Mr.. Cobb in his afidavlt, sets
forth the facts connected with
Thaw's dramatic manner of Issuing

at the tlme-the insistence of Thaw
that Mr.. Cobb should sign and seal

him for distribution among the 9TH
er newspaper men at the trial.
Justice Fitzgerald on converting

nesday Morning
KEnLocK REMAINS A MYSTERY.

The calm after the storm has been
broken, and now that the eats out
of the bag details of the planned
Ijail delivery for Wednesday morning
have been secured by Jailer James
Eaker.
"George Goodman, prisoner
charged with stealing watch, has
Ibeen i'll. His part OF the game was
to take suddenly ill-to have it, |
Ibelieve-Wednesday morning and
have the Jail cage turned earlier than
usual" said the jailer. eve usually
turn the cage about $3.50 or o'clock
lin the morning to let the prisoners
out for exercise, and they were
lshrewd enough to know that the cook,
Tor probably Turnkey Howle or my
self, would have gone to the smoke
house early in the morning and dis
lowered the hole. To preclude this,
lthey desired to have the cage turned
early, before the smoke house was
visited.
"The damage done by Jimmie Tay-
lor in attempting to dig through the
wall has been repaired. His father
telephoned me that he would stand
the expense, but there was little to
lit. Mr.. Charles Smeiley came up
with a bucket of mortar and fixed the
hole in a few moments"
KeIIocII Is a Mystery.
Charles Kellock Is still unidentified
at least the police will give out
nothing about what they have learn
led. He is fearful of identification
and keeps in the dark corner OF his
lcell. Patroman Aaron Hurley went
to him to get look but Kellock was
stubborn.
"What you want to see me for?"
ne inquired. Hurley used every pos
sIble means to get a view and finally
when he told the prisoner that he
would have the cage turned and
I''knock his block on" he came to
the light and removed the bandana
handkerchief from HIS face.
The police are diligently working
to ascertain whether Keliock is
wanted elsewhere.

.RY CAPTURED
ON PACIFIC COAST
ANTED FOR MURDER OF
3. l. BOOZER AT CHESTER.
1000 Reward for Captors-Fugitive
Long Wanted Is Picked Up by
Police in War Away Wash
~ ington State.

Bellingham, Wash, April 16.-W.
lIg1 ,9Sl1 Perry, alias Harry Livingston,
was arrested here last night on a war
sSrant charging him with the murder Of
RLangdon l.. Boozer inChester county,
rs. c., March 27, 1905. He is being
held for instructions from the South
Carolina authorities.
Story of the Crime.
Langdon l.. Boozer was a salesman
in store of the .Wylie cotton mill at
Chester. The slayer, w. L. Perry,
was an operator in the mill. The
killing grew out Of the settlement of
an account due by Perry at the store.
Saturday, March 25, 1905, was pay
day at the mill and Perry's account
was deducted by Boozer in the settle
ment. Perry went to the store the
following Monday afternoon and
claimed in a boisterous manner, ac-
companied by unnecessary threats,
that. he did not owe the amount
charged against him.
He attempted to draw the sales
man into a personal difficulty and in
vited him to come out of the store,
saying he wanted to eight it out. ="
Boozer refused to go outside, say
ing the matter had been rightly set
tied.
Perry walked out and later return
ed to the store and Immediately upon
entering the building opened fire on
Boozer. Two shots were fired, the
second taking effect near the heart
and causing almost instant death.
Coroner Leckie empaneled a jury
Of inquest. Three eye-witnesses to
the killing testified to the facts as
above stated.
In the excitement which followed
Perry made his escape and has nev-
er been heard of by the South Car
olina authorities until the news con-
tanned in the above u1spatch from
Bellmgham, Wash, was received.
Boozer was from Laurens county
and was a man Of excellent character,
quiet and inoffensive, we'll esteemed
and reliable in his business transac-
tions.
$1,000 Reward for Perry.
Gov. Hayward offered. $400 for the
arrest and conviction Of Perry, to
which was added the offer of an ad-
ditional reward Of 5000 by Mr.. D. l..
Boozer Of Kinards, father Of the
murdered boy.
An unusual feature Of this case
was the offer by Mr.. d. L. Boozer
Of an additional reward of $1,000 to
be paid to the slayer of Perry if he
should be killed in an attempt to
effect his capture.
/ Perry's Description.
Perry is about 81 years old, nearly
six feet in height and weighed when
the crime was committed about 160
