few of the female portion of the crow-
expressed a desire to see what man'
EDWARD DIDDLE!.
ner of a man Ed Piddle was, that he
should exert Buch a wonderful Influ
ence over men and particularly wo
men.
The verdict of the Jury is that Ed
Blddle came to his death by a revolver
shot from a 32-callbre revolver fired
by himself and that Jack Blddle met
his death from a gunshot wound In
dieted by the officers In discharge of
their lawful duty.
The evidence secured by the an
topsy bears out the statements that
the Biddies Intended to kill themselves
rather than be taken alive and that
Ed succeeded In his attempt while
Jack failed, though his life was for
feited.
Since (he officers concerned In the
fiRht and capture of the Biddies have
had time to cool off a little there ap
pears to be a disposition to be fair
towards each other In tho matter of
the distribution of the prize money
and an agreement to divide the $5,000

tliree Pittsburg detectives, has been
practically contented to by all of the
men except Detective McGovern who
Is not here.
At 6 o'clock last evening the bodies
of the Hiddles were removed from the
Jail to one of the hallways of the
sheriff's dwelling and the public was
given an opportunity of looking at the
two nortorlous criminals.

At the coroner's Inquest Deputy

'We put our two teams In charge of
J. A. Snyder. We then got In line and
they came down the hill and the first
thing I saw Ed Blddle pulled a revol

swore at me for It. I had a revolver
in my hand and had it loaded. I
walked un to them and he walked up
and hit Jack on the back of the head
with the butt end of his Winchester
when he was on his face. Then I
turned Ed over on his back. I was
the first to touch either of the men and
he was going to shoot them again. He
stepped back and shot Jack again aft
er he was on the ground. I turned
Ed over, and he said : "For God's saka
don't shoot Kgain let me die."

MURDERERS BREAK JAIL.
Two Brothers Under Sentence
of
Death Escape.
Pittsburg, Jan. 31. Edward and
John Biddle, awaiting execution in
the county jail for the murder of Gro
cer Thoniaj D. Kahney of ML Wash
ington, overpowered the guards at 4
ociock inursday morning ana es
caped. Beth prisoners had been provided
with saws, with which they had cut
the bars in their cells. The prisoners
occupied adjoining cells on the second
range and had assistance from the
outside, as both were armed with re
volvers. Shortly before 4 o'clock one of the
Hiddles called to James McGeary, who
had charge of the outside gates, and
asked for some cramp medicine In a
hurry, saying his brother was danger
cusly sick.
McGeary hastened to the cell with
the medicine, when John Biddle
sprang through the opening In tho
cell and, seizing tho guard around the
waist, hurled him over the railing to
the stone floor beneath, a distance of
16 feet.
Edward Blddle joined his brother
Immediately and both, with drawn re
volvers, hurried to the first floor,
where they met Guard Reynolds and
shot htm.
Thei-3 were but three men on duty,
and th? third was on cne of the upper
raiiei. lie was ordered down at the
poir.t of the revolvers ,and the three
guards were put In the dungeon.
The keys were tnken from Keeper
McGeary and the two desperate pris
oners had a clear field.. The only per
sons who witnessed the escape were
prisoners who could not Interfere or
give an alarm.
The Biddli?s went to the wardrobe,
where the pttards keep their clothing,
ard each put on a new suit. They
then unlocked the outside gate3 and
passed cut Into tho street.
The escape was not discovered until
the daylight guards came on duty at
6 o'clock. They were Informed by
prisoners where the night guards had
been put. and they were soon released
frrm the dungeon and sent to th
hospital.
The escr.po. of tho Biddies was sub
sequently explained by Warden Peter
K. Pi ffel. The warden asserts that
his wife Is responsible for the furnish
ing of the revolvers and saws to the
I'icldles which enabled them to es
cape.
ARRESTED FOR MURDER.
Two Italians, Pursued For Five Day,
Found Half Starved.
Brockwavville, pa., Feb. 3. Half
naked and nearly starved Thomas
Madelena and Bonnie Poll, Italians
wanted for the murder of James
lleekln, at Shawmut, January 28, were
captured In a lonely woods near
Crenshaw, two miles from this place.
The Italians have been pursued and
searched for since the night of the
crime and commissioner of Elk
county and the Shawmut Mining com
pany had offered a reward of $1,000
for their capture. Fellow countrymen
spurred by vengeance and the large
reward have been scouring the country
for miles in search of the fugitives
The pursuing party was composed of
four Italians, under the direction of
Squire Thomas Keys of this place.
The murderers had been hiding In tho
woods since Heal;ln was murdered
They tell a pitiable tale of starvation
and suffering.
The murder with which the Italians
are charger was premeditated, and It
is supposed they also intended to kill
Thomas Burke, a contractor for whom
Poll had worked, and as Heekin was
with Burke on the night of the mur
der the Italians selected the wrong
man and shot Heekin.
