dropped from bis grasp that he real
ixld thot be waa a murderer, and he
fIsd ia terror from the spot. The
ne|ehbofhood happened 20 be de-
serted and no one witnessed his
flight. He hid IN the nearest clump
Of woods, and before hecoUld decide
whether 1t would be best for him to
leave the locality or remain. the
pursuers were around him. So
thoroughly was he acquainted with
the Surroundings, however, that be
was enabled to eIude the searchers,
and It was only lack Of food that
finally compelled him to surrender.
He declared that he had not at any
time been more than three miles
away from Lipthwaise since the
murder, and most of the time WAS
closer than that. Once, while
crouching under a haystack, be
heard the police, who had halted
under the shade Of the stack, discuss
plans for his detection. At another
time large party Of citizens sur
rounded file woods where he was
hidden While the whole popula-
tion was on theslookout for him he
was lying in bitches, in the heather,
or concealed In niarshy spots In the
nelghborlng nioors by day, leaving
his hiding place at night to prowl
for food All that he could find to
eat was herbs and wild currants,
which formed his entire diet for
seventeen days. Hunger and re-
morse tormepted him into visions IL
which he says he saw the bleeding
form Of his victim as If the horrible
tragedy was being enacted. He fell
himself growing mad, and unable to
longer endure the tortures which
racked him in body and mind, he
turned his steps last night toward
his mothers home. In the garden
he found some growing beans on
which be fed raveDously, this being
the first food that could be called
edible that he had eaten since the
moment of his flight, then realizing
that he was too weak and i'll to con-
tInue the hardshlps of the past
fortnight. he yielded 10 the impuls'
TO arouse his aged mother and pour
out the story Of his sin and suffering
to her compassionate heart. The
sorrowing mother was nearly pros
trated by the recital. There was
but one course for her topursue how
ever; concealment was impossible,
even had she felt equal to the task
of attempting It. She sent for the
officers Of the law, who came to the
house and placed Stockwell In Gus
tody. He could not have resisted
arrest, being so weak that he had to
be carried on a stretcher yesterday
to the court room, where he was
quickly arraigned, pleaded guilty,
and was remanded into the hands
of the officers. A large crowd had
gathered. the news ofthe murderer's
surrender having quickly spread,
and the police had considerable
difficulty Ia getting their prisoneI
safely through the angry mob to
jail, where he remains under strong
guard.
DEFINITELY SETTLED.
WAsHINoToN, Sept. 0.--The Chill
Ian situation Is gradually assuming
stable unaracte, and less interest
is manifested In official circles since
II Is taken for granted that the new
government with General Mont
was fully installed IN the confidenc,
Of the people, aud all that Is lacking
TO an official recognition by various
powers Is perfection of the details
Of government. Mr.. Egan has full
instructions on that point, and
when he indicates 10 the United
States that the time IL ripe for
such action, the state department
will formally recognize the nc
credited representatives oflhe Montl
government at Washington, and
the cardinal relations between tn,
United States and Chill will be re
sumed.
