JOHN CURRAN DEAD.-John Curran,
the well-known criminal, is dead and
was buried yesterday in Mount Olivet
cemetery, Washington. He died on
Saturday night last at the home of
"Billy" Williams, southeast Washing
ton, where he had gone TO spend the
last days of his life. Curran's death,
like his life, was violent one. As the
end approached his suflerings were ic-
tense. In his agony he tore the pas-
tering from the wall with his naked
hands, ripped the bedclothing into
shreds and struggled with the friends
who stood about him. The disease
from which Currau died was consump.
ton. The direct cause was hemor-
rhage. When death came the bed
on which he lay was soaked in
blood, the walls of the room were
spsttered with red blotches and those
with whom he had struggled were
smeared. Curran's career was long and
varied. 1t began twenty. odd years ago
and extended over the entire country.
There is not city of any size in the
United States that has not his picture
10 its rogues' gallery. He gained most
of his notoriety, however, in Washing
ton during his early manhood, aDd had
served in the penitentiary, having been
sent up on one occasion for ten
years for robbing paymaster on the
Chesapeake aud Ohio Canal. He was
with Billy Williams when Officer Ar
mold was murdered in this city in May,
1887, and was arrested, but nothing
could be proven against him and he was
released. He subsequently held up
man on Long Bridge and was compelled
40 leave Washington to avoid arrest.
He returned physical wreck few
days ago under an assumed name and
took up his abode with MS old compan-
ion, Williams, where, Us stated above,
ne died. He, it will be remembered,
was with Billy Williams when the lat
ter was arrested by Officer Slack at
Ivy City in 1883, when Williams was a
fugitive from justice, having escaped
from Jail in this city. Curran was the
Youngest ofseveral brothers, and nearly
forty years ago was neglected haxen.
haired TOT following his older broth
ers around tunnel town, and the
shipyard. His family lived in small
frame house on the west side of Royal
street, between Wilkes and Gibbon.
Throughout Cnrran's life he was an
outlaw OF the most dangerous species,
an on several occasions attempted to
kill officers who endeavored to arrest
him.
