PREPARING
CASEY TALKS
TO REPORTER
Tells How He Aud W. C. Cooper
Looted Passengers' Trunks
. ' While Baggage Masters.
Calmly smoking a cigarette" and re
clining at ease John Casey, the young
Goldsboro man who is now confined in
Craven county jail in default of a
5w
bond for breaking into and ste ling
long list of valuable articles W lile
- a
he
was employed as baggage m iter on
the Norfolk-Touthern Railroad, fester-
day narrated to a Journal repo cer the
full particulars in regard to se jral of
the thef ts.
Casey said that before he ha taken
the' position with the road in the capac
ity of baggage master, he had fi try de
cided that thereafter his life w -uld be
one of luxury in many ways. I e had
been informed by his predecesa r that
hundreds of dollars worth of v luable
articles could be secured from .runks
each month without the least - ear of
detection, and that he had s pplied
himself with a bunch of keys f r this
purpose. j
During the first few weeks t at he
wbs on the road, he discovered t at W.
J. Cooper, who was also enga ed as
baggage master on the same rot !, was
doing about as much stealing as ve was
doing. Then the two held a co sulfa
ion and decided to "whack up' with
each Other, or in other words, to 3quai
ly divide their spoils. Thia, Casi y said
was frequently done, but he en phati-
caliy denied having ever seen an ' jew
lry of any description and f urth 'more
stated that he was almost certaii that
no jewelry hnd been stolen by r s co
partner in crime. Clothing of i II de
scription seems to have been the hob
by, tha prisoner even claimed tc have
on a pair of silk hose which 1 3 said
we.etakea from a trunk enroi to tu
Morehead City. - He told of tal ng a
camera from one trunk, acd npor find
ing that it had the owner's nam em
bossed opoirthe handle he placet it ir.
another trunk and took theref om i
arger and more expensive one. Many
of these stolen articles he disposed ot
at rediculously low prices while other
were taken to his home and placed in
his trunk.
The prisoner jeems to think that but
for the fact that Cooper became ecared
and told all he knew in regaids to the
matter to the , detectives that they
would both now be free of any charge,
and for this reason is very bitter in his
denunciation of him. However he h-is
an unfailing helief that he will get oui
of the trouble within a short while and
will be set at liberty. But from the
present appearance of the case, getting
out of jail and being released from cus
tody will not be such an easy matter
as he thinks,
Both of the young men will be given
a preliminary hearing before Justice of
the Peace S. R. Street at the court
house this morning at ten o'clock.

OPEN CAUCUS
liOLPraic
Republican Rtand Patters Do Not
Want Newspaper Eeport-
era at Conferences.
Washington, AogSch.-The chanc
es are thit before th9 thing i settled
there will be a lively interchange of
'Wyre'araiQTtffiiti to have
the caucus run on the wide open plan
so that newspaper men can be present,
if not people genera'ly, having seats in
the galleries of the House of Representatives.':-';
' ' ;;' - I f
So far the idea has hot been advanced
that the public galleries shall be thrown
open, but some of the Congressmen
who do not approve f the open caucus
have ben telling it around that it will
come to that if the movement is not
nipped in the bud. 'y '
The late Senator James B. Beck, of
Kentucky and he was rated as one of
the ablest men who ever served in Con
stress, having been the distinguished
leader of the Democrats used, to de
clare that executive sessions of the
Senate were not ia keeping "with the
pirit of American institutions and in
sisted right along that, except in time
of war or threatened war and to con
jider "treaties the doors. of the Senate
should hot be closed to thftpdblic.
He claimed that it was only on rare
occasions that it shot Id be necessary to
close the doors and k ep the people of
the country .in the dank as to what the
Senators were doing.
What the Republicans in Congress
ire afraid of is that, since Democratic
leader Underwood hat declared iu favor
of the open caucus, it is likely to be
adopted by the party now in control of
the House, and if so, it will not only
d prive them of oppoi tunity to whack
he Democrats for running things in
caucus, but they fear the sentiment
will be so strong through the country
bat they will have t follow suit. -
It has been a pretty well established
fact that the most unjust and infamous
legislation ever enacted at Washington
was hatched up in secret conferences.
and the talk m Democratic circles is
that the light must be turned on in fu
ture. '

J. S. MILLER.. The Fur. Man,
Mystery Snrrounds Finding of Body.
There ii a good deal of mystry sur
rounding the finding of the body of
col rsd man at Wilkinson's P6int last-
Friday morning,'. Investigations have
been made but it was found that no per
son hi s mysteriously disappeared from
that section. If the man had fallen
frum a passing boat his absence would
have been noted and inquiries made,
The body was in such a decomposed con
dition that it was almost impossible for
he coroner to ascertain whether the
deceased had been murd- rd, but the
majority of people hold to the former
theory that he fell from a boat and was
drowned. The matter, however, will
doubtless ever remain a mystery, f;$
