uVtlanta, Sept. 21.—(Special.)—About 2
o’clock this morning Chief of Police
Connolly was aroused from hte bed^-to
receive a telegram from Cincinnati
which announced the arrest of Will
Meyers, who was identified and taken in
custody by the Cincinnati police! about
1 o’clock last night.
(Meyers had registered at the Indiana
house under "the assumed name of John
Cunningham, and to further avoid iden
tification had his hair dyed a deep
black, its natural oolor being light
brown.
Meyers has copteesed the murder of
Forest Crowley, although placing, the
guilt upon a local gambler named
Brown Allen. Allen has not yet been
arrested, but the police are making ev
ery effort to catch hini. '
J. W. Conley, who was yesterday ar
rested In Chattanooga, la also impli
cated by Meyers’ confeesidn. Conley
was released by order of Chief Con-
nolley of this city .last night, but rear-
rested agulp and will be brought back
niton a warrant charging him with mur
der tomorrow. ■
A young man by the name of Drake,
who was employed at the coal office of
Kelley & Dunn, along with Rev. Sam
Jones’ nephew, Charlie Jones, who was
arrested yesterday, has also been. «r-
Charlle Jones is implicated by the
statement of Meyers, but lr. an indirect
way. Jones still contends that he can
establish an alibi and takes the accu
sation of Meyers cool* enough.
According to Movers’ “confession,
Brown Alien Is the arch.flhd in the
horrible Plot. Allen’> N*r is bad.

, actor, having floured In a min.-jer
Bensatlonal'cnsco. but never In a
thins like the present one. It was
known where the supposed murdi
had gone from Chattanooga until
police of Oovtngton. Ky„ heird thi
young man answering hla deuoflpj
had paid a visit to a barber shot
that city to set his hair dyed. U;
the suspicion that the young njan-w.
the dyed hair was Meyers he was t.
lowed by the Covington officers to Cl|
clnnatl and Anally located at the ft
dlnna hotel. E'L
Young ‘Meyers had .evidently been offT*
taklrur In the town, for tt was after V
o'clock this mornlngMhat he put la his-
appearance at the Indiana house. Tho
detectives whb were waiting allowed
him to go to his room before they made
the arrest. Twenty-live dollars was nil
the money Meyers had, tout was pro
vided with a pistol.
At first ho denied his identity, but
admitted that he was Meyers whea the
officers began to bo through his pock
ets. He also denied the killing of Crow
ley, saying that he knew all about tt.
but was not the murderer. He left At
lanta, he claimed, because the men who
committed the crime were trying to
fasten It upon him.
■Liter on In his confession to Chief of
Police Dettch of Cincinnati Meyers im
plicated Brown Allen. Allen, he said,
had acquired an Influence over him
through his sister that he could not re
sist. and had used this Influence to
force him to lead Crowley Into the trap
set fbr his murder and robbery. After
the deed warn done Allen gave him half
of the money.
Meyers said. In explaining Allen’s al
iened power over him. that he was In
fatuated with Allen’s sister and the two
Platted against him. Tho woman, he
said, had led him on. until when he
found himself In a compromising posi
tion with her, her brother suddenly ap
peared on the scene, and under threats
forced him to become a party to the
plot to rob and murder Crowley.
Meyers' part was to get Crowley out
to the appointed Mice, which he did.
and then he claims Allen committed the
murder.
Meyers will arrive In Atlanta In
charge of officciv tomorrow morning,
having agreed to return to Georgia
without requisition oapena. .
■It was reported here today that an
effort wtould be made by friend, of
Crowley to take Mevere from the train
when It reaches Cobb county anil lynch
him. To prevent anything of this kind
Governor Northen haa telegraphed the
sheriff of Cobb county Instructing him
to toe prepared to protect the prisoner
at any exertion.
The case has beetklhe only thing dis
cussed bn the .treefa today. This after
noon the excitement over the murder
waa Stirred to a lively pitch by the ap
pearance of the Evening Commercial,
which contained a doiible-lea'letl edito
rial In almost so many words calling on
tho people to lynch Meyers and hi. eon-
fed erases. The Crowley murder la the I
fourth cohl-tolooded butchery that has I
occurred In Atlanta within the' l.i.t
three months, and In Indonelng Judge
Lynch, the Commercial thinks a des
perate remedy is needed.
The Investigation by the coroner,
which was taken up today, developed i
no new facts. exent to show eonc'u*-
ively that the murtTsr eras deliberately
planned a week before It was finally
bf men. has ‘been scouring the city to

his fall. Her address was given as De

house number. The police have been

fellow’s confession la regarded as the
product of hts Imagination. Th ■ man

Further Particulars of the Disastrous
Defeat of China’s Fleet.
‘Londbn, Sept. 21.—The Times will
puMleh tomorrow the following dis
patch from Tien-Tsln, dated Septem
ber 21: Wounded officers of tho Chinese
fleet cbmflnm the original report of the
engagement on Che 17uh instant. They
say that he Chinese fleet arrived at
Yalu river on the afternoon of the
16th and remained ten miles outside of
the mouth of Hie river while transports
were unloading. At 11 o’ctock on 'the
morning of the 17tih they sighted the
smoke of the Japanese fleet, which was
approaching tn 'two columns. The Chi
nese vessels steunuM out to meet them
in tvro columns, converging on the flag
ship. The Jaipanee fleet constated of
twelve ships, while the Chinese lea l ten
ships. The Chinese admiral opened Are
at a distance of 6,000 metres, but the
firing on both sides fell chart uiftil the
opposing lines aamo wl'CWn 5,00 metres
of evtc.li other. The Chinese endeavored
to come to dose cjpaniors, tout were
prevented from aarompllshi.i'g their
purpose by the superior speed of the
Jti'punso ships, which, keeping for the
most part two miles off. matneuvred u'J-
mlrubly and made splendid piucUce
with the 'long-range quick-firing guns.
“The Chinese cruiser Clfln-Yuen,
Captain Lui Shang. early in the day
closed -with one of the encimie’s ships
With full speed. Intending to ram her.
Whether rammed or torpedoed, the
Japanese Shi 'turned over and tank.
Four Japanese vessels t'hon ch>3ed
around Che Ohln-Yuen, and she was
ripped up toy shots under the water
line and went down with alt on toourU,
; Including Purvis, the engineer. Mean
while tho 'buttle rased furiously around
the flagship Tlns-Yuen and her con
sort, the Chen—Yuen. iNiJdholls, u gun
nery officer on tohe Ting-Yuen was
killed. Tho Japanese ships were diffi
cult too identify, tout it is known that
the cruiser Yoshlno received some
damaging shots alt clbse range, which
ertvdloped her In smoke nn\l made her
invisible. Some of the Chinese gunnera
devoted tohelc attention especially to the
Jaipafnese cruiser Naniwu anti succeed
ed in sdUing her an lire, but none of
the Chinese officers saw her sink.
■'At 5 o’clock the five Japanese ves
sels still engaged in the fight 'turned
■and fled. Tho Chinese vessels pursued,
but 'Balled to overtake thorn. Next
mornng ithe Japanese flotilla returned
and torpedoed tohe stranded ships.
•Tile casualties on the Chinese fleet
were exactly us previously gtaited. The
Japanese laraes are uncertain, us all
the vessels -were busy ami no one could
se the whole fieM of action. On com
paring 'teutlmony from various sources
It seems certdiln that four Japanese
ships were destroyed and the remainder
were badly-maimed.”

that he wjm unarmed und did not w.i-n(

Dcahu told him to go nnd arm himself
and lie would meet him anywhere or nt
