The mo ling’s Constitution 1 a the 101. mg special from Ciu cinnatt i: Cincinnati, 0., September 21. — William Myers, charged with the murder of Forrest L. Crowley, the wealthy stockman, at Atlanta, was arrested here at 1 o’clock this morning. The police found Myers at the Indiana house, on Fifth street between Elm and Race, with $25 <>n his person. He is held for the Atlanta au thorities. Myer- had his hair dyed in Cov ington before crossing to Cincin nati. He admits knowing all about the murder, but further than to deny his own guilt,*he refuses to talk. He has consented to go back to Atlanta without requisition pa pers. Myers’s arrest is due to Lieuten ants Bolan and Gaffney, of Cov ington. Lieutenent Bolan got a tip about a young man who excited attention in a Covington barber shop by having his hair, which was light brown, dyed a jet black, and his hair then cut so as to alter his appearance. # From the description of th e young man, Lieutenant Bolan de cided that he must be Myers and a search was at once instituted. It was found that he had come to this side of the river, and after looking about the hotels a tip was obtained that he was at the Indi ana house. The two Covington officers met Detectives Myers and Calnan and the quartet repaired to the Fifth Street hotel and waited for their man to come in. A little past midnight a young man answering the description came into the hotel and registered as “John Cunningham, city.” The officers decided to await developements and be sure of their man. He was assigned to room 94, on the third floor, and went to bed. The officers found that on Wed nesday night he had registered at the hotel as from Memphis, Tenn. It was decided to capture him in his room and the officers went to young Meyer’s room. When he w'as aroused he would not open the door, and Detective Calnan climbed on a chair and, looking over the transome, told him to open the door or it would be broken in, and that he and his fellow officers would not have any fooling. Myers opened the door. When confronted with the knowledge of his identity, he at first denied it. Detective Meyer took his hat and saw by the lining that it was bought in Atlanta. Myers finally admitted who he was. Under his pillow was found a revolver, and he had $25. He was taken at once to police headquarters by Detec tives Meyer and Calnan. He ad mitted that he was the man want ed in Atlanta, but declared that he did not rob and murder Forest Crowley. “Well, Billy, what do you know about the case?” asked Lieutenant Poppe. “More than I am going to tell,” answered Meyers. Do you say you did not murder Crowley ? No, sir; I did not. I don’t know about it < nly what I Inv rend Then why did you leave Atlan ta? I was v old that acme of thorn were trying to mix me up in it. Who tried I® mix you up ir. it? Well, Charles Jones and another feilow. Then there were two in the job? Tell us what you know about this I will not tell all I know, but I did not rob him or have anything to do with it Were you not with young Crow ley? I only saw him nt the depot. , Didn’t you get into a buggy with h m aud drive out to the place where he was found murdered? No, air, I did not. Will you goback without requi sition papers? Yes, sir. No foollug now, I don’t want you to back ou your word. Oh, I’ll go back, said Myers, I might as well go back aud have the whole thing over with. The prisoner was taken to the cellroom. He is a. good-looking young man aud gave his age as nineteen. He had on a new suit he had bought on credit in Atlan a. There is S2OO reward for Meyrs’ arrest, which will be claimed bj the Covington officers, C. L. Doran. CHAS, JONES INFORMED. He Says he is Glad Meyers has Been Arrested. At three o’clock this morning Charlie Jones, who has been held on the> charge of being implicated in the murder, was interviewed in his cell. He was told that Mey ers had been arrested and had given up the entire story. He has? ejaculated Jonee. I’m glad of it, I know he’ll tell the entire story and clear me. I am ennocent. Does he implicate me? I can prove an alibi for every hour in the day. After the telegram was received in which Myers implicated Chdr lie Jones, Jones was seen and in formed that Myers had implicated him. “I don’t care anything about that,” he replied coolly. “I am innocent and I will be able to prove it. Forty telegrams wouldn’t convict me. I know nothing what ever about this matter.” Jones was remarkably cool. The statement that he had been impli cated did not bother him in the least.
