New Developments Only Serve to
Deepen Mystery Of Spokane Suicide.

From Mondays Daily.
Is there another William D. Aldrich,
formerly Of Ottumwa who is a pros
porous man of affairs? If so, then the
Spokane suicide is not the "Bill Al
drich that the older residents of OF
tulnwa remember.
Charles A. Wellman stated this
morning to representative of the
Courier that while in Salt Lake City,
Utah, last March. he met man in a
hotel there who stated that he was
William Aldrich, son of Mr.. and Mrs
John Aldrich, early residents of this
city. This man spoke so familiarIy
Of Ottumwa and it's residents that Mr.
Wellman is convinced that he was
what he claimed to be. AT the time
according to his own statements, Al
drich represented the Denver board Of
trade in a deal which he was attempt
ing to interest the Salt Lake City
board in. He was prosperous ap-
pearing man and did not seem to be
the victim of the drink habit, which
is the most characteristic feature CT
the description given of the man who
committed suicide in Spokane Deem
Der 2.
He was man, Mr.. Wellman states,
of about So years of age. His hair
was gray, and he was probably a
little over six feet tall and looked as
though he weighed about $50 pounds.
Suicide Of a Different Sort.
The Spokane man was rouaher
the habit of drink. He was known to
have been in Spokane more than a
year ago, having boarded at the time
with Eggleston, the man who identi-
fled the coat of the suicide as belong
ing to William Aldrich. There is no
doubt but that the name given by the
man who ended his life by drowning
name OF William D. Aldrich. This is
the name that he gave at the bank
where his deposit was kept and the
name under which Eggleston, his land
lord, knew him. Instead of tending to
clear up the mystery the chance meet
ing of Mr.. Wellman with the Denver
man his only served to make the real
identity of the suicide a still greater
question ~

suicide left remains in the vaults of

JOE SWEENEY
With an Interstate Repu-
tation as a Safe Expert,
Arrested by Detective
RYAN on Suspicion.

An important arrest was made by
Detective Ryan Friday afternoon in
the capture of Joe Sweeney, having a
reputation for being an expert safe
cracker. At police headquarters a
charge of suspicion was placed op-
posite his name.
Sweeney has a national reputation
| as professional safe cracker and has
served time in several different states.
His picture apears in the rogues' gal
! lery in connection with Frank How
| ell, who was suspected of cracking
a safe in the B. & o. depot at Nor
gantown, w. Va, when $110 and val
liable papers were taken. He was af-
terward caught in Cleveland, but sue
ceeded in proving an alibi and was re-
leased.
1t is not known whether or not he
is wanted now, but he will likely get
worhhouse sentence and in the
meantime Chief Smith will communi
cate with authorities in several other
cities in regard to the capture.
Sweeney is about 35 years of age
and in appearance looks more like a
prosperous business man than safe
cracker He was found by Ryan in
Whiskey alley about o'clock. lie
was arrested here on suspicion about
six years ago in connection with an
other man and two women by Officers
Patterson, Rifle and Ryan. Since
then his appearance is said to have
greatly changed, but not enough to
escape the memory of Detective Ryan,
who recognized him on sight.
The maximum penalty for charge
Of being a suspicious Character is
80 days and 5000 and costs, and as
he will undoubtedly plead guilty, he
will give the authorities plenty of
time in which to make their investi-
cations as to his present standing.

Preachera Altar Iohe.

Washington, August S.-A widely
published statement some time ago
announced that the navy department
wanted chaplains and that a number
of ships and stations were without
spiritual advisers. This has resulted
in the department being flooded with
netters and applications for situa-
tlons as chaplains. Some of these
have come from ministers who are
earnest in their solicitation for the
positions and other applications are
somewhat freakish in their sugges.
tions. Quite brisk correspondence
has been the result OF the announce
