Confession of One of Them. Funeral of the Victim—Excitement and Threats of Lynching—The Coroner's Inquest To-day. No crime in this District has caused so much general excitement and indignation since the killing of the peddler Rogerski by Tom Wright a few years ago, and the murder of Hahn, the Grover, by the colored ruffian Young shortly afterwards, as the brutal assassination of young Hirth, on P_ street, last week. Wright and Young were both tried, convicted and executed. ‘The retribution that followed these foul crimes. both of which were committed for plunder, had @ most salutary effect, and for some months afterwards no similar crime occurred. The kill- ing of young Hirth, it now appears, was partly for the purpose of robbery, partly for pein Up to the time the coroner’s inquest took a recess last Saturday but iitule light had been shed on this dark deed, and the police authorities and citizens generally seemed disappointed and dissatisfied. Of the nine men who had been arrested on suspicion, six were discharged from custody, and it was on mere suspicion that the other three were re- tained, as nothing was elicited In the testimony before the coroner which would justify thelr retention any longer by the detectives. The three men who were so luckily retained of the nine have since proved to be the very ones wanted. These were “ Babe” Bedford, arrested at 2:45 a. m. on the night of the murder by Ser- veant Saffell 4nd Officer Gantz on Loy pel Sandy Pinn, arrested on the following day by Ofticer McDonald, and James Queenan, arrested Ry Detectives Voss and McDevitt. It should be stated that it is not alone to the officers named that the credit for the arrests belongs, but also to the detective Say generally, Lieut. Jobnson, Sergeants Saffell and Slattery, aud the officers of the second precinct, Lieut. Greer and Officer McDonald, of the sixth precinct, and Lieut. Guy, of the fourth precinet, under whose custody the prisoners had been kept the most. of the time. Tie three men mentioned were retained principally because of the characters they bore, all being known thieves of “ Hell’s Bottom.” Certaim trifling facts and circum- stances known to the detectives, pointed towards Bedford ory as being implicated in the foul deed, it in the case of Queenan nothing but the fact that a lady’s brown figured sik parasol was found on him when arrested, which he could give no ac- count" of, saved him from dismissal on Saturday With the others. © ined, at the results of the hearing, and realizing that the eyes of the whole community were upon them, the officers set to Work at_once with a renewed determination to have the necessary proofs ready at the inquest to-day to fasten the crime where it belonged. Nothing was left undone. Lieut. Johnson, though unable by lameness to leave his station house, kept himself posted as to, movements of the suspected parties in Hell’s Bo.tom, and directed his) men how to act, The detectives were sent out to investigate every thing affording a clue to the crime. THE LAST OF THE FOUR GIVES HIMSELF UP. It was not long before Messrs. Coomes and Acton became aware of these facts, from over- hearing some conversation, that there was a colored man named Ben, Johnson, who had fig- ured among the party of ruffians’ the night of the murder. The work of locating and arrest- ing Ben Johnson was the next thing to be done, and as nearly all their information had to come through persons of color, many of whom It was feared would incline to s¢:een the guilty parties from arrest, rather than co-operate with the outicers, the task of finding this man was a deli- cate one, and of rather doubtful result, but by well-timed hints of persons, whose names may never appear publicly in connection with this matter, and the energetic actions of Officer West, Ben. Johnson was found, or: rather he found bimseif, for he walked into the second precinct, Saturday night, and inquired for Officer West, whom, he stated,'-wanted him,” as he had been told. It appears that West rode out to his house on 12th street, between V and W in search of him during his absence, and on his return, learning this fact, Johnson went straight tothe station house. The station keeper asked him to leave his name, and recognizing it potne name of the man wanted he locked him uj Johpson did not appear at all dismayed at predicament and it was very soon devé eloped aa he was not only a wiiling prisoner but a 38, and did not hesitate to tell a ry of what he knew of the r which fully implicated the three men at mur headquarters, Bedford, Queenan and Pin. THE STORY OF THE MURDER TOLD BY BEN JOHNSON TO A STAR REPORTER, Yesterday morning a representative of THE STaR was accorded an interview with Johnson, He is a fair sized colored boy, apparently about 1S years of age, has rather an intelligent look, and isa light ginger-cake color. en called to the bars of the cell he responded cheeriuliy, and in reply to questions he said: “I have kpown ‘Babe’ ford fortwo or three years; we worked for O'Brien and Queenan and went to school together. I only know Sandy Pinn slightly, and that he lived in Samson street. That night the party had been out singing, hav- ing met at 12th and T streets, and ‘Babe’ pro. posed that they go over towards the Quaker college (19th street) to sing. At the corner of lath” and Samson streets there was a man standing and some boys, and he (Johnson) asked the man, ‘What is the time?’ ‘The man replied, “Twenty-1 -five minutes after 7. ‘They all then walked on, 1 polng down P street, just sauntering along. abe? got ina hurry like, and said, ‘Come on, or we'll be late,’ and after a little while he pickea upastone. A man was walking about 40 or 50 feet abead of them at the time. They walked on, and in a shoit time they had almost overtaken the man, when “ Babe’ ran up and struck himon the head. Tie man staggered, and turning exclaimed, * Don't kill me, Babe, for the Lord’s sake.’ * Babe’ re- plied, striking him again and ocking him goru ‘I've got you how, you S—of a b—, and ing to ix you.’ Queenan then ran up and Frck Ked the prostrate man, and Pinn also struck him.. T said, ‘Don’t kill the man," and then ran away, and Thaven’t seen any of them since.” JOY AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS. Detectives Coomes and Acton had, after thelr Mnvestigation, concluded to arrest Johnson, and the officers of, th the sixth precinct having over. heard a convéfsation implicating him, were also on the lookout for him. Detectives Coomes and Acton were telephoned that Johnson was under arrest, and they took his story, and with the aid of Lieut. Johnson’s men found corroborative proof. These cireumstances becoming known at police headquarters Saturday night, revived the spirits of all present. Major Brock threw wp lis hat, and Captain Vernon, the detectives sent jumped about for joy, and it S before the news spread lke wild- that the whole nest of guilty ruftians had been bagged. While these scenes of re- joicing were being enacted by the officers, THE THREE PRISONERS were close by In their cells singing and laugh- ing and having apparently a high old Ume, as from the first of their capture, thelr desire évi- dently belpg to impress the officers with their indifference ‘and their innocence of the charge tor which they were held. They devoured their meals ravenously, and when thelr supper was brought in and eaten Saturday night they in- | quired what time they would get their break. fast in the morning, and cracked their j about the murder. Queenan asked if they were not going to be permitted to go to the funeral, he wanted to see that man. “Mr. Coomes and {he other oiticers reminded them that It was a very serious subject to joke about, as they might get found out. No intimation was given {hem last night of the fact that John- son Was in custody, and they sang and lauc= tucmselves to sleep in their cells.

While they were eating, quite a number of the detectives and others stood looking on, and they kept up a continuous lively talking about their arrest and the murder. To ‘see what effect it would have, Detective McDevitt remarked, “I can put my eyes on the man who struck poor Hirth the first blow”—at the same time looking squarely at Bedford, who instantly glanced around at McDevitt, and dropping his eyes on his plate muttered, “you won't look at me then.” Turning to Queenan McDevitt sa id, “I can look at the one who caught Hirth by thé neck and the one who commenced to kick him,” looking Pinn in the face. Both glanced up at him and then at each other; all appeared disconcerted, and the cups trembled in their hands as they drank their coffee. They returned to thelr cells, evidently imp it there was something up, but what it was they were lett io - jecture.

Eckloff, In charge of the dective office, by order of Major Brock, took the paisoner Ben Johnson to police heady quarters, where in presence of the police authorities he confronted the three ‘epee and repeated his short story. They all assumed an air of brag- gadocia and detiance, but said noching. After- Wards they were rettimned to their celis and Te- mained very quiet, saying nothing except In a ow conversation among themselyes. A LARGE CROWD followed Licut.Johnson and Sergeant Slattery to headquarters, and It was not jong before from fliteen hundred to two thousand persons, among them many colored oe assembled around police headquat icrs, biocking up the sidewalks and streets, and a guard of police had to be or- dered there to afford protection to the prison- ers and prevent any acts of violence, which it was feared might be made. Johnson's state- ment was taken down in shorthand, and is sub- stantially the same as given above. Seeing that the crowd was accumulating, and fearing that there might be trouble, Major Brock or- dered a detachment of mounted police to head- quarters as an escort to the prisoners in remov- || ing them to the fourth precinct station house, on K and 20th streets, TRANSFERRING THE PRISONERS, At 12 o’clock the police ambulance was driven 7 to police headquarters, with a dozen mount- men. Commissioner Morgan visited the head- quarters and advised with Major Brock as to the removal of the men to the 4th police pre- cinct, and orders were given by the major to ak ‘double quick,” A rush was made for t! ambulance, but no demonstrtaions of violence were made. A large crowd followed on a run, some going by way of Pennsylvania avenue ant others by Way of other streets; and as a precau- tionary measure an additional toree of 50 police were ordered to proceed to the 4th precinct sta- tioh, in case their services were needed. The prisoner Ben Johnson was taken up in a hack, not being permitted to be with the other pris: oners. THE STORY OF THE MURDER TOLD TO THE CORO- NER'S JURY. Coroner Patterson and his jury were on hand alittle before 1 o’clock, A number of prominent citizens were also at the station, attracted there by the large crowd which assembled in the Sireets adjacent to the station. Commissioner Morgan was present most of the time during the taking of testimony. The three prisoners Bed- ford Pinn and Queenan were without coats,they having been retained at headquarters, bloodspots having been found on them.
