Officers Take
Last Kilarm
Murder Man
NICK JARDINO WAS CAPTURED
TODAY AT CASCADE
PRESTON COUNTY.
WAS SEEN NEAR MURDER SCENE
ON SAME NIGHT WITH
HUGE STILLETO.
Nick Jardino is captured. Deputy
Sheriff Thomas V. Buckley and Con
stable W. R. Riggs succeeded in
grounding him up this afternoon at
Cascade. Tlio trip to the Preston
county town was made in an automo
bile. Constable Riggs notified Prose
cuting Attorney Tusca Morris that
Jardlno's arrest had" been made.
The officers ran their automobile
up to the porch of the house where
'the culprit was staying and surprised
him. No weapons were found on him.
The officers will mak? a so.uch at tin
place where he slept l:tst night look
ing for weapons'
On the nigh of the fnurder Jardino
boarded the last car out of Fairmont
at Shinnston and rode to Haywood
where he got off. He carried a bag
of oranges. Ho spilled the oranges in
the car. When he stooped over to
pick up the fruit Conductor Powelll
noticed the big stiletto in his hip
pocket
Three men got off the eight o'clock
car coming to Fairmont at Everson
the night of the tragedy. This was
an unusual thing for it is seldom that
a passenger gets off a northbound car
at Everson. The Everson people
travel toward Fairmont and those who
get off the cars at that point are
from south bound cars.
Jardino had time alter the crime
had been committed'to make the car
at Shinnston and the street car men
are sure that It was he that they car
ried to Haywood.
Deputy Sheriff Thomas V. Buckley
and Constable \V. R. Riggs went to Cas
cade, W. Va., today in search of Nick
Jardino, one of the alleged black hand
ers and the man who escaped from the
officers by swimming the river. The
trip was made in an automobile as far
as Morgantown and from there by
train.
Coroner Frank Lloyd was ready to
start In on the inquest this morning,
when Charles Greer, formerly of this
city, informed Prosecuting Attorney
Tusca Morris that Jardino was at Cas
cade. It was from that vicinity that
Jardino came to this part of Jthe coun
try.

Seventy-five
Newsboys Eat
Turkey Dinner
Guests of West Virginian
Do Justice to a Delicious
Repast.
Swimmnig Pool of the Y. M.
C. A. Open for Their Ben
efit This Afternoon.
Seventy-flve newsboys wore the
guests of the West Virginian at a
turkey dinner served by the King's
Daughters of the People's Temple.
The boys were provided with free
tlcke?s which were distributed for the
paper by the Fairmont News Company
and the Marlon News Agency.
At 1:30 o'clock the Juvenile news
venders gathered at the West Vir
ginia building In Monroe street and
from there went to the Y. M. C. A.
building, whore they were . regaled
In a splendid manner. ,
It was a happy new year for the
boys and they enjoyed the repast only
as boys can. They had the time cf
their lives and it was a pleasure to
see them around the table.
Mayor Bowen made a short address
In which he said many helpful things
tothe aspiring youths.
The mayor made a hit with the
>oung future mayors, councllmen and
policemen of the city. He told tho
joung business men that he and they
had the honor of being tho only In
vited guests of the occasion and spoke
very highly of the thoughtfulness of
the West Virginian in remembering
the boys in such a substantial man
ner. Before the speaking commenced
Mrs.AUle Haymond had distributed
whirllygigs and rattle boxes to the
boys and at the close of the mayors
very happy speech ho proposed three
cheers for the West Virginian an?t
never was such a din of noise heard
in the city when the seventy-five boys
all turned loose with their nolsemak
Ing/dovices. If a dozen threshing ma
chines, a hundred motorcycles and a
half dozen dynamos and all the other
nolso making machinery that could be
imagined had beon turned ln?o the
T. M. C. A. building they could not
have competed with the boys in the
'amount of noise that was manufact
ured on thlB occasion.
After the mayor had finished his
remarks, Mr. W. J. Wiegel, business
manager of tho _WestVirglnian who
was toastmaster of the occasion in
troduced Rev. J. C. Broomfleld as an
ex-newsboy and Dr. Bromfield gave
the boys a most Inspiring talk. He
stated that he was talking to the com
ing preachers, lawyers, doctors, and
business men of Fairmont. He recited
his experience as a newsboy and the
help that this work had beon to mm
under very adverse circumstances.
Tho boys seemed rather chummy with
Dr. Bromfield. It seems that they
remember him for a talk he gave at
the Miller school building some time
ago In which he used a graphaphone
and they very affectionately referred
to tho esteemed Dr. as "graphaphone"
Broomfleld which he took in very ex
cellent part
It can be truthfully stated that there
was never a more enthusiastic meet
ing held In Fairmont than the news
boys' dinner. Tho enthusiasm was
spontaneous and uproarious. After
the speaking was concluded the toast
master told the boys they would bo
permitted to take a plunge Intov.the
swimming pool of the Y. M. C. A. and
without waiting for the conclusion of
the announcement they made a bee
line for the door and were only re
tarded to hear the finishing part of
the program by closing the door in
front of them.
They were given a most excellent din
ner, a fine turkey dinner, with all the
necessary trimmings and accessories,
and after the first fo wcourses were
served the boys commenced to let
their belts out and kept the ladles
on the trot to the kitchen to keep the
good work going on The dinner was
finished with a fine selection of Ice
cream and cake and the satisfaction
of the occasion could be read in the
countenances of the little business
generals whose expressions were as
open as a book
The event was so successful that
It will in all., probability become an
annual event with the West Virgin
ian. The boys were certainly started
on the New Year right They were
not only well fed, but they were giv
en advice by both the Mayor and Dr.
Broomfleld, which they will long re
member and no doubt It will be a
great inspiration to them.
The boys who were present as the
guests of the West Virginian included
all the news boys in the city and tho
dinner was not limited to those who
handled' the West Virginian * only.
