Had a Mania for Kissing. James Williams, who says he ts clerk from Philadelphia, reached Pater- son, N. J., the other day in search of em- ployment. As soon as he arrived a kiss- ing mania seized him, and he could not restrain his desire to hug and kiss every girl he met. The passion grew so rapidly upon him that he boarded street cars and hugged and kissed the passengers, escaping be- fore the astonished conductors could cap- ture him. Policeman Peter Zeluff was sent to arrest him. He found him near the Market Street Church just as prayer meeting had been dismissed. Williams wae in the act of hugging a pretty girl.

JEWELS AND SILVER WARE FOUND Hid His Plunder in a Trunk Near Richmond, Virginia. EXAMINED TODAY Insanity will perhaps not be the plea of George Taylor, allas Jones, who is the original and only “Jack the Slasher,” for his conduct has undergone a great change since the officers first arrested him. When there was only the one case against him he was insane, but now that evidence in about fifteen cases has been procured, he realizes that he can no longer work the in- sanity dodge to any advantage, and that the penitentiary, and that for a long period, is his only hope. Realizing this, as he does, he has given the officers information from day to day until now a large part of the unslashed plunder has been recovered, and there are cases enough against him to send him to state’s prison for the rest of his natural life and a little more. Taylor is by no means the ignorant and unsophisticated countryman he endeavored to show himself. He is a shrewd criminal, and even in his earlier deys on a farm he showed a degree of smartness and a desire for a taste of city life that is seldom seen in a man brought up in the back woods of Virginia under the circumstances that sur- rounded him. His father, although poor, owned a farm about eighteen miles from Richmond, but the road connecting his place with the capital city of the old do- The Siastler. minion was worse than the “Rocky road to | Dublin,” rendering the family almost cut off from _civilization.- Scipio Taylor, his father, is a man about | sixty years old, who is still living on the farm, where his third wife conducts the affairs of the household, and where several | children of the different mothers help do | the farm work. When but a mere youth George showed a desire to free himself from the covntry surroundings and start {off for pastures new, where he had an idea he could store up for himself untold | wealth. He had worked hard and always took a pride in his dress, making himself @ favorite among the faster elements of Hanover county colored society. Trying City Life. Visions of city life had entered the young man’s mind,and, having saved a few dollars, | he concluded that he would go to Richmond, s that to him was an ideal city, and it was the place where he expected to gather his fortune. And so he went there, but be- | ing suspected of complicity in two burglaries, | of which he was perhaps guilty, he suddenly | departed and went back to the country | Sul farm life failed to have any further a | tractions for him. He got tired ef following | the plow and harrow, and at last he con- cluded to come here and see his uncle, which jhe did. This was during the latter part of the summer or early in the fall. One visit to his uncle's house safisfied him, and then, as a poor boy, he succeeded in getting the use of the stable loft as his place of abode. Here he remained until the time of his ar- rest, as heretofore published in The Star. As already stated, the prisoner was at first | uncommunicative and assumed the conduct of a man with a disordered brain, but he subsequently weakened and has told of the | whereabouts of some of the plunder. Hunting the Plunder. Detectives Weedon and Horne, who went to the home of the prisoner's father, as stated in Wednesday's Star, had a rough experience in the country, and recovered an immense amount of the property taken from housés here. 1t was about 7 o'clock in the evening when they reached the Virgina capital, and there they saw Sergeant Tomlinson and Officer Scheif. These officers were perfectly willing to accompany the Washington officers. They soon learned that Scipio Taylor, the father of the famous “Jack,” lived not a long distance from Atlee station, about fif- teen miles from the city, but when they reached the station that night they were surprised to find that the old man lived more than five miles from the railroad. There was no magistrate there from whom they could get a search warrant, neither could they get a team to take them to the old man’s house. And so they returned to Richmond and remained over night. Yesterday morning, bright and early, the four officers hired a buckboard and’ two horses and started over the rouzh road in the direction of the house in which “Jack the Slasher” had spent his younger days. At a place called Shadow Grove the of- ficers stopped, and from Magistrate Timber- lake they procured two warrants—one for “ed a ped oe father, and the other for the house of Frank Taylo: * bromer, lor, the prisoner's Along the road they drove until they Feached the Taytor farm, and there. they ound ol man Taylor gettin, in the seed for his summer rapid sacs “Good imoming, Mr. Taylor.” was the manner in which the old man w: by the officers. uae aci= “ca The Valuables Found. The latter were strangers to the old man, who seemed somewhat puzzled at being so recognized by so good looking a party of gentlemen. He seemed delighted at the idea of being so highly honored, but before they departed the old man shed a few tears at the thought of his son being in so much trouble. ‘The appearance of old enough to convince the officers of his hon |esty, and when in the field he threw a damper over the party by telling them that George had no valuables at his house. But the officers thought they would see for themselves, and so they went to the hous They learned from his father that he hai paid three short visits home since his firet departure for this city, but he always reach. ed there at night, and if he had brought anything with him his father did not know oni ey —_ not brought any trunks or valises with him, nor had ve father any money. fe silieseniaate But the old man the officers that the house, which was locked, and he not the slightest objection to their inv gating its contents. mgd gee tchet soon had the lock off the and when the lid was Talsed, the ‘olfens saw at a glance that their r vain.

Identifying Property. This morning at police headuarters the plunder brought from Virginia was spread on Inspector Hollinberger’s desk, where it remained during the day for the victims of the slasher to look over. The first article identified was a silver watch and chain, the property of Leow Arnold, taken from the house of Maj. Brooks, on High street extended, where the work of the siasher was felt, as !€ was at other houses. A watch teken from the house of Nick Young, in Mount Please ant, and the handsome pearl necklace tak- en from Mrs. Wall's house, on Pomeroy street, were also identified. Others cam@ in during the day and identified various pieces of jewelry and clothing, and the officers are now certain that they have fully twenty cases of burglary ogeinst the prisoner. Precinct Detectives Burrows and Barnes worked on the case all day yesterfay and succeeded in recovering several pieces of property. A more thorough search of the loft in which the negro lived for some days previous to his capture was made, and secreted in the flooring beneath a of cotton was a book issued by the Pere petual Building Association, showing a de- posit of $50 made by Taylor on the 6th of February, and on the rafters the officcrs found several pieces of jewulry, a $5 gold piece and $1 in silver. In the sleigh was a broken china cup, and this was identified as having been taken from the residenc® of Mr. David Lusby, in Georgetown. Was a Miser. During the exploits of “Jack the Slasher*. there were no large amounts of money, taken, the $70 taken from the house of Mra.! Wall being the largest amount secured at any one place. At other houses amounts ranging fom $2 to $10 were taken. The statement made yesterday that Taylor was a miser, as well as a thief, 16 shown by the investigation of the officers, and the indications are that during his. stay here he never spent a dollar unless |it was for ratircad fare, when he went | home to hide bis plunder, and even then | he may have beaten his way on the cars and tramped home. He is known to hav, worked at several places for his meals, an he was cunning enough to appear honest at these hcvses and not steal anything, for then he might have been detected and his slashing operations made known. In addition to the building association, deposit of $50, the officers found in the chest |at his country home a bank book showing | a deposit of $112, and these, together with | the money found in the stable, and make @ total of $168. An Accomplice Possible. “Did Taylor have an accomplice?” is the question that is now agitating the minds of | the police. ‘ In his pretended insane ramblings he said that another man worked with him, but the recovery of the money and jewelry, the Police think, indicates that Taylor worked alone, as there was evidently no “divide” of the plunder, and the footprints of more than one person at the houses where the | Slashing was done probably had no con- nection with the slasher’s work. | On the other hand, it is thought possible that Taylor, being a shrewd man, did the | stealing while his accomplice did the watch- jing and kept what he took. The slashing | Was done for the purpose of throwing the officers off his track and leading them to believe that the work was being done by an insane man, or by a man with one of the peculiar manias with which criminals now claim to be afflicted. The robbery at Fort Myer has been traced to Ta as published in yeste>. Gay's Star, and at that place the removal of a large and heavy chest, the officers | think, could not have been done by one’ ‘man, although there is nothing delicate about Taylor, and it is possible that he | carried the heavy burden alone. | Peter Hunter, the man arrested and hela for the robbery at Lawyer Holland's, was released from jail yesterday. Picking Out Jewelry. ‘The prisoner taken to police heat. | quarters this morring, and he was accom- modatirg enough to pick out @ifferent ar ticles of jewelry and tell from where he had taken them. Detective Horne had a | private talk with him in a room on one of |the upper floors, and when he returned to Inspectcr Hollinberger’s room and saw several officers, repcriers and others he be- came nervous and frightened and acted like a man who feared that mob law would prevai' and he would be lyrched. But De. tective Horne disebused his mind of any such ‘dea, and he beceme more reconciled, Taylor unable to read or write, bug during the slasher excitement a colored Woman read to him an accovnt of his oper. ations of the night before printed in The Star, and he exhibited interest enough in the story to ask that she read tt again, and e remarked: “And they didn’t cotch S “I believe you are ‘Jack the Slasher,” ro. marked the woman to him, jokingly, ang George simply siniled. Conflicting Statements. To a Star reporter Taylor said that he never drinks anythirg, and while here he had no companions. “I don't know whatever made me @@ these things,” he said. | He stoutly denied that he had any com. | panions he either male or female, al. | though yesterday he said that a white mag from Rappahannock, Va. had been with him and done watching. This man, he said, had been in the habit of loafing about the “Division.” Detective Horne made in. quiries about this man, and learned t he had been in the “Division.” There ts no evidence. however, that he was in any way connected with the slasher except the bare statement of the latter made yesterday, During the investigation today it wag discovered that there was no slashing done when his first robbery Was committed in August, but when he commenced the wholes sale business he used his knife, causing hundreds of dollars damage. Inspector Hollinberger ts thoroughly sat. isfied that the prisoner is not insane, but,‘ to the contrary, he is of the opinion that thief, and the other j he is an expe oMcers! share in this belief. i The si: ing, Inspector Hollinberg, thinks, was done to cover his tracks as/ much as pessible, and also for the purpose of putting the insane fdea in the minds ct the officers. This, the inspector thinks, | was undoubtedly ‘his idea, and after his | capture he did his best to make insanity his excuse for his many crimes, This afternoon the prisoner was measurea and photographed for the rogues’ gallery| and returned to the police station.
