THE PnTSBTTEG DISPATCH, FRIDAY . AUGUST 23, 189L
T
Pittsburg Detectives Make a Capture
of One of the Gang of Indi
viduals Wanted for
MURDERING MRS. PAUL RUDERT.
Be Makes the Claim That He Can Prove He
Was Confined in the Penitenti
ary at Colnmbns
OX THE DAT OF THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Wanted at Becwood. West Virginia, for Shooting the
lorn Marshal.
After eluding the police tor a year and a
half, Thomas Condry, alias Eggie Conroy,
lias been captured. He is wanted for the
murder of Mrs. Paul Rudert, at Tarentum,
December 23, 18S9. His capture recalls the
facts of one of the most sensational tragc
dics ever occurring in Allegheny county.
Alexander JEvilliiin is now in the county
jail under sentence of death for the same
crime and there is a true hill against Con
dry. About T o'clock last evening Detectives
Fitzgerald and Shore were walking along
Spring alley, when they met Condry at the
intersection of Slocnm's alley near Twelfth
street. They at once recognized him. On
account of his reputation and being a large,
powerful man, the detectives stepped up
close to him before addressing him, so that
if he made any move toward escape or at
tack they would have the advantage. But
lie made no attempt to do either, and when
told he was wanted, went along qnietly.
COJTDEY GIVES HIS XAME.
On the way to Central station in the pa
trol wagon Condry said Mb name was John
"Wilson. "While he had no home in particu
lar he said he had lately been working at
-I'i
The Ting-VTfinted Thomas Condry.
JIcKeesport, coming to this city about two
weeks ago. Since that time he has done
nothing, but has been visiting various rel
atives here. Later, after being locked up,
he admitted to Detective Fitzgerald that he
was Thomas Condry. He said his home "was
nt "Wheeling, "West Ta. He emphatically
denied, however, that he had anything to
do with the murder of -Mrs. Kudert and de
clared he would have no trouble whatever
in proving an alibi.
The basis of his alibi is that on May 24,
2889, lie was sent to the Columbus Peni
tentiary by Judge Johnston, of Ohio, for a
robbery he had committed at Mahonington.
He was not released from the prison, he
fays, until January 3, 189L During his
confinement he was 2fo. 20,408. and the
name under which he was convicted was
John Maek. Cowdry is 38 years of age,
about 5 lect 9 inches in height and weighs
about ISO pounds. He is a well-proportioned,
strongly-built man, of dark com
plexion, hair, mustache and eyes. But for
a lowering expression caused by heavy,
1uhy eyebrows he would be considered
fine looking.
His connection with the Eudert murder
was established by the late Detective Gil
kinson and ex-County Detective Langhorst.
He was known to have been connected with
several burglaries. A photograph of him
being shown to Jlr. Eudert and several
other witnesses, they all identified him as
lieing one of the bold band that had robbed
Eudcrt's t-tore and killed the proprietor's
wife in such a cold-blooded manner. It was
also learned that Condry was wanted at
Benwood, V. Va., where a reward of 5250
was offered for his arrest for shooting the
town marMial trying to prevent his escape
from prison.
the irrwAitjis roit his akkest.
The Gilkinson Detcctne Agency sent
out circulars bearing photographs and de
scriptions of Condry and Peter Urifien.alias
Pcterl.ee. It offered a re ward of S.WO for
their arrest and conviction of the Tarentum
murder, and 52.10 for Condry's arrest on the
Benham charge. On the same circular new
description"! of Henry Anderson, alias
"Xew York Shine," a colored man, and an
other man known as "The Pntchnian, "alias
"The Of rman," for whom no other name
could be secured. These were also believed
to have been connected with the Eudert
murder.
"Xew York Shine" was arrested last
winter by Detcctne Fitzgerald, but had no
difficulty in establishing an alibi. He is
now in the Workhouse for larcenv.
On the evidence gathered by County De
tective Langhnrst, the Gilkinson Agency
and the Pittsburg police, true hills were
found bv the grand jury against Griffcn,
Condry "The Dutchman" and Alex. Kil
lcn. 'i'he last named wn convicted and
sentenced to death for the murder of Mrs.
Eudert. Nothing has ever been heard of
Griften or"The Dutchman,"althoughevery
ellort has been made to locate them.
Detectives Shore, Fitzgerald and Coulson
alter hearing Condry's statement as to the
whereabouts at the time of the murder said
they believed him. Fitzgerald says he
never really believed that Condry" was
present at the Tarentum murder, although
bomc rather strong evidence was brought
against him. Coulson was of the same
opinion.
OXE CRIMn ADMITTED.
Condry admits having had something to
do w ith "the shooting of the "West Virginia
deputy, but says he did not shoot, he was
ouiy in the party when the shooting was
done.
Inspector McAleese last night notified
the authorities at Benwood of the arrest of
Condry. It is expected they will at once
secure" requisition papers in order to be
Erenared for any steps that may be taken
y the Court here. District Attorney Bur
leigh wa also notified of the circumstances
of the case, and he will at once proceed to
investigate the alibi Eet up by ,jlic prisoner.
If it should prove to be substantiated, as
Inspector McAleese and all the detectives
believe it will, the indictment against Con
dry hero will be nol prossed, nnd he will be
turned over to the AVest Virginia authori
ties. Inspector McAleese produced a letter
last night that he received in relation to the
shooting of which Condry is accused. It is
dated "Wheeling, October 29, 1888," from
the then Chief of Police, Porter Smith. It
stated that Condry had shot the Marshal of
T
QMCQNDBYCAUGH
1 w
offered a reward of 5250 for him from the
Benwood authorities. The marshal was not
dangerously wounded, the letter stated.
Condry, it said, would probahly be found in
some of the low dives about the city. The
name of the marshal was not given.
The Pittsburg police have been watching
the house of a relative of Condry's. where
he was captured, for nearly two years. Qn
several occasions when they received word
that he was in town or expected here detec
tives shadowed the house for whole days
and nights to no purpose Condry was then,
according to his own statement, an inmate of
the Columbus penitentiary.

asked him "where lie wanted off," and ho
replied "Atwood streesh."

LAST DAY OP THE SCHMEETZ SALE.
Pittsburg's Death Rate Is Still Far Abore
That of Last Tear.
SNAP SHOTS AT THE TWO CITIES' NEFS.
After September 1 the Fire and Police
Bureaus of the Department of Public Safety
will be under a new system of management.
The new Chief Engineer, Miles Hum
phreys, will then take charge of the
former. Gamble "Weir, who has up to
this time been Superintendent of the
Bureau of Police in little more than
name, will assume full charge of it.
Heretofore Mr. "Weir's duties have consisted
in looking after station houses, uniforms,
patrol service and other paraphernalia of
the bureau, and, although Superintendent
of Police in name, has had no power over
the workings of the police. .Under this sys
tem the inspectors of the three police dis
tricts have each managed their own men, be
ing responsible to and governed by the
Chief of the Public Safety Department. As
sistant Superintendent O'Mara has had
some supervision over the police of tire city,
but was not possessed of power to direct the
movements of the three Inspectors.
TO BE SUPERINTENDENT SURE ENOUGH.
Now there is lb be a change. Superin
tendent "Weir will assume the duties prop
erly belonging to his office. His word will
be law to all the members of the Bureau
of rollco. He will direct tho Inspectors in
their work: receive and attend to all com
plaints and have general supervision over
the actions of the force. Assistant Superin
tendent O'Mara will nssist Suoerintendent
Weir In managing the Bureau and act in Ills
Slaco when ho is absent. It is said that Chief
rown decided to make this chance bcloro
Uie started on his recent trip West.
During his connection with the Bureau or
'Police under Chief Brown Mr. Weir, though
limited in power, has worked hard to bring
tho operation of tho force into systematized
shape. He has succeeded beyond tho ex
pectation of all. As far as he could ho has
made the Bureau the equal of any in the
country. In assuming his now duties Mr.
Weir will not bostCDnlng into a new field.
For many years of his life he has been
an ofiiccr of the law In one capacity or
another and is thoroughly familiar with tho
methods of detecting and apprehending
criminals. Besides this Mr. Weir possesses
executlvo ability and is especially adapted
for commanding and directing the move
ments of men. Members of the bnreaufcvho
know him are all happy to learn or the
change.
CHIEF BltOWX NOT SAYING ANYTHING.
Chief Brown, when asked about the mat
ter, yesterday, said: "I have nothing at all
to say concerning It, now." There is no
doubt, however, about the fact that tho
change has been decided upon by the chief,
who has made the workings of his donart-
ment a study, and is endeavoring in every
way to sytematlze It as much as possible.
Mayor Gonrley, when he had heard of the
matter yesterday, was very much pleased. ,
"I have always regarded Mr. V. eir," said
he, "as a man ot abllitv in police matters
nnd am glad to hear that he is to have full
control of the bureau. His knowledge of
such things will enable him to 'conduct its
affairs in a thoroughly satisfactory manner."
Several changes wiil be made in the Public
Safety offices. The office now occupied by
Assistant Superintendent O'Mara will be
used by Superintendent Weir. It will be the
general office of the police bureau. The
present superintendent's room will be used
as a private office. Several alterations will
bo made, and an architect is now at work on
them.

greatly edified by tho lond conversation be
tween a husband and wife. Mrs. Mattlo
Meldrum, of Bloomfleld, enme out of the
theater with a tall, well dressed and rather
good-looking young man. They had reached
tho corner of Penn nvenue on their way to a
car when James Meldrum, the husband of

after and caught tip to them. Ho began to
upbraid his wife in a loud voice for being in
the company of tho young man, who, at tho
first sound, had made his escape In the
crowd.
Mrs. Meldrum stopped short and defended

ON A DOUBLE TURN.
Vesuvius Owners Successful in Get
ting More Work Done.
OLD HANDS AKE GETTING SCAEED.
The Amalgamated Association Takes the
Embargo Off Mills
IT ONE TIME CALLED BLACKSHEEP
The plate rolls in the Vesuvius mill at
Sharpsburg were put on double turn last
night, and the interest in the struggle con
sequently deepened. The bar rolls con
tinued in operation, and, it is said, had the
effect of inducing some of the old hands to
turn in. The difficulty the association will
now have will be to keep its men in line, as
the firm has announced its intention of pro
ceeding with its work. Protection to every
man who elects to take employment is
promised by the company.
Among the finishers on strike are some
men who worked in non-union mills years
ago, hut were since taken into the union
fold. Those are being closely watched, for
it is thought that if they go back the rest
will follow in a sort of catch-as-catch-can
race for the jobs.
ANXIOUS TO GET WHITE MEN.
It is not known how soon an effort will
be made to start up the other two
trains of rolls, or the puddling depart
ment. The firm is anxious to procure
white labor if it is forthcoming, but it
has the names of 175 colored workers
who are ready to turn in. If the white men
aro not willing to work when the depart
ment is ready for lighting up, tho firm w ill
resort to colored assistance Very few
puddlers or their, helpers are to be seen
about tho streets; they have nearly all found
employment elsewhere.
A joint meeting of the puddlers and fin
ishers is to bo hold to-morrow afternoon. So
it is said, though no official notice is given.
At association headquarters yesterday the
President took exception to tho statement
made in yesterday's issue regarding a meet
ing held on Wednesday. Ho said the Sharps
burg finishers called at the office and
said that no such meeting had been
held. The fact of the matter was that a
meeting was held and discussions indulged
in, but it was Dehind closed doors. The
meeting was held at a street corner. Orders
for goods on the two Amalgamated stores
are being given to thoso in want of provis
ions, and it Is stated that one man's rent was
paid to prevent his family being put on the
street.
MUCH SPECULATION AFOOT.
Thero Is much speculation and rumina
tion, too, among the oldor and cooler heads.
One of them yesterday did a little figuring.
"The prospects are not bright for running
this strike ho said," and it seems to me ic
win dc added to toe list or non-union 1111119.
It Is already long enough. In three years
tne Association lias lose ouu men in wuiiam
Clark's mill; 450 in the Fort Pitt; 750 in Lin
ger Ximick's; 450 in the Glendale Spike
works; 400 men in Spang's steel mill, and
now tho 400 more in the Vesuvius may be
added to the total, which figures up 2,850
men.
At the last convention of the association
the policy of the organization towards non
union, or "blacksheep" mills, underwent a
very radical change. A report was brought
up in committee making it legal for asso
ciation men to work in mills which, though
non-union in tho sense that they had not
slgnod tho scale, j-et adopted It as the basis
ot wages. This was accented by the con
vention with instructions it should go Into
effect on the 1st of August.
A VEBY RADICAL STEP.
This is generally regarded as a very radi
cal step, as it practically puts the mill
which refuses to sign the scalo on the samo
footing as tnat which docs. An official of
the organization holds tnat It only applies
in tho case of such mills as pay Amalga
mated rates in all their departments,though
they had not "signed" the August scale. If
this construction is correct tho
policy of tho convention will re
"lnatn inoperative inasmuch as there
is not a non-union mill which pays
.in all its departments the samo rate as pro
vided for under the scale. Thus it would bo
practically a dead letter. But there is reason
to believe that, in effect, union men will be
privileged to work In mills where, for the
work they do, equal rates aro paid' with
those tilling where the scalo is in force.
That is, that union men can accept work in
mills where say one-hnlf of the men are
paid scalo wages, and the other not. This
will bo tantamount to permitting union men
to work with non-unionists, a departure
from orthodox principles, which is regarded
as being momentous.
SOMETHING INTERESTING
Said to Be, Because of Meetings Between
Messrs. Kllver, Welhe and Martin.
There is something of an interesting char
acter on foot between somo prominent local
labor leaders, past and present. President
Kllver, of the Brotherhood of Car
penters, and President Welhe, of
the Association of ironworkers, had
quite a chat at tho latter's office
yesterday afternoon. Later, whilo ex-Secretary
of the Association William Mnrtin
was talking to a reporter, Messrs. Kllver and
Swartz came along. Mr. Martin at once
joined them, excusing his abrupt departure
with the remark: "Here Is the very man I
have been waiting for."
Mr. Kllver is understood to hnve promised
tho press a statement regarding the late
trouble among his trade before his depart
ure. He inav, perhaps, embody in it some
thing regarding his interviews with Mr.
Weiho and Mr. Martin.

Discredits Any Strike.
The president of a labor- organization,
who is generally well Informed, predicted
last night thero would be no troublo be
tween the window class manufacturers and
their men. Ho said he had good reason for
taking this view, though ho would give no
reasons. Tho next few days are expected to
bring forth developments in this affair.
TBIED TO IDENTIFY MLLLEB.
A Sensational Jimmy Ryan Story That Was
Xippod in the Bad.
Yesterday atternoon a man with a red
nose, a bad case of stutter and tho name of
L. W. Sample, called at The Disvatoii office
aud told a long story of his connection witii
PInkerton. Ho said he know Jnmes W.
Miller, and like many others, declared ho
could positively identify him as "Jimmy
Ryan." Ho said that all ho needed was to
get his eyes on him. Ho would point htm
out in a crowd. Ho made a request that Mr.
Miller should go out to Lowlcr's saloon, In
Oakland, and ho would thero identify him.
.Mr. Miller at once declared such an identi
fication was impossible. Last .night a re
SortormetSample in Oakland, and made a
ate with him at Xewcll's at 11:30. Tho man
came there and was tiien nilotcd up to The
DisPATon office. Mr. Miller was already
there, and was introduced to Mr. Sample ns
the city editor. Mr. Miller asked Samplo
how he could Identify the man, and the
hawkeyed detective at for nearly 15 min
utes nnd told all he knew of ll an, and how
he could be positively identified. He then
gotup nnd left, sorry that ho had not had
un opportunity to exercise his wonderful
NO LOVE FOR A NEW LAW
On the Fart of the County Commissioners
They Think They Have Knough Work
to Ho at Present What Ii Noir Asked
of Them.
There is one act that was passed ot the
last session of the Legislature that isn't
likely to go into effect, if some people know
themselves, and they think they do. The
act recites that hereafter, when any State,
county and poor taxes arc placed in the
hands of a collector for collection, in ac
cordance with any existing law of this Com
monwealth, the nmount shall bo credited
to tho treasurer of tho county, if previously
charged to him and charged to the collector;
and such collectors shall glvo bond to the
county, with sureties to be npproved by tbo
Commissioners of the county, and in such
amount ns they may "doslgnate. Collectors
arc to bo appointed or elected in tho man
ner now nrovldcd by law in each
county, and shall make monthly
returns to the Commissioners of the amounts
collected, and at the same tlmo pay to tho
treasurer tho amounts shown by the ro
turns to have been collected.
The heat generated In the Commissioners'
office when the above law was made known
yesterday was llko that of certain chemicals
united. Mr. Jfercer, however, states that
the theory will not win, as the act regukjt
ing the matter, that of 1S01, Is a special one,
nnd this does not repeal it, and, Percy Digby
added, not even by implication.
It is said that the arrangement proposed
by the act of 1891 would save some person in
the County Treasurer's office n large amount
of work, but tho Commissioners aro neither
thirsting for glory nor do they want any
more work and responsibility thrust upon
them.
Tho indications at present arc that there
may bo a considerable amount of friction be
tween the offices beforo the matter Is accom
modated. It seems It Is nosmnll matter to get
settlements out of some delinquent collect
ors, and the Commissioners evidently think
their work sufficient at present.
COULDN'T STAND HIS TEABS.
Mrs. Susanna Welsh Complains Against Her
Husband, bat Forgives Him.
Mrs. Susanna Welsh, a frail little woman,
32 years old, entered the office of the Anti
Cruelty Society yesterday afternoon and
asked Agent Dean to protect her from her
husband. She keeps a boarding houso at
Xo. 22 De Sota street, and with an additional
income of $23 per month from a piece of
property has managed to live comfortably
as a widow, her first husband being dead.
Becently she met Welsh, and, falling in love,
married him.
Tho day after the marriage, she said, he
demanded that her property be given to
him. She declined, and from that date she
claimed she has been subjected to all kinds
of abuse. He broke her organ, the table
ware and the furniture. Wednesday night
he drove her out of the bouse.
Mrs. Welsh Just finished this narrative
when she observed her husband standing on
tho opposlto side of tho street. Agent J. A.
Sweeny was sent across and brought him
into the office. Ho was told of tho com
plaint and began to cry like a child. He said
110 was guilty of all the charges but sincere
ly sorry. He then caught his wife's hand
and pledged himself to a good life and
swore that ho would never act so again. His
wife remained firm and ho then pleaded
with Mr. Dean not to send him "out in the
cold world" without friends or money. Mr.
Dean remarked that it would not be "In a
cold world, but in the workhouse."
Agent Sweeny was appealed to, and also
declined to interfere. Welsh then with
tragic dignity said: "It's all up. Take me
to the workhouse." At this his wife com
menced to cry, and a reconciliation followed
that set all in tho office laughing.
A DAY'S ACCIDENTS.
Four Occurrences in Which as Many Peo
ple Sustained Serious Injuries.
Only fonr accidents, and those of minor
character, were reported yesterday. One of
these, a little girl who fell from a window,

A Royal Greeting Extended Him by
Republicans at Braddock,
HE MAKES A SIGNIFICANT SPEECH.
An Outburst of Cheers at the Mention of the
Xame of Blaine.
MOKE CLUBS FOR THE P1TTSBUEG HAN
A royal greeting was extended to Hon.
John Dnlzell at TSraddock last evenine by
the delegates and alternates elected to go
to Scranton in his interest for the Presi
dency of the State League of Bepublican
Clubs. The little Congressman was the
hero of the hour, and it was with the ut
most confidence of ultimate success that he
was entertained by 60 of the Republicans
of tbe neighborhood. From the depot to
the banquet hall at the Frantz Hotel he was
escorted in a carriage by the reception com
mitteeCaptain Charley "Wood, "W. "W.
MeCleary and 3". F. Bennett. Sheriff Mc
Candless, Superintendent Luckey and
George Miller accompanied Mr. Dalzell.
Speechmaking following the feast. 'Squire
Fred "W. Edwards was toastmaster. A. M.
Carline, a representative citizen, who stands
high in Grand Army circles, responded to
the toast, "Onr Guest." "Our Clubs" was
the toast assigned to Mr. Dalzell, and it was
a glorious address that followed. Mr. Dalzell
first paid tribute to the late Captain Jones,
whose memory, ho said, would be fragrant
forever, This touched tho hearts of his fol
lowers at Braddock, and he had them spell
hound through his eloquent remarks that
followed. In 1S38, he said, there were 100
Republican clnbs in this Commonwealth,
when the suggestion was offered that a na
tional league should be established, and tne
following year, there were 4,000 clubs
throughout tho Union. The idea was thnt
thero should be a club for every voting pre
cinct. In his jndgment five clubs, witn 20
members each, had more strength than ono
club with 100 members. At the last Conven
tion of Republican Clubs 212 clubs were all
that wero in existence. One-half of these
were from four eastern counties. When the
idea was suggested to him that he become a
candidate for tho Presidency, it was with
tho understanding tbnt there would be no
contest. Ho said that while ho was In the
fight to stay, ne would never have entered
the contest had ho known that such a tussle
wns to follow.
The question to be decided now, Mr. Dal
zell said, was not so much the contest of the
Presidency, but whother the minority nt the
convention shall ga? the majority. He de
clared that they shall not, aad that it was
the intention to march home after the meet
ing, nn unbroken column, with victory
pinned to their banners.
Mr. Dalzell declared himself in favor of
the State ticket, and said: "If we are true to
ourselves wo must win." 3Ir. Dalzell, in
closing, confined his remarks to the prin
ciples of his party, saying that it was the
party of such eminent statesmen as Harri
son, Reed and McKinley and thnt peerless
statesman, James G. Blaine. At the sound
of tho names of McKinley and Blaine his
hearers nearly went wild.
Addresses were mnde by Mr.Luckey.Shoriff
McCandless, Mr. Wood, Captain Whalen and
others. There were ten clubs represented.
