On Wednesday evening the body
was brought to Haslet's undertaking
rooms at this place.
On Thursday telegrams were re
ceived from Edenburg, that two bus
picious characters bad been arrested
that morning. Sheriff Agnew, accom
panied by his deputies, T. F. Ritchey,
J. F. Proper, H. H. Shoemaker and
Constable Canfield. arrived there
Thursday evening and took the pris
oners in charge, who prove to beShel
don Wilfcou, Thomas Haggerty and
Samuel Shell, all residents of Clarion
county, and Friday at 3 p. ra., had
them safely lodged behind the bars al
this place.
Tho following accouotof the capture
of the prisoners, was written by one
of the sheriff's deputies: "Haggerty
arrived in Edenburg about 3 o'clock
Thursday morning, May 5, and got
breakfast at Showaller'a about 4
o'clock, also a lunch put up. He
bired a black horse and coverd car
riage from a liveryman named Floyd,
and started towards Lioeville, stop
ping at a farm house near there getting
couple of quarts of milk, which he
took with him. At Lioeville be in
quired the way. This was about 8
o'clock in the morning. Dr. J. W.
Carey, who thought he was a suspi
cious character from his black eve.
was the first to follow him, tying his
horse at the roadside, about 21
miles from Lioeville, and about four
mile from Wagner's the place where
the robbery was committed. Carey
drove by and soon saw Haggerty get
another man in the buggy, and start
back the same way he came. Carey
kept in sight of the parlies, and was
soon joined by J. II. McPherson and
Orah Smith, who kept close by them.
The suspicious parties drove slow, and
appeared to not notice any one. They
drove to Elk City, where one of the
parties got out at the depot, who after
wards proved to be Wilson. Hagger
ty drove on to Edenburg and returned
horse, and shortly afterward was sur
rounded and captured in an out-house.
Wilson boarded the train at Elk
City, paying bis fare to Foxburg, Mc
Pherson and officer getting on the train
with him. Wheu the train arrived at
Edenburg he was arrested and placed
the cooler with Haggerty. Ou
their persons were found revolvers,
bandybillies, steel knuckles, about 100
pieces of coin, complete set of burglar
tools, watches, knives, riags, cord,
beeswax, poison, powder aud Ac, and
each having in their possession a map
f this section of the country, with
places designated with 'rich farmers,'
safo' aod tbe like. Shell, the sup
posed accomplice of Haggerty and
Wilsou, was captured Friday May 6,
bout daylight in an ougine house,
near where the dead burglar's parents
ived, which is a short distance from
Turkey City, by Tionesta oflicers."
Wilson has a pistol ball in h
right leg, and a birllet hole throug
the back of his coat aod vest. Hag
gerty has a black eye, and other slight
injuries. They both bore evidene of be
ing in a recent fight. This is said to be
one of the most important captures in
the history of Western Pennsylvania
Oo Friday morning J. L. McCleary
of Turkey City, arrived here and fully
identified the dead burglar as his sou
Wm. J. McCleary, and conveyed tbe
remains to his home for burial.
PRELIMINARY HEARING.
On Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock
a targe crowa oi men, women and
children gathered in tbe Court Room
to hear the preliminary hearing of
Wilson, Haggerty, and Shell, charged
with making the murderous assault on
Jacob Wagner and family, in Tionesta
township, on the evening of May
The prisoners were brounht in from
the county jail, and 'Squire Brennan
opened his docket. S. S. Canfield
prosecutor, was represented by T. F.
Ritchey, J. B. Agnew appeared for
District Attorney P. M. Clark, and
E. L. Davis appeared for tbe defense
There were two charges made against
each prUoner one for burglary, and
the other for felonious assanlt. Wilson
and Haggerty waived hearing. Bai
in their case was fixed at $1,500 each
on the first information against them,
and $1,000 each on the second. Pros-
ecu tor laonem was neia in vzvv on
his own recognizance to appear against
them. In the case of Shell a hearing
was bad. The defendant plead "not
guilty." Tbe court then proceeded to
give him a bearing.
The following witnesses were then
examined :
Jacob Wagner On evening of May 3rd
came in from work between Sand 9 oclock ;
warned mrougn me nonse and sec down
bucket he was carrying; went out but

an Attack striking him over the head and
on the arm with clubs : thj also began
shooting and kept op a rapid firing and
clubbing. Succeeded in driving them out
and tried to lock the door. The panel was
broken in and the door forced onon : thev
got in again and got into the sitting room
adjoining the kitchen where the fight be
gan. Wagner, Sr., went into a bedroom
and got a gun but it was not loaded ; he
veiled at his bnvs tn trpf. rnvnlvnro unrl

Wagner. Jr.. was shot in the frav : found
a dead person at bars 50 or 60 feet from
house atter doctor was sent for j said to let
him lie there until doctor came ; the dead
man was lying on his face. He said the
men that artackeu Him looked like the
prisoners, Wilson and Haggerty. He did
not recognize Shell as being among the
rooDers. x ae ronoers were nil masked.
Cross-examined They cmnie in throutrh
outsiue aoor into the Kitcnon; did not
know if a third was in the room while the
two were first driven out; they struck
wnen mey nrsc came in ; there was no
light in the sitting room : there was a licht-
eu lamp suung on me lame in the kitchen.
The tall man came in first, the short one
last.
Geo. HuddJeson Arrived at Waener's
about I) o'clock on evening of Mav 3rd.
Saw a boy shot; two revolvers ; Wagner's
hoiifco riddled with bullet; saw lots of
blood. Went back next morning and saw
man dead lying on the porch, covered
with a blanket; did not recognize the man;
arier Dreaxiasi came back again; got a
trail ; found blood along the trail ; in one
place a pool of it. Saw blood on bars next
woods; toi lowed trail to road; the trail
sometimes cut across corners and over
points ;lost it finally at White Oak Spring:
it seemed to be leading to tbe right of
Linevine, or nearly toward Pitch Pine.
Sheriff Agnew Had a warrant for ar
rest of Shell. Went to Edenburg. Found
that Wilson and Haggerty had been arrest
ed and were in the lock-up there. About
1 1 o'clock learned that Shell had got on
train at Beaver and was at Turkey City at
McCleary's house. Got a riir aud went
down, and at 5 o'clock found Shell in a
boiler house and arrested him. While in
boiler house arresting Shell, heard shoot
ing outside. Came out and found that an
other man had run from the house, and
refusing to stop when called to halt, thev
( Ritchey and Proper) had started in pur
suit of him.
CroMt-exainined It was a warm moon
light night. The house and boiler house
seemed to be in a field. Saw some one
a woman-Mrs. McCleary, walking around
as I approached the house ; she said there
was no one in the boiler house. Shell
seemed to be asleep, but arose as I en
tered. Geo. Dunkle Witness was asked if he
could identify Shell. He suid he saw 3
men last luesday sitting on the steps of
Keck s meat market eatinur a lunch : he
thought when he first saw Shell on Satur
day last he was one of them, but now ho
did not think he was.
S. S. Canfield Went with Sheriff to iret
Shell. He could not identify Shell.
Fred. Branl Live at Tionesta station':
run the stavo mill there. Thought he had
seen Shell in company with two others,
week ago lout Saturday: identified Hair-
gerty as one of the men; the man killed
at Wagner's as the other; thev were down
at the stave mill. He came across to town
and met the man killed carrying a suck
which he supposed to contain eatables;
when ho went back they were on the Nqw
maker platform eating a lunch.
Cross-examined Saw them alwiut half
past four in afternoon. Attention was
ailed to tfiein Ijy one man's throwinix a
lub at something over the bank: think
the man who threw the club is Haggerty ;
at that time think shell was leaning against
plank pile on platform: think Shell had
ou brown coat aud dasher hat; wouldn't
swear he is the man he saw : think he is;
remembered Haggerty by Ins hut; he had
mustache; no whiskers; think lie hail ou
dark clothes ; not positive as to llaggcrtv's
identity. Positive that dead mun is iiiim
met on the bridge ; hud a square look at
him ; he identified him by the shape of his
chin, his freckles, aud his" general appear
ance. S. P. DeTurk, W. S. McCleary, and G.
E. Kline were called by the defense to
prove an alibi.
S. P. Do Turk Live in Salem township,
Clarion rouuty ; born and raised thrc ;

Have known Shell sincn lm was a sm.ill

clock strike 11 soon after Shell went to
bed. Shell hns been with me this last
time about a month and a half. Shell an-1
boy killed and Oliver McCleary wore in
Turkey City riot, at least I so understood.
Outside of the church riot the boy killed
had a good reputation ; be had many
friends, and no enemias. Witness after
wards said that the bov killed had been
tried, and acquitted of any complicity in'
the church riot.
G. E. Kline Rom, raised, and reside in
