PLAY THE INSANITY DODGE. Martinez, April 25.—Ed Moore, the Nevadacounty murderer, is a pitiable subject as he cringes in his tank in the county jail. His skin hangs. on ‘his bones like parchment, for he has been skeletonized by his terrible experience of. the last three -weeks. The tinge of malaria is on his face and his eyes are sunken and bloodshot, ‘There is a twitching about the corners of his usually firm mouth, -and his whole bearing is that a man who feels his Jig is up. ‘He made a bold bluff last evening whe he said to Tom Davenport, his schoolmate and fellowmalitiaman in years gone by, “I don’t know you; I never saw you before.” But this morning when the officers from Nevada county walked in and accosted him as an old acquaintance he saw it was useless ‘to try and longer deny his identity. . “I know them all right,” he said to Sheriff Veale. And then when an attempt was made to draw him:into a conversation he sullenly shook his head ‘and turned his back. His appearance makes it plain that he has endured all sorts of hardships, not the least of which have been the pangs of hunger, He has plainly suffered a thousand deaths since he fled from his old home in'the vain hope that he could outwit justice and dodge the hangman’s noose. It is apparent from his actions sti that he'is already paving the way to go to the insane asylum instead of'to the scaffold. He sits watching the furthermost corner of his cell, blinking his peculiar quick eyes like an owl and entirely oblivious toeverything that is going on around him. He mutters: to himself at times in a broken way. He is either an _artist as a dissembler, or else he'is crazy as a loon. Those men here who know him well say he is shamming. Sheriff Veale will help the Nevada county offi-cers land him in the;jailat Nevada City. They will . get away today and reach there tomorrow, they say, but they are evidently trying to keep the time of their. departure quiet. Veale,will get $1,000.reward, or the $500 offered by the Supervisors of Nevada county, the $300. from the trustees of Nevada City — -.and.the $200 from the Nevada county Sheriff. He cannot as a Sheriff receive the $300 from the State. He.says he will divide in fair preportions with the farmer who put him on the trail and with the lad Borizag ni. bee-line for the Contra Costa county . raged public sentiment and say so, jail and positively identified the man HE ALREADY IS.

Moore, the outlaw of Little Deer creek, who at one o'clock on Friday morning, March 3ist, shot and killed Policeman William H. Kilroy at the corner of Broad and Pine streets in this city. After the identification Sheriff Getchell, who had said two weeks ago that he would not get shaved till he was cock-sure he had the assassin safe in his clutches, visited a barber shop and had his beard removed. The capture ‘of the arch-criminal who has despite his marked personal peculiaritjes led the officers of the law such a merry chase for three weeks sea, is a source of unbounded satisfaction to all classes of citizens, . When the TRANSORIPT appeared on the streets that were afloat and detailing how Thomas 8. Davenport, the former Neoner and recognized him beyond per adventure as the fugitive from Nevada county, expressions of satisfaction body else, and Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa county, who by his prompt and gallant action was enabled to accomplish single-handed what had generally come to be regarded as a hopeless task, is the hero of the hour. It is expected that when the train bringing the prisoner has approached to say Grass Valley or Town Talk he will be taken off and brought the rest of the way to jail in a carriage, this possibility of a.lynching. Such a step is however regarded asntirely unnecessary. The people of Nevada City are law-abiding and they have since pioneer days, when they were compelled by the exigencies of the times and of their surroundings to be a law unto themselves, trusted to the moarts to right their wren. enport of Martinez tells it : taken to the co a. ia’ precaution. being taken to avoid. the} The story of the capture is a thrillingone.

He' wore a black slouch hat and blue .overalls, and carried a roll of blankets, His shoes were badly worn. He: was very tired;and had a. chill shortly after arriving at the county jail He refused to talk, further than when I asked him, after I had identified him, . ‘how he was,’ he said to me, ‘I don’t know you,” -Bditor Wadsworth of the Morning ‘. ferald of this city, who is familiar with the country along the bay shore point is a point of swampy land projecting into Suisun bay, and is a shipping point for several ranchers in the neighborhood. There are, or used to be, warehouses there for the storing of hay. The warehouses and little wharves are some distance from the railroad track, where the above mentioned waiting room is located.”’ An Assoviated Press dispatch from Martinez last night gives the following additional facts:
Last night Moore came to the farm house of James Kennerly at McAvery six miles above here, and asked to sleep ander.a tree. He was asked why he did not sleep in the ralroad station and replied that he feared the officers might arrest him for a hobo. He was then told to. sleep in the barn. When Moore appeared he had blankets on his shoulder and a shotgin in his hand. After he had gone in the barn a neighbor by the name of Wilds came into Kennerly’s and the strange actions of the fellow was commented on. A paper was hunted up witha picture of Moore in it and the men were sure the stranger was the raurderer wanted. This morning Moore got up and looked out of the barn and threw his blankets. on his shoulder, picked up his shotgun, cocked the trigger, and. stepping out of the barn looked all around then started off at a brisk gait. Kennerly immediately drove to Black Diamond, a town six miles distant, and telephoned to Sheriff Veale of his suspicions. Veale took the 10:45 train for Stockton this morning and stationed himself at the door of the baggage car. At Bay Point Henry Borizagni, a young boy of Martinez, got off. Veal,’ looked up the track and saw a stranger coming. He got off and got inside of the small station. He called to Borizagni to come back and the two got inside and watched the advance of Moore through a knothole. Veale had a rifle in his band and when Moore got within forty yards of him stepped out and leveled the rifle at Moore and told him to throw up his hands. First Moore did not do so, as he was taken completely by surprise, but when the officer shouted “up with your hands THoetwit shoot, I am, an dfficet of the law,” Moore dropped his blankets and gun and obeyed the command. took an ear trumpet, a Smith & Wesson was then made to pick up the blankets At the jail he was searched and a gold watch with the monogram “J, M.” caps, powder and mauy other articles, inclading a diamond and two gold rings. . In Moore's blankets was discovered a &/ Colt’s revolver, of old pattern. This evening Moore sent a. message re-. to his father E. H. Moore, 666 Claremont .was.a relative of his and he wason ,his . . way to See him when arrested. The watch ‘carried by Moore was given to him by his late mother, Mra, Jennie Moore, before she died. Constable Dillon returned last evening from a search of several days for. ~~ ~~ murderer Moore around Alameda, Oontra Costa and other counties. He was on Thursday in the locality where Moore was caught yesterday. He started home sooner than he wanted to because he ran short of money. Before leaving here seven days ago Dillon had positive and exclusive information that Moore was heading for the Bay and was well on his way. It was this knowlege that sent him off, and subsequent developments prove that he was on the right track. It is the prevailing belief that when Moore tells the story of his wanderings, if his lips are ever unsealed, it will be found that the story told to the newspapers by the people who said they.saw him heading along the MoCourtney road below Grass Valley on the Monday and Tuesday after the killing, was true, The officers did not seem to attach much importance to it at the time; although one of the men— Taunt—bad been in jail’ with Moore, knew him iutimately and tolda straight and consistent tale. Moore’s dog was no doubt seen .by old Spanish Joe out ‘on Little Deer Creek, just as Joe said, having been given the slip by his master and wandered back to his old haunts. . The dog was seen last Weduesday and on several other occasions by George Murchie and other residents of that part of the township. He had been wandering around there for days. He was too wild to catch, and there was no desire to kill him lest a possible clue be destroyed. Sewerage Committee Tonight. The Board of Trade sewerage committee will meet at the courthouse tonight.
