subject. but as citizen and church
man who loves his native city am
profoundly impressed with the sense
OF It's temporal and moral welfare.
Liquor would be sold here quite
as abundantly under prohibition laws
as under well-regulated license. The
consequence will be that liquor will
be dispensed contrary to law instead
OF being sold in accord with law. Then.
too. the city will be deprived of a
large revenue which is so much need

MAN WHO KILLED TELEGRAPH
OPERATOR AT LAST ADMITS
THE sLooDY DEED.


PARKERsBURG. Feb. 2o-After
having trailed him for over month
B. and o. detectives have arrested an
Italian at Evansville. Ohio, for sus.
pected completely in the murder Of
Operator Hutchinson at Darlington
last December.
The suspect at first vehemently de-
MED any knowledge of the affair. but
after several hours sweating by de:
tectives and the police he finally con-
fessed to the dreadful crime and in
detail described how he shot the OPP
orator and then set fire to the station
at welcome.
Word Of the arrest was received by
Captain Eagle of the local railroad
detective force. The mans name was
not learned. however. and only the
barest details we're given.
The Italian, who is now under de.
tention there, has been suspected of
the crime for long time and was
kept under surveillance by the railroad
police. He was not apprehended I'M
til sunicient evidence had been procur-
ed to make certain that there was no
mistake.
He will probably be brought here
on his way up to the Marshall county
Jail. 1t is not thought that he with
persist in waiting at GAINESVILLE until
requisition papers are obtained. The
detectives will turn him over to the
authorities there.
The crime. It will be remembered.
was a most brutal one, and its object
was never quite clearly established
Some OF the murdered mans money
was subsequently found in the ashes
Of the burned station. Hutchinson's
watch was also found in the ruins and
this caused serious doubts to arise as
to the motives for the crime. The con
fession, SO far as could be learned
did not cover this point.
At the time the heinous crime was
committed it was laid to three ne
groes who had been seen near the
scene OF the crime on the evening pre-
vIous. Subsequently it was found that
the blacks were in no way involved in
the crime.
others suspected at the time were
some young men who lived in the
vicinity, and who, 1t was alleged. were
extremely Jealous of the young opera
tor on account OF his conquests among
the fair SEX All those suspected are
now entirely generated by the con-
fession OF the Italian. SO far as could
be learned the guilty man had no con-

well known, the Wabash is about to
build a line from the Tygart's Valley
section to Grafton. Falrmont and
through western Pennsylvania to
Pittsburg, with the possibility OF a
spur to Wheeling, this latter connect
