"tiepher Bill."
HE MAKES A CONFESSION.
What He Telia About the Bailey Robbery
I Knew a Place Where There's 8300,000
or 9400,000, and Nobody in the Meuse Ex
cept Twe Old Men.
Seme time since three men Whitlock,
Devinny and Cassidy were arrested in
Philadelphia and handed ever te the West
Chester authorities under the charge of
complicity in the Bailey burglary last No
vember. They had a hearing in the "West
Chester jail en Tuesday. Just before the
hearing William McFarlan, an A. D. T.
messenger, was taken up te Whitlock's
cell, and identified him as the man
"Gopher Bill" sent him for from the
Bingham house te meet him (Bill) at Ne.
1026 Filbert street. Everything being in
readiness for business, " Gopher Bill " was
brought in, and in a lew moments the
three accomplices entered under guard.
Being called, William Robinson, alias
" Gopher Bill," arose and was sworn, and
said :
I am acquainted with Eugene Whitlock ;
that is him sitting there pointing te him
in his shirt sleeves ; I met him in Wil
mington en the 9th of October last, en the
last day of the races ; I met him en the
race ground ; I met him again in the even
ing of the same day at Billy Carrell's ; he
told he knew of a place containing three
or four hundred thousand dollars in a safe
and there was nobody in the house except
two old gentlemen ; he asked me if I knew
of a party I could get te rob it ; I told him
I thought I could get a party in Philadel
phia te de the work ; he gave me his ad
dress, aud when I get held of the parties I
was te let him knew ; I came back te Phil
adelphia and found a party who was will
ing te undertake the job ; the man I saw
in Philadelphia was content te de the job,
and asked for Whitlock's address ; I gave
it te him ; in a few days Whitlock came te
me in the city ; I took him te the man I
had spoken te ; we met out in the park
and it was there arranged that this man
should go up te Whitlock's place
with a gun and pretend te be hunt
ing ; this was the conversation in
the park, the latter part of October,
three of us were te fellow him the next
day ; the next day I went with three men
te the depot at Bread and Prime streets,
Philadelphia, and the three men went up,
or I suppose they did ; I did net see them
get en the train ; one of the defendants
was one of the three men ; de net knew te
what station they bought tickets; they
were te get tickets for the station nearest
te Kennctt Square ; some man was te
meet them there ; saw them after their re
turn te the city ; talked with one of the
defendants about it ; he said they had met
the one that went ahead, but one man get
sick, and they came away without doing
the job ; about eight or ten days after
they again went back ; both defendants
went along this time ; I went te the
depot with them ; did net see them take
the train. When they came back I had a
conversation with one of the prisoners
here ; I asked him what they did ; he said
it was all right, but he did net think there
was much money in it ; afterwards met
Cassidy in a saloon and had a drink with
him ; lie asked me what kind of a man
the fellow was who had the money : I
told him he was all right, and net te be
alarmed about it ; we remained in the sa
loon until dark, when a man and said we
were wanted at Twenty - fourth and
Green streets ; when we get there
we found the party with the money,
and it counted out into six piles en a table ;
is was counted out by the man who went
up into the country first with a gun. The
agreement was that seven people were te
share the money. This agreement was
made in the park between Whitlock and
the man with the gun, and was that Whit
lock should have an equal share with the
rest ; he said he wanted te be acted square
ly with ; the man said that he should have
called me as a witness that he should have
his rights ; the name of the party whose
house was te be robbed was net mentioned
in my hearing until after the job was
completed, and I did net knew whose
house it was. The money was in six piles
of 300 each. There were five persons who
did the robbery, and the spoils were te be
divided among six, of which number I was
one. The five men who did the job each
took one pile, and Jeft the sixth pile te be
divided between myself and Whitlock.
Seme of them did net want rac te get any.
but one of the men spoke up and said I
should have some out of the sixth pile.
There was a $1,000 Pittsburgh water bend
and several pieces of geld coin en the table.
I think the bend was given te one of the
defendants here, together with the geld, te
take te New Yerk te sell. I saw a geld
watch there te which was attached a geld
chain made of several small chains.
The second trip the party made te com
mit robbery was November 5, and the
money was divided en the evening of No
vember C. Whitlock was net present when
the money was divided ; he came te the
city the next week and I saw him at a sa
loon en Filbert street ; sent a boy from
Bingham house after him ; gave boy his
name en a slip of paper, and told him te
bring the man te me at Ne. 1026 Filbert
street ; I left word at Ne. 1026 Filbert
street for the boy te bring him te Ne. 1C22
Filbert street ; he came there and we
went together te Dennelly's ; when we
get there we were told te go te Twenty
fourth and Green streets ; that a party
there had some cash for Whitlock ; we
did se ; saw the same man there that
Whitlock had made arrangements with in
the park, and the one who went up the
country te gun ; he is the man who gave
Whitlock the money ; Whitlock said they
had offered him the bend ; there was noth
ing said about the watch, but if they sold
the bends, he should have his share ;
he remained in the city five
or six days, and generally stayed
at the saloon of Wes. Idlings, Ne. 336
North Tenth street ; while at Hellings s we
often talked ever the robbery, as well as
the names of the persons robbed, he spoke
of them as the Bailey Brether; he said
there was no danger of detection, as only
one detective had been up, and it was a
bungled job ; it was agreed that the man
of the gun should take the watch, as he
opened the window and was the first te go
in ; Cassidy said he was inside and took
the watch from under the old man's pil
low ; they were all present when he said
this ; there were some title papers te the
Bailey property en the table at Twenty-
fourth and Green when the division was
made that had some figures en them;
some person said, "Burn them;" but I
said "Ne, send them back;" one of the
party then threw them into the stove ; did
net see Cassidy after he came back from
Ne"w Yerk ; Devinny said they could net
sell the bend : saw Cassidy en November
7 at Dennelly's ; he was asleep en the sofa ;
Cassidy, Devinny, man of the gun and
myself met at Fourth and Jeffersen streets,
there was another man there ; it was at
this time fixed for Cassidy te take the
bend te New Yerk and sell it ; as far aa I
knew the bend was never sold.
The Cannen's Menth.
Men Who Have Been There and Yet Died of
Old Age.
Detroit Free Press.
There is nothing connected with a bat
tle se exciting as te see a battery of flying
artillery take position. Troops open right
and left, drivers lash and shout, horses
plunge and tear, and guns and caissons
dash through and ever everything until
reaching the chosen spot. A line of men
waiting for the fight te open "will show
pluck and enthusiasm with the booming
of the first gun, and the faster the battery
is worked the mere impatient will the sup
porters become for close work. Ne one
will say that an army could be successful
without artillery, and yet these who held
the "cannon's mouth" te be king of
terrors or the jaws of certain destruction
will feel disappointed when they come
across statistics showing hew little dam
age is inflicted by cannon compared with
the musket.
It is often said of man : "He would net
be afraid te march up te the cannon's
mouth;" and yet it is net a high compliment
te his bravery. Just previous te the first
fight at Bull Run a brigade of infantry
made a reconneissance towards Black
burn's Ferd te see hew the enemy was
posted. A Michigan regiment, in reserve
just outside the fight, was opened en by
six field pieces in plain sight. The firing
was rapid and lasted ter half an hour, and
yet net a man in the regiment was even
wounded. Massachusetts troops, advanc
ing into the weeds, fought against cannon
mounted en an earthwork for fully twenty
minutes, and yet all their less was from the
musketry of foreign troops. On this occa
sion no less than two hundred rounds of
shot and shell was utterly wasted.
During the Sunday lightrat Bull Run,
a full battery, posted en the left, and just
outside the fight, kept up a continuous
and rapid fire en a highway three-quarters
of a mile away, ever which the Confed
erates were marching as they went into
action or changed positions. Shet and
shell could be seen te strike, and outside of
tearing a cover oft' an army wagon, and
the killing of a horse or two, no damage
was done.
At Fair Oaks the artillery fire was fierce
and seemingly destructive. Trees were rent
and shivered, great furrows plowed in the
ground, and shell screamed everywhere
ever the battle acid. 1 et the less et lite
by musketry was in proportion of 29 te 1.
The Third Michigan infantry lest mere
men in five minutes by infantry fire than
any brigade lest in all day, by shot or
shell.
The daily papers used te make a great
ado ever artillery duels, which were pro
nounced fiendish, bleed thirsty, and se
forth. At Antietam a Union and a Con
federate battery, net half a mile apart and
in plain sight of each ether, had one of
these duels lasting forty minutes. The
guns were worked for all they were worth,
and when the duel ended the Union less
was a heisc killed, the wheel of a caisson
shattered and two infantry men lying in
support killed. A change of position sent
the writer's regiment ever the ground oc
cupied by the Confederate battery, and
here we found two disabled horses, a dead
artillerist and the wreck of a caisson.
During the forty minutes that these
twelve guns were banging away with such
little result, four or five sharp-shooters
just te the light killed mere than a dozen
men and made no fuss ever it.
Lee had a splendid position for his artil
lery at Fredericksburg, yet the Union
troops swept forward unmindful of the
lire until they reached the point where the
Confederate infantry could begin work.
Shells exploded in the air or beyond the
line, roundshet took men singly, and no
great damage was done until grape and
canister came into play. The Union guns
en the ether bank of the river, numbering
at least 150, boomed away for several
hours at the tewu and at Lee's troops
above, yet they did net cripple the enemy
as much as the fire from a single infantry
regiment.
At Savage station, when McClellan was
changing base, a Union battery was
charged by a Confederate regiment. They
came across an open field in plain view
and en level ground, with six guns playing
away en them, yet they captured the bat
tery with a less of only seven men killed,
and four of these were killed by one shell.
A Union regiment rallied en the guns,
fought ever them hand te hand and cap
tured them, and in ten minutes the regi
ment lest ever 100 men.
It is popularly supposed te be a forlorn
hope when men rush forward en a battery,
but an old soldier would take his chances
there sooner than trying te dislodge in
fantry from the cover of a stout rail fence.
At second Bull Run the writer's regiment
swept forward te capture some field pieces
which had get their range down fine and
were creating considerable havoc. There
weie four cannon and they covered about
the same front that the advancing regi
ment did. They used shell at first against
us, and in twelve or mere rounds we lest
three or mere men. They then changed
te grape and canister, and before reaching
the guns our total less was fifteen men.
We marched square at the cannon, pre
served a geed front, and the artillerist
could net have had a better chance. Had we
been advancing en 100 infantry behind a
fence or in rifle pits our losses would have
been four times as great.
At Gettysburg mere than 400 cannon
belched away for hours, shaking the
ground as with an earthquake, but the
less in killed and wounded was net as
great as that inflicted by any brigade in
action. Mere than one hundred Confeder
ate pieces were turned en Round Tep for
two long hours, and yet infantry rested
there aud munched their hard-tack almost
as coolly as in camp. When Lee retreated
and Sheridan pursued his wagon train ever
the mountain read, that rearguard of the
Confederates planted two field pieces in the
narrow read te check pursuit. They were
well served, had plenty ammunition, and
seemed te command the entire approach,
but these guns were charged and captured
with the less of but three men.
The fire of artillery is destructive only
when it hits, the same as infantry, but
it is easier te sheet a man with a musket
than with a cannon. A shell has been
known te blew twelve men te fragments,
but perhaps twenty ether shells were
wasted before that one hit. A round shot
may crush two men as it plows through a
regiment, but it will take no mere. Grape
and canister will de murderous work at
short range, but that range can only be
had once in a while, and then preserved
for only two or three rounds.
A Naughty Bird.
Anether parrot story, and a true one :
We all knew the bird's propensity for
picking up new phrases. A worthy dea
con owned a parrot which had been brought
up in a family. It had never heard aught
but proper language, and always being
present at family prayers, and learned
many scraps of hymns and prayers,
would at times reverently "exhort" its
hearers, and was nicknamed "pious Pell."
One dark, rainy night the deacon started
out with Pell safely sheltered within the
breast of his overcoat, te exhibit her te
some of his friends. As he walked along
he struck his pet corn against a sharp stone ;
in the anguish of the moment he gave
vent te an exclamation te reverse of pious.
Arrived at the friend's house Pell was re
quested te "lead them in prayer," when
cocking her head en one side, with a
knowing leek at the peer deacon, Pell
creaked out : " D n that stone!"
Lere of a Minstrel.
Why Happy Cal. Wagner Bid Net Marry.
Cal. Wagner, the once popular minstrel,
and leader of the gentlemen of the cork,
has a history which, if written, would be
mere sensational than any fancy picture
drawn by the pen of the novelist. He has
had his ups and downs, en the
ladder of fame and popularity. The
following scrap of history, taken
the inner pages of his life, will be
with interest by his admirers in this
from
read
city,
who have laughed away many a dull hour
listening te his wit and song.
He is at present connected with the Bar
low, Wilsen, Primrose & West minstrel
troupe, which filled an engagement here
this season. The Cincinnati Enquirer, in
speaking of the troupe, thus refers te Cal.
Wagner :
He has a romantic history which has
never yet appeared in public print, al
though it is well-known te the denizens of
the little city in New Yerk which produc
ed him. Of geed parentage, handsome,
talented and witty, the young men was one
of the leaders in the social circles of his
native burg, and a brilliant future was ex
pected of him. He did net disappoint his
friends,although his plans were net at first
in accordance with their views. Having
always had an inclination toward the stage
he organized a successful minstrel troupe,
and he had much te de with the revival of
that species of histrionic amusement and
its elevation te the high plane it new occu
pies en the beards. He made money,
and having considerable money in his own
right, he was eagerly sought after by
ambitious mothers with marriageable
daughters. But the handsome face
and modest manners of an artless girl in
the lower walks of life, whose parents
were peer, and whose only wealth was her
beauty, of which she was hardly aware,
wen his affection. Her opportunities had
been limited, and he sent her away te
bearding school. He lavished money upon
her, and te the surprise of her rivals, who
had jeered at her in poverty, she came
home wearinsr silk and diamonds, beside
which their own sank into insignificance.
In the meantime her indulgent lever was
in the zenith of his popularity. He was
justly preund of his beautiful affiance, and
it was arranged that at the close of
his season they should be married. The
elite of the town, who had looked down
upon her, began te patronize her. She
went into society, made conquests aud
wrote histories in her daily letters te her
lever. At a ball one evening she met a
young man from New Yerk, the guest of
one of the first families in her native town.
He became enamored of her, told her
stories of fabulous wealth, and poured into
her inexperienced ear the sweet nothings
which the society fop commits te mem
ory as a parrot learns te talk. It
turned her head, she forget the loyal
lever who had bought her a place in the
world with the price of unremitting toil
and trial, and, ungrateful wretch that
she was, she penned a short, cruel note
te him, and eloped with the New Yerker,
only te find that he was a one-horse
clerk in a dry-goods store meneyless,
brainless and brutal. The minstrel man
bore the .shock with astonishing forti
tude, but his jokes lest their zest, and
the public, which is slew te learn an ac
tor's worth, but quick te detect his fail
ings, observed that a shade of sadness
had clouded the once happy face of their
favorite, and his jollity become artificial.
Finally the troupe which he had organized
and made one of the best in the country
was disbanded, and the minstrel man, from
being the proprietor of his own, went upon
the beards as one of the performers of the
rival troupe, with only the memory of his
former greatness left te him. Such is the
story of Happy Cal Wagner.
