Of Beautiful New York Woman,

New York, Sept. "a. - William II.
Young, grandson of Brigham Young
and self confessed murderer OF Mrs.
Anna Pulitzer, was locked in a cell in
the Tombs during the day. He was
brought from Derby, Conn.,, the town
where he had been captured, by Detec-
tive Sergeants Finay and Hughes of
the detective bureau. At the Grand
Central station large crowd had as
sembled to see Young, and it was with
considerable difficulty that the police
got him to the carriage that was in
waiting. Hughes guarded the prisoner
on the trip downtown, while Finlay
sat on the seat with the driver.
Young was most disreputable look
ing He wore old, soiled trousers. a
dilapidated coat of checked pattern
and a bicycle cap so much too large
that the band was pinned up in the
back He was unshaven, but appeared
little fiustered or agitated. On the trip
down in the train he spent the time
either talking to his counsel, Mr.. Hart,
or reading the newspapers. In the lat
ter case he invariably perused the
printed accounts of his own deeds and
of the search for him. In the opinion
of the men who have had Young under
observation he is mentally unsound.
While on the train some one offered
Young cigarette. He refused, saying
he was going to be good boy now"
Then he added: mo more cigarettes or
whisky for me. They've always got
me into trouble" TO show his earnest
ness. when he got into New York he
asked one of the party to buy for him
a package of an antinicotine remedy.
