HARDIN'S CRIMINAL RECORD.
Pinkerton Agency Gives His Career In
n Letter to Superintendent Colbert.

Some interesting information relative to
the past history OF Charles A. Hardin,
who gave the name OF Dick Wilson when
arrested for stealing a tray Of diamonds
Tuesday, is disclosed in a letter received
by Superintendent Colbert from the Pinker-
ton Detective Agency. of Chicago, yester-
day. The letter says Hardin's real name
is Charles A. Ketchum and that he was
born in Louisville, KY, thirty years ago.
His career as a criminal began when he
was fourteen years old. At that time he
was employed as a messenger boy by
carpet house at Louisville. He was charged
with making keys to letter boxes and alb
stracting checks which he attempted to
pass. After lying in jail eight months he
was discharged on account OF his youth.
Ten years later he was heard of in Kan
sas City, where he was employed by j. O.
King. a coal merchant. He was convicted
of robbing the Chicago & Alton railroad OF
5000 worth of grain and sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary. His wife. known
as Minnie Brown, took saws to the Jail
and he escaped. In 1882 he exchanged bag
gage checks with a jewelry salesman and
In 1886 he was discharged from the Missouri
pententiary after having served a term
for this crime. The letter then gives de-
tailed account of the Adams Express rob-
the alias of Charles A. Hardin. He was
acquitted of this charge and afterwards
Joined his wife, noted shoplifter, the let

Chicago and other cities in the West, and
there are several warrants in the hands
OF the Chicago police for his arrest. He
is described as being daring, dangerous,

out of the meshes of the law.

MR.. HANSEN'S RECITAL.


Mr.. Charles F. Harsen gave the second
of his organ recitals last evening at Me-
ridian-street Church. One always expects
Mr.. Hansen to play a programme of high
class music correctly and with true mu-
sicianly feeling and Interpretation. He
never disappoints, and has always at his
fingers ends a repertoire of choice selec-
tons.
The programme last evening contained
masterpieces in the Grand March from
Aida" the 'Tntermezzo'' from MascagnPs
opera, the 'Andante of the Fifth Sym
phony," by Beethoven, and the prelude to
the Third Act of Lohengrin." In addition,
he played the Pilgrims Chorus" by re-
quest. He also gave two of his compost
tions, Christmas Pastorale." OF quiet,
tender style, the theme too often repeated
to sustain the first interest The second was

full OF surprises in meditation and tempo.
There were other selections, all well chosen
and admirably played. Mr.. Hansen has the
faculty OF getting all the music possible

Massenet. In response 10 the latter Miss
Walker gave a dainty, poetic little song OF

improved. She has a range admirable for
oratorio and other heavy works, and also a
style particularly fitted for such gems as
lullabies. Her most magnificent work of
the evening was the 20 Lamb OF God by
Bizet, sung with piano and organ accom-

Next week Governor Matthews viii name
eleven members OF the metropolitan police
boards. one for each OF the following cities:
Terre Haute, South Bend, Michigan City,
Elkhart. Anderson. Muncie. Logansport, La
fayette. New Albany, Jacksonville and
Richmond There are three members COM
posing each board, and the term of one ex-
pires each year. The new appointments
must be made before next Tuesday. The
men viii be of both parties. Elkhart
leads the list with petitions and indorse-
ments that make bulky package. There
seems 10 be little interest IN some OF the
cities.
The metropolitan police law applies to all
cities OF over 10000 Inhabitants, except those
operating under special charters. Elwood
and Kokomo are probably large enough now
20 come under the law, but were not at the
last census. 1t is within the power of the
Mayor OF these cities TO order a special
census to determine the question, but this
has not been done.

what was wanted. The Health Board men,

that the situation was thoroughly under
