"LIFER" HIDES IN PEN.
Plays Hlde-and-Seek With Guards
Ohio Prison.
in
Columbus, Ohio. Special: Frightened half to death, Harvey Johnson, the negro lifer, who has been hiding out at the penitentiary for several days, wns captured at about daylight Sunday morning. He was caught by Captain Krauss, of the night watch, and Guards Sweitzer and Shupe on top of the bathhouse, where he was ravenously devouring the lunch of Patrol Guard Townsend, which he had stolen early in the night. "Come down out of that, and como clean," commanded Captain Krauss, and he leveled his gun at Johnson. "I'm comln'. Don't shoot," replied Johnson, and ho lowered himself to the ground. "It was only tnklng a chance." he said to the guards. "I have got to stay hero a lifetime, and there was nothing like attempting to make a get-away." Johnson was taken to the prison court-rooms and placed in solitary confinement. He was minus his shoes, and explained that he took them on so he could run better from place to place. The principal hiding place of Johnson was under the porch of the postofflce. In this hole a can of water was found afterward. It "is hardly probable that anything in the way of corporal punishment will be administered the prisoner. It Is certain, though, that he will have to carry, a ball and chain about for a long time to come. Had It not been for the fact that the administration at the prison is new it Is probable that llttle'would have been thought of his hiding away, although it is a continuous nervous 'strain upon tho ofllcials to have an Inmate missing. There have been cases where men have hidden themselves for several weeks, and once a convict remained In hiding for 5G days. He died two days after In the hospital from the effects. Johnson was known to the local police as a criminal with a desperate character. Ever since he entered the schools of the city he created trouble, and landed finally in the Hoys' Industrial School. After that he got a term in tho penitentiary. His latest method of committing offenses was burglarizing Inhabited dwellings. He would walk right to the bed of the occupant of the house, and. with a large pistol, demand the valuables. If ho could se
cure nothing Johnson would then bid
his victim good night and disappear In
the darkness. He was captured after
he made at least a score of raids and
had the populace on the East Side of
the city sitting up at nights fearing a
visit from him. FARMERS ARRESTED

GIRL WOULD BE NEGRESS.
Court Declares Her White and Forbids Her Marriage to Negro. Mobile, Ala.. Special: A girl, evidently pure white, haB decided that she would rather be considered a negro and be married to a negro, although Judge Simon, in the District Court, has forbidden tho issuance of the license. The girl does not know her real namo. She was deserted In her Infancy by her parents. A respectable negro and his wife adopted her some seventeen years ago, and all this time she has livod as tho daughter o the negro woman. She Is an intelligent girl and a hard worker, but fell in love with a light colored mulatto who lives in Galveston. White persons learned of the case, and tho girl was haled into court to endeavor to prove whether she was white. The court decided that she was puro white.

FORMER COUNSEL DECLARES HE SPENT $70,000 "HUSH MONEY."
HARTRIDGE MAKES AFFIDAVIT
That He Closed the Mouths of Possible Witnesses, But Falls to Mention Any Names.
New York, Special: There was rejoicing at Matteawan when Harry K. Thaw and his mother, Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, read the amazing aflldavit of Clifford W. Hartrldgo, their former lawyer, that he had spent $70,000, for which he Is suing, in "hushing" possible wltnessos and stories about Thaw. The portion of the Hartridge affidavit which particularly pleased the Thaws was that In which he said he could not give the names of those who received the "hush money," as they were scattered. They contended that this proved their contention that the attorney was unable to give details of his alleged expenditures. Prom his ward In the Matienwan asylum, through his attorney, Charles Morschauser. of Poughkeepsie, Harry Thaw sent out this signed statement: "Hartridge spent money In a gambling place which he frequented, as I was informed by Mr. Poabody and others. Any newspaper man in New York can tell you that Hartridge's pretense of having suppressed anything Is humbug. A person like Hartridge could not close one eye lid of the thousnnd-eyed press.
"All that Hartridge does Is to repeat vaguely some fabrications and then protends to keep this fxom the knowledge of tho District Attorney and the newspapers." "The affidavit published by Clifford V. Hartridge Is composed of falsehood from beginning to end. Were there any truth in It I would have him disbarred. But there is no truth In it. "He never spent $10.000, nor $1,000, nor $100 In 'hush money' as he pretends. He has asked for arbitration in letters to my mother and others, accompanying his request by obvious
threats, as nis insinuations were false and there Is nothing due hlra,
we refused to arbitrate.
"Instead my mother's counsel de
manded In Court that he give a list of the alleged $70,000 he spent. He does
not want to give a list because he can
not. By publishing this affidavit he
proves that his claims are false and
that he can not account for spending
$70,000 for me In any way."

DECEASED BACHELOR GUILTY?
Secret Tunnel On Ranch Led to Well
Containing Skeletons of McCoy's Victims.
.Mariposa, cai., Special: The dis
covery of a secret tunnel leadinc from
the home of the late George McCoy to within three feet of a well where Tour human skeletons have been unearthed within a week leads the authorities to the Günnes murder farm in Indiana.
McCoy lived on the ranch from 1S53
until two years ago. He was a bacV
elor of peculiar habits. No one knet
his history and he had no Intimate friends. He seldom left tho ranch,
anu the neighbors assert that he sel
dom went out of sight of the house
during the last twenty-five years of
his life.
District Attorney Adair, who has charge of the Investigation, gave the
loiiowmg statement to the press:
i ne discovery oi tne tunnel eon-
firms our belief that we have found
traces of one of the most remarkable
series of crimes ever known In the
west.
"Of course we will not bring any
uimrfce, as .Mcuoy nas ueen dead wo
years, but as he lived on the place alone from 1S53 until the time of his
death there Is no possible way to escape the belief that he must have
known of the crimes.
"The skeletons have decayed to a
great extent, but the big bones and
the skulls are left. Tho positions In
which the skeletons were found prove
ausoiuteiy that they never were hur
led with any ceremony. The bodies
.Must have been doubled up so that
tne knoQs were against their chins. This probably was done so they could
be placed In smaller holes than other
wise.
' There is no way to tell at what in
tervals the four skeletons were buried but all must have been In the ground
a long time.
mere is no sign or wood or any
thing that could have been a box or
coffin about any of the skeletons, and it Is my opinion that the bodies were
burled without any covering what
ever
"The discovery of the tunnel will probably lead to further discoveries, and It may be that a murder trap was conducted on a far greater plan than
we have suspected.
"The finding of the skeletons prob
acy explains tho mysterious death of
Sam Wilson, who disappeared after
Having a quarrel with McCoy in 1S77.
Wilson was last seen going toward McCoy's place, but no trace of him
was found, although a search, cover
ing a long period, was made. At the time McCoy was suspected of having
liad something to do with his disap
pearance, and he was oven charged
with It. He denied It flatly and asked the officers to search his house and
grounds."
Richmond. Ind.. Special: A petty quarrel concerning the location of a fence on the line between two farms caused a double murder In Wayne county Monday and In addition two farmers are seriously wounded. The killing was done by Joel Railsback, who first killed Raymond Meek with a shotgun, after Meek had shot at t-'rank Otto Kallsback, Inflicting a wound in the knee. Alexander Meek was then killed by Joel Kallsback after Meek had Inflicted a flesh wound on Frank HailsLack, Sr. Seven members of the Rallsback family and two of the Meeks participated In the fray. The Rallsback and Meek families occupy adjoining farms on the south side of the National pike. There bad been bad feeling between them for the last four years, or ever since Meek put up a new woven wire fence. The Rallsbacks declared this fence encroached on their land and demanded Its removal. The entire county was stirred by the tragedy. To many It was almost beyond belief that peaceful Quaker Wayne county could produce an event that in some of its features far surpasses the famous feuds of Kentucky. YOUNG WOMAN IN JAIL. Louise Arbogast is Charged With Killing Her Rich Father at St. Paul. St. Paul, Minn., Special: Louisa Arbogast, age twenty-two, was formally charged In Police Court with the murder of Louis Arbogast, her father. Loui3 Arbogast, a wealthy meat dealer and a prominent Germrfn resident, was found dead In his bed early last Thursday morning.

Mrs. Arbogast, the mother of Louise, was found unconscious beside her husband and dragged from the burning bed by another daughter, Ida. Mrs. Arbogast 13 now in the City Hospital suffering from burns. Investigation by the police and others to develop a motive for tho crime, led to the conclusion that it was the act of a nlnsane person. Facts developed by the investigation disclosed that Louise had been tho victim of fortune-tellers who told her that a man would break Into her home and attack her. She heard this statement so often that It is believed to have become a delusion that a man was actualiy pursuing her.
