Last Night

1t is regretted that the reported capture OF
Charles, alias Gal" Saduskey, the murderer
Of Charles Ringheiser in this town on the
18th of March, 1895 has not proved true. Up
to this morning il was confidently believed
that the murderer was in custody and that by
Monday he would be safely landed behind
the bars of the Pottsville Jail, and unfortun.
ately this confidence was maintained by the
kilograms from the western part of the state
until after an officer lad departed to claim
the prisoner, thus creating additional expense
in the case without any fruitful returns.
The false hope in the capture was aroused
yesterday by a telegram received at noon
by Chief of Police Murphy from John Ken
nedy, Chief Of Police at Apollo, Armstrong
county. The message read "Haye man sup
posed to be Saduskey, murderer of Ring
heiser March 10, 1s0s. Wire description.
Do you want him %
The description was promptly tolegraphed
in reply and at 5l5 o'clock last evening an
other message was received, stating: Charles
Saduskey. Left eye has heavy cast.
Weight 100 pounds. l. tiers G.. c. on left
arm. Height feet a inches Aged 21.
Am sure it is your man. His people live
here. Party away on hobo at the time of
this murder"
The description returned tailed exactly
with that of the murderer with the two ex-
ceptions that Saduskey's weight when here
was lI7 pounds and the initials tattooed on
his LETT arm were &c. So One thing, how
ever, caused strong doubt, aud that was the
statement that the parents of the suspect
uLdor arrest live at Apollo. oadusk, y s
parents live here.
Shortly before eight o'clock last night a
third telegram was received, stating My
message this p. m. should read G. s. on arm.
Party further states he was in Pottsvile last
Spring." This led to another conference,
and it was finally concluded that Constable
Matt. Giblon should 60 to Apollo. The Of
ficer started last night and was expected to
reach his destination at about noon to-day.
During the night the police at Apollo had
evidently devoted time to questioning the
prisoner in their custody and tracing his
movements with unsatisfactory results, as a
| telegram was received from them shortly be-
fore nine o'clock this morning 1t contained
the information, Am now in doubt as to this
being party wanted by you" and soon after
still another Telegram was received from
| Kennedy, in which he said he did not be-
lieye that the prisoner was Saduskey.
THE CARBoNDALE AFFAIR.
! Policeman Martin Mullahy went to Scran-
ton this morning to see if he could identify
any more of the five men in custody there
for the Carbondale robbery as residents of
Shenandoah william, alias Butch
Zollner's Identification has been made be-
yond question. He is in Jail under the name
of William Zerbe. There is strong belief
on the part of the police and others of town
that all the Carbondale robbers, including
the man shot dead, the one shot through the
lung, and the man shot through the
arm, are residents of this town, and consti
tute the same gang who robbed the Lost
Creek store, John Hazledine's place in the
Catawissa valley, and Zimmerman's and
Duelps places in town. or course, none Of
the men can be brought here until the
Lackawanns county authorities get through
with them, and that time is not likely to
arrive for several years. The general i'm.
preston is that all tho men will get long
terms for the Carbonate affair
