IContinued from Page IL

Turning to one OF the Free Press men,
Chief MACPHERSON said:
Can l have your car: You can
have mine. There is more room IN
yours and Krafchenko will be more
comfortable in it."
Makes Himself Comfortable.
The reporter gave his assent and
Krafchenko was assisted in, Eli Stod-
gill going first to null him in. while
Chief Macpherson remained on the
sidewalk. Krafchenko disposed him
self as comfortably as possible in the
corner of the %tonneau, stretching his
injured leg e the back OF the seat
in front of him. When he had com
pleted his preparations, krafchenko
remarked in an easy manner Nov
I'm nice and comfortable. We can go
on now, chief"
Krafchenko's right hand had been
badly burned in sliding down the
rope from the Jail, and it was swathed
in amateur looking bandages. He had
a gold snake" ring Oh the little fin
ger.
Despite the fact tina Krafchenko
was evidently suffering intense pain,
he never let the cigarette which he
was smoking go out.
Relations Peculiar.
The whole att1Alde between Kraft
chenko and the e Of was much more
reminiscent Of g trong man aiding
an invalid frier;GG than Of a chief of
police conveyinuuva desperate GRIM
inal and Jail breaker to custody.
The few people in front of the block
| could not De convinced that the pale,
| sick man who came hobbling out on
Chief MacPherson's arm was the man
who had terrorized the country. There
was nothing in his attitude to suggest
the desperate who would only be cap
tured after he had taken the life of
numbers of constables.
Chief Macpherson, seen at 2 o'clock
this morning. wore the smile that re-
fused to come off. He said that it
would be impossible to state publicly
who was directly responsible for the
result, and who would get the reward.
Asked point blank whether the arrest
of Krafchenko was made as a result
of the arrests made earlier in the day.
he said evasively that he could not
make a statement. At the time the
chief was interviewed. he was in close
! consultation with Crown Prosecutor
Hastings. John II. Buxton and De-
could not state upon what charges the
various men arrested were being held.
Chief Macpherson stated that, az a
result of information received, men
were sen out directly to the Security
Storage warehouse n simultaneously
to the Burriss block. Everything was
| done in perfect order, and no chance
was given to the desperate to get
away. At the time the detectives
entered these buildings they were
completely surrounded with armed
men. He stated thai they found traces
In q oom on the third floor Of the
warehouse where. Krafchonko had
been hidden.
While the police have been trying
to keep all the details of the various
arrests a closed secret, it was learned
last night from a very reliable source
that John H. Buxton, former secre-
tary of the Builders Exchange, one
of those under arrest, was responsible
for most of the information which re-
suited i'll the actual arrest. This story
was going the rounds Of the police
station last night and late this morn
Ing. and is generally taken to be true.
! 1t is stated that Buxton talked r
freely after his arrest. During Sunday
it is known that he spent several
hours in private conversation with the
heads Of the police department.
While the arrest Of Percy Hagel was
not effected until Sunday night. he,
too, was subject to a sever private
examination during the afternoon. A,
8 o'clock this morning Mr.. Hagel did
not yet know Of the several arrests
that had been made. and did not even
know that Krafchenko vas again be.
