They wcie committed after they had been located in Cadoga'n Tuesday morning by J. W. Crooks, mine foreman. Mack is alleged to have fired the shot that killed Coyle and Montedelle is alleged to have been with him.Suspicion was directed towardsMack by Constable Thomas Woods,.who joined the searching party Monday night. Until then the identity of the assailants had not been established.^on?table Woods stated that the description furnished tallied closely with that of Charley Mack, whom ho had known at Cadogan and Furnace Run Mack is a short, heavy set man, witha defective right eye that attracts immediate attention. It was flm appearance of one of the stranger's eyes which was remembered particularly by persons who happened to be in the restaurant whe.ro Coyle first met the two men shortly before the shooting occurred.Sheriff Dinger, Dective Charles Best and -Constable Woods 1 indly ascertain ed that Charley Mack had been working at. the Elder Run,Mine, which is located along the north side of the Kiskiniinteta.s river about three miles couth of Leechburg and not a great distance from Bagdad, which is on the opposite bank of the river. They repaired to the little settlement at that place and found where Mack had been bearding but he, was not there. They searched his effects and found a .number of pictures of him, which were talc on to Lecchbudg where they were promptly identified as being an excellent likeness of one of the men whom Coyle had met in the restaurant Convinced then that they were on the rigct frail the officers redoubled their efforts. They remained out until almost dawn Tuesday morning but were unable to obtain the slightest trace ef the men they were after.

They were i arrested without difficulty and a short j tinit' later were lodged in jail.From the facts which have been gathered it seems that Mack and Mon-tedello left Lcechbure Monday evening in an auto and drove to Johnnttn. where they crossed tin/ river and followed the^Shuwmut railroad tracks to Cadogan. At the latter place they went to the homo of Freconda Ambrodda. with whom Mack had formally boarded, and awakening the family, ask^d for something to eat. They did not tel! what they had done and after partaking (if a lunch they went to bed. The distance from Leech burg to Cadogan by the way the two men traveled is about 11 miles, about half of whichthey walked.Joseph C'»yle, the slain young man. was acred 3S years.
