It was well that this precaution was taken, for hardly had the strap been tight ened when the dying man sprang up and attempted to tear hinifelf' free from his fastenings1 "On. onL" he shouted. "Shoot true!'.' "With much effort, bat as gently as possi ble, the policemen who were standing guard forced, him back to his cot, only to have him Jump up again. Three times tills was repeated, and only when he was exhausted did he cease struggling, and then it was to sit up In bed with his forefinger working convul sively at an Imaginary trigger, and go over again the liarrowlng scene of last Friday's deadly battle. Interspersed with his ravings were pit eous r.ncnl? to the nurses and doctors for water or beer. Not an appeal was made to e policeman for these things until he was delirious, and did not know what he was doing. "Water: water! Oh. my God! A drink of water!'' he would exclaim, and then would fall back into delirium. TWO POLICEMEN HELD HIM. When the desperado died two policemen were on cither side of his cot, their liaadi gripping him. Suddenly he became a dead weight In their hands and, looking down,-they saw his eyes droop. They laid him down hastily, a slight shiver passed over his body, and with a long sigh he was dead. Death was cauud by. peritonitis. The statements made by Morris yester day morning before he became delirious were simply a repetition of those made by him the day before. An answer to a telegram rent to O. P. Lawson of JUcQregor, Tex., his sister's Cu4baxil, was received yesterday by Po Ucemmrlally of the St. Louis Police De partment. "Send no more telegrams. Have read papers. Want nothing to do with party. Make your own disposition of ev erything," was the wording of the mes sage.

An tar back as his career can be traced It Is utterly black and Morris admitted before his death that he had many crimes to his credit that no one knew of, and of which he himself had but a faint recollection. According to statements made by the City Hospital physicians. Morris's strug gle for life Is one of the most remark able on record. They are amazed that he lived for three nights and days with four bullet oulids In hli body, two of which reached Ital spots. They can attribute his long fight only to his wonderful I tallty and brute braver'. SOME OF HIS CRIMES. The following crimes are known by the police to have been committed by the dead desperado and highwayman: Itcldlnc up a freight train on the MI'souri Pacific In 1JH.

This was Ma lift rob bery, so far as the police know. As Morris's sister refuses to have any thing to do with the burial of her broth er's body It probably will be burled.vafter. ine inquest, in potter s nem to-morrow.

Garrard Strode, Publia Administrator, gave notice yesterday that he would ad minister on the estate of Albert Rosenaur. the bandit who was killed by detectives rnaay. at is not known wnetner he had any property besides the money he had in his pockets and his revolvers. The woman known as Kfile Rose claims that he had SSi belonging to her when he was killed. She will ask that this be returned to her. FUNERAL OF McCLUSKEY - WILL TAKEPLACE TO-DAY. The funeral of Special Officer James A. Mcduskey will take place this morning at 9 o'clock at St. Kevin's Church. Garri son and Park avenues. The Reverend Father Shea, will officiate. The same police escort will accompany his body to its last resting place, and all arrangements are the same as for yester day's funerals. Burial will be In Calvary Cemetery. McCluskey was a member of St. Kevin's Church, and his relatives preferred that he be burled from there to-day rather than from St. Alphonsust's (Rock) Church yesterday. Tho Coroner's inquest in'the case of Mc Cluskey yesterday was conducted by pre senting a transcript of the evidence In the Shea Inquest to the same Jurors. A ver dict of homicide was returned.

Even at the cost of losing three of the department' best men. the killing of two bandits, the SI. Louis police are proud of the record they have made In giving protection to citizens, visitors and proper ty from crooks since the opening of the World's Fair. The battle with Bandits Morris and Rosenaur at Xo. 122t Pine street last Fri day and the arrest of their partner. Vaughn: the capture of the notorious bank sneaks. Rice and Shine, who were about to work Eorae scheme at the Bank of Com merce Saturday morning, and the quick capture Sunday night of the man who gave his name a John Doe. 3fter the Chestnut treet explosion, are rsults of the unceasing vigilance the department, under Chiefs Kiely and Desmond, has ctpt up since the gates of the World's lair werp thrown open on April 50. Long before the opening of the Exposi tion Chiefs Kiely and Desmond, eo-operat-Ing with the Beard of Police Commission er', began preparations for handling the floating criminal element as well as the local crooks. They knew that a large number of crim inals would be attracted to St. Louis by the Exposition, and prepared to combat them. All expositions have 'been followed, by the noted crooks of this and foreign countries At Chicago they were ever pres ent. Down' at Atlanta, again at -Omaha, next over InFarls, and finally at Buffalo. N. Y.. crooks with. records that fill pages cf Bertlllon-books and reputations In Eu rope, as well as -America, were to be found. OUTSIDE., S3ISTAXCE. Tho St. Louis chiefs knew well enough bow to handle thelr-own city's criminals, but found It necessary to call on outside chiefs for assistance in taking care of the "guns" Jrora other cities;. jnen who had' not been, in -SL Louis, but. were sure to come., and" JjimjuW be' dans;erqusto the community' where they did arrive. 1 WIth the -tnifroval of the Boardfpof Po lice Commissioners! Chiefs Kfely and Desmond, who"-worked togethcrvon all matters pertaining to the protection of citizen", visitors and property, had men detailed for duty in St Louis from six teen other cities. The 'request to the chiefs of these out side departments was that they should send none but trustworthy men: detectives of ability and of known honesty. As a. re sult, sixteen men who are regarded In the cities whence they came as the beet in their departments were sent to St Louis and have beenhere all the time. The chiefs also decided that COO emer gency special policemen should be sworn In for patrol duty. This was done by the Board of Poiice-Commlslsoners. Then It was decided that Chief Desmond should select from the twelve police dis tricts or St. .Louis any men he should need He chose 13) men personally known t'o him and Chief Kiely. or highly recommended by their Captains. Special Officer James McCluskey. who was killed in Friday's battle, was erne of them. These 130 men were put to- work with the thirty-five regular detectives, and spe cial officers in Chief Desmond's depart ment. ( They have worked all hours ot the night and day. Some in the discharge of their duty have gone i without sleep for thirty six hours, and did not see their families for a week at a time. The result has been that the Bertilllon Department, under Superintendent, Shea and his assistants. Tucker and Brennan, has liamlled no less than Zi men whose reputations are known to th- police of all cities. Despite the visit of this large number of crooks. St. Louis has suffered little more from crime since the opening ot the Fair than It does under normal condition-;. PICKPOCKETS SCARCE. On tho big days at the World's Fair, such as St. Louise Day, Fourth of July. Jaoor Day and Missouri Day. have passed by with not as many complaints from citizens of 'pickpockets as are usu ally made after a big gathering at a country fair. Veiled Propliet's night, when It Is estimated 300,000 persons crowd ed the streets, passed without a single report of a -socket being- picked. The detectives as well s uniformed policemen mingled with the crowds and lost no time In arresting any suspicious peraors. As --.result ot their vigilance, sev eral pickpockets and robbers' of Interna tional reputation were found in the hold overs the next morning. Most 'of them were taken to the police courts. Judges Tracy and Pollard have worked In perfect harmony with the po lice. They have assessed heavy fines in all cases where the prisoner could not give a satisfactory account of himself and then save him hours to get out of the city, pay the fine, or go to the Work house. This system has worked admir ably and has aided materially In ridding tr.e city of Idlers, thieves and desperate characters. Many thieves have been picked up wh were wanted in other citlesi These have been sent back to pay for their crimes. The St. Louis Jail is crowded to th limit awaiting trial or sentence. Few crimes have been committed that have not been cleared up promptly. Vnudhn Charged With Robbery. Warrants wens, issued yesterday char ging William Morris and Harry Vaughn with robbery.

ALPIIOXSUS'S CHURCH. AXD CARRY1XG THE ROSi OF DETECTIVE DWYER BETWEEN LIXES OF TOLICE. SHEA AND DWYER FUNERAL ATTENDED BY THOUSANDS. With Every Token of Respect and Honor, the Last Rites for Detectives Who Gave Up Their Lives in the Battlein Room on Pine Street Are Said in the Presence of Great Crowds at Church and Grave McCluskey to Be Buried To-Day. With every token of respect for their memories. John J. Shea and Thomas Dwyer, the detectives killed by W. B. Morris and AJ Rose in the battle In. the room at No. 132 Pine street last Friday, were "buried jesterday with ocelot tho greatest funerals in the history of St. Louis. Eight thousand persons, either at the church, cemetery, or on the street, hon ored the dead, and the cavalcade that escorted the bodies from Sfc- Alphonsus (Rock) Church to Calvary Cemetery, In two columns, was blocks In length. Clubmen, police and citizens alike gathered la one great, avmpatcetic body to pay respect and tribute to the men who had paid duty' price with their lives. The tragedy in which the men met death thoroughly stirred the whole of St. Louis, and the double funeral was a. testimonial of the city's sympathy. Prominent church, police and city officials were near the altar at the church and near the graves. Aa early as 8 o'clock the church was overflowing. Even when the doors were opened at 7 o'clock many people were sitting on the steps waiting: By t-XO o'clock, the time for the services, many hundreds had turned away, unable even to get within the vestibule. Many of these went direct to Calvary Cemetery, so that, when tho procession arrived, ail cpace around the open graves had been occu pied. So anxious were the people, espe cially the women, to get close, that the police had difficulty In clearing the way for the services at the grave. Along Grand and Florissant avenues the sidewalks were lined for blocks, and men stood with bared heads as the double procession passed, headed by a mounted police es cort 'of forty men. under Captain McXa mee, and a full squad of patrolmen, un- oer T. Kosser Roemer. drillmaster. TRAFFIC BLOCKED. By Vm time the escort of the body of John J. Shea arrived from the home. No. OTIS' Thomas street, at the 'church at J:15 o'doclc almost all traffic at Grand and Finney avenues was blocked. It was nec essary that Grand avenue cars be turned west on Finney avenue, and all vehicles were directed from Grand avenue two blocks each side of the church. The white casket, escorted by ten po licemen and a Sergeant, was met at the door by the Reverend Father Terrence Clarke, celebrant, all of the acting and associate clergymen, accompanied by four altar boys, and sprinkled with holy wa ter. Fifteen minutes later the black coffin of Thomas Dwyer, with a. like es cort, arrived from the home. No. IS33 Ber nard street, and was taken into the church with the same ceremonies. Behind the crucifix the bodies were taken up the center aisle and placed be fore the sanctuary, with lighted candles set on each side. Tear-by seats were re served for the mourners, police and city official?. In the sanctuary were the .well-known St Louis clergymen the Reverend Father McDonald of St. Ann's Church, the Very Reverend Joseph A. FIrle, Prlvincial of the Redemptorlst Order; the Reverend Fathers Zlegler of St. Malachy's Church and Timothy Dempscy ot St. Patrick's Church. Solemn requiem, high mass was celebrat ed by the Reverend Father Terrence Clarke, celebrant, the Reverend Father R. T- EnwTight, deacon, and the Rever end Father F. Miller, subdeacon. Following the recitation of "De Pro fundls" the coffins again were sprinkled with holy water. During the chanting of the'solemn requiem high mass sobbing L could be heard from the four quarters of the church, but It remained for the eulogy and sermon of the Reverend Father Clarke to sway the people. Chosing for his text, "Eternal rest, give unto them, olr. Lord!" the Reverend Fath er Clarke spoke ot the superiority of the soul over material man, and in closing eulogized the martyrdom ot the detectives. After repeating' the text, the Reverend Father Clarke said. In part: BATHED IN HEARTS OWN BLOOD, "These words were uttered by the holy Mary, mother of the church, and to those who hold the church holy the reason for thi plea to dear. The remembrance of1 our dearly departed. John' J. Shea and Thomas. Dwyer, is near and tender to us. The bodies are at rest as much as they ever will be; but the soul Is the superior and Indestructible part of men. I know that I will and I -feel thatryqn wilL not- only now, but in the future offer prayer for their souls. For that soul is made to the image of man and like God forever. Therefore, the church prays for the eter nal rest of the eouIs. "Their life was a life of sacrifice. The ope lived for his mother and sister, the other for his wife and family. Their lives were sealed by the deaths of martyrs. When we read of our forefathers who gave up their lives for the sake of Chris tianity, we praise them. The soldier who goes onto the battlefield and gives up his life for his country is honored. The mar tyrs of old died for God's sake and the boJIes of these martjrs here before us died for the sake of their fellowmen. "When they received the order for the perilous duty they did not stand back and Eay they could not go. Duty told them to go and they went even to death. Dif ferent times did Shea, tell his mother or sister that some day be might be brought home dead, and I suppose Dwyer told his sisters, brother and relatives the same thing. "They were prepared to do their duty even If it meant death. They were bathed In their hearts' own blood In the perform ance of their duty. They were truly noble and great men, not only to the communi ty and their friends, but they were brave men on duty. No consideration must keep us back from duty, even sacrifice of life is not too much for men of principle. ' "Altogether tbesd men have shown us such a bright principle that we honor their memory, but there might be a little speck of du:t on thetr souls, a debt that God wants paid for little shortcomings. God's Judgment is different from man's. "We shouid not only follow their moral pllnciple, but likewise should assist them. We will all pray for them and remember that we shall die. When we meet Judg ment we should be prepared, that he will find us doing our duty. Then If we shall help our departed brethren, we shall not be let to go unnoticed. For it is said that a cup of water given in his name shall be remembered." After the sermon "Libera." was sung by the organist and the boys" choir of fifty voices. Solemn absolution waa then given by the celebrant and the caskets wera es corted to the door in the same manner as when brought into the church. THRONGS AT GRAVES. The police began forming with the re moval of the coffins to the hearses, at Cook avenue. Captain McNamee's mount ed division preceded. Seymour's Military Band followed. In front of sixty patrol men, thirty members of the Philippine Constabulary, under Chief Inspector George U. Shute. and an equal number of park xuards. The procession was divided into two parts, the white and black for Dwver and Shea, respectively. Preceding the hearses were thirty carriages, containing the po lice and city offlclals and pallbearers. At tit. Louis avenue the patrolmen entered carriages. Kven the horses that drew the hearses and carriages of the Dwyer cor tege were white. One hundred and ninety- seven carriages alone were In the-two col umns, while the individual equipages made the procession almost a halt longer. At II o'clock the procession moved north on Grand avenue, and two hours Utter the last ceremonies had been finished. There were only two stops Jn the entire route to the cemetery, the Fire Department ana an ambulance causing part ot the procession to be held bade lor-a brief time. When me bodies and escort arrived at the cemetery, the flowers, which, bad been taken straight from the homes, were by the graves. Large floral pieces from al most every police district were conspicu ous. The police headquarters and tho de tectives each sent large fioral contribu tions, while members of the families and Individuals had many beautiful tokens. One from the Four Courts at Dwyer"s grave read, "He Died at Hla Post." but the most pathetic of all, largo or small, was a little pillow of white chrysanthemums, roses and evergreens, which bore the In scription.
