arried with him in black bag.
When he arrived at Montreal junction
ne did not know exactly what to do, but
as fate would have 1t, the late Boston
express was stan ding there, and he i'm
med1ately slipped aboard and came to
montreal, arriving at p. M. here he
took cab, and drifted and drove from
saloon to saloon, from fast house to fast
house. Finally he came to ths celebrated
resort of Aggie Ashton and there he
blew" all the money mortal could blow
IN wine for about three hours
u For q while the women thought that
they had an American dignitary In dis
guise, and then subsequently, 1t dawned
upon the mistress that he looked great
deal like man who Detective Carpenter
had told her was the murderer, SO she
i quietly went and telephonsd to tho Gem
trail Police stetion and Detectives Cam
tpeau and O'Ksefe came and arrested him.
Kelley is the coolest man TINT has ever
beon seen In Montreal under similar cir
cumstances. He was smoking cigars and
talking al calmly and nHconcernedly as
II no was In his own room.
Before retiring this morning no asked
for sonnet hing to eat, and, half a dozen
Sandwiches and some coffee were pro-
/ yideh. He ate but three 0t the sand
wichsa, drank two cups of coffee and
went calmly to sleep.
cHIEF CARPENTER AS A DETECTIVE.
Due to His Efforts That Kelley Was
Captured.
Montreal, Que, April 2O.-The capture
of Joseph II. Kelley, accused of the mur-
der of Joseph A. Stickney, cashier of
the Great Falls National bank Of Somers-
WORTH, N. H., here last night who was
arrested in house of ill-fame, dressed in
a woman's garb, is due to the efforts Of
chief Of detectives, Siias H. Carpenter.
On Keiley's person, when arrested, were
found concealed $e70O and TWO letters.
i One letter wns addressed to Kelley's
i father and stated that an accompli
whose nnme he claimed he did not know,
but who was an intimate with him in
ireformatory somewhere In New Hamp-
shire had done the murder.
The original design was merely to
scare Stickney by showing a revolver,
4 Kelley waiting outside while the accom-
itplioe accomplished the robbery. The
other letter was in a similar strain and
addressed to girl named Olive.
Chief Carpenter probably has the Wild
t'est experience in this class Of detective
work Of any man in Canain. Ever since
the murder he has been watching every
train arriving or parting for points in
4 the province, and has himself been active
lily working on the trail.
1t WAS at Aggie Ashton's that Walton,
who robbed the National Express Jom-
itpany of Dallas, Texas. OF $25, 200 made
his headquerters subsequently being cap
;Itured on board steamer sailing for
Kingston, Jamaica.
The officers have left for st. Cletts this
1smorning, place about thirty miles from
'Ihe.e where Kelley buried the remainder
Of his plumber.
