THE
PITTSBURG DISPATCH; sBATUBDAY, MAT- 80, -1891.
-
WORRIED TO DEATH.
A Tictim of the Tarrytown "Explo
sion Expires in a Hospital.
KILLED BI TOO MUCH ATTENTION.
Coroner, Jury and railroad Officials Hasten
His Tragic End.
ACCUSED OP CEDIKAL CULPABH1TI
-Kew York, May 29. The inan or the
men responsible through culpable negli
gence for the terrible disaster neaFTarry
town, on the Sew York Central Kailroad,
rilluae 20 deaths to answer for when the
curtain has been rung down upon Coroner
Mitchell's ghastly farce. Edward Finne
gan, the foreman of the hapless gang on
the construction train when the fatal ex
plosion occurred, died in terrible agony at
the Provident Home Hospital. Great as
was his physical agony, the mental torture
to which he was, subjected during the last
week of his life was greater still.
Finncgan had gathered from hit conversa
tion ttith Mr. McCoy, the superintendent
of the Hudson river branch of the 2few
York Central Hailroad and from his inter
views with Detectives Gore and Dowd, of
the same corporation, as well as from the
line of inquiry pursued by Coroner Mitch
ell, who is said to have no connection with
the powerful railroad, that he
lVrfS to IJo the Scapegoat
in the affair, and that the raijroad, by
throwing him overboard and by saying that
he carried the dj naraite carelessly, hoped to
save itself from paying the damages to the
injured and the indemnities to the families
of the dead which any court of law would
allow.
This line oCdefense was more fully devel
oped at the inquest on Monday, when Boss
rorcmanTra is deposed that he had ex
pressly ordered Finnegan not to bring from
Douches Grove any dynamite, but simply
the blacksmith's tools. This evidence was
not strengtheneebby the almost miraculous
appearance of Henry Scully, who presented
himself w ithout awaiting the formalitv of a
Eiibpoma, and deposed that he overheard
these orders given as Travis stated. In ex
planation of his unbidden presence on the
stand lie let the cat out of the bag by saying
that he had conversed with Travisfor over
half an hour, and that somewhat later an
ofiieial of the l oad told him to go to the in
quest, "as his evidence was valuable."
Mental as "Well as Physical Agony.
As his strength waned poor Finnegan
knev there was on foot an attempt to rob
him of his reputation as a reliable and cap
able employe, which he had deserved by 14
ears of efficient work. His statement will
be placed before the members of the grand
i'ury which meets on Monday at white
'Jains.
All "Wednesday night the harassed fore
man was delirious, and cried again and
asain in his agony: "God knows they or
dered me to "bring tip the dynamite. I
knew the full danger of it, and lor the sake
of my children Would not have run the
danger and exposed the men of my gang to
such a terrible death had not the orders
been given me."
Dr. Irwin G. Adams, of JJcllevue, who
was in charge of Finnegan during his last
illness, made the following statement for
publication, which is confirmed in everv
particular by John F. Zaremha, a trained
nurse, also from Btllevue.
A Plijsician's Solemn Statement.
Coroner Mitchell and his jury have been to
see linnegan twice. The first time they
took a long statement from him and left him
In an exhausted condition. Two days later
his le was amputated, hut he stood a fair
chance for recovery.
LastJIonday the jury came again. Finne
gan s pulso and respiration were then nor
mal. The seven men were witlfJ him half an
hour, although they had no authority to see
Inm and came against the wishes of tho
nurse and matron. When they left Finne
gan became delirious and his temperature
went up to 10G.
Tliev asked questions that tended to ex
cito his mind, and cro&s-examined him to
verify his former statement. Since then he
lias raved about the inquest and the disaster,
repeatedly asserting that Scully, who veri
fied Tra is statement regarding JFinnegan's
orders, did not tell tho truth. 1 do nothesi
tato to say that Finnegan, in my opinion,
would have been alive to-day if lie had not
been worried by the jury. Of course, he
might have died anyway, but the chances
favored his recov ery.
The doctor might have added that the
visits of Superintendent McCoy and De
tectives Gore and Dowd did the dying man
no good, while the presence of his wile by
his oedside, would have had a trancfUilizing
effect upon his harrassed nerves.
An Ignorant Interpreter Employed.
The Coroner brought with him from
Yonkers Joseph Canopi, an honest old
Italian, to talk to his countrymen, who
were all on hand bright and early. Their
names were Angelo Dittore, Frank Angelo,
Antonio Debone and Angelo Spino and Vit
torio Italiano, from Bellevue Hospital.
Canopi comes from Genoa and understands
no more of the Calabrian dialect, which the
surviving Italians speak, than the man in
the moon. He did not understand the Cal
abrians and they did not understand him,
and when he commenced to put what he
certainly thought the Calabrians meant to
say into English, the jurymen and sten
ographer could not understand what he
meant.
Then an obliging French-Canadian jumped
into the breach, but as the Calabrians con
tinually appealed for explanations and
counter explanations tne duty ol interpreting
the Coroner's questions and the answers of
the Italians finally devolved upon another.
CoronerMitchell submitted to the inevitable
with a very good grace.
The Italians made excellent witnesses,
aud their testimony did not clash in a single
particular with the interviews and the affi
davits which have been published. The
following is the testimony of one of them,
.cgeic opino:
Here Is a Clear Story.
We loaded on the cart about 25 cases of
the Westllng cartridges at Dudley's Grove.
Several of tho cartridge boxes, I think
three, were without covers and completely
exposed. The boxes were placed on top of
cich other, making a pilo about four feet
high on the forward end of the truck near
est the engine, the explosive cap3"wth the
wires and tapers attached were plaecdloose
1 in ono of the boxes on top of tho pile
which was open. They ore lying loose and
protuded abot e the box and w ere exposed
to the wind .ind the sparks.
As -new ere afraid that one of these ex
ploding caps might fall or ho blow nbv the
t ind down to tho floor of the car and ex
plode, Cerotto, one of the Italians who were
Jellied, stood by the pile of boxes to steady
and balance the exploding caps and keep
them from tailing.
1 baio been working on the road three
months, but never have I seen a construc
tion train sent along at such speed as was
oui train the morning of the explosion. I

my hrad f.icnv outh, in order to escape as

which escjped this shower that I might

As I turnpd around, I think, I saw the
fumacoof the engine open and tho fireman
shoveling on coat But r would not like to
swear to this. The engine was not slowing
up iu tho least. We were going at great
tpeed, almost, if not quite, as fast as an ex
press train. As I stood facing the engine I

upon us ij.11 into tho open box ot dynamite.

a careless manner. Throughout tho trip I
expected a disgrazia (misfortune) to happen.
Then Vittorio Italiano told his story as it
has been published. The Coroner;
"Did you tell a reporter or anyone else
that a Signor Dolliberti, the 'boss' of the
Central Kailroad at Tarrytown. called on
you and told you to give no evidence; that
there was no um suing the railroad, as it
was 20 times as powenui as the courts, ana
that if you held your tongue the railroad
promised to pay your expenses while sick
and would give you a good job when you re
covered?" Poor Vittorio swayed to and fro, and tears
came into his eyes. "Lasciami andare," he
exclaimed. "ct me go; my head aches
with all your questions."
"Answer me, yes or no," shouted the
Coroner.
Vittorio burst into (ears andi then
answered: "Ys; so help mo God, it is all
Unie. Signor Dolliberti told me all that."
Then the Coroner folded up his papers
with the air of a man who has a decided
grievance against destiny, and adjourned
the inquest until "Wednesday next.
BAD FOR THE BRIBERS.
THE
OXLT XMTOIITA3XT WITNESS Hf
THE NEW ORLEANS CASE
Captured and Jailed atKost Ft. Louis no
Fled From Home to Avoid Testifying
Ho Says He Will Tell tho Truth Under
Compulsion Only.
St. LOUIS, May 29. Leonce Burthe, the
principal and, in fact, the only witness
against the jury bribers in the case growing
out of the Mafia trials at Kew Orleans, was
arrested in East St. Louis this afternoon,
and is now in jail in that city. Burthe, it
will be remembered, left Xew Orleans to
avoid testifying in the bribery trials. He
arrived here "Wednesday and registered at
the Mozer Hotel, where he was located by
Detective Archambault. -Burthe discov
ered that he was being watched and gave
the detective the slip.
This morning a cousin of the fugitive
called at the Mozer for his valise, and the
cousin was shadowed to .East St. Louis,
where the officer made the arrest while
Burthe and his cousin stood on the street
corner talking. "When taken to the station
the following telegram, dated Hew Orleans
and addressed, to William Masson, Burthe's
cousin, was found:
Tell my son to leave the State of Missouri
immediately and go to another State. Ad
vance him $50 and draw on mo for tho same.
LouisTJcr'iie.
"When seen by a reporter Mr. Burthe at
first refused to talk, but a few leading ques
tions opened his mouth. He said: "When
the Hennessey murder case was called, I
was drawn on the panel. Before I was ex
amined and rejected F. Anrant approached
me and said that I would get 1,000 if I got
on the jury and foundthe Italians not guilty.
I told him I could do nothing of the kind.
After the trial I told Mr. Parkinson that
the Edgar "White the Deputy Sheriff had
threatened would kill me if I testified
against his friend Armant Yes, I was
afraid and left New Orleans and got
1,000 j" but he seemed to realize that he
was telling too much, and in the very next
breath said that he left New Orleans of his
own free wilL
"If I testify against those two men it will
be because I am compelled to, as they have
families and I don't want to send them to
the penitentiary. There was no reason for
my leaving 2ew Orleans, except to save
those two men from penal servitude." It is
not known whether or not he will go back
without requisition papers. The only
charges on which he can be taken back are
contempt of court or compounding a felony.

AMBTJSHED BY INDIANS.
Two Campers Have a Thrilling Adventure
From Which One Failed to Escape.
Atoka, L T., May 29. TV. J. Newcomb,
a picture canvasser who has just arrived
here, relates a thrilling adventure with the
Indians at Boggy Depot, 15 miles south of
Atoka. .Newcomb and his partner, B. H.
Stapleton, camped near an Indian camp,
and in some manner offended the Indians, .
whereupon they were ordered to leave,
which they did. They had traveled bnt a
short distance when tney found themselves
ambuscaded.
Newcomb jumped from his buggy, and
mounting a horse made his escape, though
bullets from the Indians' rifles whistled
near his head. Newcomb reported that he
believed Stapleton had been killed, bnt
little credence was placed in his story.
Later, however, the fact of Stapleton,' s
death was confirmed, the Coroner from that
vicinity reporting that his body had been
found riddled with bullets.

That's the sort of victories we are achieving daily. Strongly entrenched in a fortification which
enables us to defy every assault we wage successful commercial war upon our competitors.
Not war with the roar of cannon and the rattle of musketry, but we storm the enemy with a fire
of low figures and splendid values that forces them from the field of battle, unable to stand the
hot shot which we pour into their ranks. O U R F LA G OFTRIUMPH continually waves
in the breeze of popularity, and our trumpet-call to genuine bargains is responded to by an ever
increasing number of patrons. shhbsh-s -
