6 SHIELDS IS TAKEN IN. The Watchman Charged With Raping Mary Zens Found At His House By the Police Who Took Him at Once to the City Prison. He Denies the Truth of the Charge Entered Against Himself. John Boyle Acknowledges that He Is Something of a Liar Himself. Henry Shields, the night watchman charged with the rape of the insane woman, Mary Zens, or Zeinke, in the county jail, on the night of Oct. 18, has been arrested. He was found about noon by Detective Daly at his home on the farm near Forest Lake. The detective says that when he went to Shields' place, Shields came to the door and rec ognized the officer. He seemed quite well aware of the officer's mission, and he gave it out quite coolly that he had read the statements published in the papers. He appeared calm and uncon cerned, and he offered no resistance. Detective Daly says he apparently, al though cognizant of the grave charges, had made no effort to get away. The neighbors all around there, the officer says, give Shields a good name. He was locked up in the police station in a cell a little before 4 o'clock yester day. Chief Clark knew he was coming, having already received word, and he and Detective O'Connor were on hand to see him brought in. Shields was in terviewed outside his cell and there were several persons, mostly police officials, present. If his demeanor betrayed any feeling it was that of annoyance. He walked out of his cell as if bothered rather than worried, but he permitted his large dark eyes to glance cautiously at everybody present, and stood up with something of a languid attitude, ready to be subjected to the inquisition, what ever it might have been. He is tall and would be regarded as an average good looking young man. his physique indi cating strength, and his features assum ing an honest cast. His eyes sparkled, and although very expressive, there seemed to be in them an effort to conceal something. He was ALTOGETHER MYSTERIOUS in his general bearing, and would fre quently hesitate and look around before making an answer. The following con versation then took place: "Mr. Shields, I suppose you know what you have been charged with":" "Yes." "They are pretty grave charges." "Yes." "Where were yon when arrested?" "At home, at Forest Lake." "Did you do what you arc charged with?" "I did not." "Where was Kramer?" "I don't know." "Where was Frank Picha?" "He was in the jail." "Where was Peterson?" "I don't know." V *■*■ "Did Peterson catch you?" "He did not." "You know what are the charges Peterson makes against you?" "Yes.,? "Are they true?" •'No." "Peterson had been out, had he?" "I think he had." "But he was in the building?" "I think he was." '■What time was it?" "A little after 10 o'clock." "Where were the women?''.. "Up stairs." "Mr. shields, these women were supposed to have been locked up up stairs in the guards' corridor, and, as night watchman of the jail, you had the keys, and you were the only man who could unlock the door and let the woman down stairs. Why did you un lock the door?" •Hesitating). "I had to walk around the corridors every hour, anyway." "Why did you let the woman down stairs?" "I let her out because she was making a noise." •'Why?*' "She made a good deal of noise." ''Kramer was down stairs, wasn t he**"' "Yes." "And somebody came to the door?" — "Yes." "It was Peterson?" "Yes." "Where was Kramer?" "He was down stairs." "Did you ever know this woman before?" "She was known around town pretty well in a kind of way, you know." ••Did you ever know her before?" "No, I never saw the woman before." "Do you think the Burner woman set this Insane woman up to it; told her to expose herself and yield to you, all that sort of thing, you know?" "No, I don't think she did." "Did the Burner woman ever talk to you or you to her?" "Not much. I know who the woman is. I have known her ever since she came into the jail. I didn't have much to say to her." ,'Do you think the Burner woman is at the bottom of the whole business?" "1 don't know as she. is." "You know a good deal more than you care to tell, don't your" "1 don't know any more than I stated to the grand jury." ••Where" were you at the time of the coron er's inquest?" 'I was stopping up on Jackson—at 216 Jackson. I was stopping there that night with a friend." "You knew you were going to be dis charged?" "Yes. I had been getting tired of it, any way." "Have you any statement to make in con nection with these charges?" "No. I will make my statement when ray trial comes off. I will have something to say then." "Have you employed an attorney?" "No; 1 haven't yet." There is, as can be seen, a good deal of mystery in the answers Shields makes. This was also apparent in the readiness he manifested to get back into his cell and escape further questioning. He will have a preliminary examination at the municipal court to-morrow morn ing. The grand jury will meet in about four weeks, and then the whole mystery may be solved. HOTLE IS TALKATIVE. John Boyle, the prisoner accused of attempting to break jail, is a good deal more communicative. But it is hard, under the circumstances, to decide whether to believe him or not. Boyle's case came up for the last time in the municipal court yesterday morning. No Kramer was present to testify against him, so Judge Cory said: "Mr. Boyle, you are discharged." He was released accordingly, and was taken to police headquarters, where a private talk was had with him by Chief Clark. Mr. Boyle now says that he lied when he retracted his legally false accusation against Kramer, to the effect that Kra mer had furnished him with the'saws. His attorney, Mr. Butcher, says head vised Boyle to make the retraction be cause Sheriff Richter had intimated to the prisoner that he could send him to prison for three or four years if Boyle did not retract the counter charge. Mr. Butcher says he did not advise Boyle to do so, however, at the request of the sheriff. Boyle has voluntarily, without being solicited in any way, made the following statement, and it can be taken for what it is worth, and in face of either that Boyle has had to get his lib erty, or he had to implicate Turnkey Kramer: "I was arrested here on the charge of at tempt to break jail. They couldn't produce any evidence to hold, me, and this morning 1 was discharged. The sheriff told me that if I made the statement that appeared in lust evening's paper that 1 would be released. 1 did not do so because he told me, but through the advice of attorneys, with the under standing that I would be released. This statement was made to exonerate Turnkey Kramer from nil blame and to square the sheriff. I hadno money to employ counsel, md rather . than lay in jail I made "this state ment, on the sheriff's promise that he would release me. Kramer handed the knives in through the cubby hole to the corridor. If the public do not wish to take my statement as true, let them ask Dan O'Brien, Frank Johnston, Edward . Flanuagan, William J. Shannon, Clinch and Charles Brasier, and they will state the full particulars in accord ance with what I have said. In regard to the first attempt to break jail by springing the door, of which Uie prisoners were accused and put on bread and water for three days, when this door was sprung, or rather when'the attempt was made, the turnkey was asleep in the chair. His name is Prank Picha. Ask Frank John ston to substantiate this statement. Johnston was intrusted with the keys to the jail, and if he had not been an honest man he could have set all the prisoners free, seveuty-tw* in all. Johnston was in on a charge of high way robbery. The sheriff had not discovered the cutting of the bars and would not have discovered it had it not been for a prisoner named be I'loy, who gave the snap away. The prisoners had been sawing at them - FOII six WEEKS. Le f'roy was the chief man in sawing these bars and the one to give .the game away to Sheriff Richter. Sheriff Hit-liter made no Search or investigation until LeCroy had told him of it. When Kramer said he caught me sawing these bars, he reported it to the sheriff. The sheriff came in and said it was a pretty good scheme. He came to me and asked me where. the saw was. 1 told him I knew nothing about it. He gave me ten min utes to produce the saw. 1 did not until he brought fourteen prisoners to the bars, told them he wanted the saw or file pro duced or he would punish them severely. Dan O'Brien handed out the saw and 'fun-key Peterson identified it as jail property. " I was punished for this of fense, handcuffed on bread and water for one <*ay. He told me the next time would be for twenty-four hours. About this bill of fare: It was oue thing right along for six days In the week, with no change whatever. In re gard to these insane women, I saw them run ning around there with uo clothes on. The turnkeys had her down stairs and she re sisted being taken outside and begged for mercy. They then kept her inside. Another female prisoner in there was named Dickin son. **"hey were afraid she would squeal on them and wanted the court to pronounce her insane. I called the turnkeys attention to their criminal actions and tney told me to shut up. for fear the public might get hold of it. Any one who doesn't believe this can ask O'Brien or any of the prisoners. They accused the Y. M. C. A. of nutting saws and things throuch the bars, and wouldn't allow them iv the jail: also the W. C. T. U. No visitors or friends are allowed in there, and every one going in there is accused. No one hut the turnkeys put any thing in there and I can swear to every thing I say. John Boyle. THE DIXON •WOMAN. There is another thing that makes talk, namely, the release of the other partly insane woman, Josephine Dixon. This woman made some very serious statements in connection with one of the jail officials, although it has turned out that she was mistaken in the identity of the man. County Attorney Egan ap peared as soon as Judge Kelly's court opened yesterday morning, 'and In formed the court that the doctors who had examined her at the probate court decided that she was not altogether of a sound mind, and that if she was allowed to remain in jail she would very prob ably soon become insane. It was not a proper place to keep female prisoners anyway. Accordingly at Mr. Egan's suggestion the court reduced the wo man's bail to §300 and - she was allowed to go on her own recognizance. FURTHER STATEMENTS. Shields Says He Can Tell a Story "When the Time Conies. Another visit was paid to the cell of Henry Shields last night between lOand 11 o'clock. He was found sitting up on one of the long benches, and looking thoughtfully out of the cubby hole. A strange brightness about his eyes seemed to have changed their color to a light blue, aud they were full of smoth ered anxiety and worry, "lwill have a good deal more to say at the trial." he answered after several questions had been put to him, "1 will then tell the truth and all the truth. Yes, I believe the whole thing is a trumped up affair. Of course I believe the charges are all trumped up against me. Who is re sponsible for it? Maybe I can tell when my trial comes off. I will have a good deal to say then, you bet. 1 should say they are lies. My reputation has al ways been good from my youth up. I won't leave out anything in my state ment when 1 have my trial. I have al ways had a good name for honesty, and for respectable behavior to women. I don't know what I will say until 1 see my lawyer. My father has. been looking for a lawyer. 1 don't be lieve 1 will ever go to jail. 1 should say I could get bonds enough. I have lots of friends in St. Paul. I saw the paper last night (Friday). I didn't try to get away. The detective came about 12 o'clock. I knew what the officer, came for, and I did not try to resist him or anything." When he was informed as to the statement of Boyle, that the woman was seen running ** around naked, he said: "Boyle said so? It's a lie. The woman never run around naked, not to my knowledge." When he was told that Boyle had charged Kramer with furnishing him with the , saws he acted as if it was the first time he had heard of it. He said: "I was always accommodating to the boys, but I never passed anything at all to them without first going to Peterson and tell ing him." . . • ~yy. Detective Keneally went to New. Ulm after Kramer. Marshal Campbell,' in explanation of why the work of find ing the men was given to Chief Clark instead of Sheriff Richter, says it was at County Attorney Egan's suggestion. The attorney general and the governor had been consulted with by Dr. Dana, Mr. Hart and Mr. Campbell previous to the meeting of Friday afternoon, and the governor and attorney general told them to confer with Judge Egan and have him commence judicial action at once. "The board as a board has not yet taken any official action," said the mar shal. "The board has no executive power," he explained. "MARY ZENS' CONDITION. > County Physician Ancker talking about the girl, Mary Zens, said he and Dr. Simms had examined the girl for insanity. "I was particular to question the girl upon that very thing," ex plained the doctor. "I asked her if she hadn't been a little crooked. I knew that she was silly, and the muscles of her face would relax into an idiotic smile, and she couldn't help it, but I didn't like the leer in her eyes. She denied that she was : intimate with anybody, but finally she admitted that she had been an inmate of a house of ill-fame for three days, and that the landlady had got $22 for her and gave her only $1. I understand she was turned away from home." The girl's relatives live near. St. Cloud. Referring to " the accommo dations for keeping female prisoners, he asked: "Now, who is really respon sible? Why, instead of fixing that woman down stairs, where the sheriff's office was for the county board, why, don't the board have that room fixed up' for female prisoners, and let it have its meetings up stairs the same as it has been having them? That room is con tiguous. The door could be barred, and bars put across the window.- It wouldn't make very much expense. And if they thought the female prisoners might get out, why.not have a door put in across' the hall at the end of the treasurer's office? They can get some woman pretty cheap to take charge of them, and then, with a little expense, all this trouble could be avoided. What is $500 or so to Ramsey county? I have always advocated a place for criminals who are sick. Because a man is a criminal is no reason why he should not have proper medical attendance if he was sick. In our new building, which we. are putting: up, 1 am having a few close rooms for just that class of people." SHERIFF KICHTER TALKS. In View or the Newspaper Discus sion He Explains the Whole Case. Sheriff Bichter, in view of the news paper discussion, yesterday decided to recede from his position of absolute si lence, and volunteered a statement of the affair, which does away entirely with the suspicions which have attached to his mysterious action. The sheriff's version is as follows: :jpSBH "The first intimation I had of the charges against Shields and Kramer was (in Tuesday afternoon, when I was in formed by Secretary Hart that the board of collections and charities was in possession of charges that they had 1 been guilty of criminal intimacy with the insane woman,' Mary Zens. * 1 was thoroughly surprised,, and began at once to Inquire into" the matter. Tues day evening Secretary Hart, Dr. Dana and Marshal Campbell, of the board,met me in my office, and we called Peter son in, and 1 questioned him about what he knew and told him to tell the whole truth. He then stated that he had opened the door of the She SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNIKG, OCTOBER 30, 1887.—TWENTY PAGES. jail to see if • everything' was all right, and just as he entered he saw the woman get up off the cot occupied by Kramer in the lower corridor, shake down her clothes and run back up stairs. That was the substance of Peterson's testimony. We then called in Shields and Kramer and Picha, one by one, and questioned them. Now, the woman's place of confinement was on the inside corridor of the upper tier of cells, and the key was carried by Shields, lie admitted having let her out to go to the corridor below, and gave as a reason that she had been singing and yelling and keeping all the prisoners awake. Kramer could not deny that she had been on the cot with him, but would admit nothing more. That was all the evidence we had and the woman herself had said that she had not had intercourse with Kramer, having been interrupted by Peterson. After hear ing the testimony I talked the thing over with members of the board, and we all agreed that it was too filthy, a case to be given to the newspapers, at least until we should find stronger evidence against the men. There was nothing said that Tuesday night about PLACING THEM UNDER ARREST, and I did not discharge them then for two reasons. In the first place, we would have been without a watchman for that night, and, again, 1 wished to think the matter over during the night and to act carefully and justly. When 1 arose the next morning 1 had fully made up my . mind to dis charge Kramer and Shields, and 1 telephoned to my chief deputy Mr. Lunkenheimer, and told him to have Shields wait until I arrived at the office. 1 came down about 9 o'clock, called in the men, and discharged them. I did not do so because 1 believed they were guilty of intercourse with the woman, because that had not been shown, but 1 did it because it was plainly shown that Shields had been guilty in letting the woman out of the upper corridor, and that Kramer and the woman had been found in a com promising position. Secretary Hart, of the state board, was to have met me at the jail that morning, but he did not come. He telegraphed, however, about 10 o'clock, and said he could not be present, and 1 told him then that I had discharged "Shields and Kramer, the watchmen. He did not say anything about holding the men, or about swearing out warrants for their arrest, and 1, myself, did not believe that there was any evidence to hold them on a criminal charge, and I do not now believe that the charges can be sustained. Both Kramer and Shields were in the city all that day, to my knowledge. Shields could not have left the city until 4:30 p. m., and Kramer was in my office as late as 4 o'clock that afternoon. Neither of them made any effort to get away in a hurry, and 1 have said all the time that Shields could be found at Forest Lake, where he used to live, and where they found him to-day. I was sur prised when the matter was made public by the newspapers on Thursday, but I adhered to my determination not to say anything, because I did not believe that publicity was going to help matters at all. But the whole affair has been so vastly misrepresented I concluded that it was best to make this statement. I have not discharged Picha because there was no good evidence against him. THIS INSANE WOMAN said that she had intercourse with both Shields and Picha, but there ' was no proof. On the other hand, I did not give the least credence to her state ments,.because she had, while in jail, told my bookkeeper, Mr. Gibberton a dozen crazy tales of men with whom she had been intimate. She seemed to have a mania for the subject. She pointed out five or six men among the prisoners, whom she had never seen outside their cells, and swore that she had been inti mate with them, and once, when a law yer came up to call on one of the pris oners, she pointed him out and claimed to have slept with him time and again. "There is absolutely no truth in the story printed last evening that one of my deputy sheriffs had been seen with his arms around the other female pris oner, Annie Dixon. The woman her self denies it all. She was released yes terday by the district court on her own recognizance. For fear they will charge : me with having her put out of the way, I want to explain that it was all done 7 : • WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. City and County Physician Ancker ex amined and reported her condition to Judge Egan, the county attorney. Yes terday morning Judge Egan, without my knowledge, sent a deputy after her and had her brought before the district court, where, on his motion, the bail was reduced from $1,000 and the judge released her on her own recognizance. ~ "A word about this man Boyle. I took him over to the police court myself Wednesday morning after 1 had dis charged Kramer. I did not think at the time I discharged Kramer that he was the only witness I had against Boyle; but, as a matter of fact, if Kramer had appeared, and Boyle had been held to the grand jury, it would have dropped there, for Kramer could not possibly have been detained here as a witness against Boyle." An Anti-Coercion Meeting. P. R. L. McDonell, secretary of the St. Paul Branch of the Irish National league, received the following telegram from Messrs. Esmonde and O'Connor, the Irish Nationalists, yesterday after noon. • ;>-.-'. Will attend meeting at St. Paul Friday, 4th. Cannot otherwise. Wire to Dcs Moines if you can arrange. **" According to the above dispatch, a telegram was sent to Dcs Moines stating that a meeting could be so arranged for Friday evening next. A mass meeting, anti-coercion in its nature, will there fore' be held on the day mentioned. Prominent speakers both lay and cler ical will make addresses. By the Arion Society.

The Trades Assembly Sits on the Men That Circulate It. HIGH RATES NOT WANTED. The Assembly Not in Sympathy With the Anarchists by a Very *• Long Deal. The interstate commerce law and its effects upon the railroads of Minnesota was the topic that lent most interest to the Trades and Labor assembly at their meeting Friday night. The ("lobe, in its report of the last meeting of the trades council, published a petition to the governor, praying, him y; to interfere against any contem plated action of the railroad com missioners looking towards a reduction of freight rates. This, petition, as al leged, came from Minneapolis employes of the Milwaukee road. At this same meeting of the trades assembly testi mony was offered by members working in and around railroad shops and yards, going to prove that the petition was . inspired by the general man ager of the Milwaukee road, and was first circulated through their yards by favored employes. From the Mil waukee yards in Minneapolis, accord ing to statements made Friday evening in the assembly meeting, the petition has proceeded to the Northern Pacific and Minnesota & Northwestern shops and yards in St. Paul. A number of employes in the Northern Pacific yards were induced to sign the petition be cause a rumor had gained currency that a general "lay-off" on Monday was contemplated, and the "lay-off" was owing entirely to the lack of business the railroad sustained through the en forcement of the interstate law. A del egate from the Workingmen's Educa tional association, who is employed in the Northwestern yards, and who claims to have seen the petition, assured the assembly that, the largest number of signatures to the petition embraced for eigners entirely ignorant of the princi ples involved. "If the same thing pre vailed -VL:L.. IN THE OTHER YARDS as obtained in the Northwestern there were more aliens than citizens on these petitions; hence the governor should be acquainted with the fact,*' exclaimed the delegate. ' On motion of the Washington assem bly, the trades assembly by resolution emphasized its declaration to stand in line with the Farmers' Alliance of Min nesota to bring about and maintain an equitable freight rate, and the commit tee on appeals and grievances were di rected to present to the governor the protest of organized labor in St. Paul against any efforts -of self-apoointed railroad committees. . A socialist member, with a copy of a weekly newspaper in hand, read "some extracts commenting on the attitude of the Trades assembly to the socialists. He made a motion that a committee be appointed to demand retraction. This gave rise to a passionate debate, during which it was made manifest that, al though the Trades assembly indorsed a meeting to be called at Turner hall, to protest against the execution of the an archists, it had no part in the proceed ings. The: prominence given to the Trades assembly in that meeting was entirely owing to the zealousness of the socialists, and was unauthorized by the assembly. Their action was severely denounced, and ther motions to inject resolutions of any character, were re jected unanimously by the trades unions present. *' SET UPON AND ROBBED. A Gray-Haired man Who Lost His Pile in a Saloon. A gray-haired man named J. Paulson came to police headquarters 'at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and claimed that he had been robbed of $205 in cash in a saloon kept by James- Cosgrove at No'.'''37o'Robert 1 street, = known as the "Little Ryan." Paulson has for many years been a foreman in the employ of P. Brennan, the railroad contractor, and recently returned from Montana, where, he was engaged on the extension of the Manitoba road. Paulson had two r checks on the First National bank of this city, one for $174.85 and the other for $60, which he cashed yesterday. He paid $25 of this to his partner and spent some small change.The remainder which was mostly in $20 bills, he carried in his pocket, when he entered the. '-Little Ryan" saloon to get a glass of beer. He says he handed the bartender a $5 bill, and received no change. When he asked for his change he was invited to take another drink. There were two men beside the bartender in the saloon at the time. One of these men beckoned him into a little room at the "fear of the saloon an.l when he -entered . the two pounced upon him. He was choked by one of the men and the other relieved him of his pocket-book. Both made their es cape from a rear door before he could call for help. Lieut. Cook and Officer Marion went to the saloon and arrested James Cosgrove, the proprietor, and Harry Dougan, the bartender. Cosgrove had is7o s>on his person when searched at the central station. Paulson identified Cosgrove as the man who choked him while he was robbed. The other robber has not yet . been caught, but the police have a clue to his identity. He is believed to be an ex-convict, who was released from the 'Stillwater penitentiary this week. Cosgrove and Domran both refused to talk, but it is believed Dougan will re lent and become a witness against his employer. -: V-> ■-.' PARTNERS DISAGREE. Judge MeCafTerty Discharged by the Court on the Charge of Lar- ceny. The case of the State against John J. McCafferty, United States commis sioner, for larceny, was heard in the municipal court yesterday afternoon by Judge Schoonmaker. Judge McCafferty appeared in court with District Attorney Baxter and. Assistant District Attorney Lawler as counsel. Assistant County Attorney Munn prosecuted for the state. John F. Fitzpatrick, the complaining witness, was a lawyer, and was formerly the law partner of Judge McCafferty. The charge grew out of a dispute over the settlement of the former firm's business. Thursday evening Fitzpatrick cot out a search war rant for certain papers relating to the suit of Nichols & Co. vs. Doherty, which were in the possession of Judge McCafferty. Learning of tins proceed ing, Judge McCafferty deposited the papers with the municipal court. Law yer Fitzpatrick then swore out a war rant charging the judge with larceny. At the hearing yesterday Fitzpatrick testified that the papers had been in his possession on the sixth of January last, but he did not know how they were re moved. He was rigidly cross-examined by District Attorney Baxter, and Judge Schoonmaker discharged the defendant without taking further testimony. Coal Goes Up.
