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. CON. IMAN’S Funeral was Preached in Syracuse Yesterday SPORTS & VARIETY FOLK - -- - - . - Attend in Large Numbers.
