Two Italians Taken In Sad Plight
 After Four Days.
 BROCKWAYyLLLE Pa, Feb. B. Half naked and nearly starved, Thom- as Madalena and Bennie Poli, the Ital- ians wanted for the murder of James Heekin at Shawmut Saturday, Jan. 2S, were brought to bay in lonely woods near Crenahaw, two miles from this place, and captured.
 The two Italians have been pursued and searched for since the night of the crime, and the commissioners of Elk county and the Shawmut Mining com pany had offered reward of $1.000 for their capture Fellow countrymen, spurred by vengeance and the large re- ward, have been securing the country for miles in search of the fugitiyes. The pursuing party was composed of four Italians under the direction of Squire Thomas Keys of this place.
 The murderers had been hiding in the woods since Heekin was murdered. They tell pitiable tale of starvation and suffering At night they would wander out from their hiding place, an old powder house, and search for food. or the latter they found but little and declared that they had nothing to eat for four days and were nearly fam ished.

BERLIN, Feb. Ss-The long delay of the bundesrath in issuing the regula- tions administering the meat law ap- pears to be duo to the complexities Of classifying meat products aad the difR- culty of drawing provisions which shall be measurably. acceptable. Rix full drafts of the ment law have been worked out since October, 1900, when the paragraphs excluding sarsages and canned goods were decreed in op- eration. It is understood that tle bundesrath intends now to enforce paragraph 21, which forbids the ird- portation of meats preserved with borax or other chemicals conaidercd injurious to health and which excludas meat products that are artihciaily col cred. A decree enbodying the fore going is believed to be in course of preparation. The enforcem ent Of the rest of the statute will be reserved for subsequent action.

END OF TIE RIDDLES
Autopsy and Inquest Held
 Over Dead Brothers.
MRS. SOFFEL'S CONDITION SERIOUS.
Verdict of .Jury Is That One Game to Ills Death by His Own Hand and the Other Was Lawfully
 Shot by Csicers.


 BUTLER, Pa, Feb. 3.-The terrible fate of the Riddles is still the sole top ic of conversation here. All day yester- day a curious throng of people, defy- ing the storm, hung about the jail en- trance in a vain attempt to get in to see the bodies of the dead murderers. A great deal of sympathy for the boys was expressed on all sides. The jail doors were closed all day, and no one got in but the doctors who attended the autopsy and the coroner's jury, which organized at 9 o'clock in the morning. Even the newspaper report CTS were excluded from the inquest, which was held in the jail, and noth- ing concerning their deliberations could be learned until late in the after noon.
 The testimony of all the officers con- cerned in the capture was taken ex- cept Rob Ray, the Butler policeman, who is sick and abed. The testimony of Dr. R. B. Greer, who was one of the doctors who attended the Riddles, and of Sheriff Thomas R. Eoon was also taken.
 The verdict of the jury is that Ed Riddle came to his death by revolver shot fired from .32 caliber revolver by himself and that Jack Riddle met his death from a gunshot wound in- ficted by the officers in discharge Of their lawful duty.
 The evidence secured by the autopsy bears out the statements that the Bld- dies intended to l.. aselyes rather than be taken alik 1 that Ed suc- ceeded in his atteE while Jack fail- ed. though his life IS forfeited.
 At o'clock in the evening the bod ies of the Riddles were removed from the Jail to one of the railways of the sher1ff's dwelling, and the public was given an opportunity of looking at the two notorious c4lznins s. Hundre> s braved the wors1 siizzard of the yea to gratlfy their nssrbid curiosity. Lat, at night long ilne of people were standing in front the door, the wind blowing about tn ears and the driy- ing snow stingins slr faces like ici- cles, waiting the-a !, and noticeable among the crow cse a number of women.
 Mrs. SoTePs condition is not consid- cred favorable. The track of the bullet wound in her breast runs close to the pleura, and the doctors are not yet able to tell whether the hemarrhage is cans- ed by the wound or is attributable to some other cause which has not yet fully developed.
 The bodies were sent to Pittsburg this morning.
 Since the officers concerned in the fight and capture of the Riddles have had time to cool off a little there aD- pears to be disposition to be fair to- ward each other in the matter of the distribution Of the prize money, aud an agreement to divide the $5,ooo equally among the four officers here, the driy- CT, J. 4. Snyder, and the three Pitts burg detectives has been practically consented to by all of the men.
