THE WEAPON USED
TO KILL SWEENEY
Was Found ON the Wharf Yesterday
and Turned Over to the Police.
Chief CIemans and Prosecuting At
torney Meyers Went Up to Pitts
burg to Interview a Suspect Under
Arrest in That City. 81

Yesterday Chief Clemans and Lieut..
Miehaels, who have been working dill
igently to clear up the mystery sur
rounding the killing of James Sweeney
succeeded in finding the revolver from
which it is supposed that the fatal
shot was fired. The weapon was dis
covered at the upper end of the wharf
boat, under the end of an old John
boat" gT
Yesterday morning Chief Clemans
also received word from Pittsburg,
which indicated that the man arrest
ed on the Keystone State Sunday
morning may have been indulging in
some tall lying. Chief Clemans had
wired the Pittsburg authorities to re-
lease "Parkersburg Nike" as he was
not the man who was wanted for the
murder. In the meantime, however,
the Pittsburg police worked on their
prisoner with such success that they
answered Chief Clemans that Park
ersburg Mike" had made a partial
confession, and they would hold him.
Yesterday afternoon Chief Clemans
and Prosecuting Attorney Meyer went
up to Pittsburg to interview the pris-
oner. They returned late last night,
and Immediately went to their homes.
The Register communicated with the
police headquarters but could not learn
whether they brought the prisoner
back with them or what the result of
their visit was.
At the Jail it was learned that Chief
Clemans brought in prisoner named
Henry Roach, with commitment
from Justice w. w. Rogers.

EXCELLENT BALL

WIS the Feature OF the opening In-
terscholastic Game, Which Results
ed, City High school 6, LinsIy 3.
The City High School and the Linsly
Institute opened the interscholastic
season yesterday afternoon at the ISL
and ball park. The game was interesting
and exceptionally well played for anna
teur teams. Hess's pitching won the
game for the High Shcool. In only
two innings did he let down, but only
then when the High School had the
game well in hand. Killmyer was hit
freely, but he kept them well scatter
ed and had it not been for Deignan's
errors at second at critical stages, the
xresufts would have been different.
Duvall for the Lirsly played the best
game, and Pickett and Conrad for
High School.

COLUMBUS. Ohio. May THE
Wheeling ball club opened here to-day
for a series of three games to about
five hundred people. The Columbus
grounds are the worst in the league,
which accounts for the heavy hitting
and bad fielding. The special featul es
of to-day's game was the brilliant field
ing of Rothermel and Pequinney and
Pardees home run with the bases full.
Manager Lyle leaves for Cincinnati to-
morrow to make an effort to have Bates
join the club. 1t is very evident that
Columbus will have to strengthen if
they wish to prove this city valuable
acquisition to the Interstate league.

the price Of lead from $40 to $40.
This is the first change in prices since
