TWO BURGLARS 1111.
Clare and Jenkins Both Succumb to
Their Bullet Wounds.
VICTIMS OF YOUNG ADAMS.
One of the Robbers Expired In the Mount
Kisco Jail and the other Died In a
Brooklyn Hospital—The Condi-
tion of the Third Man. I
NEW YORK, Aug. 25,—The man knolvn
as John Clare, alias John Gilmore, alias
Price, and whose real name the Brooklyn
police believe was Charles Jenkins, died at
the Long Island College hospital, Brock- '
lyn, early today, denying to the last that
he had anything to do with the tragedy at
Bedford Station or that the bullet wound
which caused his death was inflicted by
young William Adams in the fight he had
with the burglars about his late father’s
store early last Thursday morning.
The man declared to the last that he had
been shot bya man who lived .in Long
Branch. He refused to give the name of
the man who shot him.
The only admission that Clare —- the
name that he is best known by—would
make in connection with the Bedford Sta-
tion shooting was that he knew Peter
James, cnocf the tWo in ured burglars.
How, long he had known amds or when
he had seen him last Clare refused to say.
'He would not tell where any of his rela-
tives lived, but the police know that he
has a sister- inslaw in this city who may
claim the body.
Until shortly after midnight this morn-
ing Clare’s condition [showed improve-
ment. He had become so much better that.
the surgeons at the hospital had set toinor-
row for the amputation of his injured
arm.
All along the physicians wondered that
the man had stood the strain. He had
evidently wandered about for 30 hours aft-
'-er he was wounded. He had been a mor-
phine fiend, and when he' got to the hos-
pital he was almost a nervous wreck. It
was his nervous condition, combined with
the loss of blood, that caused Clare’s death.
It was 42:30 o’clock this morning when
the nurse who had been watching Clare
noticed the change for the worse in his
condition. House Surgeon Stearns was
hastily called.
The physician at once telephoned to
Brooklyn police headquarters that Clare
was dying. He expressed a belief that the
man might make a dying confession. De-
tective Sergeant Roche hurried to the hos-
pital, and for over an hour sat by Clare’s
side questioning him, but the man’s an-
swers were all denials of participation in
the murder of' the elder Adams.
“I was shot by a friend in Long Branch,
as I told you before. I know Peter James,
but I had nothing to do with the Bedfcrd
Station job, ” was all Clare would say.
"Look
Roche coax ngly, “if you were shot by a
friend in Long Branch, as you say, why,
we have nothing more to do with the case
:than ifyou were shot by a man in Europe.
Tell me his name.”
“No, I can’t do that.
*wouldn’ t tell. ”
Cla ter that began to sink rapidly.
The p clans worked over him, and at
one time he was revived and they hoped
that he would recover. But toward sun-
rise Dr. Stearns, who had been at Clare’s
side, gave: up all hope for the patient’s
life. He sent to the Hamilton Avenue po-
lice station, and a sergeant went to the
The police sergeant told Clare
that he was dying, but the man refused to
talk further than to say, “I will never tell
more than I have already told.”

John Jenkins Dead Too.
MOUNT KISCO, Aug. 25. —J ohn Jenkins,
or John Byrnes, one of the burglars who
were shot while attempting to rob the store
of Walker B. Adams at Bedford Station,
died in the jail here today.
. The body of the dead burglar is on the
cot where he passed the time since he was
taken into custody Thursday last.
He refused to say anything about him~
self and was conscious up to a short time
before his death.
Jenkins never uttered a word about the
shooting and refused to tell who the
fourth burglar was, notwithstanding he
was questioned many times regarding his
identity.
The condition of the tall, slim burglar,
identified as Edward Jacques, who was
shot in the right lung by young Adams,
was reported to be imprcving. He is in
the Westchester county jail, White Plains,
as the sherifi believes he is safer there.
Burglar-s In 11 Railroad Station.
". LONG ISLAND CITY, Aug. 25.——The safe
in the Long Island railroad station at Sea-
side station was destroyed by dynamite,
and the contents, consisting of about $1, -
000, the receipts of Saturday and Sunday,
Were stolen.
Seaside station is within astone' s throw
of the Rockaway police station, where
were stationed 17 policemen, but the rob-
bers did their work so quietly that the pc-
lice knew nothing of it until it was re-
ported to them today.
The station agent left the station at
11:55 last night. after placing in the safe
the railroad’s receipts of Saturday and
Sunday and the receipts of the Western
Union Telegraph company for the same
time. The amount has not yet been fixed,
but it is thought to be at least $1, 000. The
safe was in the inner ofi‘ice of the station
and was covered'with newspapers and sta-
tionary. ' It was about 3% feet high and 3
' feet wide and was supposed .to be burglar
proof.
When the station agent arrived at the
office this morning, he found the interior '
of the building in a state of wild disorder.
Drawers were piled'upon each other on the
floor, papers and receipts were strewn
about, and what remained of the safe was
lying in as many different parts of the
room as there were pieces.
Quilts and horse blankets. had been.
wrapped around the safe, and astick of,
dynamite placed on its top had blown it
entirely apart. The double doors of the
safe were opened as neatly as if dope with
'keys. The quilts and blankets deadened
the sound of the explosion, so that it lcould
not be heard a half block away.
-. After blowing open the safe the robbers-
'-gathe'red the. contents of the safe, consist-
ing of silver and greenbacks, and escaped,
it is thought, in a boat.
Exactly a year ago the safe in Hammeis
..otation, a short distance away, was broken
open in a similar manner and all the
money stolen from it. The police believe
that-the robbery was committed by the
heme persons.

Thrillmg Adventure of 110 Passengers on
a Trolley Car. ‘-
FREDERICK, Md. , Aug. 25.——A car on
the Frederick and Middleton Electric rail»
way, while descending Catoctin mountain
near here with 110 passengers on board,
got beyond control and ran away.
It dashed down the steep grade at fright-
ful speed until a sharp curve was reached,
when it left the track and was smashed to
splinters.
It is said 40 people were injured, but,
almost by a miracle it would seem, no one
was killed outright, and it is not thought
even that any of the injured will die.
The experience of the passengers, how-
ever, was a most thrilling one.
The line runs from Frederick City to
Catoctin Heights, a distance of five miles,
and has been in operation only five days.
It was soon after dark that car No. 11
started down the mountain for home. It
accommodated only about 60 passengers,
but the ,crowd fought to get on in spite of
Conductor Kefauver’s protests.
After traveling at a good rate of speed
about a. mile Motorman Mautz tried to
stop, but found that while the brake
worked on the front wheels he could not
The car gained
in momentum as it sped on until it trav-
eled at the rate of six miles an hour.
The passengers became panic stricken,
audit was all the few who retained their
presence of mind could do to keep them
from jumping off. As the car shot-over
the ravines the cry went out to hold on
tightly. Oncedt barely missed going down
a declivity. .
So great was the strain on the car that
the windows in front — were broken into
bits.
The motorman tried to reverse his lover,
but found, to his dismay, that the trolley
had jumped the wire. The car shot on
until about 2% miles down the mountain,
when it jumped a curve and immediately
after turned over. It was fertunate that
the accident occurred at this, point, as the
fall was not steep. Ten feet farther on it
would have gone into a ravine and every-
body would havo been killed. '
