AID WELIER CONFLICT.
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.

JUST ESCAPED
THE GALLOWS.
Two Innocent Men WTio Might'
Have Been Hinged on Circum

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

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.
