Tnscott, the Murderer, Dying In the
KlOndiiSc, Confessed.
CHICAGO, June L-Amos j. Smell.
q millionaire holder of much property
on the west side of Chicago, was MUIR
dered at his home in Washington
boulevard on the night of Feb. 5, 1873.
and robbery was declared to be the
motive, although by many it then was
and still is believed that the burglary
was concocted. However, after many
arrests, the police hit upon the Willie
Tascott clew. Tascott had been an
elevator boy at the Palmer House. 1t
was represented that he had been en-
ployed by day and committed rob-
berries at night.
Heavy rewards-one for $4,000,
which was subsequently raised to 500
0OO-were offered for Tascott, and for
two or three years Tascott was turning
up, dead or alive, in all parts Of North
and South America.
A special from Victoria, 3. c., says
that if the voluntary declaration Of a
dying man is to be believed a fms has
been written to the historic Smell TRACE
dy Of fifteen years ago and Tascott the
long sought murderer, self identified,
has paid the penalty of his crime with
penitence and now fills an unmarked
grave in the heart of the Alaskan
wilderness, whittier he had fed for the
effacement of his individuality.
A miner named Robertson found the
man Tascott in Il hovel in the Klon-
dixie, where. dying. he confessed to the
murder of the Chicago millionaire.
