JAIL WITNESS IN
DYNAMITE PLOT
Greek Captured by Detective
Golf Is Secretly Hustled
to City Prison
Police Conceal Identity of Pris-
Oner Who Gives Clews to
Fugitive Dynamiters

An important witness in the CAL
lagher dynamiting case-a man whose
identity is being kept secret even from
the officers at the city prison-was ar
rested last night, booked in detinue at
the prison and now occupies cell
close to that of John Claudianes. Every
effort was made to keep knowledge or
the arrest from becoming known, and
even Detective Charles Goff, who took
the man into custody after search OF
several days, refused to admit that
second arrest had been made In the
case
For several days the scent, which 1t
is believed will lead to the exposure OF
the true facts of the dynamiting, has
been followed closely. 1t eliminated
last night in the arrest of man whose
name has not been connected with the
case heretofore. New details have been
gathered which should lead to the arrest
of Peter Claudianes and Felix Paudu-
veris within day or two, and tele-
graphic instructions have already been
sent out to the officers working on the
case to follow the clew furnished by
the witness taken into custody last
night.
Detective Goff made the arrest of the
mysterious witness yesterday after
noon, but so quietly was it accom-
plished that no hint leaked out at the
city prison until late at night In the
meantime the man was thoroughly
sweated by District Attorney Langdon
and Special Agent Burns, and at mid
night was hurried to the central police
station and rushed through a rear door
of the prison to a cell without being
seen by any of the attaches of the po-
lice headquarters except one or two of
the prison officials.
The man now in custody is evidently
Greek. He is of swarthy complexion,
with short black mustache, and was
we'll dressed when taken to the Jail.
So important is the testimony he has
already given in the case that not a
chance was taken by Goff in making
the arrest, and the man was carefully
guarded from the time he was first
taken into custody until several hours
later when the doors of the prison
closed behind him.
During his examination before the
prosecuting officials the witness not
only gave valuable information which
may result in the capture of the fugi-
tive Greeks, but also corroborated
many of the statements made by John
Claudianes in his confession to District
Attorney Langdon. His arrest is the
most important development in the
case since the arrest of John Claudianes
was made two weeks ago.

added much to the interest.
The young ladies were all dressed
prettily in white and wore the class
flowers, pink roses.
The stage was trimmed with ferns and
potted plants and hung with the class
colors, rose and white.
Altogether the commencement exer-
cises of the class of '08 both in detail
and in general were of the most sue
cessful and interesting ever held IN the
history of the high school, and as the
audience, which had more than filed
the hall, departed, they warmly con-
graduated the members of the class and
their teachers and gave them good
wishes for the future.

Prof. Ladd'S Address.
Prof. Ladd's address was addressed to
the young. His theme was based on
the thought that we may and must
judge of the future by the past. From
the facts of the marvellous growth OF
this country in it's comparatively brief
history, from the wonderful inventions
and discoveries of very recent years,
from the rapid progress in every direc-
tion of science, art and sociology, we
may therefore argue for greater things
in the near future. Therefore these pu-
pills are entering upon a greater and
higher era where ambition, energy and
perseverance will have greater opportu-
mites than ever before. Prof. Ladd
proved to be very pleasant speaker
and maker of eloquent sentences.

Judge Wick by request of the board
presented the diplomas to the class with
some encouraging and congratulatory
remarks. He also gave them thought
embodied in the story of Naaman, the
leper, that many times in social, busi-
ness and political life it is very difficult
to distinguish between right and wrong.
Many times questions will appear to
have right and wrong on both sides and
the right road is hard to distinguish.
What is best to do then must rest with
the knowledge, judgment and conscience
of the individual.

Pardon is Sought for Joseph Till.
After serving thirteen years for crime
of murder for which he is believed to be
innocent, Joseph Till will make another
effort to secure pardon at the meeting
of the state board next Wednesday. Till
was convicted of killing another man in
row in Pembina county. In writing of
his case D. E. Morden, of Wahpeton, one
of the men interested in securing the par
don says:
"As the affidavit asked for has been
secured we have the utmost hopes that
he will receive his liberty at the time spe-
CITED: and if we are successful, / have
secured four good positions for him to Sc
lect from. The North Dakota Harness
company of Fargo, who taught Till his
trade in the state prison, offers him a
position; Max Wipperman of Hankinsor
offers him position in his boot and shoe
and harness department of his mammoth
department store; M. Kochendorfer of
Pembina offers HIM position on his faru
and Judge Kneeshaw will take care of
him gratis until he can secure suitable
position. Joseph Till has learned the
harness, boot and shoe and barber's
trades during his 13 years confinement,
and expresses confidence in his ability to
support himself and aged mother if given
chance to do so."
