CRACKERNEcK CONVICTED.

John Kennedy Goes to- the Peniten-
tiary for seventeen Years.
HARTvILLE, Mo, June ao.-John Ken
nedy;s the notorious Graekerneck, has
finally been convicted, ,}of train robbery.
The jury before. whom Kennedy was
tried for completely in the robbery of an
express train on the Kansas City, Fort
Scott & Memphis railroad, at Maconh.
Mo-, on jan Blast, returned a verdict at
O'Clock this evening adjudging Ken
nedy guilty as charged, and fixing his
punishment at seventeen years in. the
state penitentiary. Under the Missouri
law the death penalty might have been
imposed 47H
Six men were actually engaged in the
Macomb hold-up. OF these Jake Fegely,
who received a penitentiary sentence of
fourteen years. and John Kennedy, have
been convicted: Old Bill Ryan, a member
OF the notorious old james gang; Joe
Sheppard, son of a member sof the old
gang; Louis Nigh. a young farmer of
this county, and Elmer Bryan, also a.
farmer, are the others accused of COM
plicity in the held-up. Their trials will
follow that Of Kennedy. Elmer Bryan
having made full confession, and hav-
ing aided the state in convicting Fegely
and Kennedy, will probably not be Sc
verely punished.
Kennedy, who has been looked upon as
the leader in this robbery, and in nu-
merouso robberies IN the, vicinity of Kan
sas City, was the culprit whom the rail-
road and express officials were most
anxious to convict.
Kennedy is under Indictment in Kan
sas City for the killing of Miss Emma
Schumacher, who was shot down by
highwaymen who robbed her grocery
store in December, 1881.

which, 1t is alleged, furnishes a motive
for the supposed abduction The police of
New York, Boston, Portland and Mon
treal have been notified to be on tho
watch for the party. The father and his
attorney believe that the object of the
alleged abductors is to take the young
man out of the countrY.

Witness Tells Industrial Commits

WASHINGTON, June 2O-At the after
noon session the industrial commission
listened to a statement by Mr.. P. H.
Iovejoy, a merchant and planter of
Hawkinsville, Ga. He spoke especially
of the relations of the local merchants
and the farmers. The merchants them
selves had not been prosperous for sew
eral years. They were compelled to make
the majority of their sales on credit, and
had to take mortgages upon the land of
the farmers, if they had any, or on their
crops, if they had no lands. Many of
them were not able to give collateral of
any value, and to such men sales were
made on large margins of profit.
1--WE size man up he said. eff he
is good we sell to him on a small mar
gin. If he is a hard case, we take what
he has and quit"
He said that freight rates from Georgia
to New York were about twice what
they are from New York to Georgia.
The large cities were evidently being
built up at the expense of the country.
Even the watermelon crop was unfavor-
able.

ons we pay the freight" he said. 1.-THE

ness"

TO PREVENT HIS SUICIDE.
WILLIAM L. PRIEBE, ACCUSED OF
EMBEZZLEMENT, ARRESTED
AS A PRECAUTIoN
He Admits Shortage IA His Ac-
counts, but Says 1t Is Not as
Large as His Employers Sus-
peet.


William L. Priebe, city manager for the
Singer Manufacturing company, dealers
In sewing machines, was locked up at the
central police station shortly after 10
o'clock last night on the charge Of en-
beZziement He admits being nearly ST.
GOO short in his accounts. General Man
ager w. S. MerTick says the shortage
may considerably exceed this amount
The immediate cause of Priebe's arrest
was a threat on his part that he would
end his trouble in death. He made a
sudden movement, as IL to draw a re-
volver with which to carry out his threat.
when Detective Sweeney, who had been
shadowtng him, pinioned Priebe's arms
and relieved him of a big revolver he
carried in his hip pocket.
This scene took place in front of the
Ryan hotel, after Priebe's Intellectual at
tempt to in some way compromise his
troubles. Manager Merrick had been cog
infant of Priebe's shortage for several
days, and the two had thoroughly dis
cussed the matter. Last evening Mr..
Merrick asked the police to keep track of
Priebe, and Detective Sweeney was put
on the case. Later Priebe sent for his
wife's uncle William F. Repke, of the
st. Paul Printing company. Mr.. Repke
responded to the message but regretfully
stated that he would be unable to help
Priebe out with any money. At this juno
ture Priebe made the threat of suicide,
and Detective Sweeney placed him under
arrest
Priebe has been city manager for the
Singer Manufacturing company for five
years. He lives with his wife and one
child at 452 Virginia avenue. According
to his story his was the old experience
Of using money belonging to some one
else with the hope of replacing it. He
lays his downfall to gambling, both in
stocks and at cards. He says he has lost
$1,000 of his own money within the last
year, as we'll as the other amount be-
longing to the company.
