Burglar, inventor and pleasing gen

a long term in the Eastern Peni
tentiary. , li the rough and iead language ued
by the police, police court nttomes. mis
sion workers and those who associate
with the men and women who are rather
undesirable citizens, ' .John S. Edwards,
who was held without bail bv Magistrate
Tracy at the Eleventh and Winter streets
Bollcc, station today, has had another fall.
"Tlu- underworld considers a tall as
soniethirig thot'busTness men would stle
a, failure.
Udwanls today admitted that Edwards
was only an assumed natm.-, but that he
bad used It lor the better part of his
life. ' '" '
.His rqal name, he- slated, wa J. F. V.
Eatek and he said thnt for the most of
the tithe, since hfs release from the East
ern Penitentiary he tleT .it 10(3 North
Twelfth street.
At the close of the hearing Ueutenant
Biiiiley read a letter from George D. Por
ter. Director of Public Safety. commend-In-'
Whmie and Kent, policemen, for
.-1ic the arrest of Edwards
Edna ids was caught attempting lo
"erejk into r saloon.
c, Edwards U an Inventor He ha made
,noru money with the "Jimmy" and the
"orjic and bit. hut then, although John
wjled off the earnings of his burglaries
diHd safe robbing Jobs, never boasted of
v(tjieii) but preferred to talk about his In
dentions. tr Edwards was lebMsed several months
lRgo from the Eastern Penitentiary, after
j ferung a sentence for burglary.
He was never a model prisoner, but not
t withstanding he won the friendship of
4 Jlobert J. McKenty, warden of the prison
In irS, while serving a term in the
Eastern Penl'tentlarj for robbery, Ed
wards, with Charles "Fiercer, scaled the
walls. In the jump from a M-foot gate
way. Edwards received a broken lee.
Guards who had seen the escape came
upon him while they were searching, the
flower beds outside the prison wall by
lorung the foliage back with the barrels
of shotguns.
Edwards smiled whn n euard pushed
a. sun .-.gainst his chest and said, "I'm
It. but you haven't got my pardner "
Uwgcr was captured In 'hester whn,
famished, he went to the home of a rein.
I" live to bee food.
Since his Ia3t release f-om prison Ed
wards is said to have had a love affair
and also to have cherished a hatred to
saloonkeepers
As far as the police know ho has robbed
none but saloonkeepers. He says he was
educated in saloons and he is turning
hls education to use against the keepeis
of bar rooms.
A joung woman who lived In the Sf'O
block on North Tenth street is also said
to have Interested Edwards. He confi
dentially told friends that he e.xpcted to
marry the young woman. She has left the
homo of her mother since. Kdwards' ar
rest, and the mother sajs that theie was
but little between Kdwards and her
daughter
Edwards left pribon last winter and
went to the young woman s home to
board. He sppnt nearly everv night out,
but always explained his absencu in some
plausible manner. The pollen sa.v that
every night he was awa from his room
be was using his "jimmy" and cold chisel
forcing open windows, cash drawers and
miall safes.
AH the time Edwards naa planning for
the marriage with hlj landlady s daugh
ter it Is also said.
He did not tell the girl that be was a
Mall bird " To her he was a mechanic
and a. mighty good one, for he always
had money, speni with a smile, and
knew where to get mote tnnne when a
night was expensive.
Then came tho fall The Detective Ilq
reau, when Edward was released, de
tailed a man to keep an eie on htm The
man was able to tell how mu-h Edwards'
supper hill was. whit ho spent for other
rMiic?, and all the other minor details
of life, but could not tell how Edwards
kept his pockotbook filled and that was
the main thing for "nob" Cameron. Thief
of tho Bureau.
Kdwarda shook off his detective aha do w
one night last week, drew his Jimnn and
started to work on the front door of Wil
kinson's saloon. Ninth and Filbert streets.
Edwards was peeping bis eyes open for
smooth and plausible Central station de
tectives. One, whom he called "harness
bull." swinging a club, slipped up behind
John and pl.iced agajpst his head the bar
rel of a revolver.
"Well. 1 guess ou got me," said Ed
w irds. as he handed over his Jimmx '
"Thanks for the bouquet,'' replied the
rop, v,n Is Kent, of the Eleventh and
Winter streets politv station.
Edwards while In the Eastern Peniten
tiary took an Interest In tho flower gar
dens and tho machine shop He wag busy
everv minute of his waking hours. He
invented a, doorknob which he said was
burglar proof, becaube when it was
fastened and set he could not turn it j
If Kdwards could nor work the knob the .
police are of the opinion that no one
eUe could.
Edward made u. new kind of a cne
seat for chairs and hitched up a motor
which he said hjs as near perpetual
nntion as am engine would come The

Irish Fusiliers, Furious at Or
der to Abandon Guns, Like
Beasts Drag Them to
Safety.
LONDON. Sept. IP, Describing the
four days' battles around Moils, a
wounded noncommissioned ofllccr sas t
that the wonder was that tho British '
troops came out of It as wctl as thov
did. Referring to tho retreat of the Brit
ish ntul tho loss of some hemy guns, he
said:
Halted out in the open, with weak
infantry suppotts doing their best to
stay the onward rush of the bluish
gray clouds of Germans, the artil
lerymen suffered teirlbly. cjeimnii
I mmksmen picked off the lioisos one
I b, one, nnd then when the German
cavalry swooped down the men could
1 not get tho guns awny. In one case,
where tho German t.anccrs swooped
down and killed the last man of our
battery, the situation was saved by a
ouple of companies of nn liisli Kus.
ilier battalion the Munsters, I think
who rushed at the Germans with
Hed bavonets nnd put them to flight,
while the enemy's artillery poured a
merciless Are on them. Many of tho
Germans around the battery were
killed, and, of course, the losses of
our men were not light.
The Kusltlcrs were furious when
orders came that they were to aban
don the guns, as no horses were
axallable. You could see them cast
ing loving eyes on those guns nil the
rest of the day, and at night when
the time came to fall back the poor
dells were dragging the guns with
them, having captured n. few German
horses nnd supplemented them by
men who were willing to become
beasts of burden for the time.
Glowing accounts of the heroism of the
different Irish regiments are supplied to
the newspaper correspondents at the
front, and the consensus of opinion Is
that the home rule bill Jut conceded
them has been richly deserved. In a
letter to his mother here. Private Alex
ander MncGIIIavry. attached t" a High
land regiment, writes:
"Of mv company only ten were unhlt.
I saw ajjandful of Iilshmcn throw them
selves in -front of a regiment of cavalry,
who were trying to cut off a battery of
horse artillery. It was one of the tlncst
deeds I ever saw. Not one of the poor
lads got away alive, but they made tho
German devils pay in kind, and. anyhow,
tho artlllety got awav to nccount ftir
many more Germans. Every man of us
mnde a vow to avenge the fallen Irish
men, and 1f the German cavalrymen
concerned were made the targets of every
British rifleman and gunner, they bail
themselves to thank Later they' were
finely avenged by their own comrades
who lav In wait for the Germans. The
Irish lads went at them with tho havonet;
thov least expected it, and the Germans
were a sorry sight "
