ST. JOHN VS.. ST. JOHN.
Interest Unabated in the Sensationa
Divorce Case.


Interest Unabated in the Sensational
Divorce Case.
LONDON, Dec. 7.-Interest is unabated
in the st. John divorce case, the crowd
at the court this morning being large
and composed mostly of theatrical peo-
pie. The first witness this morning was
Surgeon Cooper, who was called to sup
port the charges of cruelty made by Miss
st. John. He testified that he attended
her after being beaten by her husband.
He examined her and found bruise on
her breast; her back was also injured.
and she was suffering much pain.
Gill, counsel for Marius, resumed his
questioning of Miss st. John, who was
on the stand Saturday. He examined
her as to her relations with Arthur
Cohen, with whom Marius charges his
wife was criminally intimate. Miss st.
John said while she and Cohen were at
Monte Carlo the latter gave her gold
purse. Cohen used to call her Florence,
and she called him Arthur. When her
husband BECAME involved in litigation
she lent him money. She received a
salary OF e6 weekly when she first came
to London. Afterwards her salary was
advanced to 976 week. The most valua-
BILE present Cohen ever gave her was
worth EGO. She received far more valua-
BILE presents from other persons.
In response to questions put to her by
Gill, Miss st. John said she had pre-
pared a deed of separation between her
self and her husband. The deed con-
tanned no clause requiring chastity on
| her part.

SING SING, N. Y, Dec. MARTIN d.
Loppy, the wife murderer, was executed
in the state prison here today, by cleo
tricity, at three minutes past noon. Ac-
cording to Warden Brown, the execu-
ton was carried out the same as at the
time OF the killing of four men in the
same chair in July last. The warden
refused to give any information, except
to say that the law was carried out, and
that the execution OF Loppy was sue
cess.
Loppy was more intelligent than any
of the other murderers who were con-
fined in the death house. He listened
to the reading of the death warrant with
bowed head, and when the warden had
finished the doomed man was led out OF
his cage. The little procession then
started for the death chamber. War
den Brown and Keeper Connaughton
walked ahead of Loppy, who had
to be led through the dark passage
way on account of his partial
blindness. He was promptly placed in
the chair and strapped. The electrodes
were then applied to the condemned
man, one covering his forehead and
temples and the other the calf of his
right leg. The electrodes were moist
ened with a solution of salt water before
the current was turned on.
None OF the witnesses would reveal
how Loppy died. 1t is understood that
l4S5 volts, the same as in the July exc
| fr,rupH and that q
current at that voltage was continued
from fifty to sixty seconds.
As soon as Loppy was pronounced
dead, the straps which bound his body
were removed and the dead murderer
carried into an apartment directly of
the execution room, where an autopsy
was held. Loppy's remains were then
placed in a rough pine coffin and some
time after sundown this evening the
coffin was placed In grave filed with
quicklime.

THE DYNAMITER.
RUSSELL SAGES ENEMY FORMER
LY A RESIDENT HERE.
He Tramped Here From Arizona Eleven
Years Ago-Men Who Met Him-He
Was Thorough Crank.

W.D. Southworth, the man who blew
himself to little pieces in Russell Sage's 8
Office in New York last week, was
formerly quite we'll known in this city.
A HERALD reporter yesterday met I.
w. Neeley, who said II used to know
Southworth quite we'll. Yes, I am sure
he is the bomb-thrower. don't re-
member exactly the date 1 first met
him, but think it was ten or eleven
years ago. He was sort of book ped
dler or Bible agent. and used to go con-
siderably with w. w. Creighton, who
was then editor OF the. Star. He was a
queer, highty sort of fellow. l think he
was something of a newspaper man
himself"
L. H. Bentley, the wellknown attor-
ney, used to know the bomb-thrower
quite we'll. "He came here, l think, in
$780," said Mr.. Bentley. "He had jus
got in from Arizona and had walked all
the way and was horrible looking object,
dirty and ragged and penniless. He
had met my partner Moye Wicks in Ar
izona, and he came right to our Office.
He was in such a wretched condition
that we fitted him out with our old
clothes. l remember he was lust about
my size and gave him number of old
coats and vests. After we got him
cleaned up, he looked quite respectable,
but he became frightful bore. He was
always talking about how he proposed
to revolutionize the social order of
things. He considered that millionaires
were criminals and often said that they
should be blown to pieces. His greatest
fad, however, was the organizing OF a
transcontinental railway company which
should transport people across the con-
tinent at 81 head. He became great
nuisance as l say, because he would
never let up talking on these matters.
He was very we'll educated, and must
say he knew all about railroad matters,
freight rates. and the like; but he was
one of the worst cranks / ever met.
'He remained here for two or three
months. think he wrote some articler
ON his peculiar ideas for weekly pa
per. l think he was a native of Nash
vile, Tenn. l know he was southern
man. He did not beg, and seemed to
have enough to live on, though where
he got his money to live on don't
know. Ialways considered him harm
less, though it is true his language
against rich men and corporations was
very strong"
Lewis the Light said of Southworth
yesterday: l knew w. ID. Southworth
in San Francisco in 1885. He ran the
"grand army of labor" but his regular
hobby was Overland for a dollar" L
never regarded him as dangerous
man; on the contrary, he was very
mild man. He never preached dyna-
mite or assassination. When he took
the anarchist degrees he found that
they would not help him except with
dynamite, and then he drew out of their
organization.

A REMARKABLE CRIME.
A Wife Assists Her Sick Husband to
Commit Suicide.

MARysvILLE, CAL, Dec. 7. - News
reached here today of remarkable
crime. On December 1st Frenchman
named Lowrens Sigourette, who had
been sick for some time, took a dose of
strychnine. The poison did not have
immediate effect, and he asked his wife
to get his shotgun and shoot him. This
she did, but death was notinstantaneous.
He then told her to pile brush around
him and set it afre. She refused to do
it herself, but went to the cabin OF a
neighbor and asked him to assist in the
cremation. The neighbor refused and
sent for constable. When the latter
arrived Sigourette was dead. The
woman has not been arrested, but the
sheriff will investigate.

with embezzlement:
"'If it [the easel would be taken from

it would be taken to another Justice,

JUDGMENT AGAINST HOLMES.
The Pacific Gable Railway Magnat
Mulcted for $I64,OOO.


Mulcted for @164,OOO.
CHICAGO, Dec. Some months ago
the Pacific Railway company of Illinois,
a corporation operating cable street
railway system in Los Angeles, Cal, got
into financial difficulties, owing about
$2,5eo,000. Several Chicago banks were
understood as being involved more or less
deeply. G. B. Holmes of this city, presi-
dent of the company, was subsequently
made defendant in a number of suits to
recover on notes given by him to raise
money to equip the lines. Judgment
was entered against him today in the
circuit court for sums aggregating
$l64 ,000. The complainants were Rob-
ert Law and Charles Whitacre, the
latter, it is supposed, representing the
banks. The defense claimed that the
complainants had already recouped
themselves by selling securities of the
Pacific and other companies, which had
beeh given as collateral with the notes.
Appeals will be taken.
