Every new symptom was watched. Early In th evening peritonitis symptoms were visible in Morris, and what were thought to be pneu monia symptoms exhibited themselves in McClusky. Morris's symptoms were accompanied by vomiting and a rise In his fever and McCluskys by a decided rise In temperature. An Index to the chancier of the two men was the manner In which they bore their suffering. In the cases of both the pain was excruciating, but there passed from the lips of Detective McClusky no murmurs expressing his agony.

Lally, for a long time special 'agent the MlMourl Pacific Railroad, knew the- bandit well, and brought Morris and with, another robber. Willie Rogers, from EvansvlUe, eight years ago. They had been arrested there after a battle with officers, to be brought to Nevada for trial in connection with the holding up of a train crew. According to Lally. the original gang comprised Morris, Vaughn and Rogers.

Rogers was either released or died at the Jefferson City Penitentiary. He was the only 8t Louis member of. the gang. He was a bellboy and Is said to have been the most daring of the trio. He planned "most of the work and executed it while tbeothers were thinking about it according to Lally.

Morris is a. Texan and a railroader by occupation. In his early -years his Ufa was spent on a ranch and It was while In this employment that he became known for a crack shot among the cowboys of the south of Texas. Ha was considered an expert with the gun and revolver, apd his great strength enabled him- to do most of the heavy work about the ranch. Even In after years, when be had deserted the cowboy's life and took up railroading, be still retained his skill with the gun.

The heavy work of the original trio. comprising Morris, Vaughn and Rogers, usually devolved upon Morris on account of his crsat strength apd "his skill with the rfl. When he was brought te Nevada, Mo-, he told Laty that he would not havo tupiod robber h4 it not been for the fact every railroad In the country had 'blackballed him and refused bim work. Lalys statement- is as follow; "On a payday at Nassau Junction, in gtiite, about eight years ago, three men hejd up a tra'n crew and shot the conductor, Boh Trlekett in the face, the bulet entering below the eye and coming out at the nose. The pang ot away.

I was sent on the eas'e end secured evidence that the gang was. pperating to the South. I went to Pittsburg, and there found unmistakable evidence that the trio was in town, "From persons with whom they had minified got a description, and tha Missouri pacific Railroad had the full description which I had secured made out in pamphlet form and distributed all over the country. On one of the circulars the same trio was afterward arrested in In "They disappeared from this section of the country, and It was not until we heard of a pitched battle tn BvanevWe. that we learned their whereabouts.

'They had held up several grocery stores and were working' the town, hard, when they were captured. Chief of Po-llce George Oevey. with Detectives Hutch-Ins and Wilson, were on a street car one day, when the three They shouted toi'the passantren to hold up their hands. Rogers spotted the eaaoars, and "An exchange of shots followed. The robbers exhausted thelrt ammunition, hon-eier.

and then "About this time the laws of the State of Missouri were emended, making it a capital offense to hold up a train. The 8tate of Indiana waived all claims to the tro, to allow them to be tried under the laws of this State for holding up the train crew. They were tried and got ten ears-After their release from prison I lost sight of them. "I do not think this man Ross is Rogers. I believe that Rogers Is dead, as illness secured a parole for him from the Penitentiary."

Cincinnati, Oct, SL Behind tha desperate pistol duel in St Louis yesterday lies the life story of ono man, Harry L. Vaughn, and the series of crimes that led up to the shooting, Frank Duncan, a Covington inan now (n'the Birmingham, prison, for a second time under sentence of death, alo figured. Vaughn Is known to Berllllon Sergeant Kiffmeyer bt-the Cincinnati Bureau as "New York Harry." alias Harry O'Dowd, alios Oraltam, and hla picture is In the Cincinnati rogues' gallery, because the police once scoured the clt, blielng him to be hiding in the city. Duncan, tho Covengton man, declares now that the crime of shooting two policemen, for which he is serving a life sen tence In the Alabama prison, and for which another pal of his, "Dutch John" Hepdrlpks. paid his life on tho gallons In Alabama, was committed by "New York Harry." Vaughn- or Dowd, his real name, began a life of crinie enrs ago.

He became known the country as "New York Harry" when he and "Dutch John" Hendricks and Frank Duncan terrorized fle StatC3 Alabama. Tennessee, Georgia. Florida and Kentucky with a series of the most daring safe-blowing and Post-Office robbery jobs known In police annals. Their career of crime waschecked In Birmingham, In May, P03. when, after blowing and looting the Standard Oil Companj safe, they were met by a squad of patrolmen.

They shot two of them, and "Dutch John" and Duncan were captured, but "NewYork Harry" escaped. "Dutch John" was sentenced to tho gal lows. His last vords before the drop fell excused Vaughn of firing the shots that killed the to officers. Dunes was sentenced to die. but a few ears ago his wife, from her home in Covington, bought saws in Cincinnati and had them secreted In the soles of a pair of shoes made In Cincinnati, practically for the purpose.

Thus she smuggled the mean' of escape to her husband, and again he tasted llbertj. He was captured recently In Tampa, and taken back to bis cell. After Vaughn escaped he was expected to turn up In Cincinnati, for the trio were known then to have made frequent trips to Ohio, but though the police did not relax vigilance for months, he was never captured. Blair may be a man arrested in Cincinnati some years ago and sent to Chllllcothe, but the identification Is not complete Detectives Callahan und Jackson arrested Vaughn twelve years ago at the Palace Hotel. Just alter he had been liberated from a term at Washington, D.

2i By a decisive vote of 323 to 217. the Clumber of Deputies tonight approved the Government's course In the matter of the rupture of diplomatic relations between France and tho Vati can, by the recall of Ambassador NIsard. The vote was taken after a boisterous session. In the course of which Deputy Baudry d'Asson called Prime Minister Combes a brigand, and was restrained with difficulty from personally assaulting the Premier. The majority Is larger than that which the Premier had at the last session, whch fact Insures the carrying out of the Prime Minister's policy concerning the separation of the church and state.

IiBPUBLIC SPECIAL. New York. Oct 21 Much attention wi'l be aivtn by the political carop3lgn managers of both sides during the next two weeks to thq bettirg on their candidates. It was learned to-day that a concerted effort will bo made to reduce the odus of 4 to 1 in favor of Roosevelt, and to make Judge Herrlck once more the favorite in the wagers. President RooscTe't opened a 3-to-l favorite in July, with even meney offered that he would carry New York State.

Toward the close of 'August Judge Parker made a slight gain, anii the prevail nj rate for wagers on the general result was 10 to 7 on Roosevelt From this point the confidence of the Republicans Increased rapidly, and by the end of September Roosevelt men weie giving 3 to 1 on tb choice. The odds now quoted arc 4 to 1, and offerings at these odds are being reaoily absorbed. Judge Ilemck opened at 10-to-7 favorite Mr. Hlssic-. but he has now gone back to even terms.

So far comparatively little money has been risked on the election. What wl I be the effect of the registration this year w.H be reveaM in the bettinjr this wek- As a rule, the result of each election has been foreshadowed In the there have been noteworthy exceptions In 1SS8 Cleveland was the favorite over Harrison, at odds of 10 to 7. but Harrison was elected.

W. X. Eddy of Bajonne. N. and William Kinjr of St.

Lous were jesterday morning at the Stadium flying the Alexander Graham Bell tetrahedral kte. The kite, composed of three 6-foot triangles, filled with, sixty-four 10-inch triangular cells, was sent up to an altitude of between 200 and 400 feet at 10 o'clock and kept in the eir until broken by a sudden eust of wind. The accident is attr.buted to a flaw in the outer frame of the big kite, which was constructed of very light pine, instead of ash. The kite compief ii verj light, weighing less than tour pounds. For two hours the kite rode very steadily in a wind blowing at a velocity of forty miles per hour.

Mr. Eddy stated that for stablilt) in such a high and gusty wind the Bell tetrahedral kite was far superior-to any single-plane, aeroplane or box kite ever flown. At this altitude It was estimated that the kite did not vary to exceed fltty feet from its position. As soon as the repairs can be mads Mr. Eddy will send the Bell kite to make mid air photojrraphs bt the worms jrair grounds, and will probably begin this work to-morrow, continuing nil week, at various rolnts about the grounds, until photographs of the entire Fair are taken.
