Mr.. Gardner is to work on salary, and

CROOK HAS LONG
RECORD OF CRIMES
Little Doubt Exists But That
Jerry Mccarthy Is Noted
Safeblower.
IS WANTED EVERYWHERE
Has Operated From Illinois to
Texas, But Career Has Appar-
emily Ended Here.

With a dozen different Identification
marks on his body and a string OF
aliases to cover his operations in the
state of Iowa, Jerry Mccarthy, alias
John Nolan. alias William Burton,
alias Frank Brown, alias William Red
field, alias Roby Red, the safe blower
who is reposing in the Rock Island
county jail pending his trial before
the circuit court, will have plenty OF
Jobs to answer for when he is done
with the sentence which seems to be
hanging over his head now. Early
this week Chief of Police James Brinn
sent dozens of pictures Of the thug to
the police authorities in Iowa, Missouri
and Illinois, and already he has had
responses from several. Two of the
letters received, one from c. H Has
kill of the st. Joseph, Mo, police de-
paTtment, and the other from E. E.
Johnson, chief of the detectives of
Des Moines, contain descriptions which
tally with the prisoners looks to the
minutest detail. Both are of the same
man, and according to the trend. of
their letters, Mccarthy. or whoever he
is, will have several other robberies to
answer for when he is done with the
Rock Island charge.
HAS LONG RECORD.
Johnson's letter tells of the opera
tons of the man when he was &c years
old. He began a sentence in the Iowa
penitentiary at that time, broke away
from Fort Madison while the sheriff
was taking him to the penal institu-
ton, was later arrested in Texas,
brought back and served a 15-year SEN
tence. Since that time several jobs
have been traced to him and his pal,
Teddy O'Brien. In June, 1907, he and
.O'Brien were arrested for having safe
blowing tools in their possession.
They broke jail, robbed a citizen, blew
a safe in Iowa and then disappeared
from sight. Since then the wrecking
Of safes in several smaller banking in
situations in Iowa has been attribut-
ed to the pair.
No doubt when Mccarthy and his
two pals hit Rock Island they were
hard pressed for funds and tackled
the job of blowing the strong box of
the Peoria depot, following which at
tempt Mccarthy was arrested and the
other members of the trio escaped.
EASY TO IDENTIFY.
The descriptions in both letters, in
addition to telling of the mans build
and physical appearance. his age and
habits, tell of a ballet woman tattooed
on his right arm, several other tattoo
marks on his arm, including a setting
sun and star, and in addition to that,
of two mOles on the back of his neck
The Des Moines description was taken
is years ago. and fails to include a
scar on the face and several gold
capped teeth, though the ST Joseph
letter includes them. The marks were
all found in thorough examination of
the man yesterday by Chief Brinn
MAY BREAK Up GANG.
The success of the local police in eff
fecting the capture Of even one of the
thugs may result in breaking UP the
operations of the gang. and the bank
ers' association. which has tried to
nab them for years may be depended
upon TO show their gTatefulness for
the arrest.

Love is CAUSE
OF TWO SUICIDES

Two suicides occurred in Davenport
yesterday. Mrs. Isabelle ". Lupton,
1913 East Fourteenth street, shot her
self with a revolver and died while on
the way to 4 hospital in the city en-
bUlanCe. Jesse kasewas, a Mexican.
who has been in Davenport but three
weeks. stabbed himself to the heart
with a pocket knife and died almost
Immediately.
Love was the reason fer both sui
cides.
Mrs. Lupton left eight different
notes 20 as many different people.
Their import was that her life had
been ruined by the actions of Miss Ma
tilda WieckhOrst, 1905 Washington
street who she claimed had come be-
tween her and her husband. One Of
the letters was directed to this girl
who was warned that she would suffer
Tor her actions. The suicide was a
bride Of but five months and the wo-
man had made one attempt prior to
yesterday. She was but 20 years old.
LOVE NOT RETURNED.
1t seems that in Kasewas' case. the
love which he bore for Mrs. Carrie Bar
ads was not returned He wanted her
TO marry him but she refused and
thereupon he took his own life. 1t is
probable that no inquest will be held
in the latter case

they would never agree to making

REMEDY THE TROUBLE.

The deplorable death of Lineman
Winford King, who was electrocu'-
ed while stringing wires for the South
western Telegraph and Telephone
Company yesterday afternoon, is the
third tragic affair of its kind that has
been recorded in this city within the
past two weeks and demands some
consideration at the hands of the city
officials as we'll as the telephone and
electric light companies.
There are evidently TOO many de-
fective wires hanging over the streets
of Pine Bluff, due possible to the de-
lay in the city creating the position
of city electrician. which is now be-
ing most acceptably filled by City In
spector Jack TroXel. The latter is
doing much good work and only Oh
Thursday Of this week he sent out
notices to all the electric power com
panies, telling them that they will be
compelled to comply with the city Or
dinance, governing the stringing of
wires and the care that should be en-
ercised in seeing that they do not be-
come defective. In his letter City In
spector TroXel says among other
things:
"You will hereafter be required to
comply with City Ordinance No. 745.
l will on Friday of each week mail
you a notice of just what blocks,
block or portion of block you will be
required to work the following week,
and at the expiration of this given
week l will make an inspection of

same and see that rules have been
complied with.
"It will q useless for me to give
you detailed information as to what
is necessary. But | am mailing you
copy Of the aforesaid Ordinance, and
ii will be my pleasure to go over this
work With yeu or yonr representative
aud point out the defects.
The wiring conditions that now eX-
isl in some of the streets and alleys
of our city make ii almost impossible
for firemen 10 use their ladders on
buildings in the downtown districts"
City Inspector TroXel urges the
electric companies to cooperate with
him in his fort to remedy conditions
along that line and they should and
will in all probability do so. 1t will
be 10 their interest to give Pine Bluff
fans protection and lessen the dan
gers to employees and pedestrians.
For months it has been apparent that
the overhead construction of wires in
this city has been in a deplorable
condition.
After every little wind or rain
storm you can see wires burning
against trees and t is common
thing to see them stretched across
streets. leaving the unsuspecting ped
estrian or teamster in immediate
danger of electrocution.
Proper construction Of wires will
eliminate these troubles.
