Pittsburg April 15.-The murder of
Brocer Thomas d. Kahney, of Mt.
Washington, will be fastened upon
the gang of burglars who killed De-
tective atriek Fitzgerald. All three
of the men and at least one of the
women, it is thought, will be hanged.
The Pittsburg police bureau is ex-
pectant, it might almost be said, san
guine. of these two results. Every
effort is being directed toward their
accomplishment. Almost every hour
the labors of the detectives are re-
warded with the discovery of some
fact of Importance in the web which
they are weaving about the doomed
gang.
Last night it was established that
the three men We're on Mt Washing.
ton together on the night of the muir
der of Mr.. Kahney and in the vicinity
of his store. One witness was OBJ
tanned who gave a positive Identified
ton of one of the men, and htere are
others who are expected to furnish
valuable testimony against the 9th
ers. Since Friday the detective bu-
reau has kept men on Mt Washing
ton searching for traces of the men
in the vicinity of the murdered groc.
er's home and store. Last night De-
tective Edward Barry brought to Cen
trail station Albert Mensinger, of As
Prospect street, a youth of about Is
years of age. He furnished a positive
Identification of Robert D. Wilcox as

Mercy hospital where he gave the
same sort of Identification of Edward
Wright. That is, he said, these two
men had the same general appear

being hastily summoned there on an
urgent message from County Detec-
tive Robert G.. Robinson. Robin.on
had had a long interview with the
man who calls himself Robert ID. Will
eox, and got him to consent to reveal
his true identity to Superintendent
D'Mara. The superintendent said:
II am more than satisfied with the
situation as it now stands. | am as
certain as that | am here that we will
convict the crowd of everything, in.
GLIDING the Mt Washington murder.
Tonight | talked with Wilcox. He
told me his true name and the ad-
dress Of his father and mother and
other relatives. / will not give this
put until | have communicated with
that end. There is a whole lot that
we know against these people, but ii
would be inadyisable to give it out
at present.
The detectives are now satisfied
mat the true name of the two men
VINO previously went under the alias
Of Wright is Biddle. Detective John
Roach says that John Wright under
pressure was made to admit that his
name was biddle. and that he has two
brothers OF the same name In this
