THE HUSTLER OF ROME MONDAY NOVEMBER, 19 1894.
THE STRANGLER. |
The Denvef Police think they have
Captured the fiend
HIS NAME IS FRANK ROCH
And he is a French Canadian
With a Wife and Children.
A Former Suspect gives
the Snap away to the
Public.
Denver, Col., Nov., 19.—“ Jack
the Strangler,” it seems has been
caught.
Erank Roch has been arrested
on suspicion of being the man who
has disturbed the serenity of the
frail women of Denver.
The prisoner is a French Cana
dian, of unknown antecedents aiM
a cigar maker. He has a wife and
family, but they know nothing of
how his time is employed. He has
displayed a great deal of money
during the last two ®r three weeks,
and the police claim that he ob
tained it from the principals who
were interested in getting the
women out of the way.
This assumption destroys th*-
theory of a perverted mind ami
brings the case down to the nv>r»
plausible idea that there were ti>en
who wished to destroy the victims
of their debaucheries and enter in
to undisputed possession of the
property which thev had accumu
ated during their livesof crime
in tke United Stares.
The strangest part of the story
•s that the prisoner corresponds to
the description given by a ciairvoy
ant, although the police are indig
uant at- the suspicion that they
may be in donat.
It is probable that the fact of
the arrest would not have been
made public tonight had it not
been for the vigilance of Tony San
ders.
Sanders is a former police mes
senger who became involved in the
strangling cases owing to his in
fatuation for Marie Contassoit, the
second victim of the strangler.
Sanders was discharged because of
the scandal, and since the death
of his inamorata has devoted him
self to attempting to capture the
perpetrators
His intimacy with the women of
“the Row’’ gave him au advantage
over the others who were working
on the case, and his knowledge of
French and Italian enabled him to
go amoßg the foreign elemei e *vith
out suspicion.
Sanders had been watching Roch
for several days, awaiting the time
when he would again go to the
Row. watching all night,
Sanders awoke today to resume
hie virgil. His first business was
to ascertain the location of Roch
and shadow him.
Roch was missed. Inquiry fa 1*
ed to reveal his place of abode, and
only at a late hour tonight did the
horrible truth dawn on Sanders.
His enemies had stolen a inarch on
him and taken away the strangler!
He is probably in the “sweat box”
of the county detectives where he
will be kept until they make him
disclose information of hia doings
on the nights of tho crimes.
AXoTHIR ARREST.
The police last night arrested a
man giving the name of Moller,
•laiming to be an Italian, in a
house on Strangler’s Row. He was
an ordinary, quarrelsome person,
but the morning papers “caught
him red-handed in the act of strung
ling Marie Vendres.”
The man named Beamand, who
was indicted here for murdering
Lena Tapper, is the most promis
ing “strangler,” but the evidence
against him is circumstantial. The
man Roch, who was arrested, the
police claim to have some damag
ing evidence against, but they’ will
not divulge it at present.
The residents of Market street
are v»ry nervous nnd superstitious
and the least disturbance, though
formerly of hourly occurrence, is
now sufficient to create a panic
and develop a new stranger. They
have put in electric bells and em
ployed watchmen to be ceustantly
on hand.

of ill fame nearby.
One woman rau to Heverou ’s

laughing aud assured her that the
msnwere only shamming. Just then
Ashby stepped from I ebind a tree
and attacked Heveron with a club.
Heveron ran in to the house, and
he and hu brother appealed to two
policemen, who approached, 'or
protection.
When Ashby camenp they ask
ed him what he wanted. Ashby
