WCLURE'S CAREER OF CRIME With Evident Pride the Train Robber Re- lates His Past Exploits, NOT TALKING THROUGH HIS STETSON Prospects that the Police Have Captured a Criminal Who 1s Wanted for Many Orimes—MeClure and His Pals Face the Camera. Twenty-four hours of confinement in $he city jail seems to have had a most softening effest upon the bold and desperate leader of the train robbing gang which has been causing so much trepidation among local railway ofticials. The effect of imprisonment has caused Charles McClure to open his mouth and make a series of confessions which stamp him as a man with enough ‘‘wheels in his head” to supply a bicyele factory, or else as a most consummate villain, who hopes for judicial clemency by freely confessing his orimes. As a matier of fact, he madea “clean breast" of everything to everyono who was admitted to the jail corridors yes- terday. McClure is not a man who would figure as a hero in one of Mr. Beaale's yellow backed 10-cent historics of the wild and woolly west. Ho is too tame looking, and he is a slim, slender young man who would not cause a street car driver to stop at a muddy crossing. But with the aid of anable-bodied gun of 45-calibre, he seems to have had a most subtle hyprotic influence upon railway engineers and with his bland, childlike voice, was able to bring an ex- press train to & full stop, even though Uncle Sam_ had furnished the aforesaid train with his weighty “olumbian stamp of authority. By being able to stop a train at West Side a fortnight ago he seems to have become imbued with his ability as a railway manager. He had golden visions and figured out that by a few minutes of desperate work he would be ablo to keep the gaunt wolf of want from his door for some time and also bo able to boldly face tho jee men all through the summer, p Threatens to Locture, He reckoned without his host, and now he is doing penance in sack cloth and ashes and cven threatens to ascend the lecture plat- form after he has served a useful penal servitude. However this may be, Cal McClure has had a most eventful carcer, and there are few men, who have seen twenty-soven win- ters and as many snows, who can show up such a record. Through the courtesy of Chief S Tue BEep reporter was given an oppor- tunity yestord: ternoon to hear Train- robber McClu upon his past career in crime, nt affair is by no means the first crooked k in_ which he has been engaged. He rts that he was rrested in Chicago as a suspicious but is reticent as to the exact reumstances. He has, however, vey, and it is less than six months since regained his liberty he last v, he was convicted at Lamar, Barton Mo, and incarcerated in the state prison at Jefferson City, Mo,, in September, 1888, He served there until December, 1892, It was there that he learned bis trade as a shoemaki He also became acquainted with many of his fellow prisoners, with some of whom he has kept up a correspond- ence, Very recently he has received lot- ters signed by “Ed,” and “Ed,” he says, represents E. 1. Chans, a convict sentenced from Kansas City for forgery. Chans has since been released, and when last writing to McClure dated his letter from Leaven- worth, McClure, on leaving the peniten- tiary, went to St. Louis, where he worked at his trade until he started for Omaha some three months ago. He became cquainted with Squire soon after his ar- 1 here. he stories told by the three prisoners are inconsistent in many respects. To tell just which ones are telling falsehood and which the truth is the task that the police hope to unravel within the next few days. They were all taken to the photographer’s yester- day afternoon and made no objections to having their features reproduced in black and whit Visited by Rallway Ofiicial In the evening Messrs. Ireland, JPhillippt and others connected with the Missouri Pa- citic road, Chief of Police Scanlanand Mar- shal Templeton of Council Bluffs and others interested visited McClure in his cell and listened to his story. He said that he had been left an orphan early in life, and in fall- ing into a gang of toughs committed an act which caused him to be sent to a house of detention and there he got his first real crim- inal training from older men. He has been a news agent on the Missouri Pacific lines leading out of Kansas City and while follow- ing that occupation learned a great deal about the operations of the road and what men handled the trains. Then he fell into a gang of desperate ex-convicts who planned toroba train, They failed and McClure concluded to go into the business on his own hook. He said that two weeks ago in com- pany with Squires and Bennington he ar- ranged to hold up No. 2 train on the Mis- souri Pacific road. They met in an alley on Fourteenth strect and from there went down Center street to the tracks and picked out a place for the desperate deed. This at the lonely ravine south of tho McClure was golug to hold up the engineer and take him back to the ex- pross car. Ho was then going to order the senger to “stand and deliver, dia not he would blow open the end of the car and use the body of the engineer as a shield when he entered the aperture he had opened with dynamite. He claimed that he could blow open any safe from the top with dynamite and had experimented with so much success that ho had blown in two a two-inch piece of steel. Lost His Nerve at West Side, McClure acknowledged that it was he who stopped the train at West Side several weeks ago, but as his pavtners failed to show up on time and as & switch engine was coming up from South Omaha he ordered the engineer to 2o ahead and jumped from the train, making his escape just as his companions emerged from a dark hollow. He refused to tell who was with him in this deal and in all his talk blames no one but himself. After the trio under arresv had arranged / of No. 2 expross Bennington 181 und gave it to Squires, who pur- sed dynamite with it at Parmelee's, held anotuer meeting after this in an alloy near Fifteenth str and concluded to make the attempt to rob the train on Mon- day night, onc week ago from last Monaay They failed to connect and the attempt Sut- urday failed because of the ne vousness of the wouldbe robbers. MecClure said they selected Monday night as being the best time, because he learnod that Monday night trains always carrvied the nost money. He was told that the Satur- sy night train carried $47,000, and he cursed his luck. Prospects of the Pen, McClure said that he expected to go to the penitentiary, and would serve his sen- tence willingly, He said that when he came out he would be free from the evil influences and compunions of his past life, and looked forward with hope for a short sentence, 50 that he could begin life anew. After making the above extended confes- sion he was called into Chief Seavey's ofice and confronted with Beunington, his col- league who gave him away to the officers. The chief sat between the two men and they glared at cuch other like two animals who thirsted for each others life, but no hostile demonstrations were permitted. The men asked esch other a few important ques- tious, but Bennington did not tell any- thing new. After the chief’s office had been cleared of all but McClure, Detoc- tives Savage and Dempsey me in and laid before the prisoner a compiete set of safe blowing tools cousisting of a power- ful lever brace, several diamond drills, u punch, cold chisel, a bottle of fine powder, & bottle of vil, & hammer with the mall covered with cloth 1w deaden the blow: MeClure was asked if those were his tools. He aenied that he had ever seen them, but his uneasy actions belied his words and the detectives have a strong case agaiust him. Too's Kecently Mud The tools were somewhat crude, but would poor E: WHINESDAY. JUNE 28, 1803, be effective against afihibst any safo. 1t was plain to be sean that 1y had been recently manufactured and the officers have located the shop in which they were made. The tools were left in tho frambling house over Foley's liquid_eafo om-Douglas stroot two weoks ago last Sattrday night. After the gambling house had been closed two burglars effected an’ entrance through 8 back window ! and frightened away while at work R‘Y two men who went up to the rooms to setilo a dispute regarding their card playing abMity. The burglars escapod unnoticed and their tools were found the next hay, The matter was kept quiet until yesterday, when Charles Oat- man, manager of the place, turned them over to the offcers. it has now been learned that McClure had a former partner who was released from the Jefferson City prison a fow weeks ago, who came to Omaha. This partner, whom the officers have under surveillance, is an expert cracksman. Found n ¥airy, On his arrival female friond, known as the “Big Blonde" at Minnie Fairchild's place of resort, who staked him Lo a good suit of clotheés and a sum_of money with which it _is believed he purchased these safe-breaking tools. It is thought that after their un- successful attempt at ‘gopher work" and the loss of their tools caused the ex-convict to drop from the program and McClure began his attempts at train rob- bing. MeClure is a pretty slick rascal, and while it may be that he is telling the truth in his confessions, it is not all improbable that he is working a grand confidence game to get a great deal of notoriety. The officials of the Missouri Pacific road say that they will prosecute McClure and Squires with the utmost vigor, and believe that their days of train-robbing troubles are now at an end. Bennington will probably be set free as soon as his usefulness as a wit ness has expired. Vidoeq W. H. Barnes of the Missouri Pacific ticket office is the hero of the hour, bis associates already having taken steps to present him with a suitable medal indica- tive of their friendship for the man who for nights has wandered the streets alone in search of train robbers and Captain Kidd pirates. Barnes has been a shining example of the amateur dotective ever since Lizzie Borden was accused of murder and he has longed to show his Bradshaw training in some such case as that of last night. When Bennington. the man who squaled on his pals, at into the Missouri Pacific oftice last Thursday he asked for the general manager. Mr. Barnes informed him that the general manager was out, but that he looked after his business. Imagining that he was talking to one of the great rail- road men of vhe country Bennington pro- ceeded to give his “‘pals” the “braco,” and Billy Barnes, clever and astute, wormed out of Mr. Train Robber the whole story. And it is to this quiet, unassuming young man that the whole credit of the capture of last night should be given TN, ST.

The teachers who were not elected naturally fly to the superintendent to find out where the difficulty lay in their particular cases, and the principals who are yet on the anxious seat are desirous of securing every possible inkling as to what the probable action of the board will be when the matter of electing principals comes up next week. Nearly a score of those who taught lust year were not i ded in the list of teach elected last night. Sowe of these may yet be elected, and toward this end they ‘will work and bring all the pressure to bear that they can muster. ‘There will probably be something of a con- test over several of the prineipalships. The completion of the new buildings for the coming year will make the pr 5 several of the schools more ever before, for it is natural for teachers well as othér peoplo to take pride in the ap- pearance and respectability of their sur- roundings. In place of the old wooden sheds that have done service for several years at some of the school sites there will be opened this fall fine new brick and stoue structures with all modern conveniences and comforts, Principals who have plodded along for years in the old wooden sheds will be greatly elated to get into and take charge of these fine new school houses, and if it should oc- cur that some of them fail to secure re-elec- tion they will feel yery sore at heart over the matter.
