A. Cornered Burglar Battles Desperately with Officers, He Ki'ls One and Wounds His Wife Escapes but Is Afterwards Caught. AT CLOSK EANGK. PITT.SIJU.KGH. March desperate shooting affray occurred in a house at Peter's Hun, near McKeesport, at 7 o'clock Saturday night that resulted in the, killing of one detective, the serious wounding of another, and the slight wounding of two policemen and a woman.

The shooting is the sequel of a bold burglary that occurred at Homestead. One evening six weeks ago a girl named Laura Hill entered Smith's jewelry store at Homestead, and began pricing various articles of jewelry. While in conversation with this girl three men, who had forced an entrance from the rear, struck, the proprietor down and bound him. The lights were then turned out, and the the girl, completely cleaned out the store, escaping with some 83,500 in cash and jewelry. The Gilkinson detective' agency was given charge of the case, and' not long after the girl, who is known by several names, was arrested in Harrisburg with a suspicious lot of jewelry on her person.

She was brought to the McKeesport jail and by judicious pumping, "peached" on her pals. Acting on her instructions Saturday night Chief Detective Gilkinson. of the Pittsburgh agency, with detective Pat Murphy, and two McKeesport policemen, drove across the river to Peter's Run, reaching'the house of the leader in the robbery, A. G. Budd, alias "Fitzsimmons," at about 7 o'clock.

Meanwhile, it is thought the girl H-ill had warned Budd, for when Gilkinson threw open the door Budd stood in the lower room apparently changing his clothes. The moment Budd saw Gilkinson he threw up a revolver and fired, the ball entering Gilkinson's forehead, killing him instantly. Detective Murphy leaped over the prostrate form in the doorwaj and, facing Budd, a terrible duel at short range in the smoke-darkened room followed. Budd emptied one revolver, and his wife, who was in the room, ran to his side with another. Murphy, though badly wounded, had also emptied his pistol, and stooping to the dead body of his chief, drew his revolver and renewed the firing.

He was firing blindly into the smoke, however, while the burglar centered all of his shots toward the door. Suddenly a woman screamed, and with a curse, Budd planted a bullet into Murphy's breast, who fell back over Gilkinson's body. During the panic that seized the two policemen at this second loss to their ranks Budd threw me clothes over his arm and" escaped. A review of the room showed the place to be a pepperbox of holes, bullets having struck in every conceivable place. Gilkinson was dead; Pat Murphy was shot in the forehead, chin- and breast, though not fatally, while the woman received a shot in the arm, and the two policemen were slightly wounded by the flying bullets.

The woman was taken to jail, while telegrams were sent all over the three states to intercept Budd. Budd was captured in Braddock, near here, at 9 o'clock Sunday night. He feared lynching and had a naked knife concealed in his breast, intending to commit suicide if surrounded by a mob. The city is greatly excited, as his vie- tims were well known throughout the state. Klot at an Italian Meeting.

March 24. An unusual and touching incident occurred at the female reformatory Saturday. Twenty-five years ago John Adams and family resided in Jennings county, Mrs. Mary Adams his second wife. For some reason never understood Mrs.

Adams poisoned her husband, itnd upon conviction WLLS sentenced to life imprisonment in the reformatory. Emma, a child less than, five years of age, was adopted by a well to do family, and she shortly afterward went with them to Missouri and is now the wife of a pi-osperous business man of St. Louis. The cause of her father's death and her mother's imprisonment were kept i-om her. and she supposed both were dead.

On Friday she returned to Jennings county to attend the funeral of a relative, and when she reached the graveyard she expressed a wish to see the grave of her mother. For the first time she was told that her mother was an inmate of the female prison here. Saturday evening she vis- 'itcd the prison and made herself known to her mother, now bent with age and showing- the effects of her long- confinement. Mrs. Adams saw no resemblance between the tall, well-formed woman before her and the child from whom she had been separated a quarter of a century ago.

"0, mother, I'm Emma, your baby girl. Don't you know me?" For a. moment the prisoner stood as one trying- to recall the babyhood of the woman before her. and then with a wild cry she rushed into her anxious daughter's outstretched arms. The superintendent and attendants retired and left the long separated mother and daughter alone.

"What passed between them is unknown, but several hours later the daughter entered governor's parlors with faltering steps, and in tones tremulous with emotion pleaded for the pardon of her mother. The executive was deeply moved by the story, and drew up and signed a pardon in. the daughter's presence. A messenger was dispatched with the daughter to the prison and Mrs. Adams was free.

The governor and the prison officials refuse to make known the name of the St. Louis lady, as her husband is a well-known man, and the publication oi his name would' add nothing to story.
