FAMOUS CROOKS CAUGHT
MICHAEL MURRAY AND JAMES DAVIS
NOW UNDER ARREST.
One of Them Recognized by Detective
Morgan i'm University Park-Bank
Robbery Recalled.

While sauntering through University
Park yesterday morning Detectives John
Morgan and Jerry Kinney spied two old
not differ much from the many who attend
the daily lectures in the park, but the in
innate acquaintance of Detective Morgan
with one of the men was the means of un-
travelling a bit of criminal history familiar
to both men. Walking up to the taller of
the two Morgan stretched out a hand in
greeting and said Hello, Mike, how are
your" The old man was startled and tried
TO stammer reply. Morgan continued
talking, when suddenly he was interrupted
by the old man exclaiming: by the gods,
it's Johnny Morgan" The two men clasped
hands, and then a scene of real pathos was
enacted. for the detectives, instead of con-
tinuing the conversation in friendly man
ner, took hold of them and walked them to
the police station, where they were locked
up on the charge of lettering.
In the arrest of the two old men, the
identity of two of the most famous crooks
in the country brought to light. The
taller of the two gave his name as Michael
Murray, and his residence as Chicago. The
other said his name was James Davis and
that the names of Michael Murray and
James Davis were associated with one of
the biggest bank rObberieS that ever took
place in this locality. Murray and Davis
in company with Quincy Kid and several
other well-knOwn crooks, entered the In
diana National Bank one morning in 1877
and robbed the institution of nearly $4,000.
When the men entered the bank one of
them carried a lemon box. The crowd sur
rounded the cashiers window and the man
with the box stood top of it and leaned
. an znfz he 4
that time Murray, who went under the
name of Walls, arrested by Detective
Thornton. Several of the crowd were ar
rested and sentenced to long terms In
prison. Part of the money was recovered.
Murray yesterday in talking of the affair
said that nearly all of the crowd had since
gone to their eternal rest.
The two old men are beginning to show
the marks of time. Davis while being
measured by Bertillon Clerk Ed McGuff be-
came laxative and spoke readily of his
criminal life. He was wont. however. TO
allude to his war record. saying that he
served throughout the civil war as men,
Der Of the Twenty-eighth Pennsylvania In
fantry. While being measured the old man
was uneasy. He explained it by saying he
had been troubled with rheumatism When
ii was said by one of the attendants that
two old men like them should be turning
their thoughts to better things tears sprang
to their eyes. In the cell the two old men
be partners for life. When asked If either
was married both replied that life had been
too full of work for them TO think of get
ting married. 1t is thought the men are
the ones that Duncoed an Iowa farmer at
the Union Station the other day.

No LABOR DAY GAMBLING
COMMITTEE HAS DECIDED AGAINST
ANY CONCESSIONS.
The Grand stand May he Open to All
Free on Day of the Picnic-LabOr
Temple Plans.

Elwood Sands, chairman of the grounds
and privilege committee of the Labor day
committee, announces that no privilege will
be let for gambling on Labor day Chair
man Butler. of the general committee, gave
instructions that no gambling privileges
should be let. For several days Sands has
been besieged by gamblers Offering prem
iums for the privilege of conducting games
at the fair grounds on Labor day One man
offered the committee 500 for few feet of
space and the exclusive privilege of
gambling Sands says he will let no privi-
Iege for any kind of gambling fair or I'M
fair, because if one is given space all must
have it. and Chairman Buffers order was
positive against it. Il shall simply tell the
sergeant of police in charge at the fair
grounds that there is to be no gambling"
said Sands. "and he will have to see that
no games start"
The general committee when il meets
Sunday morning TO make final arrange
ments for the celebration may take fur
Their steps 10 avoid gambling on the
grounds. There may also be other matters
brought before the committee for consid-
Grafton before the plans are closed. A reso-
luton will be introduced at the meeting
asking that the grand stand be free to all.
Ii has been the custom of the committee TO
charge admission TO the grand stand and
that is the plan this year, but some dis
satisfaction has been expressed The mem
bers who oppose the charge say that il is
hard enough for great number of men TO
pay the price or admission for themselves
and families without paying an extra
charge for a comfortable place TO sit and
enjoy the amuSementS.
Several members of the labor temple
committee doubt that il will be able 10
rattle of the house in IrvingtOn on Labor
day because tickets cannot be sold. There
are $1,000 tickets and about half have been
sold. If enough tickets be sold between
now and Labor day and on the grounds the

claims is in excess of the true cash value
Of its property in this State. The complaint
asks that an injunction ON a final hearing
be granted against the collection of the
taxes based on this assessment. No re-
straining order or temporary injunction is
asked. Aside from the excessive assess
ment the company offers TO pay taxes on all
its property.

ern Union property in Indiana was S62 a

FISH FOR CITY employees.
Mayor BookwaIter Sends Several
Boxes from wisconsin.

The basement of the courthouse smelled
like fish market yesterday morning. An
express agent delivered to a number of
city officials several boxes labeled Bread"

box, Wondered what individual thought
so much of his bread to send it
a tight box. When the lid was pried off the
controller found a dozen black bass, of an
average weight of pound and half. but

other members. Private Secretary Bru-

received consignments. In all, the mayor
sent about one hundred fish. The favored
men generously distributed them until near

1t is understood the label bread" was
put on to evade the State law prohibiting
shipping fish from Wisconsin. All of the
fish did not have hooks in their shouts TO
show that they had been caught in the
regulation style. Neither were there any
price tags on them.
