iiiji« mua .lames E. liogiie the Central Figure In a Horrible Story, MURDER HE DID NOT COMMIT Skeleton of Logue's Wife, Who Had Mysteriously Disappeared 14 Years. Previous, Found by a Carpenter Who Woe Repairing the House Where They Had Lived—Kilted by Logue’s Son. Philadelphia, April 29.—While the larger portion of the Philadelphia population was attending church yesterday, there lay on a desk in a dingy little room down town the skull of a murdered woman. There for six long hours was unfolded a horrible story of crime. The central figure in the stoty is James E. Logue, known to the police departments of the continent as Jimmy Logue, burglar, bank robber and one.of the most notorious all around crooks in the annals of crime. The case turned upon the murder of one of this man’s wives, Johanna Logue, but it was a fitting climax to a remarkable tale that proved that he was not her murderer. Ou the night of Feb. 22, 1879, Johanna Logue vanished as suddenly and as completely as if the earth had opened and swallowed her. 'rhe' newspapers at the time were full of it, rewards were offered, and no’one was more indefatigable in his efforts to locate the woman than Logue himself. On Oct. 16, 1893, 14 years afterward, a carpenter repairing the house at 1,250 North Eleventh street, tore up some boards in the kitchen, and there found the skeleton of a woman. Wliltehalrnd Mau Give* Himself Up. When it became known that Logue and his wife had lived in the house suspicion at once pointed to him as the murderer, but all search for him proved unavailing. On the evening of March 5, last, the doorbell of Coroner Ashbridge’s private residence rang, and answering it in person, he was confronted by an old whitehaired man, who sfiid abruptly: “I am Jimmy Logue, and I have come to give myself up.” That was all he said, in relation to the case, and the coroner handed him over to the police under an assumed name. From that time on, Coroner Ashbridge and Detective Geyer worked together in secret until they mm unravelled the complete story, which culminated a few days ago in the arrest of a man, whose identity was not revealed until yesterday. He is Alphonso Cutaire, Jr., the illegitimate son of one of Logue’s former alleged wives. He is locked up at the city hall oil a charge of murder, while in a neighboring cell is Lougc, held os the star witness. Cutaier’s crime—for he has made a confession in which he acknowledges causing the woman’s death, though lie asserts, involuntarily—is best understood from a brief recitation of Logue’s career. Was a Notorious Character. He wtis already a notorious character, when in 1858 he was married to Mary Jane Andrews. With her he lived two years, when, without the formality of a divorce, lie was wedded to Mary Gahan, who, though she had not before been a wife, was the mother of an 18-nionths-old child, Alphonso Cutaier, Jr. Logue and Mary had not lived long together when lie became enamored of her sister. Johanna Gahan, whom he established in a separate household, paying all expenses until in 1869 Mary died. Meanwhile Logue, who had been working at his profession, fell into the hands of the police for a series of burglaries. On May 23, 1871, he was arraigned at the Central policestatiqn for sentence, but before the case proceeded he asked Magistrate Smith to do him a favor first. He wanted to bo married to Johanna. The magistrate complied and Logue, standing in the dook, was married to the woman. Then he was sentenced to seven years in the penitentiary. During this term Johanna boarded in this city and promptly upon his release in 1877 Logue came for her. Huy* *20,000 Worth of Bonds. They went to Mew York where for a time he operated with tho equally notorious Peter Burns, who died some years ago in jail in Florence, Italy. Logue raised the money in some way, for not long after his -release he bought $20,000 worth of government bonds in New York. In February, 1879, Logue and the woman came to this city. Meanwhile young Cutaier had become a barber, and Logue bought out for him the business .of his former employer and fitted it up as a shop for Cutaier, Logue and Johanna living with him in the dwelling portion, which was expensively furnished. A few days after this Logue and the woman went to New York on a short visit. There Logue fell in with another burglar named George Mason and on the evening of Feb. 20 the two men left for Boston, telling Johanna they would return shortly. The following Tuesday Logue returned and found his wife gone. He came to Philadelphia and went to his home. There he found Cutaier, his journeyman Fritz Eckert and a young apprentice named Harry Fricke. Cutaire told him that the last he had seen of Johanna was on the preceding Saturday. Logue at ouce thought that she had eloped with Peter Burns, but it was found that Burns had sailed alone for Europe, and all trace of the woman was lost. Cutaier Main;* a Confession. After Cqtaier’s arrest several attempts were made to extort a confession from him, and he narrated a number of detailed stories of the crime, naming Logue as the perpetrator, but eventually he broke down, and on April 18 he told the true story. He said that when the woman signified her intention of returning to New York she was intoxicated, and he induced her to wait until he could accompany her to the station. He took her upstairs and made her get into the bed with her clothes on. Then, he avers, to prevent* her from getting away before he could go with’ her, he bound her hand and foot. This i Was at 7 o’clock in the evening, Four I

hours hirer he found her lying dn her face with her head under the bolster, smothered to death in an evident attempt to break her bonds. The fiext day he buried the body under the kitchen floor. He admitted fiuving taken her jewels, bnt denied any knowledge of rhe SI,OOO bonds, which she was said to have in her bosom. The original story told by Logue was i bortl out in every detail by the invest!* j gutions of the coroner and the detective, I but they further found that Cutaier had I for years been pursuing a crooked career. > His story of the woman being accidently smothered is generally discredited. WANTED TO GAIN TIME. I Charge That Nicaragua Secured United State* Intervention to Can*. Delay. London, April 29.— The United States attempted to adjust the pending dispute between Great Britain and Nicaragua. Ambassador Bayard, actiiig under instructions from Washington, represented to the British foreign office that Nicaragua, if given two weeks additional time from the expiration of the three days fixed in the ultimatum, would meet Great Britain’s demand for the payment of £15,000 indemnity for the expulsion of Pro-Consul Hatch, Lord Kimberly acceded to this, and as it was presumed that the state department at Washington was acting for Nicaragua it was thought that the incident would lie closed without further complications. But as .Nicaragua refused at the last moment to acquiesce in this arrangement, the original plan of occupying Corinto was carried out. It is now believed here that Nicaragua secured the intermediation of the United ; States for the sole purpose of delay. Nlcnragna Aciviaed to Pay. San Josk, Costa Rica, April 29.—1 t is learned here authoritatively that the Central American republics, Guatemala, San Salvador Rica, strongly I urged Nicaragua to pay the $75,000 in- | demnity to Great Britain. President. Yglesias even went so far as to Offer to' : contribute one-fifth of the amount, but ! popular sentiment in Nicaragua was so set against England that the administration decided not to yield and the only response received by President Yglesias to his offer was a copy of Nicaragua’s answer to Admiral Stephenson’s ultimatum. llrltislr Troop* In Possession. Corinto, Nicaragua, April 29.—The town is perfectly quiet. The British are organizing their government. An officer of the cruiser Royal Arthur says that in the next two days will be decided whether they occupy more territory, including Paso De Caballos, or withdraw altogether, as important teleI grams are expected from England. THE WALLER CASE. ! Attorney Ta ng* ton Will Punh the Matter and Expects to Recover Indemnity. Wasiiixßion, April 20.—Ex-Congress-j man John JI. Langston, the attorney of > ex-consul Waller, who is imprisoned at i St. Pierre by the French, is determined i topusli the case with all the power he j possesses. “In the first place,” he said, i “we propose to maintain the conces- • sions obtained by Mr. Waller in Mada- ■ gancar. The whole purpose of the pros- ' ecution and persecution of Waller by i the French government was to despoil i him of the concessions he procured. The j French goveriuneut realizes that the concessions are of immense value. Then we intend to force the French government to pay to Waller an indemnity commensurate with the persecution he has undergone. He was given a mock trial, was threatened and finally conveyed iyons to France, where he now lies in prison awaiting a civil trial.” Mr. Langston said the amount of'indemnity to be asked would be determined after he had communicated with Waller. Mr. Langston is entirely satisfied with the course of the state department, which he said had called for a thorough investigation of arid report on the case by Minister Eustis at Paris and the consul at Tapiatave, Madagascar. As soon as these are received, if they are shown to bear out Mr. Waller’s representations, Mr. Langston expects the administration to take prompt action looking to the release of the prisoner and to demand from France a proper money indemnity.
