2 SHERMAN COMES 01 THE CHICAGO r • Ghastly, Muffled, His Face Heavily Veiled, A MAN DESPERATELY ILL NO ONE WHO SAW 11IM C’OULI> DOUBT THAT. BORNE TO THE HOTEL ON A LITTER Mrs. McCallum, the Ex Sectary's Daughter, Was at Newport News to Receive Him. Sherman is Wasted Almost to a Skeleton. Newport News. Ya., March 28. —The cruiser Chicago which left Hampton Knuds, March 12th, under orders to overtake the American Liner Paris and transfer from that ship ex-Secretary John Sherman who had been taken se riously ill, arrived at Old Point shortly after the noon hour to-day with the distinguished invalid on hoard. Mr. Sherman was one of a party of tourists who were visiting .points of recent his torical interest, having chartered tin* Paris for tli. purpose. The Chicago after taking Mr. Sher man on Imard sailed from Santiago last Friday morning, proceeding direct to this point. The party that returned with the ex-Secretary on the Chicago is composed of his nephew, Mr. Frank AViborg, of Cincinnati, Dr. McGill, of Duluth, the physician who has been in constant attendance upon the sick man, and Mrs. Dr. Santzer, who never leaves the patient. The ex-Secretary'S daughter, Mrs. Me- Callutu. watched the cruiser’s approach from tli s veranda of the Chamberlain Hotel, preparations for the reception of the invalid at that resort having been made under her personal supervision. Mr. Wiborg came ashore when the cruiser dropp il anchor, bringing reassur ing news to the anxious watchers, and after a brief chat with Mrs. McCallum, returned to the Chicago, the lady accom panying him. Later in the afternoon, Mr. Sherman, closely muffled and with the features entirely concealed beneath a heavy black veil, was placed in a steam launch and removed to the pier. Two officers and , four men from the ship accompanied Mr. Sherman and his attendants. He was borne in a litter to the note! on the broad should rs of four marines. A gust of wind lifting tdie veil disclosed the face of the, invalid. It was wan, pinched and of a deathly pallor. A crowd of several hundred people wit nessed the removal of the sick man to the hotel. At <* p. m. he was again placed on the litter and taken on board the Washing ton boat. That Mr. Sherman is a very sick man, no one who got a glimpse of the invalid’s ghastly features can doubt. He has lost flesh until little remains of the once ac tive and vigorous man but a frame, and he is obviously far advanced in feeble ness and gen nil infirmity. While being prepared for the stretcher, Mr. Sherman gave the sailors who were to carry him. minute orders as to how they should handle the conveyance. SIFFEItED FOIL THE GUILTY. Imprisoned for a Murder They Never Committed. Kansas City, Mo.. March 28. —The Star to-day prints a three-column story regarding the arrest of a remarkable gang of Kansas criminals who have for y.ars lived by means of robbery and murder. One of the gang is believed to lie llie murderer of Jos. New, who was killed in Greenwood county. Kan sas. two years ago, for which New's wife and Gtsirge 11. Dobbs aril now serving life sentences. So firmly does Warden Landis, of the Kansas penitentiary, believe in the inno cence of Mrs. New and Dobbs that lie will imm diately urge Governor Stanley to pardon them. Frank Alt goal, alleged to be the real murderer, is in jail at loin. Kansas, under a charge of forgery. Alvin Ballard, serving an eight year sen tence in the Kansas peiiiF ntiary l'or horse stealing, has confess J mat he. A'ltgood and “Bill’ Turner, \v*iv the murdereres of New and that Mrs. New and Dobbs are absolutely innocent. Turner lias not lieon found. It seems that the very men who mur dered New and robbed iris den 1 body, conspired afterward to.convict the widow and Dobbs. The supposed murderer, Altgood, according to Ballard, even went so far as to try to get on the jury which convicted them. Ballard goes on to say that he, Alt good and Turin r were memliers of an organized gang of thieves and murderers that operated in Southeastern Kansas. As a result of his confession, eighteen stolen horses, a bag of counterfeit silver dollars and a count. rlViting outfit have been recovered. Beside Altgood, B. L. M;tt lies. Mary Mat lies and Herbert Simpson are under arrest. Fifty other horses stolen by the gang have b en lo cated. The officers are on the trail of other inemlers of the gang. Ballard also alleges that Altgood murdered Win. Ooultner near Eureka, in 1881). Officers who have been working on Lite case have corroborated many of the Ballard statements. DIGGING COAL ON LOOKOUT.
