were at Woonsocket on special duty for
the day. arrested three men during the
forenoon The men are booked as Joseph
Hartman. alias Cohen; Harry Sells and
Charles Adams.
This was a particularly good catch as
the three men are known TO the Boston
detectives as three of the smartest crooks
in this country. One OF the trio has
been arrested as far west as Seattle,

Of Correction at South Boston about a

MAY CLEAR
MURDER
MYSTERY
Dying Man Said to Have Con-
feSSed Crime Of Which Po-
IiCeman Was Accused.

New York, June ga death-bed con-
for two years has surrounded the muir
der OF Undertaken Knaus. OF Harlem. and
of which Policeman Frank Schlamp was
at first accused.
Schlamp, who. although he was ac-
quilted OF the charge felt that he was
not entirely cleared of all suspicion. has
been at work for week trying 10 get
hold OF dying mans confession OF the
murder. which. he says. he is certain
was made.
He declared last night that he believes
that In a short time he will get the con-
fession and his name will be completely
vidicated.

Undertaken Henry Knaus was killed in
HIS shop at No. 232S Old Broadway Haf-
lem, on the night OF Feb "A, 1899. After
few days schiamp was suspected and
was suspended.
A rigid investigation was made and

other part OF his beat at the time, but
was shirking his duty. He was fined 30
days pay and was finally restored to
duty. lie has been under a cloud at head
quarters ever since
About week ago a man called at the
West One Hundred and Twenty-ffth
Street Police station and told the ser
geant on duty that man had died a
Old Broadway, leaving full confession
OF the murder OF Undertaken Knaus.
The sergeant told Schlamp. who began
20 investigate.
II have learned enough" Schlamp said
last night Ito convince me that the
confession has been made. The man who
made the confession left the city soon
after Knaus was killed. According to
some, he went 10 Sullivan county. where
he died short time ago OF consumption.
According to others, the man disappeared
for "A time. but returned TO this city,
where he died.
II understand the confession was made
either 20 a physician or n Catholic priest.
/ am inclined TO believe that II was made
90 a priest. / am confident l will find the
priest this week. The question Is, will
he be at liberty 10 disclose the confession? :?

OF the confessional, / have no doubt that

Free Bridge.

To the Editor of The Thibodaux Sentinel.
The question Of free bridge. that
has on several occasions been the
cause of so much talk should lie
tsken up again and agitsted until
brought TO a successful end.
1t would be benefit to our town,
If the tolls were discontinued, and
everyone could cross at pleasure
without having to search their pock
cts, for change. Onr merchants
would gain by it. and 1t would be
profitable for them to stir up action
in this matter. How many people
do not come over TO town now 20
make their purchases on account of
that bridge? The toll Of which,
though not exhorbitant, yet, IS quite
a consideration for many.
We have new railroad at the foot
of the bridge. Now, would 1t not be a
concession made to them, if our peo.
pie could secure free bridge? 1t
would b. great favor conferred to
them, which they would in Some way
return us.
1t is true, this present system IS a
source Of revenue t. both the parish
and town. yet it would be better to
sacrifice this amount and relieve our
commercial interests of the burden,
with which it is now laden, than let
it be an impeachment as it now is.
In taking this action, making the
bridge free, the Police Jury would in
proportion no more reduce the funds
of the parochial Golfers than it did
when it substituted the bridge at
LockpOrt for the ferry reducing the
public school fund, and accepted such
