THAT THEY HAVE CAUGHT AN
EMINENT PRISONER
RECALLS THE HARRIS MURDER
Three People in the City Who May
Be Able to Solve the Cues
ton of His Iden-
tity.
e LC6E'S MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
" 20 WASHINGTON Az SOUTH.

In the person Of John Driscoll, who was
released from the state penitentiary at
Saltwater Saturday morning and arrested
in Minneapolis Saturday night by officer
Matt Jones at DriscolPs own request. the
Minneapolis police have prisoner whose
past history is being very closely investi-
gated.
Driscoll is alleged by some people to be
none other than the "Johnstown Kid" a
much-wanted individual, who has figured
conspicuously in the police annals Of
Minneapolis largely because of the fact
that it is generally admitted that the
YOUNGSTOWN Kid is the man who fired
the shot which killed Joseph r. Harris
In the early fall of 1888 For this MUIR
der Slim" Dugan and Joe White are
now serving life sentences in Saltwater
prison. An attempt was made to rob the
Harris residence, at Fifteenth avenue
southeast and Sixth street, between and
o'clock one morning. Mr. Harris and
his wife were aroused by the burglars,
and Harris grappled with one of them
and was shot and killed. The burglars all
escaped.
DriscolPs identity is a matter of con-
siderable doubt. The probabilities are
that he is not the "Johnstown Kid" He
has, however, been under investigation
by Minneapolis detectives for several
days upon information furnished by the
prison authorities. Saturday detectives
went to saltwater, but Driscoll eluded
them and came direct to the Twin Cities.
He spent his SIS good-time money in
getting drunk in st. Paul and finally
wound up in Minneapolis, pawning his
overcoat Drunk, penniless and abso-
lutely friendless, Driscoll approached Of
ficer Jones and frankly told his story.
adding that he was afraid he would do
something while drunk, and wanted to
be locked up SO he would not get into
trouble.
One of the prison deputies is convinced
that Driscoll is really the "Johnstown
Kid" The information upon which he
bases this claim, although known to the
police, has not been made public Satur-
day morning, expecting that he would be
met by officers at the prison, Driscoll is
alleged to have told his guards that he
would lead the officers a merry chase be-
fore they would get him.
The general theory of the murder is
that Joe White was innocent of any con-
hection with the Harris murder. His
friends claim that while he left Sheri
dams saloon with the gang he separated
from them and was not in with the rob-
berry and murder. 1t is generally claim
ed that Slim" Dugan, Yorkey Rogers
and the Johnstown Kid were the perpe-
traitors OF this murder, the latter firing
the shot Neither Rogers nor the Kid
We're ever captured, although Sheriff Eye
paced under arrest a man known as
Iorkey Rogers, who proved not to be
the original Yorkey.-
The Johnstown Kid was heard of IN

ported 10 nave been sent to jail, but
the incidents are now forgotten. T. has

imaginary wrongs, John w. McKim,
aged twenty-nine years, today shot and
killed DR.. B. F. Shaw, his brotber-,n-Iaw
as the latter sat reading the Sunday
school lesson to his f1ve-year-old daugh-
ter. Shaw died instantly. McKfm, who
had been an inmate of a sanitarium, and
Is believed to be insane, threatened to kill
the other five members Of the. family, and
was only restrained after a struggle.
Dr. Shaw was a widower. His mother
in-law, Mrs. McI<im, had cared for his
children and his wife until she died. The
| doctor, as was his custom, spent Sunday
at the McKim house. After dinner Shaw
seated himself in a chair in the parlor.
and, with his child before him on the
floor was reading the Sunday school les
son to her.
McKim, as it developed later, had gone
directly to his room from the table and
written a rambling statement, in which
he said he had not been treated rightly,
and that he intended wiping out the
entire family, consisting of DR.. Shaw and
his child, his mother, two brothers and a
sister. Then, descending to the parlor,
he slipped up behind Shaw and, placing
the revolver against the latter, fired DR..
Shaw died before the family could reach
his side.
AS the other members of the family
came running to the scene McKfm c3olly
raised his revolver to fire at the first who
appeared. Before he could fire a second
time, however, he was overpowered by
his two brothers and taken to the sta
ton. There the murderer refused to talk,
and appeared unconcerned.
Dr. Shaw was prominent in his profess
sion. McKim has been considered of I'M
sound mind for several years, and was
discharged from a local sanitarium two
years ago as cured. Recently, however,
he had acted queerly. The McKims are
we'll to do.

GET A NOTED CRIMINAL
NEW YORK POLICE AGAIN HAVE
HENRY RUSSELL CORRALLED.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Henry Russell
and Sid Yennie, ALIAS Henry Ferguson,
who claim to be speculator and salesman,
respectively, have been arrested on sus-
picion of being connected with the rob-
berry of Healy's restaurant, at Columbus
avenue and SiXty-siXth street, on Mon
day last. On that day a number of well
dressed men, in couples, went to Healy s
restaurant to dine. After the meal one
of the men attracted the attention of the
cashier while another crawled into
where the safe stood and stole 500. All
the men had disappeared before the rob-
berry was discovered.
Today the walters In Healy's restau-
rant identified Russell as one of the men.
Although it may not be possible for the
police to fasten this robbery on either
of the prisoners, the arrests were of i'm
portance, for the two men caught are
well known criminals, and Russell IS
wanted as being "a fugitive from justice,
being one of those who escaped from
Ludlow street Jail on the memorable
night of July 4, 1895. After his escape
from the Jail, Russell and Joe Kiloran
and Charles Allen, companions in his
flight from Ludlow street, went to Eu-
rope together. There the party split up,
Kiloran and Allen joining hands, while
Russell united his fortunes with those
of George Williams and Amelia Kill, two
continental criminals.
Not long afterward Russell was arrest
ed in Belgium for robbing a postofice
and was sent to prison for five years. He
was liberated about three months ago
and came to the United States. Sid Yen
ME is scarcely a less important crook
than his fellow prisoner. He has just
been released from the state prison at
Columbus, O., after serving tive-year
sentence for a robbery committed by him,
in company with George Carson, noted
burglar and sneak thief:
Russell who Is a son-in-law of Bill
Vosburg, is wanted by the United States
authorities for postoffice robberies, and a
reward of $1,000 was long ago offered for
his apprehension. In case the police fail
to connect Russell with the Healy rob-
berry he will be turned over to the United
States authorities. =, IN

FRANKFORT, Ky, April 1.-The con-
Vening Of the April term Of the Franklin
circuit court tomorrow, with Judge Can
trill sitting, marks the beginning Of the
final legal proceedings against the al
legged ASA ssins of the late Gov GoebeI,
and on this account makes it the most i'm
portant in the history of criminal trials
in this state in many years. The session
Of the court will be taken up mainly to-
morrow with preliminaries. The names
of the grand jurors Will not be made pub
lie until tomorrow. Judge Cantrells
charge to the grand jury, always Wig
orous and comprehensive, is looked for
ward to with more than ordinary inter
est.
The grand jury will probably get in
working order Tuesday, and the assas-
sination case will be the first matter tax
en- up 1t is understood that Common
wealth's Attorney Franklin, who will
conduct the prosecution on the present
trial. has had subpoenas issued for many
important witnesses, and others will be
issued as soon as the court gets down to
work.
The names of the suspects who have al
ready been arrested and whose cases have
been referred to the grand Jury for in
vestigation, are Republican Secretary Of
State Caleb Powers, Judge William Haze
lip, Lakeland; Henry Youtzey, Frank
fort; j. L. Sutton, Williamsburg; Har-
land Whitaker, Butter county; Silas
| Jones, Whitley county, and John Davis,
Frankfort. Warrants are also out for
| ex-Secretary of State Charles Finley,
| Capt. John L. Powers, of Knox county,
and "Tallow Dick Coombs, colored, all
of whom except the last named have not
| yet been arrested.
1t is not probable any indictments win
be returned before the latter part Of the
week at the earliest, and if the prosecu-
| ton makes good it's claims the inVestiga-
ton will involve a large number of 9TH
ers against whom indictments will be
| returned.
The general impression prevails that
none of the triais will come up at the
present term, and it is understood that
the defense probably in every case will
move for a change of venue to some
other county on account of the heated
state of public feeling here. Republican
AdJt. Gen. Daniel r. Collier, so far as
known, is the only one of the Repub-
lican contestants who is in the city to-
night.
