he could obtain of every prisoner SEN
fenced to any prison in Canada or the
United States. In 1877 he came
across description that fitted Meagh-
err in every detail. It was of a man
sentenced to seven years imprison-
ment in the Northern Indiana peniten-
tiary for burglary at Big Bend. un-
der the name Of Louis Armstrong.
After careful consideration Murray
concluded that the ci-devant Arm
strong, was none other than Frank
Meagher. He prepared extradition
papers and on June /, 1877, left To-
ronto for Indianapolis.
Arriving In Indianapolis, Murray
visited the penitentiary in company
with Detective Muncie of Cleveland,
who knew Meagher well. and they
identified Armstrong as Meagher,
thus making assurance doubly sure.
The next step was to arrange for the
removal of Meagher to Canada. MUIR
ray went to Terre Haute and secured
the services of Daniel Voorhees, of
that city, one of the best criminal law
yers in the Hoosier state He in
formed Voorhees, that the state of In
diana had criminal serving SEN
tence for a crime committed subse-
uuent to the commission of far
eraver crime in Canada. and that he
wanted to take him back at once to
pay the penalty of his prior deed.
Voorhees, took the case and accom-
panied Murray to Indianapolis, where
a fine point of law had to be argued.
The prisoner was in the Indian
apolis jail. where he was kept. pend
ing the outcome of the case, and had
been informed of a conditional par
don and the case going against him.
He was what is known as bad
man" in every sense of the epithet.
Three times in his career he had es-
capped from prison and had shot and
killed a deputy on one occasion. He
had brother. Charles Meagher OF
Cleveland, also a thief, burglar, and
desperate, resourceful crook. He had
many friends; and Frank Meagher
then a fine looking, well-educated
chap of 2S, was highly respected and
much admired among the denizens OF
the underworld for his daring and
cleverness.
Murray was certain that the
chances were all in favor of complete
plans having been made to rescue his
man. He had all of his papers ready
after midnight on June 20, and went

The motto of success was given In
this tale, told at banquet:
A Swede among the miners in the
west was noted for always striking
pay dirt. His fellows thought that
there must be some secret to the I'M
usual success of the Swede and ques-
toned him as to how he always sue
ceeded in finding the spot where the
gold cropped out.

to talk to you SO that everybody won't
hear"
Meagher had risen to his feet and
stood at the top of the stair. looking
down upon the man just below him.
The sheriff grew suddenly valorous.
Come down. Meagher. or I'll shoot"
he cried. 'shrilly.
Shoot. blast you." responded
Meagher. vigorously I'D rather be
shot here than hung in Canada"
There was a moments silence. and
Murray heard Detective Muncie advis-
ing the sheriff to quit making a noise.
You just shut up, sheriff. and leave
this to me-" shouted Murray. Frank"
he continued. addressing the prisoner.
you know you won't be hung. Dain
lived over a year. You know you've
got to come. You might kill me. but
you'd have to go all the same"
While speaking. Murray mounted
the steps slowly. until he stood with
in ten feet of Meagher, who pointed
the revolver full in his face.
"Stop!" he commanded. harshly.
Stay where you are Don't move an
inch closer"
Murray paused and stared unfiinch-
ingly at the outlaw. He knew that
never in his life had death loomed
nearer than at that moment. Meagh-
er's eye was cold and hard, yet as 1t
glared at him he fancied that he could
read something of curiosity in its muir
derous. merciless depths. Neither
man spoke. Murray's hands were
empty, his revolver lying useless In
his pocket.
The prisoner was first to break the
tension. Murray" he said suddenly.

barded the speaker with volley of
virulent oaths. Come up here and
get me-" he roared. 'Ill kill the first
man that sets foot on these stairs"
Now you can see how it is for
yourself" appealed the sheriff to Muir
ray.
"AIl know is that there sits Meagh-

Murray was losing patience. 1t was
evident that the sheriff would not try
to get Meagher. and also that the
prisoner was playing for time. and
the purpose of it probably was that
he knew an attempt would be made to
rescue him. From the fact that he
had gained possession Of revolver
and club. it was easy to surmise that
some of his friends were scheming to
aid him. He thought Of that ABS
train, and turned to the sheriff.

Yielding to the power of the others

open the gate and Murray, without
the slightest trace of nervousness,
stepped inside and walked upstairs.
When he reached the first landing the
prisoners voice rang out, sharp, tense
and replete with deadly menace:

Having landed his prisoner safely
in the Toronto jail, where he was held
for trial, Murray realized that It would
be necessary to obtain the evidence
of Meagher's confederate, Leavitt. in
order to convict the former. Leavitt,
however, was sentenced for life, and.
being dead in the eyes of the law, was
not competent to testify. Murray WIS.,
tied Leavitt at the Kingston peniten.
tiary and learned that he yearned for
liberty, and was willing to become a
witness for the crown. On Murray's
recommendation, the government
committed Leavitt's sentence to ten
years, thereby making him a compe-
tent witness.
Leavitt accordingly told the story
of the crime, in court, with the result
that Meagher was sentenced to IS
years in the penitentiary. When
Meagher heard his former ally testify
he stood up and cursed him savagely.
