Detective Murphy yesterday was in

Hennessy Mercantile company. The
information gave the detective full par

of the four -conspirators whom he had

Mr.. Murphy made diligent search Cor
the four men but found only one Of
them, who rave his name as Harry

last night to keep close watch of the
Hennessy corner. Mr.. Williams pro-
tests his innocence and declares that
he was never engaged in m criminal
operation and never plotted in regard
to the Hennessy safe or any other. No
formal charge is made against him. but
he is being held awaiting further de-
velopments.

seems that the colored tolks down on
that alley came to the conclusion some
time ago that they could do better by
going into grating on the cooperative
plan instead of individually. They con
cluded TO bring grating up to the acme
of perfection, and to do this they form
ed a cooperative union. The motto 'in
union is strength" is applicable with
particular force to the colored people
of Pleasant Alley. They agreed that
all should be in on the graft whenever
a victim was obtained, that the profits
should be ivide according to a per-
centage scale. Everybody was to get
some share of the total. This plan was
worked successfully. 1t was found ad-

the time arrived for dividing the swag.
Then the row began. One of the women
claimed that the CRATER who worked

dissatisfied with their apportionment.

Yesterday Mr.. Yancey Informed the

morning trying TO get evidence against
Charbarneau, but they could not find
any. The officer who made the arrest
said that Charbarneau had taken undue
liberties with little Mary Sheehan in a
blacksmith shop. Mary said that
Charbarneau mad only been kissing her,
bur neither she nor her mother wanted
to prosecute the man for a little thing
like that.

A suit for &c. 900 damages was
brought in the district court yester-
day against John Huerth by Harry
Custer through his mother and guard
ian, Minnie Custer. The complaint in
the case recites the fact that Mrs.
Custer is a widow and hat the plain
tiff is her 10-year-old son. On the 18th
of September, 1897, she rented a house
of the defendant at Az Watson ave-
nue. for a residence. The defendant re-
sided in the adjoining house and was
engaged with several employees In
building a fue on the house. They
used a heavy ladder, which they placed
against the house and allowed II to
remain there until Nov. s. 1t was too
heavy for Mrs. Custer to move and 1t
remained standing in a dangerous po-
sition until the boy, of tender years,
climbed w on ii and fell, breaking mis-
right arm and inficting a permanent
injury, for which she demands a judG-
ment for $4,000. Lewis A. Smith is
her attorney.
