GONGERNED INMURDER T00.
Prisoner Informed Detectives “'hcre He
Had Concealed His Plunder In the
\Voods—Arrest Brought About
by His Own Stupidity.
Montreal, April 21.—Joseph E. Kelley,
who is under arrest here for the mur-
der of Cashier Stickney of the Somers-
worth (N. H.) bank and the looting of
the bank, was still in a comfortable
frame of mind today when he was tak—
en out of the dark cell in which he had
been made to spend the night. He has
as yet engaged no lawyer, but he inti-
mated today that he would not fight
extradition, but would of his own ac-
cord return to the United States to
stand trial for his crime. He has made
no effort to deny his identity or his
guilt.
Chief Detective Carpenter and other
officers left here today for St. Clett’s.
The place is about 35 miles from here.
Kelley admitted to Chief Detective
Carpenter at an early hour today that
he had buried a large sum of money,
taken from the bank, in the woods near
St. Clett’s. He told the detectives the
exact spot where they could find the
money.
The arrest of Kelley, which was ac-
complished at midnight last night, was
due to his own stupidity. He went to
a. notorious house here disguised as a
woman. He had not been in the place
more than five minutes when he tore
off his disguise, consisting of a woman’s
.hat and gown, and stood before those
in the house in male attire. His dis—
guise was very clever, and his actions
created a great deal of amusement. He
then showed a large roll of bills and
spent his money freely. Finally he told
the people in the place who he was. The
police were notified, and Kelley was ar—
rested.
The fellow took his arrest coolly. He
admitted his identity at once and con-
fessed that he had robbed the bank and
had had a hand in the killing of Mr.
Stickney, the cashier. He told the po—
lice some wild tale of a mysterious
stranger who had met him near the
bank and had gone with him when the
robbery and murder were committed.
The mysterious one took the greater
part of the booty and left for parts un-
known. This, at least, was the tale he
told last night. Today he made no
mention of the mysterious stranger.
Had Lots of liloney.
When searched after his arrest $2, 750
in bills was found in Kelley’s posses-
sion. He today told where the rest of
the $4,100 taken from the bank was 10
be-found.
The crime of which Kelley is the self-
confessed perpetrator is one of the most
sensational of the day. Cashier Stick-
ney of the Somersworth (N. H.) bank
was found shortly after noon on April
16 lying dead in the bank. His throat
had been cut from ear to ear. About
were evidences of the fearful struggle
that had taken place before the old
man—he was nearly (SO—had given in
to the robber or robbers.
Every penny that was in the bank,
$4,100, had been taken, as well as about
$300 worth of postage stamps. There
was no clew to the murderer and rob-
ber. Posses were organized and a most
thorough search of the surrounding
country was made, but to no purpose.
On the following day it was remarked
that Joseph E. Kelley, a man who had
been doing Odd jobs about the town,
was missing, and a hunt was made for
him. He would not have been found if
he had been able to keep away from
drink.
Joy at Somersworth.
Somersworth, N. H., April 21.-——City
Marshal Eaton received a telegram
from Montreal at 2:30 o’clock this
morning stating that Kelley had been
captured in Montreal. The arrest has
caused great satisfaction. The reward
for his capture would have been in~
creased to $5.000 today. Kelley will be
brought to the Dover jail.

Charlotte, N. G, April 21.—The Globe

ceiver. The paid up capital stock is
$65,000; the bonded indebtedness $60,000.

payment of interest on the bonded in-
debtedness, and shortly after shut
doWn with the announcement that the

liabilities about $120,000.
Ivory’s Claim Against England.
Washington, April 21.—-—Edward J.
=Ivory’s claim for $100,000 damages
against the British government will
not be pressed. by the state department.
There is no denial that he was arrested
and imprisoned and then dismissed be-
cause the British authorities had no
claim, but Secretary Sherman will hold
that Ivory had every legal opportunity
given to him to prove his innocence,
and that therefore he has no good case.
