DODGING FOR 3 YEARS
Was Surprised and Captured
in his den in the Loft of
his Uncle's Barn near
Macon Georgia on
Yesterday.
Macon, Ga., June s.—Deputy
Sheriffs Stephan and Jobson cap
tured the well-known young white
man, Jean Taylor, yesterday af
ternoon.
He was in hiding in the loft of
his uncle’s barn a few miles from
Macon on the Columbus road. He
and his brother, Frank Taylor,
on the Christinas of 1892 shot and
killed young Burnett as Burnett
was driving in his buggy on the
road. The rifle ball passed through
his body. The Taylor brothers fled
to Savannah. Officers pursued
them. Frank Tayloy rather than
be arrested blew out his baains.
The officers were so close in pur
suit they heard the pistol shot.
Jean Taylor escaped, went home
and told of his brother’s tragic
death and he then disappeared and <
has avoided arrest until today. It
is said that he has been living in <
theloftofhis uncle’s barn over a
year. He had a bed, a table and a
chair there. He would occasional
ly go out in a disguise and go in
the ivoods to cut wood. He was (
taken by surprise this afternoon
and is now in jail. (

Judge Moran as Attorney General ‘
Mr. Olney Secretaiy of State.
Chicago, June s.—The Chronicle ]
says: <
“Thomas Moran, ex-judge of the] (
appellate court and head of the law (
firm of Moran, Krause & Mayer,’ |
has been offered and has undubted- ;
ly accepted the position of attor
ney beneral of the United States.
“This news came from Washing
ton yesterday as a part of the pro
pos d changes in President Cleve- :
land’s cabinet, due to the death of i
Secretary of Siate Gresham. The i
portfolio of state, according to the ,
best obtainable authority, is to be (
given to the present attorney gen- (
oral. Mr. Olney, of Boston. The re- ;
suiting vacancy in the attorney ■
general’s office is to be filled by ex-
Judge Moran, of Chicago.
“it was said positively by one
of Judge Maron’s law partners
last evening that the off»r of the
attorney general’s portfolio Dnd
been made to the head of the firm.
This offer. The Chronicle’s inform
ant said, came not from President
Cleveland himself, but from a gen
tleman in Washington represent
ing the president in this as he has
done in other matters of like im
port.
It was further said that at a con
feronce between Judge Moran and
the other members of his law firm
yesterday, the probability of Mr.
Moran’s acceptance of the cabinet
position was fully discussed.
“The conclusion reached was
that if Judge Moran should con
sent to join the cabinet cirele his
law firm in Chicago should not
suffer to the extent of a sever
ance of his present connection with
the firm of M-tran, Krause & May
' er.”
