, GIRL IS 1118 PROPERTY.
Arabian Trying to Obtain Cirl lie
Brought to This Country. .
An Arabian peddler, calling himself
(Mike Sullivan, came to this country
eight months ago, having In Ms com
pany, a 10-year-old girl whom he Im
pressed Into his business of hawking
trinkets from house to house. They
traveled about from one place to an
other, ami live weeks ago reached
Athens, in Bradford county, where the
little girl suddenly disappeared.
The peddler, with his brother, sought
everywhere for his charge, but could
not solve the mystery of her disap
pearance, until a few days ago, when
the girl was located In the Bradford
county almshouse at Towanda.
Straightway the Arabian hastened to
reclaim the girl, but to his utter dis
appointment the poor authorities re
fused to give her up, believing that It
was not for the girl's good to allow
her to o wandering about the country
with Arabian peddlers and alleging
that the claimant had no right to the
child, as she was no relative and had
never foeen Indentured to him.
Then t'.ie Arabian made an emphatlo
demand for the person of the girl, as
serting bol'fly that he brought her to
this country from Arabia with the con
sent of her mother, who turned the
child over to him. The girl, however,
did not want to go back to Sullivan
and begged the almshouse superintend
ent not to send her away.
The swarthy nomad could not be
made to understand that he lost his
Interest In the girl's person when he
reached Ellis Island, but he was con
vinced beyond doubt that he would not
regain possession of the girl, except
through due process of law.
Yesterday Sullivan was at work In
this city trying: to ascertain what
steps could be taken to recover posses
sion of the girl.

OFFICER EU 'nilSDER
Notorious Judd Wotcott - Accused f
the Crime by Bill Keat.
TELLS A TLAUSIBLC STORY
Woleott Boarded with Him at Time and
Durntd Revolver in His Stove-Can
Produoe Two Other Witnesses to
Whom Wolaott Confessed Crime.
On a Sunday evening In the December
of 1888 Police Officer John Ellis was
shot and killed at the water tank on
the Keyser Valley branch of the Dela
ware. Lackawanna and Western road.
Four men. supposed to be tramps, had
taken possession of the tank and the
watchman. Michael Brown, unable to
make them vacate, sent to the est
Side police station for assistance. John
Davis, now police lieutenant; Thomas
V. Lewis and John Ellis, were detailed
to capture the gang and went thither
never suspecting that resistance would
be orrered.
As the police were about to gain en
trance to the tank the quartette Inside
made a bold dash for liberty. One of
them, who was first to rush forth,
fired two shots Into the body of Officer
Ellis. An exchange or shots took place
but all four escaped. Although bltr re
wards have been offered and the best
detective talent In the country engaged
on the case no one has ever been openly
charged with the crime until yesterday,
when Bill Kent, the ex-burglar, coun
terfeiter and general all-around crlnv
Inal, accused his old pal, the notorious
Judd Woleott. of being the murderer.
Kent, as announced In yesterday's
Issue, was arrested Wednesday for
passing counterfeit money. He Is 88
years of age and has served three terms
In the penitentiary. He served three
years In the Eastern penitentiary for
arson, did eighteen months In the West
ern penitentiary for counterfeiting and
on Aug. 2 last was released from the
Eastern penitentiary after serving
four years, minus nine months, on ac
count of good behavior, for complicity
in the burglarizing -of 'Rev. .William
Edgar's residence, in Dunmore.
Fastened tho Crime on Kont.
Kent. Judd Woleott and Paddy Dev
ers, who was killed In the Baldwin Lo
comotive works four years ago. were
suspected of the burglary. Woleott be
came a stool pigeon, for the detectives
and fastened the crime on Kent. It af
terwards developed . that the burglars
hid their swag In an old deserted mine
and that Woleott stole It from the hid
ing place and hid It In a culm pile In
Dunmore, where It was afterward dis
covered by Chief Simpson.
Kent was a shoemaker by trade, and
kept a shop In Dunmore near the cor
ners. His place was the rendezvous for
these and other bad men, and was the
scene of the concoction of many a bold
and daring criminal plot. Woleott was
the worst of the trio. It was believed,
and later events establish that this
belief was about correct. Kent worked
every day and was apparently an hon
est, Industrious citizen, and, in fact, no
crime except that of harboring Wol
eott, was ever fastened upon him. ex
cept on the evidence of this same Wol
eott. Kent, as may be readily believed,
knew of the doings of his pal. Woleott.
This, Kent now says, was what sent
him to the penitentiary the last time.
Woleott and he had a disagreement,
and It was through fear of disclosure
that Woleott swore him Into prison so
that he might fee out of the way, and
his testimony, if he was tempted to
make a disclosure, might be discredit
able. It is a significant fact that on
July 25 last, eight days previous to
Kent's 'release from the penitentiary,
Woleott disappeared from Dunmore
and has not been seen since.
He Told Chief Simpson About It.
The startling disclosure of the Ellis
mystery was made by Kent to Chief of
Police Simpson yesterday morning, and
later in the day he detailed the whole
story to a Tribune reporter, but at the
time he did not know that he was talk
ing for publication.
On the morning following; the Ellis
murder Woleott came to the shop,
greatly excited and said to Kent, "For
God's sake keep this date In your mind,
and If you are ever asked about It
swear that I slept with you all night,
and was home all afternoon." Kent
asked him what the trouble was, and
at first he refused to tell, but Anally
confided to him that he had shot a
poyceman. He said that he and three
other men went to Hyde Park to "tap"
a place, and wishing to come In. by the
back way, went around from Dunmore
to Providence and then down Keyser
Valley. At the tank they went In to
hide and keep warm until nightfall,
when they Intended to steal up through
the fields to, the place which they were
going; to rob. Kent did not inquire
what place they had in mind. The po
lice swooped down on them, and they
had to use their revolvers to get out.
Woleott said he hit one. of the cops,
but did not know whpther or not ho
killed him. Woleott then took a re
volver from his pocket removed the
shells, three of which were loaded and
two discharged, and, stirring up the
coals In the stove, shoved the revolver
In.
Kent says the revolver had a red
wood handle, on which the name "J.
Price" was cut In large letters. He did
not know who J. Price might be.
When the fire had totally dlsflgnred
the revolver, Woleott picked It out of
the stove with a poker, immersed It In
the bucket of water, which the cobbler
used to moisten leather, and, after It
cooled sufficiently to be handled, took
It up and started out saying he would
"put It where Jesus Christ Himself
would not find It.", He Was gone about
three-quarters of an hour, and upon
his return went to bed..
Wolcntt's Midnight Vlst.
A spell after this, as he put It, Kent
gave up his shop, and went to live In
the country just beyond Dunnlngs,
boarding with Mr. and Mrs. Joslah
Martin. One night about 12 o'clock
Woleott came there and asked for him.
Mrs. Martin, who was sleeping on the
ground floor, admitted him aflter arous
ing Kent and her husband. The hus
band did not get up. but Kent went
downstairs to see what the trouble was.
The two men sat down- In the- front
room, and when Mrs. Martin withdrew
Woleott told Kent that the police .were
after him for the burning of Savage's
building In Dunmore; he had come out
Into the country at night, believing- he
would not be seen, to ask Kent to help
him establish an alibi.
The fire 'In Savage's building oc
curred while Woleott and Kent were
staying In the shop In Dunmore. Kent
commenced to murmur against being
drawn Into alt of Wolcott'a crimes and
a long Interview occurred, during which
the murder and other .matters were dis
cussed. After getting Kent's word that
he would stick to him, and agreeing
upon a story to tell .In ease of arrest,
Woleott drove away and got back- to
Dunmore before daylight.
(Mrs. Martin, like any ordinary wo
man, was curious to know what busi
ness could bring a man to the 'house at
that unseasonable hour1, and during the
conversation In the front room she
was posted at the door leading to the
hallway which separated the front
room and her bedroom. Although they
spoke in guarded tones, she heard all
that was said, and the next morning
she told Kent that she knew the Sav
ages In Dunmore, and she was going' to
tell wno set nre to ineir ouuaing.
Kent asked her If she had heard
anything else and she said: "I know
what I neara. ana i Know what I am
going to tell." The woman told 'iSquIre
Letchworth of the Incendiarism, but not
of the murder; why, Kent could not ex
plain. It ' was over the woman that
Kent and Woleott jiad the quarrel
' She will now testify, Kent affirms,
that she, heard Woleott confess to the
murder of Officer Ellis. He says fur
ther that there is another man to whom
Woleott confessed, and who is ready to
testify. He refused to give this third
party name.
The Present Charge Against Kent.
lAs to the present charge against
Kent, nothing new has developed. AI
derman (Millar gave him a hearing yes
terday morning and remanded him to
the care of the federal authorities. 'He
will be given a hearing today by Com
missioner Colborn.
He says he received the counterfeit
money from a man named Buckley,
who gave him the coin In exchange for
bills, saying he wanted to mall some
money to his daughter.
COAL PRICES GO UPWARD.
Another Jump In the Selling Prices of
Dlaok Diamonds.
Anthracite coal prices, which were
advanced only a day or two ago, were
raised still higher yesterday at Phila
delphla; that Is, for two slaes. Broken
was elevated from S3.35 to $u.rft per ton
and chestnut from $X40 to $3.00. The
explanation of this supplementary rise
as given by a leading operator is that
"broken and nut were lower than they
should have .been. But, so far as the
supply is concerned," he added, "they
may as well have been advanced $5 a
ton.
"They are not to 'be had not a pound

solely occupied by that class, either.
There was a surfeit of ballet and an
abundance of specialties.
The efforts of James 'Marbu In this
line were truly wonderful. Miss Made
line Marshall's singing of popular airs
was a pleasing and frequent feature be
tween the scenes. The ballet of uonu
lar airs Included the following: The
Spanish serenaders, musical dolls, the
wainaiia spiders and quadrille a la
Trilby, all or which were well received.
The latter was encored several times
Thpre were other specialties, all wor

Bright scenery and all the appliances
required to give good scenic effect were
brought Into play In the weird incan

There are some of these in each of

REGARDING li COADJUTOR
Kev. M. J. Hoban, of Ashley, Is
Prominently Mentioned.
HE ' IS NAMED MOST WORTHY
The Holy Father Is Likely Soon to An-
nounce I'pon Whom Pallium Will
Be Conferred Father Finnen
Did Not Want the Honor.
Announcement is now dally expected
from Rome regarding the appointment
of a coadjutor to Rt. 'Rev. Bishop
O'Hara. Many Of the clergy believe
that Rev. M. J. Hoban, pastor of the
Ashley parish, Luzerne county, will be
the one upon whose shoulders the pal
lium will be placed by the holy father,
Leo XIII.
Father Hoban graduated from the
Propaganda college, at 'Rome, and one
of his preceptors was the papal able
gate, Archbishop Francis Satolll, of
Washington. The young priest was
known for his piety and learning, and
attracted attention by his unostenta
tious ability. Inasmuch as he Is the
one named as most worthy of the three
priests whose names have been ap
pointed for the coadjutorshlp, It Is re
garded as assured that tho honor will
come to him.
Very Rev. John Finnen, of Plttston,
vicar general of the diocese, was se
lected as most worthy by the priests at
the meeting held in this city, lie told
them he did not desire preferment, but
they insisted that his name should head
the list of candidates for coadjutor.
The other two candidates chosen were
Father Hoban, of Ashley, and Father
Garvey, of Wllllamsport. Father Fin
nen was resolute In his desire not to
have his nnmo go to 'Rome, and he ad
dressed a letter to Archbishop Ryan,
which was read at the meeting of the
bishops of the state In 'Philadelphia
when they passed upon the names of
candidates for the coadjutorshlp.
Reasons Were Sufficient.
The Teasons were considered suffi
cient and his name was dropped from
the list, and that of Father Hoban
raised to the dignity of most worthy,
the name of Father Coffey, of Car
bondale, being added to fill tip the
quota. An editorial on the subject,
which will appear In today's locesan
Record, is as follows:
"The names of the priests, one of
whom will be selected as coadjutor of
our bishop, have been submitted to
Rome and are 'Rev. M. J. Hoban, of
Ashley, Very Kev. IE. A. Harvey, W. F.,
of Wllllamsport, and Rev. T. F. Coffey,
of Carbondale. Very Rev. John Fin
nen, V. Q., of IPIttston, was chosen by
the prleats to head their list, but, as
he dpelined the honor unanimously ten
dered him, the archbishop and bishops
selected Father Coffey to complete the
list, as he had received the highest

should pray to the Holy Ghost to en
lighten the appointing power to select
for us a bishop who will govern us and
administer the spiritual and temporal
affairs of the diocese, when these bur
dens shall be entrusted to him, to the
greater glory of God and to the edifi
cation and sanctiflcatlnn of souls."
