Louis Maverick Slain by
Two Negro Desperadoes
for Robbery.
Capture and Confession of One
of the Criminals Cause
Wild Excitement.
Strategy and Prompt Action by Officers
Prevents a Storming of the
Jail and Lynching.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. 29.-Louis MAYER
ick, the proprietor of boarding camp on
the drainage canal near Lemont, was
deserted portion of Summit, southwest of
this city last night, robbed and stoned to
death.
The crime resulted in the widest excite
ment at Lemont, and hundreds OF citizens
started out to assist the police in capturing
the men. This afternoon Henry Rocker
and John Lattimer, both negroes, were
arrested on the drainage canal not far
from Summit and lodged in Jail. Rocker
afterward confessed, and when this was
rumored about, a mob collected and it
was with difficulty that the authorities
protected the prisoner from violence.
The excited citizens threatened to force
an entrance into the Jail where the two
men were locked up and lynch them. The
streets in the vicinity of the Jail were
growing crowded with excited men, and
the authorities fearing that violence
would be committed, separated the two
prisoners. Rocker was hurried out through
rear way and taken to the Willow
Springs Jail, and in order to quiet the mob
of the guilt OF the prisoners. By 10 o'clock
the crowd had dispersed.
Last evening Maverick, accompanied by
his nephew, was walking along tow path
in Summit Rocker and Lattimer, who,
it is claimed, were concealed behind some
shrubbery, attacked them and began beat
ing them with stones. Mavericks nephew
fed, but the latter received blow on the
head which rendered him senseless. As
soon as the police were notified of the
assault they went to where Maverick was
when the attack was made and found his
body living across the path. His head
and body were severely bruised where he
had been pel3ed with the stones. Officers
and citizens were sent in every direct ion
and Rocker and Lattimer were captured
The nephew of the dead man identified
them and when Rocker was confronted
with this he gave up and made full con
fession. He charged Lattimer with hav-
ing killed Maverick, and admitted that
they divided $50, the proceeds of the
robbery

the contest off at Coney Island. and 1 shall
give him a few days time to try to patch
matters up and show the police We do not
intend engaging in prize fight.
However, l have every hope of meet
S ing Fltzsimmons in this vicinity. Why,
was offered a $27, 900 purse tonight TO
box Fitzsimmons on Broadway, and later
had an increased offer from another or
ganization. This shows there are some
people who can box in this city, and why
shouldn't we? We are not sluggers, and
our contest could not degenerate into a
brutal contest.
II saw Dan Stuart's 5000 offer, but 1
think we are worth more than that, and /
propose giving other people fair chance
to bid. But will fight FItzsimmons be-

noon at o'clock and registered as z. L.
Bryan, giving his address as Chicago.
He was shown to room on the second
floor. This was at $50 o'clock on Satur-
day evening and he was not seen alive
after this.
The man appeared to Clerk Cathcart to
be nervous, but nothing was thought oil
his manner. He was well dressed, wear
ing black diagonal suit. The first sus-
picion that something was wrong was
raised when the housekeeper noticed the
light burning in his room.
She notified Manager E. f. Sweet, who
went to the room with porter. The door
was locked. AS it was next to the fire.
escape the porter was directed to climb to
the room by this means.
Lying stretched out on the outside OF
the bed was Bryan, dressed. The body
was taken to Robinson's undertaking
rooms on Adams street.
It is now thought the suicides name
was Edgar Lyle, supposed TO be from
Pittsburg. Tonight an express receipt
was found which showed that E. L. Bryan
had shipped by the Adams Express from
Pittsburg, Pa. November 49, one telescope
valise to Chicago.
The Adams Express Office in this CITY
was visited tonight and the valise be-
longing to the dead man was found, Itwas
opened and found to contain, beside a
quantity of clothing. an excellent photo
graph of the dead man and number oil
visiting cards engraved Edgar Lytle.'
One suit of clio thes was made by Pitts
burg tailors and another by Burton C.
Stout, Wheeling. W. Va. Both coats bore
the name of Edgar Lytle on a tab under
the collar.
While there were no letters or papers OF
any kind in the valise, the marks on the
clothing ana the photograph and cards OF
the dead man made it apparent that he
was Edward Lytle. and not E. L. Bryan,
as his signature on the hotel register
would indicate.
