The Information leading to the arrest was supplicd by ex-Pollee-OMcer Joseph Huyes, at whose lodging-house, Nu. 1192 South Mulsted street, Dixon kad: been stopping since lust Sunday evening, The plice wns visited yesterday by a 'TrruNe reporter, to whom Hnyvs narrated the ineidents which led him te form the oplulon that Dixon was, possibly, the mun who committed the crime mentioned. He stated that between & and U o'clock Inst Friday morning the man Dixon arrived at his house, pate nnd out of breath, and asked for brenkfast, stating that he wanted It served as quick us possible, While the meal was being preparod be stated that he was thinking of chunging bls bourding-house, and. thut he would like to seo a room which would sult blin- self and partner, who was going to stay with him. Mr, Hayes showed him a number of rooms, and - he finally selected a rvont facing on fulsted street, He sald thon that he and bis partner would be along during the evening, but he failed to put in an appearance until Sunday night. when he made the excuso'that he had been staying In the meantime with his brother, realding on tho-West Side. He stated that be was thon rendy' to begin vourding regularly with Hayes, who intimated that he did business on u purely cash basis. Dixon sili that he hud no money with hinty but that he was working ut Hutchinson's packing- house, and that be would give an onder for tho amount of his week's board, whieh would be honored by the cashier of that establishment, He wished to oceupy the room which he had se- lected tho Friday morning previous, but Mr. Hayes told him that that was occupied, and that iho onty way In which he could accommodate him was to put him In a room with another poarder, named Barrett, promising to let hin haye-tho other room by Wednesdiy cvening, ot which tle, Dixon sald, his partner would put in bis appeurnnes. ‘hia was deemed satisfactory, and Dixon give Hayes the order and shured the room of the young man Murrett. In the morning Marrett gave a terrible account of the manner in which lily bedfellow passed the night, stating that the man was elther crazy or that ho CARED A GUILTY LOAD upon his couselence which would not permit him to rest. Durlug tho enrly part of the night Dixon was so rostless that Barrett was afrald that bis bedfellow was not ag particular in the cnre of his person us he should be, and this sus- plcion made him keep his distapce is much 1s nosaile, Lator un, however, Dixon began tilk- ny to himelf ina wild way, bls constant atlas sion Doing to a recently committed murder ‘which at umes he seemed to glory in, while again he would express remorse fur It. On Monduy morning Mr, layes gave the order on Hurehingon’s cnahier to one of his boarders, who in the eveniug brought back word that no one in the estublisnment kKnuw anything about tho man, Mr, Hayes informed Dixon of this, who stated that he hud given the wrong number on the onder, and, substituting another one, he stated that If the order were presented as ‘amended it would be found to be ull right. ‘During the evening Diron gut uround the saluon and hud very little to say to anybody. Le once or twico bothered Hayes about Sie Tusk, which he wanted to sec, in order to read any- ‘thing there nught be In it conceriing the Archer ayenue murder cuse. Mr. Hayes usaured hitn that there was nothing about ttin the paper of that date, but he seumed restless and anxious upon tho subject. He retired early, und In tho course of the evening the supie bt the house ed AN were aroused by the sound o! uit pistol-shot coming from Mr. Barre room, | Mr, Hayes rushed = up-stairs = and = found Dixon standing in tho — dourwa: of tho bedrvom with a monatrous old-fashioned navy revolver in bis hund, Tho man looked terribly wild, and Mr. Hayes thought from his appearance thut bo had nut quite done shoot, go he leaped upon him and tore the revolver trom hia hand. The man then yoluntecred ¢ explanation that ho was pulling the revolver out of his snchel when the hammer caught in it and exploded tho curtridge, sending the ballinto tho wall opposit, ‘This oxplanation was deained, unsatisfuctory, 18 tho mike of tho revolver, which wasa five-shooter eulf-cocker, Was such that an accident of tho kind described coutd not ocour with ft, Bir. Hayes accordingly declied to tako cebu of the revolver, und, to insure grenter eufcty, he went out upon tho prulric and diachrgad tho remaining loads, which were ouly three in number, one barrel having been emptied some tine. peovlous to Dixon's arrivat, Ou Monday night Dixon repeated bis antics of tho night previous, making hinself soobnoxious: to his bodefellow, Durrett, that. in tho mocrutiug he told Mr. Huyes he would sooner leuve the house than sleep with him again. Tho other Dourders, too, had begun to be warmed, Tho reyolver eplaode hnd exolted tholr feurs to 2 great oxtent, and the stories which Hurrett told of bis companton’s nooturnul utterunees were of a nature to still further alarm them, und thoy the landlord to yet rid of the now boarder, He, however, declined to trko iin- mediate avtfon, and Instructed, ex-Constable Peter ¥, Connelly, who boards with him, to nc- company Dixon to tho Stock: Yards in the’ morn- ing und have tho matter of the order fur moucy Butlefactorily settled. On tho way thero Mr. Connolly was enter- tained bye hig companion with a vivid description if he only hil his trusty revolver with him, ho could yet away with some polleemen whom thoy met.
