TELEGRAM TO THE OrSPATCH.t TJsioxnows, Oct. & Jack Eamsey, the wmpanion of Frank Cooley, who escaped he fate of the leader of the notorious "ayette county outlaws yesterday, was cap tured at 9 o'clock this morning near Fair shance with a man named David by Rev. Mr. Hunter, Chaplain of the Tenth Regi ment, If. G. P., Milt McCormick and A. J. THE COOLEY SISTEKS. Hicks, all of Fairchance. The two men were lodged in jail here at noon to day. An immense crowd gathered at the jail to Bee Ramsey, but he was quickly hurried inside. It is believed that since the death of Cooley and the capture of Ramsey the remainder of ( the gang will disperse and leave the MTinty. The story leading up to the death of j'rank Cooley and the capture of Ramsey is full of interest. It is the old story of the Judas Tscariot betrayal, and the principal Judas l this case is Sam Yeager, formerly one of te gang. Xeager was captured in Hope- ood, about a month ago, and lodged in iL By some means Sheriff JlcCormick .duced him to betray his former associates guilt. Yeager was to receive a good ire of the 51,500 reward and Sheriff Mc- rmick's influence in getting him an easy itence. Betrayed by Their Companions. The other principal in the betrayal was Brint Frey, who was with Cooley to the last, and was won over by Yeager. Through the efforts of Frey, Yeager agreed to have the Cooley leaders at Lute Cooley's resi dence last Sunday, which he did, and it was through his efforts that Cooley and Ramsey left their Winchesters at the house while they went out for a last look around the old homestead. About three weeks ago, while the gang was quietly scouring the mountains in pur suit of plunder, and while the community was hoping they had left the country, Sher riffMcCormick, accompanied only by Yea ger, left the jail about 10 o'clock one dark night. They rode up to the Cooley settlement. That the couple had left town was not fcnown here, and that they were in the heart of the Cooley region was not known by the people up there. It was a secret midnight ride, but was the shrewdest move enacted in the long hunt for the notorious Cooley eaderr. Yeager on that night betrayed his fellows .nto the hands of his pursuers. For three lours he led the Sheriff around and pointed JACK BASISEY. ut to him all their favorite bannts near he Cooley homestead, and about Fairchance nd Smithfield. He also led the Sheriff far ip into the mountains, and all the mount tin retreats were pointed out The Betraj er Gives Away the Snap. Yeager unfolded all he knew, where the ang had gone when he was with them, and rbere they spent most of their time. He aid that Frank Cooley and Eamsey in ariably spent Sunday at the Cooley home tead, and that the others posted themselves long the foothills as guards. From that night the fate of the Cooley ang was sealed. Sheriff McCormick im lediately began a systematic search for the utlaws, which ended in the death of Frank Jooley yesterday and the capture of Eamsey o-day, and that virtually means the com lete annihilation of tne gang. None of he other members of the gang will dare to how themselves again in this county. Llthongb one of their number, "Montana 'ete," is a desperate man, he will not mike successful leader, and it is probable that ie members of the gang yet at liberty will fuse to train under him. Ramsey's surrender to-day was as coward j as his desertion of his leader yesterday ben the Sheriff's men fell npon them. As ion as bis pursuers got him in close quar rs he threw down his revolver and sur ndered without a struggle. When he was rougbt to town to-day hundreds of people ironged the streets to see him. While iu ie saloon, where the officers took him at his iquest, be tried to give a face mask to a iend, but was detected and the mask se ared as testimony. Crowds Look at the Bandit's Body. AH day immense crowds of people ironged around the Cooley homestead to ie a look at the dead desperado and to tamine the battle-ground on which be iaed his notorious career. It is estimated 1st LOOO people viewed the dead bandit nee lie was killed, He will be buried to- fV morrow morning at 9 o'clock in tbe little cemetery at SmithfieldU His remains will be laid to rest beside those of hit brother Jack, who was buried Sunday, July 24. 1 is expected that an immense crowd will at tend the funeral, more out of curiosity and a feeling of satisfaction than respect Surprise is still expressed on all hands that after so long a series of shrewd tactics in dodging the authorities Cooley and Bam cey should at last have tempted fate in so foolhardy a manner as that in which they fell into the hands of the Sheriff and posse last evening. The old Cooley farm house where Lute Cooley and wife have raised their 15 children stands by the'Morgantown public road a mile and a half beyond Fair chance and about that far from the foot of the mountain under the cover of whose woods the outlaws have always felt safe. v FRANK COOLEY. It is a drive of about eight mil es from this place and late Saturday night the Sheriff gathered his deputies and started, his driver being the young oolored boy who made his escape with Cooler the night the latter cut his way out of jail three years ago pending his sentence for the Mollie Ross outrage at Smithfield. How the Capture TVas Arranged. The partv drove past the Cooley mansion to a vacant old lorr house that stands bv the roadside a quarter of a mile toward Smith field. Here they took up quarters and the team returned to town. In this old house they kept themselves concealed 'through bunday in lull view ot the uooiey resi dence and by the aid of a field glass could observe every movement Toward evening they quietly left their retreat and took positions along the Bkirt of the woods through which Cooley and Ramsey passed on their way to and from the mount ain, leaving behind in tbe log house one deputy with the field 'glass, who was to Big nal if the outlaws started for their mountain retreat The latter did not wait for night fall, but about 5 p. M., in full daylight walked boldly out of the Cooley house and started toward the woods, where, warned by the signal, Sheriff JlcCormick and posse were waiting to receive them. "When the Sheriff called on Cooley and Ramsey to surrender they started to ran back to the' Cooley house, 300 yards away, firing as they ran. They were in an open field, in the center of which stands an old snag of a broken tree ten feet high. When Cooley saw the posse gaining on him he took refuge behind this snag, from whicrnhe continued to fire until he emptied two revolvers. A neighbor who witnessed the battle from his house thinks in all about 20 shots were exchanged. The posi tion of the combatants at the time makes it probable that tbe shot which killed Cooley did not come from the Sheriff's weapon, but was fired by one ot the deputies, from whom the fugitive- could not so well conceal his body. The ball struck the edge of the snag and glanced off into the victim's breast Jack Ramsey's riight to the Woods. Ramsey easily distanced Cooley, being very fleet of foot He ran to the Cooley house and exclaimed, "They have killed Frank! my God, what will I do?" He jumped the fence, crossed the Morgantown road and disappeared in the opposite woods. Among the articles taken from Cooley's person by Coroner Holbert besides his empty revolver were a large lot of 38-caliber cartridges, a fine field glass, a black calico mask with holes tor the eves, a large sold watch, a pocketbook containing a $20 bill and some papers, several photographs of girls, including pictures of two of his sisters, whom he cherished for their fidelity to hi m to the end. There was ' also the badge of the Deputy Sheriff which the bandits stripped from Robinson, who had once run with them and afterward was caught and beaten by them because he betraved them and joined the Sheriff's deputies. All these articles are stained with Frank Cooley's lifeblood as it flowed where he fell by the snag. In his pockets also were found three let ters. One of these web written to him by a southern Fayette county dentist, of his acquaintance,- proposing that they pool and get the reward, the dentist to have $300 for handing him over to the Sheriff, Cooley to have the rest Another letter from a friend, postmarked at Smithfigld, Pa., March 22, is addressed to "Mr. Frank Pierce, Sedalia, Mo." , , Once a Fugitive In Missouri. Cooley's name was Frank Pierce Cooley, which snows him to have been in Missouri under the above alias at a time when officers were searching for him in Fayette county. It is since learned that he was in Sedalia last spring and got work with a liveryman, but was caught in appropriating funds and had to leave. A third letter was dated Pittsburg, Pa., February 26, 1892, and addressed to "The Cooley Boys in General, Fairchance, Pa" It is written in a good hand on a regular letter head sheet of Park Bros. & Co., Limited, Black Diamond Steel Works, and signed by Thomas Wickersham, 276 Thirty eighth street The writer assures them of his sincerity and identity by saying that he is personally acquainted with the Sweeneys, Abels, Nixons and a half dozen other families of the Fairchance neighbor hood. He then states that he is heartily disgusted with this everlasting hue ana cry about the "Cooley gang," that they are not half as bad as painted, and that he hopes they will yet come out all right The people of the southern end of the county say it was just such assurances of sympathy as this letter that encouraged the Cooleys to persist in their career of lawless ness. A WASDEEEE FOE TWO WEEK8. Peculiar Affection of tne Young Son of a Prominent Memphis Gentlemen, Memphis, Oct & Sxefol, Two weeks ago D. C. Thomas, 22 years old, son of D. D. Thomas, prominent citizen of Memphis, left here to go to New York to become a student at the Bellevue -Hospital Medical College. When he reached New York young Thomas telegraphed his father he had arrived safely, but his whereabouts have been a mystery until to-day, when he turned up In Nashville. A special from Nashville says (hat Thomas can give no, explanation of his strange actions. Upon his arrival in New York, ten days ago, he registered at the Union Square Hotel. The last thing he remembers was that be left the hotel to go to the medical college,but he never reached it SinceHhat time his memory has been blank. He carried a considerable sum of money, but this ' was found on bis person when he reached Nashville to-day. The only solution his friends here can offer is that he was suffering from teinpoary in sanity. AEGUING FOB THE DBLAXlTEBS. His Attorneys Claim That They Cannot Be Convicted on Tula Charge. Meadville, Pa., Oct a The Dela mater case, was resumed in court this after noon. Joshua Douglass for the defense ad dressed the court as to the law in the case and was followed by Hon. A. B. Richmond, also for the defense, who addressed the jury and claimedthat the defendant being indicted under the act of Hay 9, 1889,. cannot be indicted jointly or in co-partnership, and one so indicted cannot ho nnn. victed. The ptoof must be conclusive' against the entire three members of the firm. Thomas Roddy addressed the jury for the prosecutioq and will continue hjj argument to-morrow morning. I AN AWFUL OATH KEPT A Young Actor-Manager Shoots Him self Because He Had Sworn To. HE BELONGED TO A SUICIDE CLUB, ind Left a Kote to the Coroner to Bring in the Proper Terdict. WAS A MEMBER OP A WEALTH! FAMILY tSPXCIAIi TZLEOBUt TO THE DISPATCH. New Yobk, Oct 3. J. Barlow Moore head, a young actor, and manager for Gar land Gaden, the author and star of the "Young American" Theatrical Company, was found dead in bed in his room in the boarding house at 60 West Thirty-fifth street at 1 o'clock this afternoon. There was a bullethole in his left breast, and on the bed beside him lay a 32 -caliber revolver. A plctnre of his mother lay on the body, close to the wound. Mr. Gaden saw young Moorehead last evening about 6 o'clock and made an ap pointment to meet him at 1 o'clock to-day, when they were to complete arrangements for the production of the "Young Ameri can." Gaden lived at the Coleman House. Be called at the Thirty-fifth street house about 1 o'clock to-day, went to Moore head's room, and knocked repeatedly, but got no response. Fearing all was not right, he pnt his knee to the door, gave a push and snapped the lock. He found Moore head in his night clothes, his face ghastly pale. It was evident that he had been dead for some time. The Effects of the Dead Man. v Gaden hurried to the nearest police sta tion, and an officer was sent to take charge of the body, a messenger being dispatched ior coroner Dcnuuze. , The policeman found five letters, sealed and addressed, on a table in Moorehead's room. There were also a traveling bag and a trunk, containing wearing apparel. On the former was a nickel-plated tag bearing the inscription, "J. B. Moore, New York." Moore was the name under which the young suicide carried on his different theatrical ventures. The letters ivere addressed to "G. C Thomas, Drexel & Co., Philadelphia;" "Mr. Lennon, Coleman House;" "Cabby 841, New York City," and "Charles H. Moorehead, Bridgeton, N. J." There was also a letter addressed to the Coronr of the city of New York, They were all taken to the station houBe, where the envelope ad dressed to the Coroner was opened. Inside was found a letter head ot the Garland -I Gaden "Young American" Company, on which was written: 1:15 a. jr., Oct. 3. Coroner of flew York City: Dear Sib I have committed suicide, as per club. Please give verdict to such effect, and oblige, It ours truly, J. B. Moose. N. B. My proper name is J. B, Moorliead, of Philadelphia. G. C. Thomas, of Drexel & Co., Philadelphia, Is my uncle. Please notify him. J. B. Mooruead. Jr. A. Brother Actor's Story Told. Young Moorhead spent last night with Nestor Lennon, an actor in the -'Black Crook" Company now performing at the Academy of Music. Lennon was shocked beyond measure when Gaden rushed into the Coleman House after leaving the station and told him of Moorhead's suicide. Both men hurried back to the Thirty-fifth street house and took charge of the dead man's personal effects. Neither could as sign the slightest reason for the young man's deed. "Why, I only left him at 1 o'clock this morning, not much more than 12 hours ago," said Lennon to The Dispatch re porter. "He dropped into the Coleman House about 8 o'clock and suggested that we take a walk. I acquiesced and we strolled down Broadway, stopping at sev eral places. We finally landed at Amberg's Theater, on Irving Place. We drank some wine, chatted a little while with some friends, and then left From there we went jto Kostef & Bial's, where we enjoyed the performance right up to midnight We drank a good deal of wine, but not too much, I'm sure. He told me while we were at Amber's that he never felt better in his life. V He Asks One Last Favor. 'It was about 1 o'clock when we reached the Coleman House, and I said good night to him. He took a couple of steps and then turned, and with a 'more serious look than I had ever seen him wear before, said: 'I want you to do something for me.' 'Why certainly,' I said: 'what is it?' He took my hand and slipped two diamond rings on my middle finger. 'Never take them off as long as you live,' he said. 'Remember what I tell you. Never take them off I laughed. "He said good night and I went into the hotel. Then it struck me that all might not be right I resolved to make Moore head explain himself, and ran out of the hotel to the street About a block away I saw my friend talking to a cabman. I shouted and started to run toward him. He either Vlldn't hear me or did not want to, for before I had gone a dozen steps be jumped in the cab and the driver whipped up ant was off" Mr. Lennon had not seen Moorehead's letter to the Coroner. When The Dis patch reporter showed it to him and Mr. Gaden, and asked them if they could throw any light on Moorehead's meaning when he referred to "the slub," Lennon turned white and gasped. A Suicide Clubman's Death Kept ''Now I remember. He told me some thing last night about a club he belonged to He said it was a suicide club, and that he joined it in Philadelphia or New York, I don't remember which. I thought he was fooling and paid but little attention to him." "He's spoken of it before, hasn't he?" asked Lennon ot Gaden. "It seems to me that be has, but I always thought he was fooling," responded Gaden. Both men refused to say another word on the subject "Moorehead was a young man of wealth," said Gaden. "He inherited a fortune from hlsTandfather, and his father, Charles H. Moorehead, of Bridgeton, N. J., is rich. Moorehead had graduated as a physician and had traveled much. He was the pro jector of several theatrical ven tures In Europe while he was abroad, in all of which I believe he made money. When I first met him he was a very heavy drinker. He went to the Keeley Institute in Philadelphia for treatment about seven months ago. When he came out he was thoroughly cured, he told me, and would never drink another drop as long as he lived. One day he told me that if he ever found himself in the power of whisky again he would blow his brains out For months after that he never touched a drop of anything. About three months ago, however, I noticed that he was drink ing wine again, but. he never drank to ex cess. The company was to open at the Chestnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, HovemDer." BOLL IHXO SLAVERY. Tbe Steamer Montserrat Lands a Cargo of Islanders in Mexico, San Francisco, Oct a Private ad vices received here from San Benito, Mex ico, tell of the arrival there of the "black bird" steamer Montserrat with 500 Gilbert Islanders sold into almost absolute slavery. The Montserrat left, San Francisco nearly five months ago, having been chartered by the same people that sailed the ill-starred steam brig Tahiti. It was stated then that its cruise to Brit ish Columbia was merely a ruse, and that it was really a slaver working under the nefarious contract system. The Montserrat has accommodations lor 1,000 natives, but had difficulty in getting half the number, as the islanders bad heard ot the disaster to the Tahiti, All the 'natives tyere at once distributed among tbe coffee plantation planters near Kan Benito, THE RAZOR'S WORK. A Fatal Stabbing Affray at a Colored En tertainment in 'the East End John Gordon Severs Warren Cook's Jugu larThe Murderer Still at Largo. A fatal stabbing occurred at a colored entertainment in tbe East End late last night A colored congregation that holds services in Liberty Hall, Penn ave nue, gave a stereopticon show for the benefit of the church. There was a large crowd present and when the lights were turned down to enable the lantern to do its work a number of men be came noisy and created considerable con fusion. Order was restored until the entertain ment was nearly over. Then the trouble began again, and in the row that followed John Gordon drew a razor and slashed it across Warren Cook's throat There was a general melee. Charles Gor doD, John's brother, hit a man named Soniers on the head with a handy-billy. Both the Gordons escaped. 'Coqk was carried- to his home, on Park avenue, be low Shetland avenue, where Dr. W. B. Cathcart dressed the wound, putting'in nine stitches. Oook had lost a great deal of blood, the jugular vein having een laid bare. The doctor thought the "man could not live very long. Cook is about 40 years of age and has a wife and family. The police are after the Gordons. At 2 o'clock neither one had been captured. A number of special officers are on the trail, however, and they will be captured, it is thought, before long. TOO GHEAT A DISGBACE. Dann, Buffalo's Savings Hank Wrecker, Takes Folson and Ends His Life. Buffalo, Oct a It looked at noon to day as if Edward S. .Dann, the wrecker of the National Savings Bank, would obtain a ckange,of venue to the high court of heaven. He was lying at the point of death in a state of unconsciousness that has lasted over 40 hours. His family physician, Br. Har rington, thought his condition so serious that be had called Dr. Hopkins and Dr. Fotwell into consultation. Dann's attorney in the Supreme Court this morning had the trial of his client postponed one week. A (sensational rumor flew about the city this morning that Dann had tried to take his own life, and that bis unconscious condition was due to poison self administered. Dr. Harrington, while stating that Dann was a very sick man and would probably not re cover, declined to state the natnre of his symptoms. A positive statement has been made that the cause of Dann's sickness was poison. He died late to-night SHOT BY A WOMAN. Joseph Fisher Dies rrom a Wound, but Blames No One for tho Deed. Philadelphia, Oct 3. Joseph Fisher, SO years old, of Landenberg, Pa., died at the hospital here to-day from the effects of a gunshot wound. Considerable mystery is attached to the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting. - The only person pres ent when Fisher was shot was a woman named Ann Ruthvan. Fisher, so the doc tor says, was shot from the rear. The wound was in the arm, and death re sulted from uncontrollable hemorrhages. While being conveyed to the hospital Fisher exclaimed: "Why did she shoot'" When subsequently questioned regarding the manner in which he received his wound he answered: "No one is to blame." He was at his brother-in-law's house examining a loaded gun. He did not know how he came to be shot Fisher did not say the gun was in the woman's hand, but he did say that he "did not blame the woman." The Coroner is investigating the case.

BOTH MEN INFLUENCED BY SPITE Instead of a Change of Heart or Belief in Opponents' Policy. VETERANS STRANDED AT THE CAPITAL IFEOM A STAFF COBIUtSPOHDIST.l WASHlNOTok, Oct a There is no doubt in the minds of leaders of either of the old parties, apparently, that General Sickles has gone over to the Republicans, and nothing is thought to be more likely to happen than that the famous one-legged General, who has trained with the Demo crats for long years, will take the stump for Harrison before the end of the cam paign. Whether it is to offset this impor tant desertion from the Democrats that the story of the schism of Judge Walter O, Gresham from the Republicans was started is to some extent yet a mooted question in this city. The proof of the asserted action ,of the Judge in going over to the Democrats is not yet considered by e very one to be infallible. Republicans generally think that if Judge Giesham had fully decided to ally himself with the other side he would have said so in set words and not have permitted the news to be given out second-hand by an as sociate on the bench. There are Republi cans, however, who are ready to believe that the reports in regard to the action of J udge are true. A Hoosier's Size-Up of Gresham. A Republican official who is a citizen of Indiana, and who enjoys a close association with President Harrison, said to-day to the correspondent of The Dispatch: "I do not like to impute to a gentleman who has so well deserved the admiration of the public any petty or mean impulse, but I am almost convinced that Judge Gresham is guilty of a feeling of personal spite against President Harbison that is wholly unworthy of him, and of which I had not supposed him capable. I 'do not know to a certainty if it be true that Gresham has definitely settled in his own mind what complexion his opposition to the President shall take, but that he is not adverse to the defeat of Mr. Harrison I am well assured from private information given by persons who ought to know tne frame ot mind in which the Judge has been laboring for some years. "If I wrong Judge Gresham in my estimate of him I shall only be too glad to be con vinced of my mistake, but I have been con vinced ever since the renomination of Har rison that at some time prior to the elec tion tbe Judge would in some way antago nize the Republican ticket When it was announced that he would vote for the nomi nees of the People's party I was quite ready to believe the story to be true, though it did not agree with my estimate of his disposition that he would take that course best calculated to injure the chances of the Republican candidates. Having heard what I had heard of him, I was con vinced that he would go over to the Demo crats, as that would possibly do Harrison more damage, especially in Indiana, than anything else the Judge could do. The Most Becent of His Conversions. "I have been told, however, by a very good authority, that there are in existence letters from Judge Gresham to leaders of the People's party which indicate an inten tion on his part of supporting the candi dates of that party. His determination to affiliate with the Democrats must have been reached subsequent to the writing of those letters. "I see it stated that the action of Judge Gresham does not surprise many who know him on account of his convictions in favor of 'tariff reform.' Now, when did the Judge become a convert to the vague propositions of 'tariff reform?' Certainly not so long ago, as in 1888, when he was lairly crazed with his desire for the Republican nomination ior the Presidency. At any time during these four years he could have formally announced himself on the question of the tariff if he had experienced any radical change of heart, but he has chosen to re main silent until the arrival of that time when the publication of his intention would have the greatest power to injure the political prospects of the man who was the insurmountable obstacle in his way for the nomination in 188a If, therefore1, the re port in regard to the action of Judge Gresham be true, I am fully convinced that his conversion to the Democratic party is not the result of his wrestling with and re ceiving, new light on the tariff problem, but that his inspiration is wholly due to his desire, for purely personal and spiteful reasons, to compass the defeat of Harrison." Veterans Stranded at the Capital. It is to be regretted that a meeting so grand in all respects and so successfully managed as that of the Grand Army should have an aftermath of vagrancy, but that is the fact The last of the visitors who can get away have departed, but there remain hundreds of the old soldiers who were im provident, or who made a wide miscalcula tion of the amount necessary to put them through their visit and get them safely home. Many of these old boys in blue have been Buccored in one way or another, but appeals for assistance are still being made lor them in the local press. It is in sisted that the committee in charge of the entertainment might well devote some of the surplus cash left from the encampment fund to sending home these stranded peo ple. It is said that there is. or that there should be, a large surplus, but as no state ment bas been given out by the Finance Committee up to this time, tbe assertion cannot be verified. It is expected that as soon as the returns are all in from the auction sales of old material the committee will give to the public of Washington,, which was taxed $90,000 for the affair and which subscribed 50,000 more, an itemized statement of receipts and expenditures. It will be interesting to the people of the whole country to learn the exact cost of free lodgings, entertainment,decoration,etc. Sirs. Harrison Again Failing. The physicians of the White House again report symptoms more unfavorable in the case of Mrs. Harrison, and if the change continues for the worse for a day or two it is feared the patient will not be able to withstand the attacks of her disease. The Star this evening says that all hope of re covery is abandoned. "To assuage her Sain," says that paper, "and to make ber eclining'days as comfortable and as cheery as possible is all that medical science or the tender care of beloved ones can hope to do for her. How long the life about which the sympathies of this great nation have been so toucbingiy manifested may be prolonged is a question none may answer. That the President and family are. firmly convinced ot this is best shown by the anxiety they make no attempt to hide, for on every face, especially that of the President, the terri ble strain of the past five weeks, the loss of Bleep and days of anxious watching are plainly evident" IWO IHOUBAHD STUDENTS.
