HOLDUPs CONFESS
Desperate Gang of Thugs Run Down
i'm Spokane.


i'm Spokane.
SPOKANE, Wash, March 2.-The
last link was forged yesterday, the
police believe, in the chain of evil
dence fastening upon Wilson CASH
day the leadership of the gang OF
holdups which has terrorized the city
for several weeks when "Squint''
George Dively, alias Davroe, con-
fessed that Cassiday shot DR.. w. H.
Cumming, the dentist, in the at
tempted holdup of car on the Alta
mont-Gonzaga line of the Traction
company, February 10. Dively also
told of other crimes in which he said
Cassiday participated. The evidence
against Cassiday is now so complete
that the authorities have determined
to prosecute him under the cumula-
tive law, which may send him to the
penitentiary for life.
1t was under the sweating" of
Chief of Police Rem Rice and Detec-
tive George Miles that Dively yeter-
day revealed more of the operations
of the gang. He was confronted by
DR.. Cumming and recognized imme-
diately. He argued the shooting at
length with the dentist and remarked
that DR.. Cumming had been too
bOastful regarding his prowess and
had in reality punched but one of
the trio. They discussed the affair,
and the interview concluded with a
statement by Dively that had the
conductor been as game as the den
fist the bunch" would have been
pinched" that night
Cassidy and myself and another
fellow were in the attempted stickup
of the car on which DR.. Cumming
was shot, said Dively. 1--WE were in
the Occur d'Alene saloon when we
decided upon that job. Cassiday had
gun and had one, but the third
man did not have one. Cassiday be-
ing the leader he said that he would
do the sticking up, and either the
other fellow or | should do the
searching. We stood at the end of
the bar and tipped coin to see who
should carry my gun. The other fell
low won, and it was arranged that
they were to handle the guns and
should do the searching. We took a
car out to Union Park and then wait
ed for a car that did not have too
many passengers. We noticed this
one coming and hailed it.
The action of DR.. Cumming more
than took us by surprise. When he
began to fight us we were puzzled as
to what to do. DR.. Cumming did not
hit me. l fell off the car when the
third man in our party was pushed
off by the doctor AS we fell, CASH
day was being held by the doctor,
but managed to pull away FROM him,
and as he did so shot the doctor.
We then ran away"

ance companies and in charge, for
many years, of insurance litigation

day afternoon and last night appar-
emily in normal health, and his
death was entirely unexpected, al
though he has been falling to some
extent ever since the death of Mrs.
Hamilton, last July. An autopsy
this afternoon disclosed an acute d.
lation of the heart, which must have
caused practically instantaneous
death at some time during the night.
Judge Hamilton, who was so called
because he was twice elected judge
of the Albany city court, was widely
known In q popular way by the con-
nection of his name with disclosures
regarding political and legislative
matters during the insurance inves-
tigation OF 1905. Judge Hamilton
was "a years old. He was formerly
district attorney of Albany county.
clerk of the state court of claims
and. during the past 10 or Is years.
had become widely known as an au-
thority upon corporation, and espe-
cially upon insurance law.

DESERTED HIS WIFE.
South Chicago Police Arrest
William Bolger- Case is
Under Amusement.

One of the most inhuman cases of
wife desertion that has come under the
inspection of the South Chicago police
station, was found today when William
Bolger of 9277 South Chicago avenue,
was arraigned before Municipal Judge
Torrison
Bogler was arrested about two weeks
ago on a warrant sworn out by his wife.
When the officers arrived at the Bolger
home it was found that Bolger In a 1T
of drunkenness had cruelty beaten his
wife. He had lent nothing towards the
support of his wife and child for the
past two years. During that time what
little money he had earned he had
spent for liquor and would subject his
wife to cruel treatment
weeks ago he was given a preliminary
hearing. His case came up for trial this
morning in Judge Torrison's court.
Mrs. Molger was present and testified
that she had been supporting herself and
child for the past two years. Bolger
said he had been out of work a great
deal of the time and was not able to
give much to the support of his family.
He denied having been drunk when he
struck his wife and said she in the
first place struck him three times in the
face.
Judge Torriosn took the case I'M

ARIZONA INDIANS SAVED
Judge Torrison Hears How
How Youths Change
Their Mind.

The moving tale of how the lure OF
home and mother proved too strong for
the call of the wild was unfolded with
sad results to Albert Sweeney. 16 years
old. and Clearance Labounty, Is years
old. before Judge Torrison in the Hyde
Park court yesterday. Also the perfdy
of one Lester Guam, 15 years old. was
made matter of public record.
AS a consequence. Tucson. Ari.. and
other savage parts have escaped for
the time being an invasion that would
have put $3.50 of good Chicago money
in circulation and might have cost some
shedding of gore.
The $3.50 came from the trouser
pocket OF Sweeney pere, who lives at
7109 Ingleside avenue. 1t had reposed
there safely for some days, preparatory
to being invested IN real estate. when
Sweeney fills discovered 1t.
The latter has ben hearing the call
of the wild for some time. When he
discovered the money the call became
so loud that it drowned the voice of
conscience. In that evil moment the
possession OF the $3.50 was transferred
from Sweeney per to Sweeney fills.
Young Labounty has been feeling the
lure of the west for months. That made
him and Sweeney kindred spirits, and
when Sweeney laid his hands on his
fathers money his first thought was of
his 'pard, Labounty. Then they took
into their confidence young Guam. who
knows nothing about the call of the
wild or the True of the west, but has
read a lot about Diamond Dick and
Dare Devil Dan the Deer Killer.
It was decided to purchase ponies,
saddles, pistols, bowie knives, laria is,
and jack sacks right away and start for
the far west, where the wirld red man
roams the plains hunting buffalo and
fire water.
They got as far as buying the pistols.
1t was then Guam handled his that the
lure of home and mother got in its
work and transformed that bold young
Indian hunter into frail and vacilla-
ting weaklng, not to say a perf1dious
traitor.
ANYWAY. Guam told his mother, and his
mother told the Grand Crossing police.
The latter did the rest Labounty and
Sweeney were taken, pistol in hand so
to speak, and yesterday Judge Torrison
added the final chapter to the tragedy
by holding the two boys over to the
Juvenile court, despite the plea of Mrs
Sweeney that her son had always been
a good boy.

defense fled an appeal bond of SIS.
Attorney \. a. Beck, however. will not

Tor court as he has not been admitted
to practice in the superior court In
regard to the charge of extortion
against officer Juric 1t is not likely
that this matter will be taken before
the grand jury as the attorneys stated
at the beginning of the case. Attor-
ney Beck stated last night that he was
now interested in winning the provoca-
ton case and that was all he cared
about
The full decision of Judge Fitzgerald
is as follows:
State of Indiana, SIS: State of
Indiana vs.. julius Solmon. This is
a criminal case in behlf of the state
OF Indiana commenced an affidavit
and warrant. in which the defend
Solomon, is charged with provoca-
ton. The defendant set up as his
defense that he was not guilty and
that his arrest was a conspiracy
by the police department and Har-
ris and Bretsch to extort money
he had already given to the Police
man, Juric, So, and that said Juric
demanded So which the defendant
refused to pay; and that he was
then arrested.
After hearing all the evidence
and listening to the arguments of
the respective parties, I find that
there was no conspiracy between
the police department and Harris
and Bretsch. and that Harris and
Bretsch did not know of this de-
PENDANTS arrest until Harris went
to the police station to pay one
Cowboys fine.
I also find that Desk Sergeant
J. Glenn Rambo did not go to the
office of Harris and Bretsch as
charged by the defendant; 1 also
find that officer Juric did not re-
ceive any SIS or any other sum of
money whatsoever from this de-
PENDANT. and as far as evidence
and the hearing in this court, I
hereby completely exonerate the
police department, Officer Rambo,
Officer Juric and the firm OF Har-
rfs & Bretsch of any and all
charges as set up by the defendant
in his defense.
I find the defendant guilty as
charged in the affidavit, and fix
his fine at SIS and costs, and hereby
order that he stand committed to
the county Jail until same is paid
or replevied.
