That Hitchcock. the handsome villain
in this lamentable case, is man ut
terly unworthy the love of an honest
wife or pure young maiden, is evident
from the facts in the case, and he
stands confessed a bastard to whom
the sacred ties Of marriage, the revered
title of wife, the holy name of mother
and the sacred claims of young maiden
hood were alike dishonored. The cable
gram to the Herald, of New York, TELLS
the story as given yesterday, but adds
the details.
THE CORRESPONDENCE
in which Hitchcock reveals his shame
leSsness began with the first blue tele-
gram which he sent to his wife at din
ner on the day he disappeared, and read
as follows:
Do not expect me. Will write.
GEORGE HITCHCOCK.
TO his sister there was another, say
ing, with rare pathOs and brevity:
You must hold Agnes blameless forever
GEORGE HITCHCOCK.
To an acquaintance yet another:
Be good to madame. / think l am crazy.
Yours ever. G. HITCHCOCK
Next mornings post brought the fol-
lowing to Mrs. Hitchcock:
1 cannot say what must. Agnes condi-
ton can no longer be concealed. and dothe
only thing left me. I think am crazy.
Will you think SO and forget me?
A day later information came. to a
friend that he and Miss O'HallOran
were at hotel in Chantilly under the
name of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith. The let
ter said:
Have heard nothing since Wednesday, but
fear the worst know you think me quite

to his wife, saying:

Perhaps even now you may forgive me:
Don't despair, My Goa, try to live You will
be happy, but shall never be.
On Sunday last friend sought Hitch
cock, in company with the heart-brOken
sister, to endeavOr to persuade him
TO RETURN TO HIS WIFE,
who had offered to conceal his shame
and weakness in order to spare the grey
haired father OF the young girl.
Hitchcock, alias Smith, received Wis
itorS at the Hotel d d'Angleterre, to whom
he said:
Marriage is failure. My wife and I are in
compatible. l love this girl, ard no matter
if she had fifty lovers, to me she is virgin.
When the girls sister arrived he re-
fused to allow her to enter, but she
forced her way to Mrs. Smiths apart
ments, where. with weeping and pray
ers, she implored the girl to return and
spare the family the publicity. The
always bland Hitchcock replied:
If either one of you attempt to leave this
room will shoot you both.
The elder Miss O'Halloran was OBJ
liged to return to Paris alone, in spite
of her entreaties. The wretched girl
was followed by this parting Shot from
Hitchcock:
If you return to disturb me again will
send an account of this to every paper in
America.
The sister returned, having been
promised by her sister an interview the
following day. Early Monday morning
tilly with the necessary toilette articles
for the girl. Mrs. Hitchcock left Paris
last Monday night to sail with friends

defense. The court ruled the objection
was we'll taken. A long list OF Wit
nesses was then called by the defense
to show the violent conduct of COOMbS
while at the asylum. to show that john
Dates reputation for truth and yeraclty
was bad and to testify to the good char
acter of the defense. There were about
fifteen witnesses called for those puH4
poses, and their testimony occupied
the most OF the afternoon session.
1t was shown that COOmbs had been.
connected with number Of hghtS
with attendants and patients, and It
was proved that he was undoubtedly at
times dangerous man. Mr.. Wilson
made vigorous attack on Dates rep
utati0n for truth and veracity, and 2

was bad. Testimony was introduced
that probably established PeterSOn'S
good character beyond doubt. One OF
Beckman'S witnesses, however, failed
to give him a recommend. At 4:3O
EDWARD PETERSON
was put on the stand in his own defense.
He tells story so different from that OF
Date that one would scarcely recognize
it as tale told of the same affair. His
story is as follows: ''On the morning of
April we put Coombs and two other
patients on a scaffOld in the attendants
room washing the calcimining off the
ceiling, while we ourselves went to work
elsewhere. COOmbs soon cOmmenced
cursing and swearing, and was heard 70
say: If l had a butcher knife would

was disturbing the other patients
on the scatfold. Beckman called him
down and searched his pockets. We
then decided to put the muff on him,
and each took hold of him and took him
toward the clothes room for that pur-
pose. l stopped on the way and went
into the water closet. When he got to
the clothes room Beckman had C0ombs
in the corner. l got mop handle and
struck him over the legs and broke it.
then i
80 JERKED COOMBS DOWN
and Beckman fell over on him. striking
COombs in the breast with his knees.
COOmbs then wanted a drink, and we
let him 60 to the wash room to get it.
When he came out of the wash room he
rushed at me, and struck him in the
breast to keep him off. We then took
him and put him in the crib. 1 gave
him cup of tea at dinner time. He
said he did not want anything more,
and at o'clock we found him dead" !"
Peterson said they told the story Of his
falling because they were afraid to tell
the truth. He also testified to another
instance in which he had a fight with
Coombs, and he had bitten his finger
and cut his head with backing box.
and ,that;it finally took half dozen to
control him. He will be recalled in the
morning. The case will probably 60 to
the jury on Friday. =.

Agent Roman and Capt. Marchand of
the Interior department., have held sew
eraE consultations with the Flathead
chiefs, trying to induce them to surren-
the men wanted to the sheriff. A gent
leman just returned from Raville. gives
the following account of the fight be-
tween the sheriff and the Indians:
When the sheriff arrived at
Rayliie. Sunday morning, he found
that. the three Indians he was
IN search OF had left the place only a
few minutes before, and had gone west
along the railroad. Accordingly the
posse boarded freight train, and on
Oyertaking party of reds stopped the
train: and got off. when an Indian
started to run. He was ordered to halt,
which he finally did. but raised his rifle
90 bis shoulder to fire. when James Con-
icy raised his rifle and fired, dropping
hisman. The Indian Immediately re-
gained his feet and fred three times at
the party, who opened on him with a
fnsilade. three more bullets striking
him, from which he died Monday night.
At this juncture the posse was fired
nlan by party of about thirty Indians
frgm the east, and seeing that
they were outnumbered the posse
bent a hasty retreat to, the
heikht train, and went to Horse
Plains, where they telegraphed for as
sis6nce. A special train that passed
through from Horse Plains to Ravelli
Was fired upon Monday evening, one
bullet passing through the cab of the
engine. Gov. White received tele-
gram from Sheriff Heyfron this evening
telling him that the Indians were great
IL incensed against the Northern Pacific
Hallway, and are scattered along the
ltneef the road on the reservation, de-
claring their intention to make an at
tack upon the first train which comes
through. The talk with the chiefs
eRded this afternoon, and they positive
NTefused to deliver up the murderers
t0ssthe civil authorities. The sheriff
then called on. Col. Lawson for troops,
but he refused to act without orders
from Department Commander Ruger.

A Hot Debate Over Lord Salisbury's
Instructions to British Delegates.

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, June 26.-The liberal party is in
luck. The socialists who were growing mutinous
about the absence of labor questions from the
official program have been propitiated by the
attitude of the liberal leaders on the interna-
tional conference in Berne. Lord Salisbury ac-
cepted the invitation, but forbade the British
delegates to discuss limitation of hours of
labor OF adult males. Last night Cunningham
Graham and John Morley raised vigorous pro-
test against this in the commons Graham,
the socialist advocates an eight-hour bill;
Morley, the political economist, denounces it,
and both agreed in opposing the government,
whose veto on the discussion practically de-
stroys British influence at the conference in
pressing for an assimilation of the continental
conditions Of labor to the English. The debate
In the house was interesting and suggestive
and the result was a majority for the govern
ment OF 65, but the 189 members of the ma
Jority will find the veto on the discussion diff
cult to justify before their constituents
In the house of lords the tory dukes almost
threw out the land transfer bill. In the largest
muster of peers this session the government
only escaped by majority of 9. The feeling
of the peers is that the government is passing
radical measure they have spent their lives
in denouncing. The narrow escape creates a
sensation, and will probably doom the bill
