Goods Recovered. "
AD bombs explode
In
tncir lreusos or somo
liko sudden shock been
given the pcoplo of
town yesterday tliey
would not havo been
moro .surprised than
they were by tho dis
covery raado by Harry Bowuian, the grocer,
and tho subsequent dcvclapmcnts. M.
Bowman succeeded in clearing up what lias
been to Ulm a mystery for about two years
and a half and tho residents-!' South Jardtn
street arc staggered by tho announcement
that one of their most quiet and, apparently,
best ncighborshira been rournjlttinghurglarics
time and rgaiu during that period.
Tho accused-Is Dennis SSuttory, eon of one
of tho oldcBt and most respected 'business
men of tho town. Allboash somewhat way
ward d hls-early earner thero was uo one
who could say a word against Dennis' life
tho past four or five jeers, not up to tho time
of yosterday'b discovery, so cleverly had he
committed liis crimes and covered this tracks.
.For abont two years and a half Grocer
Bowman says ho has been working like a
slave to try to make two ends meet. Ho
worked-uight and day, but notwithstanding
his diligent attendance to tho business, the
fact that his kuowlotlgo of It is based upon a
life experience, and the fact that he is by are
means a spendthrift Mr. Bowrnaii found him
self continually losing ground. Ho said last
night-that tlio-i train had brought him totfio
vergo-of failure oad he lias his household
goods-offered forealo with thoi'dea of giving
up ho6ckcepiug.anduoardtag.at a hotel with
hi&wifo to save expenses.
During alt the time Mr. -Bowman felt he
was losing his grip on tha business he was
partly conseievB-of tho causa, but could not
locate-tho source. Ho found, day after lay,
that-stock was missing from his storo and
warehouse,' but could not ttraco them; and
for-eome unknown reasons he did not invoko
the aid of the law to solve the mystery.
Hat in the beginning of this week Mr,
Bowman's suspicions were -aroused and by a
close watch upon his goods and a little
detective business he eventually succeeded in
clearing up tho mystery. Mr. Bowman
resides on Jardln street, about two squares
from the store. Tho dwelling apartments
over the latter .place havo been vacant for a
short time. -When the grocer went to his
store Tuesday morning heonissed a quantity
of goods whieh he had put in a partloular
place the night beforo. Mr. Bowrnaa re
mained in tho store, with .his friend, Gert.
Clauser, all of Haeeday night.
That night uono visited the store, mt at
an early hour inie morning a noiso was
hoard.iu the yard. "They are coming," said
Mr. Jiowman, and he and his companion bid
behind dfoxos and barrels with the ninzzlos of
two revolvers pointed at the-rear door of tho
store, bnt no one opened it and that night's
watch wont for nothing.
Wednesday night Messrs. Bowman and
Clauser again remained In the store. At five
o'clock yesterday morning they concluded to
go home. .No burglars had visited the place.
When tho two men were walking towards
Air. Bowman's home they met Dennis Slat
tery, who wa carrying a large burlap bag on
his arm. Slattery said io was going for
doctor, as his wife was sick. Slattery livos
on South Jardln street and when met was
going in the direction of Bowman's store.
Bowman and Clauser watched Slattery and
in a few minutes saw him walk out of a
passage way that leads to the rear of tho
grocery with a box of cheese on his shoulder.
Yesterday afternoon Bowman sworo out a
warrant for Slattern's arrest and it was given
to Constablo Dando for execution. While
the constablo and Slattery were standing in
front of the senior Slattery's store tho pris
oner skipped up the long flight of steps
leading to the photograph gallery. Blattciy
got Into the cobbling shop at tho reir of hit
father's store and threw into a neighboring
yard a quantity of goods ho had secreted
thero. ' Tho object was to prevent any of the
stolen goods bolng found on the tether's prem
ises.
Meanwhile Constablo Dando w; a making
his way through Bowman's store to get to
the rear and into the place where Slattery
was, but beforo he could get there tho latter
had all tho goods thrown our, descended from
tho cobbling shop to a neighboring yard, and
then by climbing" over fences reached Pear
alley and dashed northward like a deer,
with the constable and a crowd of boys iu
pursilt. Dando cried "Halt !" several times.
but Slattery continued up tho alley at a
sprinter's gait. Ho was lost to sight in the
bushes on the Braudouvlllo road above tho
Kehley Eun colliery.
When Constable Dando returned to the
Justice's office It was decided to havo Slat
tery's houso searched. Constable Bolaud was
givon this warrant. When opening the door
Mrs. Slattery tried to prevent Bolaud from
entoring, but the latter forced his way in iu
spite of the woman's remonstrances that
'you are no gentleman or you would not
force yourself into a house in this manner."
Boland sold gallanlry was not in order aud
ho produced,liJa search warrant. A search of !
the house from top to bottom revealed hun- f
dreds of dollars worth of goods that had !
i
been stolen from Bowman nnd embraced
ovory artlele Imaginable in the grocery line.
After Boland had made the search Mrs.
Slattory begged him to go away and offered
him fifty dollars to say ho found nothing in
the houso. Boland declined tho oner and
took Mrs. Slattory to 'Squlro Williams offioo.
Upon Constable Bolatid's lcport Grocer
Bowman sent his wagon for tho goods that
had been found. Tho magnitude of the haul
can bo measured by tho fact that tho wjgou
mado three trips between tho Slattery house
aud Bowman's Btoro. It would bo Impossible
to cuumerato tho haul. Thero are a very
few items: 10 pounds of coffee, 27 pounds of
tea, 277 pounds of flour, 52 pound-packages
of starch and corn starch, 101 pounds of hard
tobacco, 81 pound-packages of soft tobacco, 3
Iroxca of clothes pins, 85 different kinds of
canned goods and 500 papor bags. Tho list of
articles recovered fills four legal cap shoets of
paper, but Bowman says tho recovery is far
from complete.
Justl:o Williams concluded to hold Mrs.
Slattery under bail, on the presumption that
sho had knowledge of tho robberies. The
woman declared that sho was entirely Inno
cont of any of her husband's transactions.
At about 1) o'clock last evening, whllo Mr.
Williams was having a hearing, word was
received that Slattory was at his home.
G'onstablo Bokind ' and Dando went to the
house. Dando went to tho flout aud tho
former to tho rear oif the houso. Bolaud
found Slattery shivering behind the door iu
tho wator closet. Slattery had neither coat,
vost, hat or shoes on, and ou account of the
tioublo ho had causid In tho afternoou by
Tunning away the officers refused to allow
him to enter tho houso to put ou the things,
They wero sent for after tha delivery of tho
prisoner at the 'suuiro s ofhee.
Slatlery was very cool. Ho was told of tho
charges aud pleaded guilty at once. He said
ho got into the stoio through a doorway
that spoiled ou a porch on the second story at
tbC'Kar, HeiJso claimed that the door wan
also open when ho made his visits and ad
mitted robbing ttio warehouses iu tho yard
frequently, but-denied flint at any time he
had used keys. Mr. Bowman di-clarod that
the warehouses were looked every night. Tho
grocer became very inuoli excited and said
Two thousand dollars will not cover my
losses. Hero I havo been struggling for two
years and a half anil jjelng back everyday
until I am almost rutntd."
"There is no occasio for all this farco.
"clquire," saidShittery. "This is unnecessary.
Justice Williams fired $1,000 tail for
Slattery and 1(500 for his wife, which was
offered by John Slattory, brother oftheac
cased, but the Justice found upon referring
to tho District Attorney's printed orders that
bail could not be taken for Slattery, as he was
eharged with night burglary. Tho brothor
then refused to furnish bail for the wife
This, it is said, was due to family difficulties.
Slattery spent the night In tho lockup aud
tho wife aud her sun stayed at Constable
Boland's house.
Constable Behind says ho also found
Slattery's house about 1,000 pairs of boots,
shoes aud uppers aud largo quiutities
leather and other materials uacd In making
shoes. This stock ia supposed to beloug to
the senior Slattery, but thus far he has
declined to take any steps to provoownership
or to prosecute. Ho also declined to ltok tor
bail for his son, or tho wife.
Ibis case is one of the greatest of sur
prises to the people. Although Dennis Slat
tery had been wild In his time, thero was not
one who believed ho would beconio a burglar.
Some of his friends say he must be
kleptomaniac, while others express . the
opinion that he was encouragod in his work
by his wife. This latter theory is no doubt
based upou the inability of those who hold to
it to forget tho wife's former life.
About five years ago Slattery's wildnesa lod
him to become a patron of tho fast houses in
Pcttsvillo. During this career he met and
became infatuated with a woman at
placo -called the "Flower Garden." This
woman was AnnioJckus aud left her homo
in Danville to lead tho lifo at I'ottsville.
Slattery's visits to tho woman hecamo fre
quent aud ho lavished money upon her.
Finally Slaticry took the woman to Blngtown
and supported her thero until his funds com
menccd to run low, when tho woman, still
under the "protection" of Mattery, came to
town and entered the then notorious Max
well house. Subsequently Slattery married
the woman aud they have since been living
together in a handsomely furnished house on
South Jardin street, where the stolen goods
were found.
Notwithstanding the previous career of
Mrs. Slattery and the fact that friends of
Dennis lay his downfall at her door, theieare
many who speak well of her, so far as her
married life is concerned. It is said the
couple led a happy life and the influence of
the wife has been such that since their
marriage she has induced Slattery to abandon
all his former reckless habits. Through her
influence, it is claimed, the husband has
become strictly temperate and lias given up
the use of tobacco in all forma. Still t all
this Slattery's friends say, "But she did not
stop the burglaries." One tho other hand,
the woman says sho knew nothing of them.
Slattery was employed in the cobbling shop
conncoted with his fvther's store and it Is said
he made good wages.
It was stated last night that Slattery has re
peatedly expressed anxiety to go to Blue
field, West Virginia, and embark in some
business and it is believed that the burglaries
was a part of a systematic plan for a start.
Denni6 Slattery nnd his wife wero taken
to the I'ottsville jail this morning, after
several ineffectual efforts were made to secure
bail for the latter.
