IKE" Cauqhf al Locf Raven

Josh Niuder, colored, Il hoStler ut the
Cockeysville Hotel and Il nephew OF the
elusive IKE the doomed murderer, VINO
walked out Of TowSon Jail two weeks
ago, but wels caught at Loeb Raven near
Baltimore, on Tuesday by Marshal
Street. of Towsom, turned over to Con-
stable Hoffman Il postal nEllIcu here
and received OH Saturday morning,
which bore the following message:
Dear Josh:-pleaSe send me some
money 50 | can get further away.
Send money care Of Fred Holland,
No. t. Paradise Alley, Elkton, Md.
ike"
Marshall Faruun, of Baltimore, was
sought and urged to send II detective TO
follow the new uue, and detailed Olli-
Ger ii. c. Busick, of the city force, who
arrived here in the evening and meeting
Justice W. T. Bouldcn askd for the To-
cation of the Court House. The Justice,
who had got wind of the latest "clue
States Attorney Squier having been
previously rung up, replied, Il guess YOU
want the Sheriff. and piloted the slcuth
to the Jail.
Officer Busck, Sheriff Kirk, BailiiI
Lynch and the Justice went directly to
Fred Hollands domicle in Bells Lame
and put him through the Sweating
process, but learned nothing from him
or from q search of his premises. The
disguStrd detective returned to Baltl-
more, convinced that the postal was II
fake" concocted by another of the
many witty or witlcss worthless who have
been keeping headquarters worried with
queries and tips" as to Windcr'S actual
or prubablr whereabouts.
Holland denied any knowledge of the
postal card, which may have been sent
here by Il friend of Windcrs TO raisc II
false scent as officer BuSick is said TO
think, but WAS more likely the work of
some resident, who has read up on the
hunt for the missing murderer. llol-
lands record is far from savOry, ana he
formerly lived in Paradise Alley. Some
follower Of the races, who may have re-
membcred Holland, might have written
the message and sent the card here to
be mailed. Holland is said to have told
OF meeting Il strange negro, iS he was
ON his way to buy Il bag OF COAL at North
and High streets, on Thursday evening,
but did not see him on his return. The
stranger" if such, may have brought
or mailed the postal, but the hoax theory
is the more reasonable.
The search for Winder and the work.
of al lcOnccrned in it, ended on Tuesday
in his capture about 345 p. III. on the
Shankliu farm at Loeb Raven by Chief
of Police Street, of TowsOn, who came
upon him aS he was building fire i'll the
woods. Wiudcr was unarmcd and at
once surrendered. He waS taken TO
Towson and placed in his former cell,
the door of which he said he simply lift
ed upward when he escaped. He said
he came to Baltimore last Thursday
night aud stayed there until late Satur-
day night. lie rode in on Il Hartford
avenue ear aud visited several saloons
and thinks he met the policeman who
caught up with hiL. on the Richardson
farm. He said he met several residents
of the county during hlI spen Of freedom
and once Sheriff Elliott Shot ut him. lie
said Branch brudhUuudS did not worry
him an old coon hunter, and that after
he crossed the tiunpowdcr he climbed
hill and saw them hunting for his lost
trail. He said he could have gotten Il
gun" but didn't want one. He would
not say who gave him help. The death
warrant will be read to him ana his eX-
ecution fixed for March 80, will doubt
less take plac" on that date. Chief Of
Police Street says Windcr's capture was
in the line of duty, and declines the re-
ward Of 5000 r'"r,. for the arrest of the
fugitive.
