are certain that one of their number
was Luther Boldly, the young negro
desperado who Shot and killed Acting
Detective Sergeants J. NJ Buckley and
William A. Miller last Thursday night.
The negro got on the train at En-
glewood. where the train stopped at
10:01. He carried bundle and took
seat in the middle Of the smoker or
the left side. In front of him on the
opposite side OF the car g man was
reading newspaper with a picture of
Boldly standing out against the page
OF type. Two seats behind the negro
was James Lynch, student at New
York University.
Resemblance Quickly Noted
The negro had not been in the car
minute before Lynch remarked to a
companion that there was remarkable
resemblance between the man and the
picture of Boldly as it appeared in
the newspaper.
The remark apparently vas loud
enough for the negro to hear. He rose
from his seat and, going forward in
the car. took seat on the right hand
side. The conductor came along and
took his ticket. By this time other
passengers were attracted by the
negro's appearance and his suspicious
demeanor.
Presently the negro got up and went
to the lavatory in the front Of the car,
leaving his bundle on the seat He
stayed there until the train pulled into
Spa rkili, n. Y, at 1880 o'clock. In
tho meantime, the passengers had
taken to discussing him freely, and it
was generally agreed that he was q
suspicious character and of q remark
able likeness to the fugitive. No one
was positive, however, whether there
was a scar on his cheek.
At Sparkill the layatory door was
thrown open and the negro came out.
Without waiting to pick up his package,
he opened the door and left the train,
using the steps on the opposite side
from the platform TO descend to the
ground. The last that was seen of him
he was moving rapidly through the
darkness in the direction of Orange
burg.
Leaves Package on Train
When the package left by the negro
was opened Il was found to contain an
old white shirt with purple sleeve

The shirt was size 15's. There was
no trade mark on it. 1t was wrapped
in coarse brown paper.

When the Pacific liner Essequibo was

Despite the heat of her funnel and
the rush of hot steam through the
safety valve the whistle was frozen

but the hoarse blast he expected did

Presently a man was sent aloft with
a torch. 1t took him an hour to thaw
out the ice from the whistle tube and

with its tail and knocked Cap'n Sllas
Edwards out of the boat Just as he
was about to spear it, there might even
now be dead whale on the beach.
The whale was sighted by Captain
Frank H. White, the sea bitten old
mariner who tends the life saving sta
ton here. When he first saw the
whale il was about two miles off shore
and moving out to sea with the Cooper
brothers from Water Mill.
As a matter of fact the Cooper
brothers had caught the whale. The
only trouble was that, having caught
it, they didn't know what to do with it..
1t was some time earlier in the day
that the Cooper brothers had seen the
whale and started out in their little
motor boat to capture it. They had
with them a lance bomb gun. an in
strument highly recommended for
whale hunting. This gun is supposed
to save wear and tear on the animal
by exploding a charge inside 1t and
thereupon rendering 1T more or less
hors dc combat
So the Cooper brothers went after
the whale and had the good fortune
IN he in excellent firing position at a
moment when it saw fit to come to
the surface to blow the water out Of
char she blows!" yelled the Cooper
brothers, who had taken correspond,
ence course in whale hunting, and
bang, off went the lance bomb gun.
The lance struck the whale squarely IN
the tonneau and the fishermen waited
expectant y for tie dull explosion whicn

To Sea, Then Tips Rescue Boat

No such explosion happened. The
fishermen waited and waited All in a
wink the whale started for somewhere
And the Cooper brothers, having lodged
their harpoon securely in the whale
found themselves accompanying it.
They tried reversing the engine in
tho hope that by SO doing they might
convey to the whale their lack of in
terest III any extensive sea voyage. The
motion vas entirely lost on their
captive. who kept right on
They had gone about Il mile and a
half, and were still going, when Cap
tain White saw what was up and piped
all his trusty whale hunters to their
posts In response to tha call came
Cap'n Silas Edwards, Ed White, Frank
Burnett, William Bennet and Erastus
Howland.
They launched boat and headed for
the whale and its regretful captors
BY the time they reached the scene the
whale had its mind on something other
than additional whale hunters. so they
were abe to get up close u it. T'ey
even circled around once, looking for a
soft spot for the lance they intended
to toss into it.
Then steadying himself in the bow
of the boat, Cap'n Edwards rose to the
best of his siXty-tlVe years OF ability
ana stood poised with long lance in
his hand, ready to end everything.
Just at this moment. howeve<, the
whale came out of it's reverie and
smacked the bow of the boat a gentle
tap with it's tail. Cap'n Edwards being
in the bow of the boat he was next
seen struggling in the water and yell

The Cooper brothers made use of the
momentary respite to loosen their
harpoon line And the whale went on
its way The whalers then devoted
their attention to rescuing Cap'n Ed
