The crime for which Maxwell is con.
demned occurred as follows: At about

1885, q most startling discovery was maze
at the Southern Hotel by Charles Biegers.
the trunk dealer who had been called in te
open a suspicious looking trunk found il

of a man who had registered on March 81
as Walter II. Lennox Maxwell. Md On
opening the trunk he body of a man was
discovered jammed into the box in a dis
torted position, with the head TO one side
and the knees drawn up as close as posi-.
BILE. The police were Immediately notified
and an investigation made. At trst the
body was supposed to be that OF Maxwell,
but further investigation proved it to be
that of Maxwelrs companion, who had
lately joined him and was registered as

The body and trunk, just as they were first
discovered, were transferred to he morgue.
A more repulsive sight had never been seen

THE PRISONER UNNERvED.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. A.-The decision In the
United States Supreme Court in the case
OF Hugh NJ. Brooks, alias Maxwell, un-
nerved the little chloroformer when 1t was
told to him, and for the first time he showed
unmistakable signs of uneaSineSS and
paced up and down the corridor of the jail
with nervous tread, his face displaying
the gloom in deathly pallor He would
not believe the statements made to him and
refused to talk until he had seen his attor-
neys. Fauntleroy, one OF the attorneys for
the defense, was much taken aback and said
the only hope he now had was to apply to the
State Supreme Court for a rehearing, and
in the event of another failure to seek exec
utive ciemency, from which source he had
some hope. The case now comes back to
the State Supreme Court, and Attorney
General Boone will in a few days call
Brooks into the trial court, the criminal
court of this city, when the date of his exc
cution will be fixed. If the Governor does
not interfere, Brooks will probably be
hanged early in March. The prisoner from
this time on, will be very closely guardel
and watched, to prevent suicide or other
mlShaD.
