McDOW'S CHARMER
Tells How She Met and Kissed Dawson'i
Murderer.

Tells How She Met and Kissed Dawson's q
Murderer.
CHARLRsToN, S. O., June 25.-The Nc
Dow trial was relumed this morning. The
court room was we'll filed and the popu-
lar interest undated John h. Dever-
aux, Henry Oliver, and Mike Hogan were
examined by the State to establish Nc
DOw's attempt II bury Capt. Dswson's
body after the she )ting. The evidence in
this point was overwhelming. The State
thus far has established beyond question
the fact of the killing, the fact that Nc
Dow shot Dawson in the back and the fact
that he tried to bury the body.
After the examination of Hogan to-day,
Helene, the French governess of Captain
Dawson's children, and the cause OF the
shooting, was put on the stand. She testi-
fed that she met Mellow for the first time
on February l, and had almost daily inter-
views with him until the day of the shoot
ing. She had an interview with him in
Captain Dawson's library; also in an out
house in Captain Dawson's yard. He had
kissed her twice. The final interview
was in the upper part of the city, where
Mellow endesvored to take her into the
room in the house of an old cOlored woman,
she refused and returned home. She had
given and received books. Mellow slso
gave her gold watch; he had promised to
get divorce from his wife. She never
permitted any imprOprieties, and thought
McDOws object in asking her to go into
the colored womsn's house was to escape
discovery by detective, said by Mellow
to be following them.

But OWL Service Reform Gets the Gold
Shoulder.
COLUMBUS, June % The Republican
State Convention assembled at the Metro
politan Opera House at 4 p. m. The stage
was elaborately decorated. In addition 10
the s28 delegates there were over 1000
spectators Congressman MeKinley's ap-
pesrance as a delegate from the Eighteenth
district wal greeted with enthusiastic ap-
plsuse.
Hon. W. O. Cooper, of Mt. Vernon, was
made temporary chairman, and made a
fine address, touching upon the tariff,
pensions and civil service reform, as well
as matters of State interest. His remarks
fsvoring civil service were not enthusias-
ticallv received. The mention OF
Governor Foraker's name called for an ex-
nression from the convention that
indicated the sentiment on the probable
nominee for Governor. At the close OF
Mr. Cooper's address there was universal
cali for Mckinley, but that gentleman
did not resi- ond, aud the Convention re.
snmed business in the appointment oil
committees. e
The Convention adopted resolutions OF
sympathy and regret at the death OF Mrs.
HAYES. and adjourned until 10 a. m. to-
morrow.

The Wife Of the Ex-Presdent Dies Peaceably at Si1
O'Clock Yesterday MOrning-A Sketch Of
the Dead Womans Lifs-Simon
Osmsron's Condition.

FREMONT, June 25.-Mrs. Hayes died
this morning at hslf-psst six o'clock, after
passing the night quietly.
All night long the surrounding family
watched around the bedside. Mrs. Hayes
lay motionlCls, and, but for the faint
breathing and the weak futtering of the
pulse, there were no signs of life. The
anxious watchers waiting only for the in
evitable end, were bowed with grief, and
scarcely word was spoken the long night
through. The physicians kept in the back
ground, and the family were alone with
their loved one.
In vain they hoped for slight rally that
might come before death, so that she could
recognize and speak to them. AS morning
dswned the hold on life grew weaker, and
finally the spirit took flight. In a voice
choked with grief, the physician an
nouDced that the end had come, and the
fsmily's long vigil closed in prostrstion
and grief. Gen. Hayes ard his four
grown sons, Burchard, Webb, Bud and
Scott, were deeply affected, while Fannie
is nearly prostrated with grief and her
long sleepless watch at her mothers bed
eide.
The entire city is in mourning and flags
are at half mast kilograms of coincidence
have been received from many friends,
among them President and Mrs. Harrison.

CHICAGO, June 25-The police sr'
working industriOusly in running dowr
clews - the whereabouts of Cooney, the
Cronin suspect. They have issued circu
lar photograph of him, accompanied by
the following description:
"Patrick Cooney, Irish, about 35 years
old, 5 feet 81 inches tall, 1855 pounds, full
chested, 40-inch girth, round face, sal
low complexion, slightly pOckmarked
and freckled light blue or gray

gent talker and has a slight English &C
cent. Is quick and precise in movement
and acts as though he had a military train
ing. He is wanted for the murder Of P.
II. Cronin. All information should be
addressed to George W. Hubbard, General
superintendent of Police, Chicago"
Twenty or thirty thousand of these cir
culars will be printed and scattered broad
cast over this country and the Csnadas and
some will ne sent to the English authori-
ties at Scotland yard.
Oulel IuDDdIu lcCClNCu u hlS pntSh iooi
night, from some as yet unknown point,
that COoney had been captured. Detec-
tive Palmer left on midnight train, tax
ing another man with him TO identify the
much wanted partner of Burke, This
morning another detective followed him.
Lieut. Horace Elliott would not deny
that Palmer had left the city. "At this
stage of the game" he said, II cannot tell
you anything. Perhaps the Chief will give
YOU the information"
Capt. Schuettler's officers have found an
old suit Of clothes belonging to Patrick
Cooney, the fugitive murderer, and 1t is
said they contain number of blood spots.
Capt. Schuettler would not deny or affirm
this story, nor would be permit reporters
to examine the clothes. FroIl one OF
Cooney's friends it was learned that the
suit captured by the police was worn by
Cooney for month previous to Dr. Gro
Minis murder, and was only discarded on
the Sunday following the crime.

Scalping Knives Out and the Blood Flows
Freely.
COLUMBUS, o., June 25.-rhe indiea-
tiOns multiply tonight that Governor
Foraker will he nominated for third term
on Wednesday His friends claim that
the first county on the call of the roll will
cast its vote solid for him and the Conven-
ton will be stsmpeded on the first ballot.
Many of Senator Sherman's friends are
here to prevent Foraker's nomination, and
thsv are keeping the third term CRY up TO
high itch. This will have some effect
on the delegates from the agricultural dis
tricts.
1t is said, and it is probably true, that
before going to Europe Senator Sherman
selected a man in each of the eighty-eight
counties 10 represent him in the distribn-
ton of Federal offices within the county
limits For the larger offices these gentle
men are to meet by Congressional districts
and determine the question OF bestOwal
and their recommendation is necessary to
an appointment They are all expected
to be in attendance at the Convention and
use the influence of the patronage they
control against Foraker. But IN spite OF
this, If be desires the nomination he can
receive it. There Is a rumOr to night,
which probably comes from Sherman cir
cles, that Foraker will withdraw absolute
lv and have the nomination 20 to Gen. A.
K. Bushnell, thereafter taking his chances
Tor the Senatorship.
Ii is rumored that President Harrison
took = hand in a deal that has been made
between the Foster and FOrOker factions.
Bv il Foraker Is TO receive the support of
Foster and the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette people for Governor, and in re-
turn is TO obligate himself not to enter or
permit himself to be drawn into the race
for the Senate, leaving that prize to ne
competed for by Hslstesd, Foster and But
terworth The President is given to un-
derstand nv The Foraker people that the
Governor is really tired of his present Of
fee. and If elected again will be open to
an offer Of some place under the National
Government. This, it is claimed, will en-
able the making Of the State tickets all the
stronger, since the candidate for Lieuten-
ant-GOvernor will be assured of promotion
10 first place in case of success before the
people 1t is left to conjecture what office
roraker Is TO receive at the Presidents
hands in case be wins the coming fight at
home and contributes to the bringing
about of harmony in he contest for the
SenstOrship.
The Attorney Gensrslship may be va
cant by that time BY the elevation OF Part
uer Miller to the Supreme Bench, and
Foraker's friends think he is big enough
for that. Then there are others who say
that the German Mission will be kept open
awaiting the result The settlement OF
the Samoan question by special commits
siouers takes away any pressing need for
the presence Of United States Minis
ter at Berlin, and the new man, 1t Is con-
tended, need not reach mis- POST before next
winter. No one doubts, of course, that
either of the places named would be Jump
ed at by Governor Foraker if held out to
him

SNoHoMIsH, W. T., June 25.-James
Wickersham, the millionaire Judge Of
King County, who was convicted at the
last term of court of betrayal and perjury,
aud against whom dozen similar charges
are now panding, stands good chance of
being able 10 escape the penitentiary. The
case, or rather series of cases, are the most
sensational ever brought into the courts of
this Territory. Sadie Brathner, the prose
cutrix, has made an affidavit in which she
clears Judge Wickersham of the charge of
betrayal and claims that Steel Baker, one
of the most prominent men in Tacoma.
caused her fall as far back as 1885-fully
two years before she met Wickersham. She
cOnfesses that she held like relations with
several prominent merchants of Tacoma,
whoee names are not given. She retracts
every word of her testimony given at the
famous trial last Spring, and repudiates
sffidavits she subsequently made for the
prosecution. She accuses the officers of
forcing her to testify against Wickersham.
