FRENCHY HER MURDERER
TEE POLICE Theory BASED ON
GOOD REASONS.

Es Slept Across the Hall From the
Murdered Woman's Room and Had
Formerly Been Ber Lover-Eis Socks
and Finger Nails Dyed With Blood.
NEW YORK, April 30.-InsDector Byrnes
tas at last fastened the crime for the muir
der of the woman Carrie Brown. Then
derer Is "Frenchy No. l." who was arrested
Friday night, less than twenty-four hours
after committing the crime, and who has
been under lock and key ever since.
On the night the murder was committed
"Frenchy No. l" occupied room No. 33 in the
Fourth Ward hotel with a woman by the
name of Mary Ann Lopez. This room was
across the hall from that occupied by the
woman Brown and her unknown compan-
ion
STOLE ACROSS TO MURDER HER.
From information in the possession of the
police, it appears that tie murdered
woman's companion left her some time be-
fore o'clock Friday morning. ''Frenchy
No. /" had been at one time a lover of the
woman, bnt for some reason had become
insanely jealous of her. He heard her com
panion leave the room, aud shortly after
ward he got up and leaving his roommate,
Mary ann LOD6H, asleep, crossed Lne nall
and deliberately stranRled and then disem-
boweled his victim. This is the story Of the
police.
BASIS OF THE THEORY.
1t is suhstantiated by the following facts:
When "Frenchy No. /" had completed his
murderous work he recrossed the hall and
entered room No. SO. In that room he left
evidences Of bis guilt. When the police
made their investigation traces of blood
were to be found on every side. The only
chair the room contained was covered with
blood smeared over it from the clothes which
the murderer wore, he having sat down
upon it when he entered the room. The bed
clothes we're found TO be covered with
blood, the murderer some time during the
night having thrown himself upon the bed.
HIS STOCKINGS SOAKED WITH BLOOD.
His stockings, he having removed his
shoes to do his bloody work, were soaked
with blood, and his clothing was also COW
cred with blood. On the walls and ceiling
OF the little room many small spots Of
blood were found, the man having evident
" entered the room with his hands reeking
with blood, and in his desire to remove 1t
he had shaken and snapped his hands and
fingers, thus iberally distributing it around
the room.
BLOOD UNDER HIS NAILS.
When the fellow was arrested, Inspector
Byrnes examined his hands and finger
nails. The latter he carefully scraped and
found plain and distinct traces of human
blood. To positively establish the fact
the scrapings and dirt found under his
nails were submitted to chemical analysis.
From the time the man was arr ested but
little could be learned from him. He has
made few statements, but all have been
50 very contradictory that the police have
been able to make but little use of them.

GOVERNMENT FINANCES.

No Change to be Made in the Form
of the Debt Statement.
WASHINGTON, April 30-There will be
no change made by the treasury depart
ment at present in the form in which the
public debt statement is issued, nor of the
statement showing the assets and liabilities
Of the government. Secretary Foster said
this afternoon that the whole financial ques-
ton will be held in abeyance until President
Harrsson's return to the city.
1t is expected that the public debt state
ment to be issued tomorrow will show a
decrease in the public debt OF somewhat
over 100000 This small decrease is said
at the department to be due in part to the
large payments that have beel made on
account Of the direct tax fund, tobacco tax
rebate and other matters.

RECIPROCITY WITH SPAIN.
Gen. Foster + PRESENTS the Draft of the
agreement to Blaine.

agreement to Blaine.
WASHINGTON, April SO.-Gen. Foster
placed in Secretary Blaine's hands to-day
the commercial arrangement concluded by
him with Spain under the reciprocity sec
tion of the Mckinley act. Neither Secretary
Blaine nor Gen. Foster would say a word
about it to-day, nor will they say anything
on the subject until the agreement Is
formally published by the President
which will not be until his re-
turn week after next, but it is
understood that under the agreement Spain
comedies in return for the admission by the
Mckinley act of sugar. molasses, coffee,
tea and hides from the Antilles free of
duty, the admission from the United States
of long list OF agricultural products free
Of duty, and the admission at reduced rates
of manufactured products, notably flour,
lard, machinery aud petroleum. In some
cases the reduction is said to leave only a
nominal duty, as in the case Of the Brazil
ian agreement.
BLAINE CoNGRATULATEs HIMsRF.
Secretary Blaine congratulates himself on
having gotten these concessions SO long be-
fore Jan. l, 1892. when under the Mckinley
act he could have had the Presidents power
behind him. The more reciprocity agree
ments Secretary Blaine can make before
Jan. next the more difficule 1t will be
for President Harrison to appropriate Score
tary Blaine's reciprocity thunder. but SO
delicate are the relations between them
that Secretary Blaine dare not even
admit to-day the fact that this
Spanish agreement had been concluded
lest President Harrison should have
some suspicion of his loyalty. President
Harrison insists that whatever public an
nouncements are to be made about these
reciprocity agreements shall be made by
him, and not by his Secretary Of State.

THE State Historical society rooms are
becoming so filled that some provision
must be made by the legislature in a few
years for the valuable property which the
state owns. Few people outside of Madi-
son have any idea of the valuable collec-
ton of books, paintings, curios, photo
graphs, documents and relics crammed
into the unpretentIous rooms in the south
wing of the capitol. A freproof building
especially designed for the collection
should be erected Immediately so that
visitors to the capitol may get an idea of
the splendid collection in possession of
the commonwealth. At present pictures
and books are SO crowded upon the walls
and shelves that their value or contents
cannot be known or appreciated. In fact,
so much that is of value is in rooms
seldom visited by strangers that 1t seems
a pity that special building has not
long since been constructed.
