Some few days ago the police were
looking for a negro fugitive from JUS
tice who is wanted in Chicago for muir
der. The fugitives name was Matt
Lee and worked for some time for Hal
lock & Holiday at the job of arching
the south end of the Terminal Knnel,
on the South Side. Hallock & Holiday
have had force Of men, many of whom
are negroes, working at the tunnel for
several weeks past. Among those en-
plOyed was Lee, who came direct from
Chicago. Previous to this the police
had received photograph and descrip-
ton of Lee and it was finally discov-
cred that he had been working in
Wheeling for several weeks. Lee left,
though, just before it was discovered
that he was working at the Terminal
tunnel. Timekeeper Pickett has rec
ord of the time that Lee was employed.
Lee gave his true name and his de-
scription tales fully with the descrip-
ton sent by the Chicago police. He is
a dark brown mulatto, about 6 feet 2
inches in height. weight 210 to 220
pounds. Lee evidently got wind of the
fact that he was wanted and left, saying
that he was going to Pittsburg. The
police say that he was wanted in Chi
cagO for being accessory to a murder
and had been indicted for murder.
Kitty st. Clair, the Wetzel county
woman who killed a man by the name
of Louis Jones, near Pine Grove, last
Tuesday, has been brought to the city
and lodged in the county Jail, owing to
the nsecurity of the New Martinsville
Jail. AS detailed in the Register, the
St Clair woman kept house of pros
titution on the south fork of Fishing
creek, four miles east of Pine Grove.
Jones was an oil we'll driller and
man who had a bad reputation. He
went to Mrs. ST. Clair's house and de-
manded admittance. After doing some
damage he was taken away, but re-
turned in a short time, swearing he
would kill the St. Clair woman, who
got revolver and locked herself in
a room. Jones kicked the door down
and she shot him. The ball entered
his right side and passed near the
heart. He died in few minutes, and
the st. Clair woman Immediately tried
to commit suicide by taking bichloride
of mercury. She was in a precariOus
condition for some time, but finally
recovered by the aid of restoratives.
Since she has been brought to Wheel
ing she has refused to talk with any
reporters, saying that she has been so
advised by her attorneys. Kitty" st.
Clair is a former Wheeling woman,
and for some time was bartender at
Mother" Bunch's Fulton resort, and
was afterwards at Kitty Lees. She is
a pretty blonde with blue eyes, and is
about twentythree years Of age.

GARDEs AND GlRAULT CoNvIC.
TED.-The trial of Henry Gardes,
w. w. Girauit and ThOs. Ii. I'M
derwoOd, for wrecking the Ameri-
can National Bank, which has been
IN progress for the past week in
the United States District Court
in New Orleans, terminated in the
conviction of Gardes and Giranlt
and the acquittal of Underwood.
Gardes was President and Girault
Cashier of the wrecked Bank. Un
derwood had no connection with
the Bank officially aud knowl
edge of the criminal transactions
of Underwood & Co., could not be
directly or positively traced to
him, hence the jury gave him the
benefit of the doubt. Any person
who has followed the evidence
closely from the inception till the
termination of the trial, must con
clude that the verdict is correct as
to the other two defendants.-
Judge Parlasge refused them bail
