Harry Bishop,' he also has had his fun,erai:

In the 'meantime, and once again. '

Chief Clemans discovered yester- '
? ??? <
I day thai Harry uigier matmcj
driving a mule In a coal mine at Vau- ^
dergrlft," Pa. Incidentally orders !
were phoned back to effect the arrest
of Mrs. James Davidson, of Bellalre, '
who Identified the remains as those 1
of her brother, Harry Mackley.
Contlued In our Next
II Is all a very interesting (ihnptfir
lo perhaps, an. Interminable mystery j
and which *v?mi good to be continued
Jn our next.
When Mrs. Davidson Identified the'
body, she made statements that led
the police to think her brother was
toads away with by a man whoso
UHme she gave, and who had a grievance
against Mackley because of an 1
.alleged wrong done to his daughter.
To follow up the reported clue Chief
Clemans. representing the city, and
Deputy Sheriff Curtis Rice, represent 1
Ing the county, left yesterday fcr
Bandergrlft and Apollo.
Parent* Surprised, "^v.
' They discovered that the man tin-'
tier suspicion hnil worked steadilyjc
from October 4 to 8, contrary to first 1
reports which caused the man to be I
placed under arrest there after word
from this city. Then, when the Chief ,
and Hie deputy sheriff went to a club |
house for dinner at Vandergrift they (
saw Harry B. Mackley's name on the <
club register. Later they discovered /
his parents living up on the hillside, j
Mrs. Mackley was surprised to hear
i l? U'haJ. t
ine news ui Iiei kuiib ucam in ?? ?
Ing Inasmuch as he was still in Van- I
dergrlft, erfijdoyed In a coal mine op- s
era fed by a man named Beck. When r
tol'd (hat her daughter at Bellalre had
identified the body of a dead man see- \
cral .lays ago as that of Mackley the (
mother preceded to brand her daniglt- I
ter as oti'e of the most proficient liars j
in the country. c
An' Elopemdnt Sequel. !
And then came forth the information
that Mrs. James Davidson, according
to the mother's story, was f
sailing under false colors in Bellaire, '
and that she had deserted' flbr hits- '
band and two children last year lo 1
elope with James Owen Hilty, who '
left behind his wife and seven cliil- '
drcn. 1
The elder Mrs. jfaAiey?' Informed 1
the Wheeling men that her daughter's 1
right name was Mrs. Effie Wal- 1
tern,, the legal wife of Reuben Wal- ?
ters. who lives twenty miles distant
from Vandergrift, nntt that James s
Davidson was a name assumed by 1
her paramotts. She added that Hilty. >

to have a message sent to Beli&lre
to cause the arrest of the reput:d
Mr. and Mrs. James Davidson, who
are living at 3755 HarrUon street,
second floor, Bellalre, and Detective
McConnell telephoned this to the Bellalre
police station shortly before
midnight.
Chief Clemhna dispatched his Information

He said that he and Rice were
anxious to catch the night truJn bach
lo Pittsburg from Vandergrlft nnd
that they did not wait tb see Mackley
personally, being thoroughly satisfied
with the inteftew with the yoilng
man's motlier.|
The geoond Funeral.
It will be recalled that MackleyV
sister at Bellalre declared that Bhe
was an orphan, hence her story does
not "gee" with the existence of
Mnckley's father and mother at Vandergrlft.
She was apparently Blncere
in her identification at least giving
that Impression, and was therefore al
lowed to have the body exhumed and
rc-lntered on her promise to bear the
expense of another lot at Ml. Zion
xmeterf. the tody Of the stranger
liad been burltjd Hrm by the Bishop
family.
Aire. Davidson, or Mrs. Waiterd; dedared
that the ring on the tldart
nan's hand was her brother's, of thiit
the was certain, and she was equally
ertaln In her claims of other tell tale
narks and tokens found on the renalns.
The tattooed Initials "H. B?"
bought by the Bishops to stand for
tarry Bishop, Were considered to
itnud for Hurry Rlgler. Mack ley's surtames.
Needless to add, the local police
vere treated to a shock when Chief
'lemans'called up on the phone from
'Itlsbnrg about II o'clock last night,
til their' hard work and trouble
:ounted for nothing and they were
lack where they started.
Three Dead Men.
The stranger with a bullet hole In
its head, was found on me ?n?n
font at 5 a. m. Thursday. October 4,
md a mark on the clothes suggested
fiat he was S. K. Smlih. or Pittsburg,
t few days later he was identified by
he Bishops as Harry Bishop. A
reek later the remains were dug up
ind Mi's. Davidson Identified him as
ler brother. Now somebody else will
lave to* do' srime identifying if there
ire other claimants.
No possible motive for Mrs. Pavilion's
actions has been suggested.
Utogetlier, the case Is without precelent
in local annals.
