DASTAKDLY ASSASSINS.
Three Men Murder an Orphan in
Cold Blood.


Special to the Globe.
OsAGE, TO-, Feb. 4.-NOrth Iowa IS
getting more than its share of notOriety
from the frequency OF its murder trials,
The third one within two months is the
case of Warren Murphy, accused of the
murder of Henry Stocum, now on trial
at Usage before Judge John G. Sher-
wood. The story of the crime is as fol-
lows: On Sunday night. July Is. be.

peaceful. inOffensive fellOw-waS going
home, when he met three young men in
the road and stepped aside to let them
pass. One OF the largest ones, by the
name of Carna O'Brien. without a word,
struck him over the head, knocking him
down. He hit him several times while
he was down, and when Stocum got upon
his hands and knees O'Bripn jumped
on his back and chOked him, call
him." While O'Brien held StOcum,
Murphy kicked him in brutal manner.
The cries of Stocum for help were heard
half a mile or more away, but tie neigh
bOrS thinking that the sound came from
boys at play. did not go to his assist
ance. Finally, after they had pounded
him as long as they dared they let him
up, and bruised and pleading he started
to go away from them. but they fol-
lowed him up, kicking and beating him
unmercifully. When within few rods
of residence the assailants left
StOcum, and although he was then IN a
dying condition he made his way into
the house where he related the
outrageous treatment he had re-
ceived from the hands of O'Bren
and Murphy. A warrant was
issued for their arrest and the boys
were taken before a justice, and were
liberated by the payment of a nominal
fine. Considering the seriousness Of
the Offense, much indignation was eX-
pressed at the trivial manner in which
it was then regarded. StOcum fingered
along in great PAIN until the following
Saturday, when he died, remarking
short time before death came that ''if
he should die it would be because the
boys pounded him So" County AttOr-
ney Browne at once drew up warrant
for the arrest of the boys on charge Of
murder i'm the first degree. O'Brien

guilty of manslaughter and was SEN

a witness to a crime committed by
O'Brien and the latter was afraid that
Stocum would testify against him. He
and Murphy also held grudge against
StOcum on account of testimony he
once gave in law suit. They had
threatened to ''do up" StOcum several
times. Two weeks before the assault
was made O'Brien told neighbor that
he was going to pound Stocum. On the
Thursday preceding the assault O O'Brien
told another neighbor that "he would
pound h out of Stocum.n On the
MurphyS were at another neighbOr'S
inquirng for StOcum. 1t is generally
considered that the state has a strong,
case against Murphy. but he manifests
no uneasiness at his impending fate.

The Casting Of a Die Decided
Which One Should Com
NIT Suicide.
Rudolph Lost Two Horses, and
Then Took His Own
Life.
TWenty-Four Lives Lost by a
Collision of Ships at
Sea.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-AnOther SenSa-
tional story relative to the death of the
Austrian crown prince comes from
Brussels. 1t is asserted that the crown
prince became entangied in an affair OF
honor with high Austrian family, and
that it was decided that the prince and
a son OF the family in question should
fight duel on the so-called American
plan, according to which method dice
are thrown to decide which OF the
duelists shall commit suicide. The
dice were thrown, land Rudolph lost.
The time specified for the suicide of the
loser was three months, and at the eX-
piration of that period the crown prince
fulfilled his engagement and took his
own life. The fact that during the time
mentioned Rudolph was apparently
preparing for his coming death seems
to give color to the foregoing story.
Emperor Francis Joseph is re-
ported to have said to Herr Won
Tisza that he had lost all hope
and faith in his sons future, and that
nothing was left now but sense OF duty
to him. The Crown Princess Stephani
has decided to remain in Vienna. Her
affection for the emperor and his own
many manifestations of regard have
caused her to come to this decision.
The Vienna correspondent of London
journal asserts that when the door
of Crown Prince Rudolph's room
was forced open the body of a beautiful
young Bohemian lady was also found.
The correspondent asserts that the
crown prince first killed her with re-
volver, and then shot himself, and that
the body of the lady was conveyed Sc
cretly to the seat of her family in BO-
hemia. Two other versions of the al
legged double tragedy are current, and
have already been cabled abroad, but
the foregoing account IS most generally

Patriotic Austrians Take a Last
Look at the remains of Crown
Prince Rudolph
VIENNA, Feb. 4.-AS the day pro-
gressed the approaches to the court
chapel became more and more densely
packed with people anxious to gain
vantage point from which to view the
remains of Crown Prince Rudolph. The
crush was so great that the line of
troops. formed to keep open a way to
the chapel, was broken several times,
resulting in great confusion and the in
iurlng of number of persons. Many
women who got caught in the great
crush tainted and we're with difficulty
extricated and carried out from tine
crowd. Emperor Francis Joseph, in re-
ceiving Baron Won Fejervary and other
Hungarian ministers to-day, expressed
his satisfaction at the tone of the Vienna
and Pesth journals with reference to
the political situation. The attitude of
the press, he said, had been great
solace to him in his grief. The emperor
I Rudolph's 'AuStria-Hungary in Word
and Picture.'' Herr Won Szoegyenye,
an official of the imperial household.
has gone to LuXemburg to take charge
of papers left by the crown prince. The
emperor and the empress go to PeSth OH
Saturday next.
One hundred single candles in tall
candlesticks burn on the dais in the
chapel, and at each corner of the daiS
stands a candelabrum with thirty can
dies. The lights appear to rise out of
garden of flowers. Queen Victoria's
wreath of white roses is placed at the
head of the bier. Upon the wreath is
this inscription: "Ein zeichen eiuniger
freundschaft." 1t is untrue that a wax
mask covers the features of the dead
prince. A
SMALL DARK BULLET HOLE
in the right temple is clearly visible.
Among the handsomest wreathS is one
of cainelIias and yellow roses from Paris
Journalists. The wreath of the crown
princess is inscribed simply ''Von
Define Stefanie," and that of the queen
of Spain, True Remembrance"
Numerous visitors continue to arrive at
Meyerling, but nobody is adj
mitted to the residence of the
crown prince. The coffin was
closed this afternoon and the public
did not see the crown princes face.
The coffin will be opened again to-mor-
row morning, but only the crown
princes parents Will be allowed a
final view of the remains. At the
service eighty seats will be allotted to
the members of the diplomatic body
and two to journalists. Windows on
the route of the funeral procession are
being let at high prices. 200 and 300 flor
ins being paid. Several foreign news
papers, including the Neueste Mach
richten, of Munich, have been confis-
Gated in the pOstOffice because they
contained alleged fanciful accounts of
the incidents preceding Rudolph's sui
eide. The council of Austrian and
Hungarian ministers meets on Wednes-
day to decide whether fresh state
ment ought to be published with view
of putting an end to the many rumors
current. The Times Vienna cor
respondent, in denying the statement
that the Austrian crown princess was
taking music lesson when she heard
of her husbands death, says there are
reasons why this should be denied.

O'Farrell has ordered that Mr.. O'Brien
