Elyria, O., Oct. 16.4-Mystery still
enshrouds the identity of the two rob-
bers killed by Jarvis Meach in a most
remarkable battle at the lonely home
of the Meach brothers Tuesday might.
The two wounded robbers who are
in jail are James Carey and VIM. Da-
Wis.
The attempted robbery Of the
wealthy brothers and the killing of two
of the robbers and wounding Of two
others makes one Of the most sensa-
tional chapters in the criminal an
mails of Northern Ohio. Night after
night, these three hermits guarded their
treasure; for 25 years or more they
have done this, but for all their pre-
cautions they were caught unawares.
The tragedy of, Tuesday night was
enacted on lonely road in the south
eastern part of .Lorain county. The
bodies of the two men who met instant
death at the hand of Jarvis Meach and
the two shot by him and later captured
were taken to Elyria, the county seat
of Lorain. There both the dead and
the living were photographed and
measured by, the Bertillon 1system.
Chief of Detectives Fred Kohler, Detec-
tive Watt and Bertillon Expert George
Koestle came from Cleveland at IL
o'clock. The two suspects, who gave
their names as William Davis and
James Casey, were submitted to Il
rigorous "sweat box session by the
cleveland officers. At the close the
detectives would make no statement,
but 1t Is known that the men were
identified and that they are desperate
characters of more than ordinary Grim
inal record. 1t is thought that arrests
In this vicinity may follow as a result
of the campaign mapped out.
For this reason the tragic denoue-
ment Of the attempted robbery may be
regarded as the breaking up of a des-
perate gang Of outlaws. The affail
was in every way the most dramatic
that has ever occurred within this
state. Every angle Of the story, and
there is myriad of them, reveals a

ing to do with banks. All their cash
was kept in the house. Even recently
they kept large sums in their home
and when they are buying wool or cat
tie there is often as much as $4,000
in the house, so John admitted. For
years they have been in constant fear
of being robbed. The house is an arst

Big SHOPLIFTING ENTERPRISE.

Through the efforts OF Chief OF Po-
lice Hilton and Detective Chase, the
operations Of some alleged shoplifters
have been brought TO light
Some Of the facts came TO the notice
OF the police Sunday, and we're brought
about by peculiar combination of cir
cumstances
A handsomely dressed young woman
wearing new Easter bonnet which
was the envy Of many Of the fair sex,
appeared at the ST. Paufs Episcopal
church on Sunday. A young lady em-
ployed at Walker Bros store saw the
hat and Immediately recognized II as
sample hat from Walkers store. Az
the conclusion Of the services, the
wearer OF the hat Was followed by the
clerk until she met Mr.. Baker, the
floor walker. She told Mr.. Baker that
she believed the hat was stolen from
the store, and he at once approached
the strange young woman and demand
ed her name and address. At first
she refused 10 give II but finally gave
the desired information Yesterday
search warrant was issued and placed
In the hands OF an officer The officer
al once proceeded 10 the home of Mrs.
Netiie Lockwood and her daughter
Mrs. Mable Lockwood Moss, at 426
sixth East street and made
thorough search FOR the missing bon
net
After considerable difficulty the artl-
Gle vas found as Mrs Moss was trying
to conceal it.
