VtnnJ"s Arrest.
This was tbne without delay, and
sxn th'? prls.mfr was In Chb'f Harri
gan's private otlioo, in the Font' Courts
prison. He was as paie as d-jath and
chock like an aspen leaf. He did not
know why he was arretted, but his
Sulky ci it'rl.'nce emild rv t b con
trulltd. Chief Desmond put Mundy on
th.? rack. For two hours h- lab.nvd
with the doss-Hi prisoner without a
word of confession. He told plausible
storiu, and could n. t h? tripped or c.
jc!ed. At lay: Dtsmond trave up the
Job In dit-sust and ordered the prisoner
locked up.
Mundy wa out In double Irons, and
in company with the Toledo officers
boarded last evening a train out of St.
Lciuis. Mile after mile Mundy and the
watchful officers of the law rode In a
d-'Uble seat in silence. Not a word wts
rpoken. Mundy began to twist and
siiulim. His lips were pressed tiirhtly
together, his ha-Ji trembled anil his
whole frame shook with suppressed
emotion. He was abou: ready to col-lap-ij.
Chief Raitz turr.el, slappd him
suddenly on the knee, nnd ?ald, wlrh
Icy dirtinctness: "Mundy, you miht
as well tell what you know about this
matter. I have enough evidence to
hang you, but if you '.ell the truth with
out any falsehood." It will bo all the bet
ter for you In the end."
Mundy weakened t4hly as the chif
spoke. The strain rl Ibeen too grfit
for his nerves. Littl Iy little he told
the story of the awfS feed.
Confesses trw rime.
"Yes, I killtd her," ?ald the prisoner,
chokinr; with emotion. "The deed was
done In January, ISO;!. 'Vyelld not live
happily tegi-th?r and she had '.Tie ar
ersted ar.d flntd In police court the
monMi bf-fone. I was angry and had
been drlnklns. The devil himself mut
have bef;n In me that awful night. The
children had all gone to bed. We had
words and I knocked her down. I
thought she wa? d;ad, she lay still
and dil not breathe.
"Then the df.mon Rot Into mo. I
choked her until s'ae got blank In the
far-e. I knew she was dead, but I was
will crazy. I took the butt end of a
butcher knife thit had a metal handle
and was sharp at the end, and Jabbed
It Into her neck. That Is what made
the hole there. I M n it use a revolver.
' "Then I wrapped her up In a rug,
thrust her body Into a clo-rt and locker
the door. I kept It there two days, an l
did not know whit to do with It. I told
the children tha't their mother had run
way. We had three children two
boys by my first wife and 3-year-old
t Irl by this one.
I "The second night I took up a cleat
tcross the closet door, sawed the floor
nnd purhed her body under the. house,
tho ground was frozen. A Joist pre
teKied tho body from slitting right, so
t got ft rope, tied her hands together,
got under the house myself and dragged
ttie corpse six feet away from the hide
III the floor. Then I nailed the clent
down again over tho saw marks, so
they could not bo deteoted from the In
side. The next morning I sent the chll-ib-pn
to my brother-in-law, a man
named Marker, w'ho was gate tender In
tie Detroit depot. I put them In care
0 the conductor.
"The next day, which was Hnturday,
1 (went to Detroit, myself, and have not
hvn tm Toledo since. I told relatives In
Detroit that Utile had desertod me, nnd
thkt I had broken up housekeeping. To
others I told different stories, and an
tlnte wore on I began to feel safe. A
ye si ago I moved to St. Ivuls, where I
tia been since. The woman you saw
at rny house In Orand avenue Is my
niece."

plant, lu the rear of the big Newberry
library. The englm-er and II reman

If the explosion had occurred when
the big double doors of th-j holler room

ing the week that Corliett and Fitz
slmmons decide their match, Is now

mental In bringing Corbet t nnd Fitz-sim-mons
together, has been working
hard reonntly to bring Pllmmer nnd
the little colored champion to nn ngree
nicnt regarding the weight at which
they shall light. The boys have been
a..:xlous for i-oine years to meet in the

fight at ll'i pounds, while Dixon has
ci intended that the fighting weight
should he at lis pounds.

mantcr of the order spoke in the opera
house, lie criticised the recent action
of the American Hallway union, which
was responsible for so many sympa
thetic strikes. He paid striking em
ployes want money not sympathy. He
would take recourse to strikes reluct
antly only as a last resort and then he
would continue them to the branch
and locality where the grievance ex
isted. He said sympathetic strikes
were responsible for endless misery,
hardship nnd suffering which would be
obviated by keeping at work those
members of th. llrotherhood not Imme
diately Interested.
