time, but she kept watch and when
the policeman did put in an appearance
she hurriedly told him that Harris was in
the house. whereupOn the officer lost no
time III going in after him.
The statement given ont at the time OF
the arrest was that Welsh saw Harris
crossing the lots in the direction of his
home and, lying in wait until he entered
| the house. followed Elm in and put him
! under arrest. This does not agree with
| the tale told by Mrs. rHssey.
Mrs Tussey called on the sheriff last
! Friday in reference to the payment of the
reward but tue sheriff was unable to dc
anything that would give the LADY any CHI
| enlargement
When seen on Monday by reporter Of
| TIE GAZETTE Sheriff ellis said the re
| ward Is now ready ami will be paid to the
officers who captured the men, Harris and
| Dutton. The spirit of the reward offered
according to the sheriff's interpretation
was for the capture of the men and not fol
