ROBBER SUSPECT
NOW IDENTIFIED
Proves to Be a Noted
Criminal Wanted for
Murder.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. ia telegram has
been received by Chief of Detectives Des-
mond from Sheriff House of Concho Coun-
ty, Texas, stating that the picture Of
LongbaUgh, the train robber suspect held
at the Four Courts, had been identified as
that of Ben Fitzpatrick, 1.-The lone Texan
who is wanted there for murder. Kilpat-
rick escaped at Sonora last April when
Bill Carver was killed. The woman pris-
oner, Laura Bullion, is also well known
there. More of the stolen Helena, Mont,
bank bills are turning up in circulation
about San Angelo.
Chief Desmond "sweated'' Fitzpatrick
again to-day. He acknowledged that he
had been reared in Paint Rock, Texas,
and knew Sheriff House
You are wanted for murder down
there" said the chief. Now whom did
you kill?''
II don't remember being in trouble
down there replied the prisoner. Then
he stopped talking.
In the minds of the ST. Louis police
there is no longer any doubt that the
Montana train robber suspect is Ben Kill
patrick of Paint Rock, Texas. Another let
ter containing an authentic picture of Kill
patrick was received this afternoon from
Sheriff House. The likeness between the
picture and the prisoner is unmlstakabie,
When the photograph was shown to the
prisoner every muscle in his body quiv-
cred. He compressed his lips, but did not
say anything.
< telegram was received from r. B.
Kirk, the Sheriff of Ballinger County,
Texas, saying that the picture of the
supposed Longbaugh had been positively
identified there as that of Ben fitzpatrick.

AN INADEQUATE VERDICT
SET ASIDE IN NEW YORK
Supreme Court Justice Severely Criti-
cizes Action of Jury in a
Damage Suit.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15-Justice OGor-
man in the Supreme Court to-day of his
own motion set aside verdict for $500 in
favor of julius Wiltsen, who sued the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company for
$4,000 for the death of his fve-year-old
verdict was utterly inadequate. The ac-
ton taken by Justice O'Gorman is SAID
to be without precedent in the New York
courts. In setting aside the verdict the
Justice said:
1.-The verdict rendered in this case is so
grossly inadequate and indefensible that
it should not be allowed to stand This
verdict is perverse and the damages arbi-
trarily and capriciously fixed at such a
low figure as to shock the moral sense.
1.-THE plaintiff is in no manner RESPONSE
BILE for this miscarriage of justice. and to
impose costs as condition of setting the
verdict aside and granting a new trial is
to emphasize the wrong to which the Jury
has already subjected him."

veyed in part through the agency of

for S42. 500. The sellers own an undivided
three-eighths in the land The other five
Fights are owned by Andrew B. Nc
Creery, Peter ]. Donahue and the Burke
estate A division of the block will be
agreed upon which will give the milling
company 137:6x275 feet upon which to
build.
The expectation is that the mill will
cost about 100000 The site is only about
200 feet from the belt railway and is prac-
tically on the water front, so that it is
easily accessible to both rail and sea
transportation.
w. E. Keller, the manager of the mill
ing company, has been here recently
making the deal for the land required.
Several places were considered before the
selection was finally made. The company

of foreign reprisals remained.
In Mason's report the Kreuz Zeitung
sees a censure of the German Government
and answers that duties in Germany are
not more uncertain than in the United
States, and that Germany is only exact
ly following the example the United
States has set in raising its duties.
