' ' WPOLICE Ml • JI Ji JOB. Two Burglars Captured, and They Confess Several Crimes. -_ j The Stolen Goods Recovered, and the Prisoners Held to Court. Georgs Emblen and William O Neal Captured for the McNamee, Hein er and Williams Robberies—The Stolen Goods Found Buried on the G. W. Nichols Farm, Beyond Mt. Wood-The Property Fully Identified—Emblen Suspected of the Dinger, Kenney and Etzler Robberies —A Colored Man, Im plicated in the McNamee Rob bery , Still at Large. The police did a good job, yesterday, j and they are entitled to a great deal of; credit for the work. They solved the problem of the Mc Namee, Williams and Heiner robberies, and have good cause to suspect that they have also got to the bottom of the robberies of Kenney s tea store, the theft of $50 from Dinger's hat store, ; and the stealing of Dr. Etzler's bicycle. I Two of the guilty parties, W iliiam O'Neal and George Emblen, are in cus- , tody, and most of the stolen property j has been recovered and is at police , headquarters. j Ever since the robbery of McNamee s jewelry score, which occurred shortly , after ti o’clock on the evening of Au- | gust 6, the police have been working faithfully on the case, and from several facts coming to their attention, and af i ter a careful piecing of the evidence together, George Emblen, who lives at Chapline and Twenty-third streets,was suspected of the job. Several things lead to the suspicion that stolen goods might have been secreted on the Nich ols’ farm. With this idea in view Lieutenant Supler paid three visits to the farm the past week, going twice in one day. but little came of the investi gations, though no fault of the officer s. A quantity of stolen goods were secret ed on the farm, all right enough, but they were not goods stolen from Mc Namee’s, and this slight hitch threw the officer off. The McNamee goods, in reality, were kept at Emblen's home until yesterday morning, when they were taken to the Nichols farm, and* planted with other stuff already there. Matters were in this* indefinite state j when the police got hold of facts which ( confirmed their previous suspicions. Last Tuesday, in a burst of confidence, Emblen told his wife that he had done one of the finest jobs ever known in the city, but that if she would tell any i one he would kill her. Mrs. Emblen has long been familiar with her hus- j band’s worthlessness and criminal in stincts and practices, and determined j to put an end to the life he had been j leading at once. She accordingly Told Mrs. Rogers, a neighbor and friend, of what happened, and when Emblen gave his wife four diamonds, part of the proceeds of the McNamee robbery, she handed them over to young Rogers, who took them to McNamee for identi fication. The stones were recognized as a part of the property stolen from the jewelry store, the police were noti fied, and then four imitation diamonds, of similar size and appearance, were re turned to Rogers to give back to Emb len. The four real stones were valu ed at about $350. Emblen detected the fraud, and as a result whipped his wife Friday night, and yesterday morning determined to remove the stolen pro- | perty from his house and hide it on the ' farm, where other stolen goods was already planted. Yesterday morning, the police, realiz-1 ing that matters were reaching a crisfe, I went to work harder than ever, and j Emblen was closely shadowed. Lieu- J tenant Dan Ingram promptly learned j that the suspect had gone to the coun try in a buggy, with two baskets which [ appeared to contain something, but the contents were concealed from view. Lieutenant Ingram promptly hitched i up a buggy and got on the trail, and j he arrived at the Nichols farm soon af- j tern Emblen. Emblen had emptied his i baskets and filed them with apples, and ! was loitering around generally when | the officer arrived. Ingram questioned j him closely, but Emblen was shy, yet! knew that the officer was out for busi- ! ness, and with a view of learning wue- I ther he was suspected or not, asked I Ingram if anything had' been stolen, and whether or not the missing pro perty was chicckens. The officer at- j tempted to draw Emblen out on the McNamee robbery, but with very indif ferent success, and failing to secure damaging admissions told him he | would have to come to town. Still , Emblen dissembled, and asked several times whether he was to be locked up j or not, and what he was wanted for. He was brought into the city, and taken j to police headquarters, where he soon i made damaging admissions, and finally ! confessed to the McNamee robbery. He ' was then turned over to Chief Bennett, j and at 2 o’clock that officer took Emb-; len in a buggy and went back to the j Nichols farm. He returned at 5 o’clock with his prisoner, and the following list of stolen goods: Belonging to McNamee—Seventeen watches, one pair of diamond ear-rings, five rings with combination sets of dia monds. pearls, rubies, emeralds, etc., one solitaire diamond ring, and three brooches, with fancy settings, contain ing stones. Belonging to Lou Heiner—One tea and coffee set, solid silver, four solid j silver, gold lined bon-bon dishes, six plated forks, one Reed & Barton quad ruple soup ladle, two fancy solid silver, gold lined and enameled spoons, one solid silver, gold plated and enameled sugar tongs, one dozen solid silver, gold plated and enameled after-dinner coffee spoons, one small solid silver, gold lined ladle, ore solid silver, gold plated and enameled butter knife, one half dozen sterling silver, ivory handled table forks, and one-half dozen ditto knives. Belonging to Walter Williams—One swinging silver water pitch* ". This property was found buried in three separate places in the woods on Nichols’ farm, and when it was all spread out at headquarters it looked like some jeweler had move in. With the four diamonds recovered Friday, two diamonds still missing, but which will be obtained in a day or two. and a gold watch belonging to Mr. Heiner. which was recovered two days after the robbery of his Island residence, the, value of the eoods will total up about $1,300. The McNamee goods was found in good shape, but the Heiner property had been damaged, particularly the silver coffee and tea service, which had been defaced by scratching the naqje of the maker and the numbers off the bottom of each pice. Some of the knives were also ruined. On the way out and back Emblen made a confession, which he added to after his arrival at the City Hall. He not only confessed to the robbery of the jewelry store, but also to the rob bery of Mr. Heiner’s residence, on the Island, last December, and the robbery of the residence of Mr. Walter Williams, ahout the same time. He implicated William O’Neal in the Heiner robbery, and that individual was at once arrest ed. He, too. confessed, and both pris oners were taken before Justice Fitz patrick, where the confessions were re peated. hearing waved, and the prison ers were committed 4o jail, Emblen in default of $3,030 in each case, and O’Neal in default of $1,C00. The negro who was with Emblen in the jewelry store robbery will be captured as soon as possible. Emblen is suspected of robbing the Kenney tea store, of stealing a small money bank, containing fifty dollars, from Dinger’s hat store, and also with I stealing a bicycle.from Dr. Etzler. but so far the evidence does not confirm these suspicions. Both men took their arrest very coolly yesterday, and did not appear to realize that they were booked for a long term at Moundsville. As a mat ter of fact, they appear to have stolen the stuff simply for the sake of steal • ing. as they could neither sell the prop erty to any advantage, wear or use it, and didn’t know what to do with it. The only thing they appear to have sold was the watch stolen from Mr. Hein er’s residence, and they only got a few dollars cn that. Yesterday O'Neal volunteered the information to Emblen that “you was a fool to rob the jewelry store." "Well,” replied Emblen, "it’s too late now.” Later Emblen also said: "I hid the stuff two or three times, but every time I moved it, the police ap peared to know about it; I think I must have been crazy.” In talking about the McN^mpe roh bery, and his negro aesisTaiT“ said that the negro was a stranger to him. and that he had never met him until a couple of days before the rob bery. He said he told the fellow he knew of a good thing, out of which he could make a good deal of money, and that on the day of the robbery he and the negro stood on the east side • of Market street, just above the postof fice, and watched the last.man leave the store. They then went around the back way, and the negro broke the back door open. After getting inside the negro said: “Look here, boss. It won’t do for a black man to take dem goods nut ob de window. White man have to do It.” Emblen accordingly went to the win dow and removed the goods, which they later packed up and carried away from the store. The colored man was to have met Emblen last Monday, to divide the proceeds, but he did not come to time. -—o FOR SALE. • Two-storv brick building, lot 40x100 feet, corner Main and Fifth streets.

Ballock Will Construct the City End of the Elm Grove Electric Line. Yesterday the Wheeling and Elm Grove Railroad Company awarded the contract for the construction of the city end of the Wheeling and Elm Grove electric railway line to L. G. Hallock, the well-known local contrac tor. Mr. Hallock’s contract calls for the furnishing of all material as well I as the work of construction, and he is to turn the road over to the company complete on the first of November. As the Register has heretofore stat ed, the work throughout will be of the latest and very best nature. Although the ordinance only calls for rails ! weighing eighty pounds to the yard. I ninety-pound girder rails will be laid ! down, and excavation will be twenty one inches deep, with six inches of j broken stone in the bottom. It has I also been decided to use steel tubular I poles, which costs twice as much as i wooden poles, but look better and will last very much longer. The city line is 2.35 miles in length, i from the corner of Fourteenth and j Water streets to the bridge from the | Peninsular into Fulton. .Work will be ( j started just as soon as the material i can be procured, and it will be pro j cured with all the haste possible, as ; it is desired to push the work right along. In all the work the preference will be given to home labor and a I good many men will be employed. In addition to putting in heavier rails than the ordinance prescribes, and the erection of steel tubular poles, the com pany will pave with new fire brick the space between the rails and one foot on j each side thereof, where the streets are I paved with brick, and in addition, and , again doing better than the ordinance prescribes, they will pave between the rails and one foot on each side of the track where the street is not paved at all, thus making a substantial improve j ment of itself, and leaving the city with the mere work of completing the paving to the curb lines to have a completely j paved street over the whole rodte within ! the city, except, of course, on the Penin sula. In other respects the company will do more than it Is required to uo, notably in the instances of the bridges over the creek, from Baker stret to the Penin sula and from the Peninsula to Fulton. The city ordinance merely required that there bridges be widened and strengi»T<*n ed. The company will build entire new bridges at both places, at very consider able Increased expense, but it believes in doing all that the law requires and then something more. The total cost of the work, including the new bridges, within the city, will bo about sixty thousand dollars, and when to thi9 Is added the cost of the new line to Elm Grove, the outluy for a new power house, for new cars, and other things some idea o^Khe total expense may be formed. he Wheeling and Elm Grove Company means business, as it has from the start, and will show Its faith by its works.
