PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 8. - Detective
Geyer yestertla took up the disconnected
ends OF ensington's tragedy and tried
to make them meet The Detective aud
Lieutenant scott went to the Episcopal
Hospital and had long talk with NJ,
Kayser, the wife of the murderer and
suicide. Nothing of importance was
learned from her except that she told
the story of Saturday night and Sunday
morning with more detail than she had
done beford. She said that when her
husband came home drunk and excited
after the murder of Auna Klaus she re-
preached him and told him she heard he
had been flirting with young girl.
After that he became violent and drew
the pistol. An hour after they had
retired she remembers him getting up
and thinks he must have got the razor
and brought it back TO bed with him.
She said Ahe never suspected her hus-
hand of infdelity until a few days
before the crime Then II street car
conductors wife told her that "Otto
was running AFTER young women" Mrs.
Kayser did At feel the terrible cuts her
husband I'M ilicted upon her throat at the
time.
The police have adopted this theory;
That kaystr was much i'll love with
Anna Klaus, and had resolved to have
her. While he was in this frame OF
mind the girl learned of his matrimonial
relations. She accused him and threat
ened him with exposure.
He persuaded her to meet him once
more and lalk the matter over. This
meeting was fixed for Saturday night.
Upon joining her lie proposed the elope-
ment Sheindignantly refused and the
shooting 10 lowed.
After the shooting he must have
wandered about Kensiugtou, drinking
at several shloons and trying to decide
what had test be done. Evidently he
concluded il was best to go home. His
mind was in Snch n state when he
reached his home that it is believed he
suspected his wife of knowing his guilt,
and when the officer came in to take the
revolver, believed she was in league
with the police to capture him.
Mrs. Kayser is very much better
Her husband aud his victim will be
buried this afternoon
Discussing Fish.
Dr. Il. Shortlidge the acknowledged
fish oracle Df Delaware and "a number of
other Isaac Waltunites of the Rod and
Reel Association of Delaware, met in
the Board Of Education rooms last even
ing to discuss and take action upon the
fish interests of the Delaware river and
it's tributaries. DIR. Shortlidge presided
and j. Trayers Jones acted as secretary.
I he president stated that net fishing
had almostdestroyed fish in the Brandy
W inc which had always before been
good for rod and reel fishing. At the
suggestion of DR.. Wales, the president
and secretary were appointed n commit
tee to draft a resolution asking the
Delaware Legislature not to pass any
law which would take away the protec-
ton now afforded to the propagation
of fish in that stream. DIR. Shortlidge
deprecated the action Of thoughtless
anglers WHO would catch small fish and
throw them aside on the bank TO die
instead OF throwing them in the stream
again,
An act 10 compel these thoughtlesS
anglers, ID return small fish TO the
stream wduld save many hSh and III
crease the supply.
The president and secretary were in
structed to act as they thought best as a
committed on legislation on this subject.
The secretary presented and had read
the text OF an act now pending before
the Pennsylvania and New Jersey
Legislatures for the regulation of shad
and sturgeon fishing, which he thought
was detrimental to the fishing interests
of Delaware. At the suggestion of the
president Tho copy of the laws Will be
sent TO tho Delaware Legislature. The
sale of unsound fish in the market re-
ceived some consideration, and 1t was
suggested as a good plan to break up
this sale, that the wagons and wheel
barrows oil peddlers be numbered and
the police have supervision over the
matter.

place to buy your coal.
