The Men Who Murdered Su-
perintendent Richard
son Arrested.

CHICAGO, May 27.-When Postmaster
Sexton came down to his office.this
morning he was met by a subordinate
official, who told him the details of one
of the largest robberies of registered
mail ever committed in the Chicago
postoffice. The vault in Sapt. A. II.
Howard's division had been entered,
evidently by an employe familiar with
the place, and eighty-siX registered
packages, all ready to put in pouches
to-day for their destinations, distracted,
and no trace left. An Investigation
was at once begun, when it was learned
that the night clerk coming on duty
Sunday night, did not receipt for the
packages to the day clerk, whom he re-
lieved, the latter being in hurry to
get away, and deferred taking a receipt
till this morning, when he. in turn, re-
lieved the night clerk. 1t was then dis
covered that eighty-siX registered pack
ages were missing and could not be ac-
counted for. The robbery was commit
ted Sunday night, but tile amount of
money contained in the packages can
not be ascertained for some days. Two
employees of the pOstoffice are sus-
pected of the theft, but Postmaster Sex
ton declines to make public their names
pending further investigation.

WINoNA, May 27.-VOlumes Of dense,
black smoke pouring from an 0uthOuse,
and woman walking leisurely along
with her clothes mass of fame and
fire licking the skin from her body, was
the startling spectacle seen on johnson
street this morning in the rear of the
old Huff house. The unfortunate wOm-
an was Miss Lena Weinberger, who for
thirty-two years has been housekeeper
at the Huff house. Ever since the
house was closed some weeks ago, she
had been keeping house for Col. Cock
rell in his cottage next the Huff house.
For thirty-twO years she had devoted
every thought to the hotel, never going
out except on all errand. and the COM
plete change in her life fastened in
sanity that was originally caused by a
fit of sickness some ten years ago. For
several months it has been understood
that her mind was going. Last week
she became insane and has been
watched closely ever since. She tried
twice to drink chlOrOfUrm and other
poisOns. A little after this morning.
she concealed lamp in towel.
and took it with several other
towels to the OuthOuse, slamming the
door in the face of the girls who fol-
lowed her. In an instant she soaked
her clothes with kerosene and also
bound towels soaked in kerosene upon
her breast, and touched match to
them. They tried to break in the door,
but she unlocked it and stepped out,
her clothes almost burned from her
body. She walked toward the house
and fell at the door. She is terribly
burned from the knees up and probably
fatally injured by inhaling the nOXious
vapors. She has no relatives except in
Hanover. Germany. She has saved
several thousand dollars.

SOLD TB e STORE.
The Birmingham Clue Interesting
But Not Important.


CHICAGO, May 27.-It is being quietly
announced that l.. Burlingham's drug
store at SS1 North Clark street is to
have new proprietor by June 1. A gen.
tleman who was making purchase
few evenings ago was so informed over
the counter. When LIE Caron left for
England on the receipt of a cipher dis
patch. he sold out quietly ,and for small
price. Cronin, LIE Caron and the drug
gist had been associated together for
time, and when LIE CarOn began to De
suspected it is said that the three ended
their friendship with some show OF anger
in the courts. They sued each otner.
1t is said that the police have fully
sifted the matter, and that it is only an
interesting incident. not even re-
motely connected with the LIE Caron
case, nor with the Cronin mat
ter. 1t is matter of speculation
as to whether the coroner will take IL
up. The inquest will be resumed to-
morrow. lie Caron's son, who, it is un-
derstood. has been living in Chicago
and quietly worked at his call
ing in large wholesale house,
has been summoned to England:
The cablegram upon which ne acted
probably came from his father. The only
presumption that obtains is that the
father, learning that Cronin had been
sremoved,'' and fearing that Oh ac-
count OF his own former relations with
Cronin, his son might be dragged into
trouble, cabled him to come.

Ascending the bench at once, Justice
KerSten called the case of,The People VS..
Daniel COughlin ct al. For a minute
hush fell upon the crowd of newspa-
per reporters and others assembled in
the court room, which was broken by
Capt. Bartram, who advanced to the
bar. and in low, but distinct voice,
said:
'Your honor, we are hardly ready
for trial iu this case, and in behalf of
the prosecution would ask for a con-
tinuance and that the prisoner be
held without bail" MAY it please
your honor" said Lawyer Forrest, sit
looks as if this sudden step has been
taken with view of preventing my
client receiving the benefit of a habeas
corpus proceeding or the verdict of
coroner's jury" Forrest pleaded briefly
for continuance only until tomorrow,
and an opportunity then for discussing
the question of bail. Both requests
were
QUICKLY OVERRULED
by the court. Ten days continuance OF
the case without bail was the order.
"Your HONOR" said Forrest, 81 now
demand the right to converse with my
client, a right which has heretofore
Deen Oenleu me Dy Ile dltHollIioS.
Certainly. Mr.. Forrest" said the
judge, 'you may retire to the adjoining
room and have reasonable time to speak
with your client. Meanwhile court
stands adjourned" The arrest of Z.
o. Sullivan, of Lakeview, was accom-
plished at the police station, where he
had for hours before been undergoing
a pumping process. When brought into
court he maintained calm demeanor
that seemed almost complete inditfer-
ence. When brought into the city after
midnight he was soon, like Coughlin.
within the grim walls of Cook county
Jail.
The discoverers of DR.. Cronin's body
are quarreling over the reward. Henry
Rosch claims it, but to-day John Fine
gar and Louis johnson, his workmen,
put in claims. They maintained that
they were the real discOverers, and
that Rosch was simply their employer
and was not the first to find the body.
James F. Boland, chairman of the COM
mittee that offered the reward, assured
Finegar and johnson that no money
would be paid until it was known who
found the body, and then the payment
would depend upon the collections. No
fund had yet been raised to pay the re-
ward and it might fail.

CHILDERs, Tex, May 27.-Harry

ranch Friday evening for the murder of

Richardson and his clerk. George Ar
mold, were in the Office door when the
men came IN. One of them drew re-
volver and ordered the clerk to hold up
his hands. Richardson was standing in
door that led into another room. He
stepped back to get shotgun, and
turned around to defend the clerk,
when one of the men slipped
in at another door and shot Richardson
in the back. The ball passed through
guarded the clerk while the other
robbed the office of $4,000. By this time
a crowd had surrounded the building
and the robbers, mounting horses, made
away through the assembled miners
amid showers of bullets. one of which
killed one of their horses, compelling
both robbers to make their escape on
one horse. The murderers were trailed
about eighty miles OH the way to the
Pan Handle of Texas. On their way
over the mountain they dropped an
envelope containing $45 and buried a
bag containing s4OO in silver which
was found by officers. The officers
came to Childers on Wednesday morn
ing, started out on to the Metador
ranch on Thursday at noon. and ar
rested the prisoners Friday night. The
murderers were quite popular among
the cowboys and they threatened to re-
lease the prisoners, and for a while 1t
looked as if the officers would have to
fight for their prisoners; but after an
explanation of everything the prison.
ers were brought to this place and put

Albert Martin Lynched for a
Brutal Outrage.

PORT HURON, Mich, May 27.-On the
afternoon of May II a colored tramp en-
tered the house of John Gillis, farmer
living about four miles west of this city,
and made brutal assault on Mrs.
Gillis. beating and kicking her and
stamping OH her PROSTATE body. Mrs.
Gillis was alone with her little five
year-old daughter at the time, and al
though she offered strong resistance
she was finally overcome and the brute
accomplished his purpose. A large
posse of farmers secured the country
for the man, but did not succeed in
finding him. The Port Huron police,
however, discovered him hiding in the
woods near the city Sunday morning.
May IL, and lodged him in Jail. He
gave the name of Albert Martin, and
was
FULLY IDENTIFIED
as Mrs., Gillis' assailant. Mrs. Gillis
was terribly maltreated, and has been
under the physicians care, lying in
precariouS condition, since. and is not
expected to live. Two pistol shots ring
ing out in the air, and wild cry of $50
away from here!" startled the people
living in the neighborhood OF the Jail
early this morning, and everybody in
that neighborhood was on the alert, and
the word passed quickly that a mob was
after Martin. The shots were fired by
the sheriff, but the mob of Is or 100
masked and blackened men surround
ing the Jail doors paid no attention to
the shots. Some had already gained an
entrance to the jailer's room, and were
battering in the jail door with sledge
hammers. The locks and catches Of
fered but momentary resistance, and
soon the men seized the mulatto, who
was in bed, and fastened
ROPE AROUND HIS NECK.
Martin resisted desperately, bracing
his knees against the cell door, while
twenty men were tugging at the rope
and others were kicking him in the back
of the head. He then grabbed at a
stove. which was jerked out of it's place,
and just before reaching the outside
door struggled to his feet. He was struck
a terrible blow in the back of the head
by a wagon stake, ard was sent head
first out into the street. He was then
struck on the head by sledge, and fully
twenty revolver shots were fired at him,
one shot taking effect in his head and
another in his back. He must have been
of the first block, but he was dragged
through the sand and over the pavement
to the Seventh street bridge, three blocks
from the Jail, where he was strung up to
the iron stringers. He was cut down by
the sheriff few minutes later, but he
was dead and mangled almost beyond
recognition. The whole affair did not
occupy more than twenty minutes.
Only the sheriff and turnkey were on
duty at the Jail, although they had been
warned that an attempt would be made
to lynch Martin.
