CLEVELAND. October u.-John D.

suggested his line of thought, evidently.
Mrs. Rockefeller told me that should
not talk too much, as she thought it
might not be good for me- said the
millionaire, with a burst of laughter. II

and uneducated, and that the motive
was money. How near he was correct
shall presently be seen.
The murder occurred on Saturday
night. Between that time and Sun
day morning the 30 detectives and
1000 policemen-and Donaghy-had
been industrious. AS the church bells
were calling the people to worship the
officers began to bring in colored
men from all parts of the city. They
came from north and south, from east
and west. They came singly, they
came in pairs, they came in squads,
and when the chief finally counted his
prisoners he found that he had 1876
colored men-all suspected of the MUIR
der of Prof. White. What if they were
all minnows, and the big fish had
slipped through the net?
Ralph Hartman, the youth, was on
hand to assist in the Identification.
He was in separate room and did
not see the prisoners as they were
brought in the city hall. The au-
thorities were keyed up to a high
pitch. Everything depended on the
experiment they were about to make.
If it failed they would be all at sea.
and the ends of justice defeated.

confused? Would the crowd puzzle
him?
Ralph" said Donaghy, point out
the man who spoke to you on Thirty,
second street last night"
The boy looked over the row of
negroes fearlessly. His glance lighted
on one and then another. Everybody
in the room felt the strain. He was
silent-silent for what seemed to be
many minutes, but what, in reality,
was only seconds. Presently he went
over and touched burly negro on
the shoulder.
That's the man."
The fellow indicated gave a shudder
and rolled his eyes. All of the others
in the line beaved sigh of relief. The
marked man began to protest
"'Deed, amt done nuthin'."
who said you did anything?" asked
the detective sharply.
The man proved to be Henry Ivory.
He had been arrested at daylight on
the railroad near Germantown juno
ton. He was subjected to a severe
cross-examination, and finally admit

station the night before and even &C.

VINO had so foully murdered an inoffen-
stve gentleman. While they talked a
newcomer joined the group. 1t was
Robert j.. McKenty, another member
OF the detective staff, afterwards
marked out to be a member of the
mayors cabinet.
i, .Donaghy, as a result of the confer
ence, Immediately started for the
scene of the murder. 1t has since
been said that the White tragedy was
his case.' He protests against this
distinction. 1T was a case of team
work, he says. Thirty detectives
and over 1000 policemen were en-
gagged on the White case, and they
made good" At any rate, Donaghy
made good because less than an hour
had elapsed before he was in CONVEX
sation with a youth named Ralph
Hartman, who testified that he had
seen two colored men near the scene
Of the murder shortly after ten o'clock,
and had talked to one of them. Best
of all, young Hartman, who had intel
ligence beyond his years, was able to
give vivid description of the two
men. Hartman was employed as a
messenger in the Powelton Avenue
station of the Pennsylvania railroad,
and knew every foot of the ground in
that neighborhood. Donaghy felt in
stinctively that the knowledge pos
sessed by this boy would prove to be

the foundation on which they would
build their case
He fastened back to the city hail.
The doors of the little private Office
were closed, and for a long while Don
aghy. McKenty and Quirk had their
heads together. AS a result of their
deliberations most singular order was
telegraphed to every police station in
the city of Philadelphia.
t. - H~.Was~to arrest every colored man
found in or near any railroad station,
ferry house or freight yard within the
city limits. It was the biggest drag
net ever spread by the. department.
Donaghy, in the meantime, continued
his Investigations near the scene of
the murder.
Several conclusions were forced
upon him. One was that the murder
was committed for money and that the
murderers were startled and ran away
before they secured all Of their booty.
The footprints in the soft clay
large. clumsy, heavy-looking footprints
indicated that more than one man
had fed across the road leading to
the railroad tracks. The dreadful man
ner in which they had mutilated the
body proved that they were brutes.

ECZEMA ALL OVER HIM.
No Nights Rest for Year and Limit
Of His Endurance Seemed Near
Owes Recovery to cuticura.

MY son Clyde was almost com.
pletely covered with eczema. Physi.
clans treated him for nearly a year
without helping him any. His head,
face, and neck were covered with large
scabs which he would rub until they
fell of. Then blood and matter would
run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that If
he got well he would be disfigured for
life. When it seemed as if he could
possibly stand it no longer, I used
some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Otnt-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent. That
was the first night for nearly a year
that he slept. In the morning there
was a great change for the better. In
about six weeks he was perfectly we'll.

Capt. Donaghy Given Credit for Business

Besides this Donaghy was convinced
that they were men totally devoid of
education. He deducted this from the
fact that they had evidently not even
bestowed so much as passing glance
on the books in Prof. Whites green
bag. 1t is known fact that a man of
education or refinement is irresistibly
attracted by book. If volume is
lying on table even in the house of
stranger, he can no more resist pick
ing it up and going through the pages
than moth can avoid the flame. The
murderers evidently had not the slight
est curiosity toward the little work in
the green bag.
The detectives summary, therefore,
was that the crime had been commit
ted by two or three men; that they
were negroes; that they were brutal

When the last of the prisoners had
been brought in the work of elimina-
ton began. Donaghy and McKenty
were intrusted with this delicate task.
Some Of the suspects were obviously
out of the question. For instance,
mulattoes were set aside. So were sew
eral one-eyed persons. So was lame
man. And the work kept on until the
list of possibilities was reduced to 16.
These Is were lined up with their
hats on and young Hartman was
brought into the room. 1t was a mot
ley gathering. Probably 16 uglier
men had never been assembled before.
They looked brutal and all of them
seemed capable of murder. Could the
boy tell one from the other? Could
he identify the man who had spoken
to him the night before? Would he be
