Former Declares tbe Latter Held Murdered Man's Hand While He Billed Hia Pockets. SHEETS GOT MOST OF THE "SWAG." Notwithstanding the fact that Harry Weller and Milton Sheets have with ap parent frankness confessed that they alone murdered Augustus Glessner, and have made public all the gruesome details of the horrible tragedy, there are still aoma persons who are disposed to believe that the true story will not come out ontil it is told on tbe witness stand, when they profess to believe that at leaet one, Sf not two, other men will be implicated In tho crimo. After relieving their miud-i last Tues day nifc-ht, Weller and Sheets rested qui etly ontii Wednesday morning, when each again recited his version of tbe Glessner murder to various persons, sev eral of whom were sent to the jail for the express purpose of bearing the prisoners' statements in order that any incriminat ing admissions they might make may be used against them In court. Sheets' last statement differs somewhat from the con fession wrung from him by detective Eagan, and in view of what he now s iyu he is placed in a more favorable light thn previously. Sheets insists that Weller first suggest ed robbing Glessner, bnt now admits that they went to Ream's livery stable, where he hoped to find a piece cf rubber hose, and, failing to find it, he picked up sn empty whisky bottle, which he later threw away. He says that Glessner had a staff in his baud, evidently tbe paling removed from the Bru baker fence, which it was thought at first was the instrument which caused Glessner's death, and that a.ter be bad struck their victim, the blow only knocking him onto his knees, Wel ler held one of his hands while he (Sheets) rifled his pockets, finding a pocket book containing a two-dollar note, a silver dollar and two silver half dollars ; subsequently he threw the pocketbook away and divided the money with Wel ler. Sheets declares that he struck Gless ner only once, and claims not to know whether he dropped the club or threw it away. Sheets left Somerset for Eerlin at eight o'clock on the night of tbe murder, ar riving there about two hours later. He did not go to the home of his parents, but to Diveley's restaurant, where be met Weller, which gives some color to his claim that Weller knew about Glessner's having money, aud was first to suggest robbing him. A material point which now seems to be cleared up relates to Glessner's mjney. When Glessner paid his bill at Diveley's restaurant he first tendered ten -dollar note, and upon being asked if he had no smaller change handed the restaurant man a five-dollar bill, from which tbe amount of bis purchase, foriy cents, was taken. Diveley says that Glessner had several other bills in his pocket book at the time. Glessner spent no more money that night, but the ten-dollar note is said to have been traenri by Detective Eagan to Kufus I lveley arrested for Glessner's murder who is alleged to have spent it at a bar in Rock wood. After Weller and Sheets had confessed, the news was conveyed to Rufus Diveley and Alexander Gerhart, who were in jail charged with the murder, when both were overcome with joy. Diveley, it ia claimed, admitted to Eagan that he had taken the ten dollar note in question from Sheets in a game of poker played on the Sunday afternoon fallowing the tragedy. Diveley is said to have admmttted also that he won twoold one-dollar notes from Sheets at the same time. Accepting Dive ley's admissions as to how he came into possess ion of the money as being correct, it will be readily seen upon what strong grounds the detective caused his arrest for tbe Glessner murder. Sheets' father and two brothers came here Friday morning. The boys held an interview with their brother in tbe jail, but the father said that heoould cot stand tbe ordeal of seeing him at that time. Later they consulted attorneys with a view to employing them to look after tbe case. The Wellers have not yet engaged lawyers to look after the Interests of their son, and it ia said that when Mr. Weller was asked if he proposed doing anything in behalf of his boy, he replied that he ''would have to let the matter with the Lord." Yonng Weller does not appear to real ize the awful position he has been placed in by his confession. It is thought that be led himself to believe that if hs made a full confession, placing tbe responsibil ity of Glessner's murder on Sheets, he would be allowed to remain at liberty. He does not, however, seem to mind be ing confined in Jail, where he spends hia time smoking cigarettes and reading. Prior to his arrest he worked with hia father in a coal mine, and from remarks that both be and his father let drop it seems probable that his parents enter tained at least a grave suspicion that be was oonnected with the murder several days before he confessed. Weller say that when news came that Glessner was dtad, his mother noticed that be turned pale, while bis father is reported to have made the remark that he believed "Harry bal something to do with it," when dis cussing tbe murder with some of his fel low workmen. Sheets has had little to say since he was placed in jaiL He is not permitted to see any persons except the jail officials and hia relatives. It is reported that he was very nervous and down-hearted np notil the time his brothers visited him ; since hen ho has been in a more cheerful frame of mind. The people of Berlin and vicinity have 1 okel upon tbe two boya as being reck less and wild, but none who were ac quainted with them ever dreamed that either Sheets or Weller would commit m irder. Both are sons of christian moth ers, whose daily prayers have been that th-y might be kept in tbe "straight and narrow path." Tneir fathers are hard working men, both miners, who enjoy the respect and esteem of all who know them. Waller's parents did not learn of bis ar rest until be was brought to jail, when it is said that his mother wasaooveroome by the shock that it is feared the will not recover. Mrs. sneete is also reponeu iu be in a critical condition owing to the eouduct of her sou. MOW WELLES CAM TO OOSFKSS. Welter's confession seems to have been a case of "murder will out," although there are those who think that he was in duced to oonfesa by the hope that he would escape punishment. However that may be, the murder was the sole topic of conversation in and around Berlia from the time that Glessner'a tdy was round. With tbe kuowledge of guilt in hi heart, Weller felt that every person he met looked at him in a wanner that seemed to say, -You killed Glessner." Finally, on tbe night preceding bis arrest, when Weller beard a number of his compan ions discussing tbe tragedy, be Mruptlj remarked: "Well. Gerhart don't know any thing about the marder, and neither does Diveley." Upon being pressed by Rmedy" Matthew f-r an explanation beaaid: "I know who killed Glessner. out I only weut as far as th lrn." Matthews imparted this information to Constable Km in. who eomniuniealed it to DjUx-Uvs Eagan. when it was decided to in' ere 4 Rfie Marsh ill in the ease. Marshall tnet Weller soon afterwards, when, to hia amazement. Weller old him all about the ghastly crime. Marshall was loth at first to believe bis ears, but when Weller insisted opoa his going with him to tbe scene of tbe tragedy, w here be recovered the stick of wood that bad been awed to beat tbe murdered mac. and the whisky bottle, and pointed wit where he had walted-237 yards from where Glessner's body was found an HI Bheetii returned, he was forced to accept Weller'a statement. Following is substantially the confes sion made by Weller to Reade Marshall On the Saturday night that Gust Gless ner was muraered, after 1 lews tier bad started for home. Milton Sluwia &if, me to g,-, ,i,)ng up the alley between the V.H.U ui riasru IHlliamgH. After we reached lleaiu'a livery stable. Sheeu said to uie: "Go along and 111 take old Gusts money." He tben reached into shed of the stable and took out a round, ZT' whwky bottle, and carrying it with him we went across the tennis ground, out that street to tbe cemetery, and down the street to Long'a. and from there out the ruad after Glenaner. n the road I started to baug back aud did not want to go, but Sheets would grab bold of me aud say, "Come on, you babv; I'm df.icgit,notyon." At George Bru baker's baru we came in sight of Glessner and followed him from there to JacobSwarts endruber'a, where I told Sheets that he shouldn't hit Glessner with tbe bottle or be would kill bim. lie then gave me the bottle, and going to a woodpile at 8 w.jtend ruber's shop picked up a clan, saying, "This is pretty light to soak bim with." I then threw the bottle away and we went on to tbe woods. I still hung back, out Milt would say, "It aiu't you that's doing 1L" After w e had gone into the woods a abort distance I stopped and would not go any further. Sheeu then went on and Glessner turned onoe and looked back. Milt dropping down so as not to be seen. From that time on I did not see them. In a short time Sheets came running ta k w ith a purse in his hand. He gave me a silver dollar and two halves. We ran up tbe road towards town to the fild beyond Simon Miller's. There we crossed the fence and by a roundabout course returned to town. We parted at A. C Kioto's corner and went to our hemes. Tbe next day. when I heard that Gless ner was dead. I could bardiy keep from breaking down. 1 went and told Milt about it, but he just laughed and didn't seem to care much. From that time on I have been very much troubled and could hardly rest. Tbe strain was too much for me aud I bad to tell. PO'-KKTROOK STILL M1HSISO. All effort to find Gleet-ner'a pocket book have proved unavailing. Tbe club nsed to beat the murdered man ia now ia the possession of 1 leads Marshall. It ia a piece of oak 2 foot long, 2 inches wide by I Inches thsick. It is said to contain blood stains. It was taken from Jacob Swartendrnber's yard, where it had been nsed as a support for raspberry bushes. okrhart released. Tbe confession of Weller and Sheets having clearly established the innocence of Alexander Gerhart and Rufus Dive ley, tbe former demanded a habeas cor pus hearing, which was held Friday afternoon, when be was discharged by order of the court. He was immedi ately placed under arrest by an officer from South Fork, Cambria county, on a warrant charging him with assault and battery. The Cambria county officer left with his prisoner on tbe evening train. Rufus Diveley was taken before the court on a writ of habeas corpus yester day afternoon, when the District Attor ney agreed that he should be discharged on the charge of murder, but asked that bail be fixed on a charge against the de fendant for highway robbery, which was placed at f 1.000. Diveley was aent back to jail in default of bail. Juror For December Term.

JUST ESCAPED THE GALLOWS. Two Innocent Men WTio Might' Have Been Hinged on Circum stantial Evidence. DETECTIVE EA.GAN THE STORY". TELLS The chagrin and disappointment of de tective James W. Eagan can be beUer imagined than described whon he learn ed that all hi efforts to apprehend the murderer of Augustus Glessner had coma to naught, and that one of the guilty men had made a confession to a disin terested party, and had begged that the detective thonld not be permitted to con duct him to jaiL In justice to detective Eagan It should be stated, however, that he worked dili gently on the case, and was so close on the trail of the guilty parties that the voluntary confession of Weller and th forced confession of Sheets, were both dae to his efforts, and to the valuable aid rendered him by High Constable Irvin Ream, of Berlin. Ream was untiring in hia endeavors to discover the murderers and hia intimate knowledge of the habit of tbe men suspected of the crime and bia intelligent work in conjunction with Eagan' Is perhaps after all, responsible for the fact that two innocent men were saved from long penitentiary sentence or the hangman' noose. After bearing Weller' voluntary con fession of the part he bad taken in the murder of Augustus Glessner, and subse quently persuading Milton Sheets to ad mit that be too had participated In the crime, detective Eagan, who np to that time was firmly convinced that he had previously caused the arrest of Glessner's inurdorers and had secured sufficient damaging evidence to convict the accused parties, solemnly declared : "I will never attempt to convict a man on cir cumstantial evidence again as long as I live." Then the sleuth told a Pittsburg newspaper reporter the interesting ttory below, which, through the merest acci dental slip of the tongue, saved two, and psasibly three innocent men from pun ishment and brought to light the real guilty parties : F:rst by way of introduction, I wish to state that the evidence against the in nocent parties was the strongest circum stantial kind and I myself believed they were the right parties, and I feel confi dent that any judge or jury would have agreed with me. I have known men to hang on far less cinvinciug circumstan- t al evidence. The facts are these : "About three weeks ago I was employ ed by the officials of Somerset county at the instigation of District Attorney Rufus E. Meyers, through Superintendent of Datectivea Roger O'Mara, of PitUburg, to traoe, if possible, the slayer or slayers of Gus Glessner. who was murdered on Sunday morning, October 22, . shortly after midnight. I started to work on the case on Tuesday afternoon, October 24, two days after the murder. I called on a number of the best-known citizens of Berlin, whom the District Attorney in formed me could be relied upon for all information regarding people of a ques tionable character and I allowed the peo ple with whom I came Into contact to bslieve that I had come to Berlin for the pirpose of investing in coal lands. To mike things doubly ceitain, however, I . m ade the gentlemen whom the District Attorney had referred me to believe that I was a Notary i nblic and submitted them to the necessity of being sworn to everything they said to uie. These peo ple, of course, knew that I wa a detect ive, and I did not propose taking any chances with them, for people in tbe country sometimes do more talking than city folks. The first person I went to see was Charles Glessner, a nephew of the mur dered man. Us told me be was oomlng home early Sunday morning, after pay ing a vUit to his sweetheart, and noticed somebody lying at the side of the road about a mile and a quarter from Berlin, and a quartet of a mile fr j:n hi father bouse. H did not stop at the time. thinking the man was drunk, and drove home and called his father' attention to his discovery. Father and son went to the place after daybreak and found Glen -fr eer lying there. Finding life still In the body they hurriedly conveyed it home. Dr. W. R. Shaw was aummoued from Berlin and after examining the injured man found bruise on his nose, another mark below his mjuth on his chin, slight bruises above and below his right eye and a bruise on the frontal bone just above tbe hair line. In addition the physician discovered a very ngly bruise on top of thb head as if made by some blunt inattmnt. Tbe dxor did not arrive until abvut 9 o'clock Sunday morn ing and after two hours hard work his patient seemed somewhat better. How ever, he never regained consciousness and death came between 12 and 1 o'clock. Dr. Shaw held a post mortem on tbe re mains at tbe dead man's former home in Allegheny township the following day. At the inquest the skull was opened and a contusion was found ju-it abive tbe rontal bone and an Jthar near the top of th brain. "When Glassner'a body was discovered by relative it was noticed that there were fonr or five large handmarks in the road way and in two or three places the dirt wa strewn about as though te victim bad mads a desperate attempt to regain bia feet. Tbe victim was lying on tbe broad of bia back in the gutter. On the other aid of the road several tobies ware stren about, also a ten-cent piece and a panU button which had been torn from tbe victim'a clothing. There was every evidence indicating that quite a struggle had taken place prior to tbe fall of Gless ner, as few feet to bis left lay a piece of pine fencing spattered with blood. MI ascertained that the murdered man healthy, atroug and oapable of down ing any two ordinary men in a fitic en counter. He wa a stone-mason by trade aid stood over 6 feet aod would weigh in the neighborhood of 200 pounds. I found that when bia pocket were searched after ha had been removed from th roadway there wa no money found in them. The watch, which he usually carried in bis rest pocket was found, so I was told. In oie of tbe hip pocket of hie pant. Hia clothing was, of course, covered with dust and dirt and bis mustache was clotted with blood. It was bard to get a clew to who the murderer or murderer were. Glessner was the father of ten children and owned a well-cultivated farm of 65 acre a abort distance from Berlin. "I learned that on the Saturday morn tug of tba marder J. B. Mognet, of Mey ersdale, paid Glessner and West StulL who had been working on stone founda tions for a barn, i3 between them, the money being evenly divided, the murder ed man receiving a $10 National bank note, a f I bill and a silver half dollar. Glessner, after receiving Lis money, went to a shoa store in Meyersdale and pur chased a pair of gum boot, paying for them $3.50, tendering the clerk the $10 bilL Then he went to Garrett and receiv ed from Postmaster W. t Brant three $10 bill, a $5 bill, two badly worn $1 bill. SOJta. In silver. 2a. In sliver, and a 5-cent Dleci. I learned from Postmaster Brant that be noticed that one of the $10 bills was a new National bank note on tha bank of Kittanning and that it was nither of th 'B or 'R series, and th numbers oa tha bill were 70, ii! and 5. 374, and be told tn that th reason ha mad the no las on the bill' construction wa because It was a new on and he wished to secure It if U aver cam Into hi possession again. "After receiving tba $37.80 I ascertain ed that Gla anar and Stull want to Berlin, stooped at th Manaion house and par chased a eoucl of gla of beer, after which they walked at to the barn in tha rear of th hotel. G lesaner polled out hi money and showed It freely. In tbe burn at the t'.oie were the hostler. Rax Ger hart, Pete Diveley and a man named Dudge Philson. The hostler told me he warned the miirdsre-l mm to put his money away, giving Glessner a piece of paper and making him wrap th bilU np. From tbe barn GUmner went to ah rd- ware store an 1 paid out two of tbe $10 bills on a stove; thin be went Into a j saloon and purchased a couple glaw of beer. From that time on bo wandsred around to various places in the little town and about 10 o'clock in the evening he wound up in a restaurant aod pur chased an oyster tew. In payment there of he tendered a $10 bill, but the restau rant proprietor asked him If he did not have smaller change and Glessner then offered him a $5 bill. AfW paying hi bill be went outside but came back In a little while aod purchased 10 cent worth of cheese and 10 cents worth of crackera. For the oyster atew he paid 20 cent and from th $5 bill he bai $1 00 left. At the time Glessner paid hi bill in the restaur ant the proprietor noticed that hi cus tomer had besides the $19 bill be had offered for payment first and besides the $3 bill another $3 note and several other bills, but no small change. I determin ed that tba 10 cent piece found in the road way must have been the one given as part change for the $5 bill because the restaurant man told me he gave him back a 50-cent piece and a 10-cent piece. From the restaurant Glessner went across the way to a place where he left bis tools, but the man had gone to bed and Glessner started out tbe country road towards home without tham. Nothing more was aeen or heard of Glessner until the next morning when he was found by hia rela tives. "At the time the murdered man was In the barn of the Mansion house and the hostler told him to put his money away I ascertained from the latter that the three men Gerhart Diveley and Philson men bearing anything but good reputations in and about Berlin and furthermore that they very seldom work ed. I also ascertained that one of them had been charged with being mixed np In several highway robberias in the neigh borhood. People in the little hamlet were afraid of them and ao I determined to watch them closely. The day I ar rived I found that Diveley had been spending money freely in saloons at Berl i n, al t hou g h on the Satu rday pre v lou s and the day on which Glessner was mur dered he and the other two men had no money. Late on Tuesday afternoon one of the resident overheard Dively aay to Gerhart, 'What would my wife do If she knew this V Then Diveley shook hand with a barkeeper and told him he was go ing to ML Pleasant. The pair started for the train and at the depot Diveley again aaid he was going to ML PleasanL This time he told it to Gerhart and added. 'If that little fellow cornea back you knock his head off.' This latter conversation was overheard by a hack man who was standing unobserved by the side of his hack, which is used for conveying people to and from trains and hotels In tbe little town. "About &30 o'clock on Tuesday even ing while Mrs. Levi Lease was sitting in front of her door along came Gerhart and Philson. She knew them both and having heard of the murder and know ing thatsuspicion was directed towards them, she became frightened and went into the house. Tbe window was open. however, and the two men not observing her, sat down on the steps of a church about 25 feet adjacent aud Mrs. Leese says she heard Gerhart says to Philson, I'm going away. I know everybody thinks I did the job.' Tbe reply from Philson, according to Mrs. Leese, was, If you go away now they will think we did it; you stay here aod everything will be all righL Gerhart is then reported to have said to Philson: 'If you hadn't coaxed me, everything would have been all riirht now.' Philson is charged with using an oath and telling his companion that be was 'easily coaxed.' Gerhart is said to have replied to Philson, oslug a strong oath to qualify the sentence: 'If you bad done as I wanted you to and turned back at the barn the big Dutch man would be all right now.' M told me that both men were greatly ex cited and very much under the influence of liquor and that they were talking in a 1 ud tone of voice, which made it possi ble for her to hear everything they aaid very distinctly. "On Monday and Tuesday following the murder bartender Charlie Smith, at tbe Falknor hotel, came to me and told me that Gerhart had told him several timas that everybody in town suspected him of having killed 01d Gus' and that the man had a good notion of leaving town. From that evidence and other re marks alleged to have been made by the man I concluded to place him under ar rest and charge him with the murder of Glessner. After tbe arrest I found out that he was implicated in robbing a drunken man, and that he was also wanted in Clearfield county on a charge of felonious assault and battery. I knew I could surely hold bim on those charges. I went to R)ckwood on Thursday, where I found that Diveley was spending money very freely and had a talk with tbe proprietor of the Buckman hotel, who told me that Diveley came there on Tuesday and threw down on his bar four silver dollars and three quarters. The proprietor told me be asked Diveley where he made the raise, because he never saw the man with so much tnmey before. The hotel man aaid that in reply to hi questions Diveley pulled out a $1) bill and other bills aod one of the bill the proprietor said be notice 1 was a new $10 National bank note. When Diveley was arrested be bad no money in bis pos session. He had, however, been spend ing money about town very feely. The new $10 bill which Glessner was sup posed to have been robbed of I found at a saloon and it had been spent by Diveley. I visited Diveley in Jail tbe following Sunday and he denied that he had left Berlin on Tuesday with more than ft. Ha denie 1 positively throwing the money on the bar, as slated by the saloonkeeper, or passing the new $10 bill. These state ments I found to be false. "Charles Frits, who resides in tbe same house with Philson, who ia a married man and witn wnom uernan rjoarueu. told ma that on Wednesday following the murder Mrs. Philson ran into where Mrs. Frits was washing and put a shirt of Gerbart'a into tbe wash tub. He told me that hia wife noticed blood on the cuff and spot of blood on the sleeves. Mr. Frits says that she asked Mrs. Philson what the blood was doing on tbe shirt. and was put off with the reply that aha had placed it there herself and that Ger hart knew nothing about it. She knew the shirt well and ahe aaid she had seen Gerhart wearing it freqtently. Mrs. Fritz told me that ahe had overheard a conversation between tbe Philsons on tbe same day, during which she said Philson brought bis band down on the table and said : 'III be if I swear to lie to save Gerhart or anybody else ; not even if it was my own brother.' The same day Pbilaon'a little daughter told Mrs. Frits that ahe bad heard Gerhart remark that be was going to commit sui cide. He Is reported to have kissed them all good-bye and told them that they would never see him alive again. -I may state bere that I never placed Philson nnder arrest because I hoped by not doing ao to get him to give ma some valuable evidence against the other two men, and tben I determined to lock him no. At this stage in tbe affair the fact had been tipped off aomewhere that was no coal land buyer, but a detective from Pittsburg, and after Gerhart and Diveley were locked up a young man by tbe name of Matthews I ascertained waa at tliriee a companion of tbe men behind tbe bare. I also learned that he waa very much ia fear of being arrested himself. I investigated hi character and found it to be, on the whole, good. Juat why be should be afraid of ma I waa at a loaa to understand, ao I determined to call upon him at the pulley worka, where ba la employed. Th young man told ma that A n Baking Powder Made from pure cream of tarter. Safeguards the food against aluiru Alum fcalds; powders arc fftfgres'aat menaemto health ol tba present day. aonn smoim oesea, sew !. he knew absolutely nothing a boot any murder, and that be merely played poker with the men occasionally. After I had returned to my hotel Matthew called upon me and told me that imme diately after I bad left a nian banned Harry Weller came to bim and told bim not to be afraid; that the detective did not have the right men nnder arrest, after all ; that he Weller knew all about the murder. Matthews told me that Weller told him that be went out with tbe men who committed the crime aa far as th barn and then turned back, having weakened. After receiving this Informa tion I went out In search of Weller, and was introduced to a young man named Marshall, who claimed hat if I left It to him he could get a confession out of Wel ler, which he succeeded In doing. I next learned that Weiler implicated Milton Sheets, and telephoned .over to Somerset to Sheriff Hartzell to place Sheets nnder arrest. 'I Interviewed Sheets in jail in Somer set and he admitted the whole thing. Both men claim!, however, that they only got $t Sheets, however, I ascer tained afterwards, had been playing a hold-out" game on his partner in crime and retained the greater part of the money. Tbe watch they left on the per son of Glessner after the robbery to throw off suspicion. "The two men in jail denied positively that Gerhart, Diveley or Philson had anything to do with tbe murder, yet I wa at a loss to understand where Dive ley had obtained the murdered man'a money. However, aner uernan ana Diveley ascertained that Weller and Sheets had confessed to killing Glessner, they told me that, together with Philson, tbe five had played poker on Sunday afternoon and that Diveley had won all the money in the crowd, receiving in payment from Sheets a new $10 bill and tbe two worn paper $1 bills. This settled tbe matter so far as the money w as con cerned, but I was still at a loss to under stand tbe reported conversations I had ird of between tbe men. I found out that the one which Mrs. Leese overheard was in relation to a poker game which had been played on the same night of tbe murder, in a barn, and In which three prominent merchants, all Germans, bad figured, and one of them was an excep tionally tall man. I ascertained that at first tbe merchants had lost and then von. The prisoners had been com men t ng on the fact that had they let the visi tors go when they were ahead it would have been better. Gerhart, I found out, knew that I had him pretty well to rights in a number of hold-ups, and he waa considerably down in luck because he thought everybody had bim picked out as the murderer of Glessuer, and this was probably his reason for threatening to commit suicide, but I do not think for a moment that he ever meant to do any thing of the kind. The blood on his shirt was explained away later by tbe little Philson girl, who stated that she bad rubbed her nose, while bleeding, on tbe cuff and sleeve. "In any event, concluded Detective Eagan. "I am one officer of the law who will never attempt to convict a man again on circumstantial evidence, as long aa I live." Detective Eagan was a member of tbe Pittsburg police department for IS years and served two years of that time as night detective, having for a partner tbe present night lieutenant of tbe central district, John Roach. Detective Eagan was also connected once as a detective sergeant with the Chicago police depa t ment for three years. He has, both in his capacity as city officer and for private individuals, worked and auccessfully landed every criminal be ever went after. and bis record abowa that he never lost a case In bis life.
