Under Arrest Charged With killing
Seven People In California.
Columbus, o., Dec. 2S.-There Is under
arrest in this city man whom tina
police have strong reason to believe Ia
James C.. Dunham for whom there Is a
reward of $11, 900 offered dead or alive,
at San Jose, Cal. He was picked up
here by Detective Louis Wolf. of the
local force, as a suspicious character.
He gave the name of Harry Wilson

he said his right name was Harry
Church, and that he was born in Sac
ramento, CAL, from which point he
started out two years ago. At diff
ferent places here before his arrest h.,
gave the names of H. V. Morris. Il. H.
Ross Harry Lewis and Harry Howard.
Mrs. Church is in the city, but she
says she knows very little about her
husband, having met him but two years
ago, and does not even know his busi-
ness They Were married in Illinois.
The crime for which Durham, whom
Church Is suspected Of being. is wanted
was most atrocious one. At lonely
farmhouse, between San Jose and Los
Gatos. Santa Clara county, Cal, on the
night of Tuesday, May rs, 1896, James
G. Durham slew all the occupants of
the residence save one, his baby boy.
His wife. her mother, her stepfather.
her brother, a man and maid servant
were sacrificed. They. were all mem

Robert A. Brisco, who sheltered Nc
Glncy. was alss shot to death. Dun
ham escaped, despite strenuous efforts
to caDtllre him.

Philadelphia. Dec 2S-The report Of
Expert Accountant John Dougherty
upon the condition and earning Capac-
ity Of the Philadelphia Record ID pub
Nshed in the interest Of the creditors of
the wrecked Chestnut Street National
bank and the Trust and Sa 'ngs Fund
company. The late William M. Singer
ly, president of both the bank and the
trust company, was president as well
of the Record Publishing company, and
was in fact, though not in name. the
owner of The Record. The collapse Of
the two financial institutions a little
more than year ago was followed by
the discovery that Mr. Singery was
heavily indebted to both. and. with a
view to making good his indebtedness,
he arranged prior to his death that, so
far as possible. the earnings of The
Record property and the proceeds of Its
sale should be devoted to the cancella-
tion of its obligation to the depositors.
Mr.. Dougherty's report, it Is UNDER
stood, was made to the banking house
of Drexel & Co., at the time when the
banks Of this city proposed to come to
the relief of Mr.. Singerly and prevent
the failure Of his twin financial insti-
tutions.
The Record has since passed under
the management Of Messrs George Fl.
Earle, Jr and Richard Y. Cook These
gentlemen are the assignees of the
Trust company, and Mr.. Earle Is the
receiver Of the bank. Statements re-
Gently credited to them declare that
the earning capacity of the paper has
been greatly exaggerated, and that it
is earning less than 100000 year, and
that there have recently been heavy ex-
penditures for machinery. etc. This is
denied by Mr.. Dougherty.
The experts report shows also that
The Record was. up to the time Messrs.
Earle and Cook took hold, one Of the
most valuable newspaper properties in
the country. and fully equipped. The
average net earnings for the seven
yeass ending June 80, 1897. are shown
to have been $243, ,0O0 and in seven and
one-third years Mr.. Singerly put in his
pocket in cash. out of the earnings of
The Record, the huge sum of 81 600, 900,
although excessive prices were paid for
paper from Singerly's mill. Mr. Dough-
erty declares:
TT has been a profitable business,
growing steadily, and Is today, I am
advised, doing a larger business than
at any period in its history l consider
the property as a whole great money
