MEXICAN JUSTICE.

Colonel Sampson, United States ConsuB
at PasS del Sorte, Says the Administra"
ton of Mexican Justice to American Of
tenders is Not Nearly So Black as it 10
Painted.
DENVER, Col, Oct. 22.-Col0ue1 a. J.
Sampson, United States Consul at Paso
del Norte, is in Denver on business. Col
onel Sampson was asked regarding the
numerous complaints which have been
sent out relative to the alleged ill-trcat-
ment of Americans arrested in Paso del
Norte, and said:
ARRESTS have been wildly exagger-
ated. If an Americana disobeys the law
in Mexico he is arrested just the same
as a Mexican would be in the United
states Mexican laws differ from those
of our country. If an American can not
abide by their laws he should not re-
main there. Tho officers are supposed
to- uphold the law, and, so far as | can
see, they do so. Americans are given as
speedy trial as possible; in fact, l
think there is some discrimination in
their favor. 1t is the Consuls duty at
Paso del Norto to look out that other
prisoners are not given preference over
Americans; that trials are conducted
fairly, and many of the cases which
have been reported 10 American news
papers, l know from mJ own personal
observation, are greatly exaggerated"

LANCASTER, Pa, Oct 22.-Mrs. Caro-
line Icttley, of New Hyland, small

rlfied to find that it contained
the body of her daughter Helen. Tho
woman summoned physicians and asked
that post-moitem examination be
held. As the doctors we're assisting in
removing the body from the box they
noticed that the evidences of death
were not there. no rigidity was APP
parent not sign of decomposition.
The girl was placed in bed

hands were found to bo warm and a
slight flush appeared on the checks.

London Special: Intense excitement
was created in the political circles gem
erally, but more particularly In the ranks
OF the Irish National Party, when the
was made that the Roman
Catholic hierarchy, ,of. ireland, had reached
the unanimous conclusion that the posi-
tion was such as to render absolutely
necessary the retirement from the
leadership of Mr.. Parnell. The an
nouncPment of the conclusion was
accompanied by the statement that,
while there is no desire to coerce the
Parliamentary Representatives Of the
Irish party, tho decision OF the hierarchy
would be publicly announced, Il n the
proposed Parnelite meeting, any attempt
was made to whitewash Mr.. Parn4ll. 1t
was also intimated that should the mani
festo to the Irish people, fail to 6eny and
disprove the grave charges that stand
against that gentleman, as consequence
of the verdict In the recent divorce suit,
action would be taken without waiting
for, or regarding the results Of the meet
ing.

just made its appearance, isa document
of great length. In it the Irish leader
boldly deties his enemies and appeals to
the people of Ireland to sustain him in

Robert M. White, the lawyer, Of New
York, who ran q bogus divorce mill at
145 Broadway and fed TO avoid arrest,
recently succeeded In swindIing three
Hartford women, one man. and probably
others yet to hear from. His victims
also include New Haven people. About
year ago o woman in Nebraska who
supposed that she had been divorced
by decree at Newington, Conn,
found, when she was about to marry
another man, there was cause to fear
that she had been duped by this same
lawyer and was not divorced. She wrote
letter addressed to the "Clerk of the
Superior Court Of Newington, Newington
County, Conn." She learned In time
that she had been defrauded.F In one
case, which recently came to light, White
secured from woman total OF $38.
She saw an advertisement In New York
paper of divorces granted without pub
licity and wrote to secure his services.
The result was she paid him IS advance
and later $33 for alleged decree of
divorce which came to her G. O. ID.
through the United States Express. 1t
was dated at Hebron, asmall village In
