MURDERED

gun-shot wound in his left leg dressed. | Dr. Mailer, who is police surgeon, had
 not 1t that time heard of the shooting
 on Prindle street. He dressed the mans
 wound which was flesh wound, and the fellow departed hastily.
 Laudano is about thirty-seven years of age, weighs about 130 pounds, has
 dark hair, unusually large eyes, bulg- ing forehead, and is five feet five and
 one-half inches in height, according to a police measurement made when he was arrested for keeping a disorderly
 house some time ago. He wore, when
 at the office of Dr. Nader, a pair of
 light trousers and an undershirt, with
 out any coat or vest, and was bare
 headed.
 Immediately after the shooting be-
 came known at police headquar ters and it was learned that Laudano was at
 large Sergeant Cook sent for the de-
 tectives and they were all sent out to look for him. Policemen in all parts of the city were informed of what had happened and instructed to keep on the lookout for Laudano, while descriptions of the man were telephoned to all the nearby towns and cities with a request to look out for him.
 It was reported last night that Pa trollnan McKeon had been struck by two bullets, both of which penetrated the brain striking him in the face All information concerning the wounds was refused at the hospital and by Medical Examiner Bartlett. When he was lift ed out of the police wagon at the hos pital he was dead, the officers in charge of the wagon say.
 Laudano was captured about 2:15 this morning in the freight yards near the Union depot by Patrolman Christopher Ledwith, who was one of the policemen sent to the yards with instructions to make thorough search for him. When arrested Laudano was about to jump on freight train. He said that he had had some trouble and wanted to get out of town. The patrol wagon was called and on the way to police head quarters in the wagon he said that Tur- bert had shot him in the leg. This can not be true, since Turbert had no re- volver with him last night.
 After the shooting five empty car- tridges were picked up in the hallway where the shooting occurred. Lauda- nos revolver had not been found at 2 o'clock this morning.
 When the shooting occurred Laudano wore a brown mustach but when he was arrested this morning the mustach was gone, he having had it shaved off in the interval between the and bis arrest. He had also his clothes and wore at the time of his arrest pair of overalls
 When he was searched at police headquarters a roll of bills containing s29O in cash was found in the sleeve of his shirt, he having evidently prepared himself for flight
 At 3 o'clock this morning, under in- structions from the coroner, the hospi- tai authorities said that McKeon had | been shot three times. One bullet en- tered at the right of his mouth, an other which was probably the one which caused death entering the lungs, and the third one lodged in his left l sorearm. |
 McKeon lived at No. IA Anderson | street and leaves a wife and three | small children, aged seven ten and | welve years respectively. The news | will be broken to his wife this morn ng by her father, who was summoned l Q police headquarters after the shoot ng.
 After Laudano was searched at police l headquarters he was taken into the | room and closeted there ] lntil 4 o'clock this morning with Chief Nrinn and Coroner Mix. No state nent for publication could be secured rom the prisoner this morning.
 James Scally, a young man of twenty ears or so, who says that he has a oom in the house, and who admitted o police and reporters that he was the only eyewitness to the shooting," aid in telling his story that, so far as e could determine, the trouble all tarted over the fact that the Slater ,omah was masquerading about the treet in mems attire, (the clothing of he particularly stateO, and hat the masquerade was only intended 1r a joke and they, meaning the rest f the household, hoped that the wo- ian might be able to fool an Italian aloonkeeper in that vicinity, and
