TRIO SUSPECTED
OF MANY CRIMES
AccOmpIices of German in Hold
up of Thomson May Be
Taken Soon

Although Joseph Riordan, former
convict, who was the companion of
Frank German in the holdup and
wounding of James NJ. Thomson of
the Thomson bridge company. last
Saturday morning, has not been cap
tured, the police are confident tnat
he will be in the tolls soon. He is
supposed to be with c. E. Horton,
alias kid" Horn, and reliable infor-
nation reached police headquarters
that Horton, accompanied by a man
answering Riordan's description, was
seen in stockton Tuesday. Horton left
Richardson Springs last Saturday night
and it is supposed that he was joined
by Riordan.
The police are as anxious to find
Horton as they are Riordan, as de-
velopments tend to show that German.
Horton and Riordan have committed
many of the recent burglaries and
holdups in the city. Among the pa
pers found in Horizons room was
printed list of the jewelry, valued at
more than $4,000. taken from the
safe of r. Lundy jeweler, 744 Market
street. April 10. 1908. How he came
into possession of the list is a mys-
terry. and il arrested he will be asked
for an explanation. There is a strong
suspicion that the trio committed this
safe cracking job
German and Riordan are also
strongly suspected of being the two
men who had a revolver duel with
Mounted Policeman A. j. Dolan and
Corporal John P. Collins at Laurel
Hill cemetery in the early morning
of February 19. AS they ran through
gate leading into the cemetery the
foremost one shouted to his COM
panion. Hurry up, Joei' Joe is sup
posed to have been Riordan.
German has not been charged. Every
day he is visited in the prison by
Mabel Keating. the notorious pick
pocket. with whom he had been living,
and her sister.
Thomson is recovering rapidly at
Trinity hospital and it was stated
yesterday that he would be out in a
week or two.

DYNAMITE IS USED
ON GREAT ICE JAM
Blasts Create Breach Which En-
gineers Believe Water
Will Widen

YOUNGSTOWN, n. Y, April ga
breach was made today in the great
ice jam which for 10 days has held the
lower Niagara in its grip and caused
damage estimated at more than
100000
Engineer Kunz and his men ham
mered away. and at o'clock the blast
from $50 pounds of dynamite sent a
tiny rivulet trickling through the east
side of the jam. At dusk further ex-
plosions and the ceaseless grinding of
the floating ice had broadened the
trickle to bold young stream.
Engineer Kunz expects that the lake
bound ice will widen the channel dur
ing the night and that by morning
there will be broad avenue by which
the foes will sail out to sea.
The jam is of appalling proportions.
1t is II miles in length and in many
places SO feet in depth, and represents
millions of tons and a strength power
enough to annihilate the four villages
along its bordor If it should start to
go out all at once. Another element
of horror is its pestilential nature.
Mingled with the slushy ice cast high
on the banks is a weeks sewage from
all the cities along the Niagara frontier.
