Henderson Tightens tho Grip of the Law with an OClclal Document. Last night when Superintendent Colbert went to the City Hospital to remove Hentier son to the police station, the latter, when asked to do so by him, made a written statement of all of his actions from the time he left home on the night preceding the murder until the afternoon after. Henderson did so willingly, and said that he wanted to make the matter sure. It was written on the letterhead paper of the City Hospital, and in the presence of the otlicers. When it bad been I'-jiished it was suggested to him that it be rewritten, and made to read a little smoother and some of tho grammatical errors eradicated. To this ho objeoted, and said that he wanted it to appear just A be had made it. ltisitivenas follows: I left home shout between 5 and G o'clock on the evening of May the 31st. l8U3;took street-car route directly to the house of Mary Kaferty, bouse Jol West W a.bJuKtou street, htayed tLcre till about b o'clock.

I there got on Xreight train and rode to 11 rut cross road above Haughvllle. and the brakeman put me olf. Tftat waa about 10 o'clock. After being xut off the train I laid by side of the railroad iracs. I lala there about one Lour. I then got up and went back on the railroaU truck to Michigan street in JIaughviUe. I walked on the north lde of Michigan street till I . catne to saloon where 1 done the shooting. This was tome tlmo after 12 o'clock. I eaw that the saloon wan open. 1 then went in with the Intention of getting a glas of beer. 1 noticed when I stepped on the lnide that the bartender was asleep on a chair on the east side of tho room. I went up ia front of the counter. I stood thero about two minutes. . I looked around and saw the bartender was sound asleep. 1 then notlceu the money drawer was open. I goes around behind the counter; us I did to t put u mask on my face. There was somo silver dollars in the drawer. I put them iu my pocket Uibt. Then 1 took the naif dollars aud quarters and put them In my pocket also, 'ihen I took oat the drawer, put it under iny arm and started out of the house.. As I did so I heard footsteps and some persons talking. When I got around the Ice cheet two caiue in side door on tbe west side of the building, t ordered the front man to throw up his hands, lie said, Hiet out, what Is the matter with your Then be and the second walked around me; then I stepped over to the side where some barrels was. When I got there 1 noticed there was more men at the door. I said to the man in the door to come In and let me pass. When I said this he jumped at me and got hold of my revolver. At this time my finger was on the trigger. In tho scuflle the revolver was discharged. I cannot say whether I pulled the trigger or it was discharged by the struggle with the man. lie then let go of me and walked away. There wa fctill another man still standing in the doorway. I said to this man to come in and let me pus. This man then threw up his hands aud luy revolver, lie then came in, and I went out the door. I went from the saloon to the Hchoolhouae. There I took out the Contents of the money drawer that 1 got at the saloon. 1 treut from the schoolLouo directly to White lrer. I then followed the river south to the turning of the street-car tracks. I then followed the car tracks to Washington street. I then went east on Washington street to Howe's saloon. This was between 2 and o o'clock on the morning of June 1. I went Irooj Howe's saloon to Mary Kaferty's, 501 West Washington Mtreot. On my way to this number I met Merchant police officer Campbell. I spoko to him and said "Good morning." He spoke to jue also. I stayed at Miss lia'erty's all the day of June 1. When I first went to Mary Kaferty's 1 told her that I had been in a ahootiu scrape at Haughvllle. This was about IS o'clock in the morning of June 1. I had the guns I done the shootiug with. When When I came to her house she said to get rid of them, borne time after daylight I threw the uaut In the vault in the rear of Mrs. Kaferty's bouse. 1 also threw my mask, which I wore when the shooting took place, in same vault, wrapped around a plug of tobacco to make it sink.

Authorities Feared a Mob Alight lie Formed to U0f the Desperado. Lon Henderson was brought from the City Hospital to the station boose last night in an ambulanoe of the former institution. He arrived at tho latter place at about V:30,and was carried oo a stretcher to one of the wards in the women's depart inent. where he will remain until he has his preliminary bearing. The many minors of mob violence, which bad reached the ears of tho otlicers. was what led to the removaL It was thought best to have him ut the station house, whiob is more centrally located, aud where eufliclent protection could be afforded the self-confessed murderer in case the friends of the d-ad man should attempt any unlawful acts. Henderson, when well, is not a lloshy man. being raw-boned und sunken cheeked, but the ordeal through wnich he bus passed has told on him. His face has a drawn and emaciated expression, and there t.-us little in his manner to indicate that be is the desperado which be is credited with being. Police Sergeants liarlow and Kurtz rode in the ambnleuce on tho way from the hospital, und Superintendent Colbert rode immediately in its rear iu bis private buggy. Henderson had a huge palm-leuf fan in bis hand, which be wielded languidly, as though so much muscular etlort tired him. When carried upstairs bo gave no sign that tho jostling pained him, and. after having bee a placed on the cot in tho room, when ruptrintendtnt Colbert asked him it tho ride had hurt him iu any way. ho said that it had not. There were vrest-nt iu the room ut tho time, beside tho oihcers, i'olice Comruitsiont-r Cattersou. u member of the lire department, and a number of newspaper men. Henderson glanced uneasily lrom one to the other, aud then asked it all present were otlicers. (superintendent Colbert replied that they Were, aud be appeared t be relieved at tbe btutniient. but did uot eay any more. Mr. Catterson remarked to him that ho would like to see him get wei:, aud would like to see him get the use of that knee of his agaiu. He replied: "irsfuess Uut have very much use for it any more." During the conversation which wan then carried on, he exclaimed with some vehemence: "If 1 ever get out of this I'll never carry a gun attain as long us 1 live." I'olice Surgeon Karp was summoned to dress Henderson's knee, after he bad been brought to the police stutiou, and pronounced tbewnnud us doing uicely, and that the patient would probably be able to us hi lg airaiu in a few weeks. Henderson's bearing at tie police station wan ot a man for whom ther1? w; no hope. He took no interest in what was going ou about him, and his face had a dejected expression. "That roan had better be watched, or he will commit suiciae." wus lb remark of, one of tbe otlicers. though there were no grounds for the belief other than the general despondency of the prisoner. WAS A DESPEItAlE HEED. Story of the Daring Crime for Which HeuilrioQ Will Doubtless Ilanc;. The crime to which Henderson has confessed was cue of tbe most during ever committed in this or any other State. As told to the Journal by one of Tarpey'a companions an hour after the murder the circumstances were these; At about 12 o'clock on tho night of May 1 the desperate murder was committed in John Shaw's saloon, on Michigan avenue, ut Haughvllle. The bartender, John Hughes, was sitting ut the side of the saloon, opposite the counter, asleep, when ho was aroused by the entrauceof a party, composed of John Taroy. Ed Moore, Charles Eigliberg aud Tom Shaw. This entrance also aroused another individual of whose preseuRo in tho saloon the bartender was unaware. As the party entered. Hughes saw emerge from behind tbe counter a mau, now known to bo Henderson, with a false beard and mask on. At nearly as he could remember, the thief wore a slouch hat. a light sack eoat and striped trousers. His disguise was so compete that no further description oould be gained. As tho party entered the thief dashed directly, across toward them to iloor. near whs,re the bartender sat. lie carried the cash drawer on !n arm and a revolver iu easb bandXA the desperado reached the door be ieveJe&bJ two rvolvars toward the door where tbe men were tctaioa iu and let go. Two of the men bad

already entered, and the third, who was jnst coming in, got the bullet and fell, dying in a few minutes. Tho victim was John Tarpey, au iron molder by trade, employed in tbe Malleable iron works, aud exStreet commissioner. In tho confusion that followed the thief burst through the side door and got away, even saving his booty, and a later search of tbe premises failed to discover the cash drawer. THE DESPERADO'S C A It E I'll OF CRIME. lias Been m Criminal and Had Man Ever Since Ills Childhood. Lon Henderson's career has been such an one as is found on the inside of the covers of yellow-backed novels, and his life has been one of crime almost from its beginning. When but a boy he lived with bis parents on Maple street. His father was a one-armed pensioner, and did not bear the best of reputations, and his mother aud sisters, while nothing distinotly bad could be said of them, did things which, at least, could be considered odd. As soon as he was old enough to get away from home, he took to the life on the streets, blacking boots and doing such odd jobs as he oould get. Even theu he was known as a bully, but. unlike a bully, he would tight if the occasion ottered, and he often made the ocoasion. His first steps in crime were in 'the stealing of small artioles. and for this he was sent to the Heform School, where be stayed until be was of age. He was then released, and soou came to be recognized as a looal bravado and a bad roan, bergeant Hagerdorn. of the police force, said that'ahortly after that time, when he was living in Cumberland, Ind.. bis house was burglarized, and it was afterwards proven that it was done by Henderson. He then became tcuown in connection with a number of burglaries and was finally sent to the penitentiary for one ot them. When released there was a short time that he was "straight," in the vernacular of the police. He traveled over tbe country considerably, as a bartender most of the time, and working in and around saloons and gambling bouses. He has always been known as an everready man with his pistol. It was during this last period of his life, while at Downing, Ky., working behind a bar in a saloon, that, one night, stepping to the door to look, he was shot in tbe leg by some unknown person. In telling about it Henderson said that he pulled bis own pistol, bred, and he knew from tho yells which followed that he had brought some one down, but said that bedid not take enough interest in tbe matter to Took up who the person might have been. He returned to this city after seeing nearly all of the country, and it was not long until he was at his old tricks again. He was arrested by Chief Splann for a burglary which occurred on Cook street, and there again helped to sustain the reputation he had for being "a handy man with a gun." Chief Splann entered the house in which he was by the front door and Captain Quigley by the rear oue. No sooner did ha seo tiplunn than bo pulled a revolver from his pocket, leveled it at tbe otiicer and nulled the trigger. Tho fact that Splann bad presence of mind enough to put his thumb in between the hammer aud the cartridge was all that saved bis life, and then Henderson was only caotured after a desperate struggle. He was sent to tho penitentiary for this offense. At another time, when wanted by the pohoe for some minor offense, he was caught by officers Colbert and Quigley in a common and ran around a tree a half-hundred tunes or more and was then brought to terms only when the officers drew their revolvers on him and threatened to shoot. Henderson is a man with some superstition in him. It is said that he never went out to commit a burglary unless he wore a certain checkered cap which he owned. This faot became known to tbe polioe, and -whenever they could find him with that cap on they were certain that there was something going on that ought not to. His last desperate battle was with detectives Thornton and McGuff. when they arrested him, a few days ago. at bis home, at No. 20 Deloss street. How he and his mother ana sister fought tbe otlicers is still fresh in the minds of the public Henderson, in speaking of this encounter, says that he did not believe when he first saw the officers that they4 had any idea that he was the man who killed Tarpey, and that he was sure that they could not prove that he had committed the burglary ou South Meridian street where he bad received tbe wound in the forehead. Believing this, he did not intend to resist them when they attempted to arrest him, thinking that he would got clear of any oharge they might bring against him. He said that. when Thornton opened the door the first thing the detective did was to bit him over the head with a mace, and it was that which aroused him and made him fight so desperately. Ho also says that his mother did not take any hand in the scrimmage until he had been knocked down and tbe officers were beating him.

fin Indication of a Moh. There were no indications in Haughville last night of any mob violence which would be directed against Henderson nor was there any talk of it. Herman Gaetz baid last night that he had heard of no talk of an attempt to lynch him. and that he did not believe that any one had thought of it, Henderson's confession has taken a load off tbe minds of several of tbe residents of that suburb. They are the men who were in Tarpey's place of business on tho night the murder occurred and against whom there has been more or lesssuspicion. HERE IS ASM KANCC llenderfton Claim the ltwrd Offered for the Capture of the Murderer. Henderson told patrolman Corben that be intended to claim the reward ottered by the town trustees for the apprehension of the murderer of John Tarpey. This is a most peculiar claim for a murderer to claim a reward for confessing bis own crime. A tish dealer named Scheid notified the trustees that he intended to claim it. Tillic Moberly. a clerk In his store, received tho first clew from Gertrude Kafferty. and it is supposed that in this manner, tsoheid became possessed of tbe information. The police are inclined to believe that Mrs. Kailerty is the only one entitled to the reward, as it was her information that made it possible to get evidence tu convict Henderson. Tbe burglar-murderer has taken on a somewhat religious beut siuce he confessed, and, after making the statement to Chief Splann, he asked that two ladies of the Hoberts Park Church, Mr. Knapp and Mrs. Mott. wiio have been visitluur the patients at the hospital, bo requested to visit him. Although he professes great contrition l'r his crimes. Henderson cannot abandon the air of bravado which he assumes. In talking to Chief Splann ho remarked: "You know tbero is not t bit of fear in me, and 1 always give them a good tussle." It may bo that the vault in which Henderson threw bis revolvers will be searched for the missing weapons. WILL GO IN 10 POLITICS. Action of the National Council Junior Order of United American Mechanics. Detroit. Mich., June 22. Considerable business was transacted behind closed doors by tho National Council Junior Order United American Mechanics to-day and it was about midnight when an adjournment was taken. The order decided to come, beforo the country politically, but as a nonpartisan body working for tbe best good of the country. The ritual, as placed before the order at the session at Atlantic City, N. J., last year, was the oause of considerable comment, but was ratified withont change. A severe blow was given to the cxponeuts of the Daughters of America Dy being refused recognition as an auxiliary order, and it was also discovered that the Daughters of Liberty, who believe themselves toenjoy suoh recognition, are out in the cold, which will, no doubt, create a great sensation in this fraternity. Tho proposition to place each btate council under one form ot a constitution was defeated.

QUEER SOItT OF DISCIPLINE. Normal School Backs Down Ilather Than Force u Fight with the Students. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Teurk Haute, Ind., Juno 22. President Parsons, of the State Normal School, to-day called together the students who compose the "committee of fifteen" and presented to them a statement addressed to the State board of trustees which he wanted them to sign. It was a disavowal of any intention to reflect on the integrity of the members of the board of trustees or on tbe school management in the statement given to tho press a week ago. In that statement it was said the committee bad been deceived by the board, that the school management needed discipline and that the board was too cowarjyy to meet the issue raised by the removal of Professor Tompkins. The committee declined to sign tho statement, but prepared one more to their own liking, which they signed and which President Parson- also signed as satisfactory. vThis was in ellect the same as the one made a few days ago. saying that while they believe they have ground for severe criticism of the board, they do not pretend to judge of the integrity of the members of the board. Three of the committee of fifteen were excosed when they made known that tliey had no part in preparing the original state tnent. Two members of tho faculty were present during the conference to-day. Tho stnaents construe to-aay's action as a backdown on tbe part of tbe management, releasing them fromall that baa been done up to to-day, and they also feel that they are not bound to relinquish their etlorts to Hecure the disciplining of tbe management or the school. They are giving out to-night letters from Worthmgton and Franklin refuting the charges that Prof. Tompkins left those places because he made trouble in tho schools. They are also preparing another circular statement for the public. It is expected tbe board of trustees will meet Saturday, but it is very doubtful if any attempt to adequately discipline tho school will be f.ade, as it is plainly understood that it would mtfan the utter breaking up of the sohool beforo the commencement day. which falls on 'June SO. The knowledge of this fact, no doubt, restrains the school management from doing what it has thought ought to bo done. A VEltY GAUZY 1IOOMER. Frank P. Scearce, the Kentucky Forger, Attempted to Play Alexandria People. BpcoUl to tbe Iu-uanapolls Journal. Anderson, Ind., June 4J2. Since Frank P. tScearee left here a few days ago the developments in the string of forgeries with wbioh be is charged have grown more sensational, until now it appears they will foot up SCO. 000. Scearce was a real-estate broker at Alexandria. About a year ago, in company with Messrs. J. F. Larch, George Arthur, D. L. Hardesty and others. from Lexington. Ky.. he organized a brokerage firm to handle Alexandria property. The firm secured the exclusive right to dispose of all land and lots owned by tne Alexandria Laud and Improvement Company. Tho boomers organized a big land sale which proved a disappointment to the brokers. Messrs. D. L. Hardesty and J. K. Larch put up abont $1,500 for advertising, and when Scearce's crooked work came to light in Lexington, Ky.,.Mr. Hardesty had a receiver appointed for tbe firm and . its eilects attached. Mr. J. E. Larch, who gave up a position as cashier in a Lexington bank, loses every cent he possessed. Fortunately the Alexandria company will not be a flee tod by tbe failure of the brokers. Tbe Madison county end of Scearce's crooked work has not been eenerally known. At Lexington hois said to have confessed to everything to his attorney. J. llenmng Nolms, and Lieutenant-Governor Alford, but thero is no meution of the Indiana tricks of the absconder. The latter forged right and left, among bis victims being a widow, Mrs. Theresa Ilanna, who is said to have lost 8.000 for having trusted too implicitly in the deceiver. He is now in hiding at Lexington, but his lawyer says ho will give himself up tomorrow. 3IINNIE MAY WYNNE'S WEAKNESS. She Fails ia Her Divorce Suit, Her Husband Ileitis Granted m Divorc.

Sympathetlo Feople Need Not De Distressed About Cleveland. Washington Letter. The extent of the importuning he sutlers now may be told in short space, fcjomo days ho does not see anyone. At no time does be see any but Senators and Representatives, unless it happens to be some distinguished person he wants to receive, borne days there are us many as six or seven Senators and probably twelve or fourteeu Representatives. This is about tbe highest number he sees any day in the week. It usually runs below that. As a rule he receives them all in his ottice at the same time; that is, all that are there are admitted to his presence, und those who are waiting impress upon the man ahead of them tbe idea that be must move on as rapidly as possible. If he talks too long no hint from the President is necessary. The impatient clearing of the throats ot those who wait, their black looks, and the repeated references to their watches by tbe whole roomful at onoe, saves Mr. Cleveland tbe necessity of hurrying his interviewer on. liut If one man does take up more than his share of time, what does it matter to Groverf If the talk is not pleasant he not more than half hears It, aud what time one consumes is taken from tbe rest. It balances up the same, if some get tired of waiting and go away, so much tho better or. at least, it does not matter. Think what a jolly philosopher he has got to be. He does not tire himself by fretting, aud therefore does not otlend by being impatient.

That was soft and yielding; tbe modern shirt, collar, cutis, hats, shoes, coreeto, even the women's gowns, are bard and unbending.

Bcerial to the Indianapolis J onrnal . Andkksox. lud., June 'Ji To-day Judge Alfred E. Ellison appointed John K. Brnnt receiver of tho .
