THINK THEY HAVE THE RIGHT MAN. A Cabinet Photo Received on Taesday. Strong Resemblanee of the who Murdered Waterhouse and eseaped from Our Jail, nun For the past few weeks District At- torney J. C, Meyer has heen in corres pondence with the authorities at Madi. son, Wisconsin, where a man is serving three months and answers the decrip- tion in detail of John Wilson, who murdered Harry Waterhouse last sum- mer at this place and broke jail last December. A reward was offered of over 8400 for his capture and a number of arrests were made but each time the Wrong man was suspected, When the reward was sent out a de- tective by the name of J, M. Chambers, of Osceola Mills, Pa., mapped out a plan of his own. He placed an advertise. ment, giving a description of Wilson, in the Detective News, and kept it there ever since. This paper has a wide ciz- culation among detectives and prison keepers who keep a sharp lookout for all escaped criminals. E. ¥. Burmeis- ter, jail keeper at Madison, Wisconsin. read the reward and description of John Wilson and at once was struck with the likeness of a man in his keeping. His prisoner had a tattooed bracelet on his one arm and the figure of a woman tat. tooed also on the other arm; was of about the same build, gize and weight; color of hair and eyes corresponded, and also had teeth missing from his upper aw and one of his fingers was partly ampu. tated. These facts were sent to the district attorney and he asked for a photo of the man. To this the prisoner objected and swore he would die before having his photo taken. a detective By means of camera several indistinct photos were obtained, but were not sati=factory. Since then the prisoner became very uneasy and his appetite failed him. He came to the conclusion that he would sit for a photo, and told a fellow prisoner that he could swell his face and change his features so that they could not recognize him. He would rather do that than have some one come to identify him. In the last photo it can be seen that his face is puffed out and the features are strained but a great many who saw the original Jobn Wilson, here in court and in jail, pronounce them the same. And the general opinion from the photo is that he is the man wanted. He explained the tattoo marks in a peculiar way. He admitted, toa pris oner who is acting the part of a spy, that he knows all about the crime. He met the escaped murderer, who tattooed him in the same way and then told him of the crime committed at Hellefonte. He said this was done so that the guilty man might more easily escape. He at another time said he was a sailor and got the tattoo marks at sea, and at an. other time pretended to be a house paint. er. He made another admission to this spy, saying he was the duck they were looking for but he was not going to give in. Another apparently shrewd trick was that he had the end of his disfigured finger taken off but a short time ago and instead of having one tosth out of his upper jaw there are several missing now. Taking all this information together it very strongly indicates that they have the right John Wilson in prison at Madison, Wis, A CONFESSION, The last information received from Madison was a telegram that was re- ceived Tuesday morning which said “Wilson confessed” and asked for far. ther information by wire, It is indefi- nite as to what he confessed. Mr. Mey- er lelegraphed back immediately for particulars of his confession which wil) probably settle the matter, Death of Edward Graham On Tuesday morning the venerable Edward Graham died at his home at this place from heart failure, He was {ll for some time with the grip which finally affected his heart. Mr, Graham came from Ergland when quite young and lived most of the time at this place. By trade he was a shoemaker. He leaves his wile, five daughters and two sons, [His daughters are Mrs, Gor. don, Mrs. Harper, Misses Mary, Sallie and Emma, The sons are Messrs.

A RACE COURSE To be Built at Bellefonte this Summer, also on Fulr Ground, During the past week a number of meetings were held at the Brocherhoff House for the purpose of organizing an association to build a race course and fix up a fair ground. The me were largely attended by prominent horsemen and especially merchants and business men who are ready and even anxious to make such an investment, It i8 their purpose to build a race track, and if possible revive the old Centre county fair which flourished here years ago. Last week a piece of ground near Roopsburg was selected, but the Brockerhoff estate refused to sell it as they thought it would be needed by them for a new mill dam. Another suitable tract was found on the top of Halfmoon hill near the old fair ground which would answer the purpose and the same can be bought or leased. A meeting to consider the matter will be held this week, From the disposition of those who at. tended the meeting we believe they are in earnest and that the old fair will be revived and an elegant race track will be finished this summer. irene anmn A Monster Swing A Meadvilla, Pa., resident is the only man who has vet come forward with an original suggestion worthy of note for the World's Fair in Chicago.
