THREE NUNS MURDERED.

The three last surviving nuns of the
Convent of st. John in Militello, small
village near Catania, Italy, each of
whom was over seventy years of age,
we're found murdered one morning last
week and every article of value in the
convent stolen. From the position of
the bodies 1t is surmised that the thieves
dragged the nuns all over the building
in order to have them point out the hid
ing places of their valuables. and then
strangled them. The murdered nuns
were supposed to be very wealthy.

to present TO the convention and
move its acceptance without debate.
Daring the deliberations of the com
mittee there were many heated con.
tests between Mr.. Bryan and the
conservatives, led by John Sharpe
Williams, Senator Carmack, Senator
Hill and Senator Daniel. The last two
we're very choleric in their remarks
and Mr.. Bryan created scene by
shaking his finger in Hills face. The
spirit OF compromise lowered over
the body, ana the trick that the con
servatives had Matched up for Mr..
Bryan worked so we'll that no men
ton was made Of II financial plank,
exactly what the conservatives want
ed. Mr., Bryan was allowed TO have
his won way about changing the tariff
plank, the alterations being unimpor-
tant. and In turn he had to yield his
project for an income tax and for re-
affirming the Kansas City platform.
The platform is acceptable to all fac.
tions of the convention, and the lead i
ers are enthusiastic over it.

FUGITIVE FULLY
IDENTIFIED NOW
Tom Tracy is the Man Wanted
i'm Indiana.
City Marshal Barnes Arrived This
Morning and Recognized Him Z.
at Once.
HELD FOR A REQUIsITIoN

Thomas Tracy, suspected Of being
wanted in Madison. Ind, for the
murder or Frank Sieferman on the
night Of November, 1908, was this
morning positively identified by Mar
shall Louis Barnes, Of Madison. and
will be returned tonight by Sheriff
Lou Crozier who is now in Frankfort
getting reqiusition papers.
Tracy denied from the outset that
he was the right man, but every mark
indicated that he was, and the officers
refused to release him until some one
from Madison could come down to
identify him. Marshal Barnes stated
this morning that Tracy gave the
police great deal of trouble in
Madison and once he had to shoot
him in the leg to prevent him kill
ing an officer. An examination this
morning showed the scar in the left
leg.
Marshal Barnes gave a history of
the murder this morning and stated
OF first that the police thought Tracy
was justified, until it was learned
he was not married to the woman
who caused all the trouble. II seems
that Tracy had been living with
woman named PAvy and left home for
several weeks. During his absence
Sieferman became attentive, and one
night came to her house, not knowing
that Tracy was in. The woman
answered the knock and told Siefer-
man to watch out as Tracy was in
and no sooner had he turned around
to leave than Tracy. who had slipped
around the house, came up and jabbed
a knife through his neck.
The woman swooned away and did
not fully recover from the effects of
the crime for six months. Tracy made
his escape from Madison and was
traced to st. Louis and other cities
but always managed to elude the
police, until cards were sent here and
the Paducah police began to work on
the case and spotted him.
Tracy had little to say this morn
ing, still stoutly refusing TO admit
his identity, bat Marshal Barnes is
sure of the man, having arrested him
more than a dozen times and being
we'll acquainted with him.
Sheriff Crozier is expected from
Frankfort tonight and when he comes
will take Tracy back to Indiana.
Judge Sanders ordered the prisoner
held until the papers arrive and he =,
was taken to the county jail for safe
keeping. gUi
Chief Collins and his men deaerve
great credit for the hard and success
fol work they did in the case. They
are on the lookout for all kinds Of
criminals, and an outsider has no
idea of what a systematic search 10

tives. All the police are daily in
struoted in every new case, aud often
