LAST OF GANG
run TO EARTH
Ed Franks, One of Notorious
'Black Jack" Ketcham's
Bandits, Finally Captured
HUNT LASTS SIX YEARS
Desperate Caught in Wild
Section of Colorado, Where
He Established Himself

TRINIDAD, Colo, April AFTER a
hunt covering a period Of six years.
Ed Franks (alias Bob McManus). said
tor be the last surviving member of
BLACK Jack" Ketcham's notorious
band Of train robbers which terrorized
New Mexico and Southern Colorado for
many years, was safely placed in the
County Jail at Trinidad to-day. He
was arrested forty miles northeast Of
Watervale. small station on the Colo
rado and Southern Railroad, thirty
miles south of Trinidad. Wednesday
night by Deputy Sheriffs George Tits
worth and William Thatcher.
Franks lived alone in a wild. desc
late rocky canyon, difficult of approach.
where his safety seemed assured. The
officers located Franks house Wednes-
day morning, but were compelled to
make a detour and crawl through the
canyon for nearly three miles, as the
house was so situated that 1t COM
manded a view of the open country
for miles. Franks was building a cor
raj when the officers surprised him. He
had a six-shooter and rife close at
hand, but made no fight.
After BLACK Jacks" gang held up
the Colorado and Southern passenger
train in July, 1899, near Folsom, N.
NJ, securing large sum of money, the
robbers separated. Ed Farr, then
Sheriff of Huerfano County, with a
posse. surrounded Franks, Sam Ketch-
am. brother of BLACK Jack" and a
man named McGinnis, on the Cimar-
ron, near Folsom, and a fierce battle
ensued. Sheriff Farr was killed and
two other members of the posse were
wounded. Sam Ketcham was killed
and McGinnis was wounded The lat
ter was captured a few days later and
is now serving a life sentence In the
penitentiary at Santa Fe. One month
after the Cimarron battle BLACK Jack
alone attempted to hold up the Colo
rado and Southern passenger train
again near the scene of the former
robbery. He was wounded by Con-
ductor Frank Harrington and was cap
tured. After conviction of robbery he
was hanged at Clayton, N. NJ. in Sep
tember, 1901.
Members of the posse have always
declared that Sheriff Farr was killed
by Franks, who was known to be a
dead shot. jeff Farr succeeded his
brother as Sheriff and kept up a con-
slant search for the fugitive.

TELLS SECRETS
OF BEEF TRUST
Former Secretary for Vice
President of Swift & Go.
Takes the Witness Stand

CHICAGO, April members of
the Federal Grand Jury which is in
vestigating the beef trust were placed
in possession of inside information"
to-day by Myron c. Baker, auditor for
the Boston Elevated Railroad and for
two years private secretary to Edward
c. Swift, vice president of Swift & Co.
Baker was on the stand for nearly two
hours and is said to have furnished a
great deal of information concerning
the inner workings of the big meat
packing firms. In answer to questions
after leaving the jury-room Baker de-
clared he had told the truth and that
from the action of the jurors it was
apparent to him that they had al
ready decided on what action would
be taken against the packers. 1t was
persistently rumored about the Fed
eral offices, where the jury Is sitting,
that preparations are making to re-
turn indictments within a short time,
but whether the indictments will
charge violation of the antitrust
laws, perjury or interference with
witnesses could not be ascertained.
Did you tell anything that might
injure the cause of the packers?" Ba-
ker was asked.
Yes, l think I did. I told every
thing l knew, and 1T was the truth. I
testified for almost two hours"
Did you present any documentary
evidence?" he was asked.
mo. / did not" was the reply, ac-
companied by a significant motion
toward his forehead Soof
The jury adjourned tonight until
Monday.
The demurrer TO the indictments
against T. j. Connors, Armour & Co. s
general superintendent, on charges of
interfering with witnesses will be
called tomorrow morning and argued
before Judge Lands. The argument
will be on the demurrer for the
quashing of the indictment.

1t is alleged that Caswell exercised
such an influence over the deceased

her property and leave her son with
out a cent. This influence, 1t is alleged,

called at an undertaking establishment
where the body of Mrs. Stewart was
lying and told the undertaken that he
