Simpson of Prowers county has in
custody james White, one of the
most famous criminals in the Unit
ed States, a man for whom the au-
thorituies of Alexander county, Ill.
have been searching the entire
country for almost year" said
Sheriff Greaney of Cairo, Ill, last
night at the Brown Palace hotel.
Il am unable to tell how Sheriff
simpson knew that he had appre
hended James White" continued
Greaney, for he had covered his
tracks in Illinois and in Kentucky.
Immediately across the border. in

came west and how he managed
to escape us are matters which Will

bravado in his previous homicides.
and the killing of Adam Utterman.

most cold blooded crimes In the
history of Illinois. White was run
ming saloon on Levy street. in
Cairo. and had had trouble with
several men on the afternoon OF
Oct. 10, 1910. He followed his ad-
versaries over to a saloon on Com
mercial avenue. the first street west
OF Levy. and stepped into the neigh
boring saloon looking for "a fight
When White entered the saloon
on Commercial street he saw only
Uuerman. an entirely innocent pat
ron. who was buying a pitcher OF
beer to take to his home. Evident
ly installing utterman for one OF
the crowd that had made trouble
in whites saloon. White struck
utterman with a revolver. knocking
him down. He then shot the pros
traie Utterman, killing him. and
escaped. BY the aid OF confeder-
ates White escaped across the Ohio
river into Kentucky. He was at
home there. by virtue Of the fact
that he had numerous relatives
there. In the language of GreaDey
White met up with enough cous-
ins and night riders to conceal him
successfully
The Cairo authorities secured
requisition papers for white and
were ON the point of getting him
back into Illinois for trial when
he escaped across the river into
Missouri. and that was the last
heard of him until Sheriff Simp-
son apprehended him In Lamar.

Sheriff Greaney has arranged for
the extraditing OF White. but he

the route. and may try by habeas
