RISING Sun, Md, April 17.-The fu-
neral of Mrs. Richards took place yes
terday. Detective Ottey arrived from
York, Pa, yesterday, where he had
gone to examine two tramps who had
been arrested on suspicion of the muir
der. The tramps were, however dis
charged after an examination. The de-
tective interviewed Mr.. Richards, and,
as far as the wounded mans condition
would allow. the circumstances of the
murder were discussed.
that gentleman thinks that Bran is the
man who was in his room and fired the
shot at his wife. What the reasons are
for this statement Ottey refuses to di-
yulge.
1t has been proved that the bullet
taken from Mrs. Richards brain was
from rimfire cartridge of 32 caliber.
The two cartridges found in Bram's re-
volver are of the same make, style and
size.
In order that there should be no mis-
take Sheriff Boyd and Detective Ottey
went to Columbia and obtained an affi-
davit from Conductor Haller to the eff
feet that he talked with Bran ON Mon
day morning at II o'clock at Perryville,
thus destroying the last shred to which

The Premier Answers Questions
Regarding Blaine's Letter.
THE INCIDENT NOT YET CLOSED

Rudini Says the Matter Cannot End
Until Our Government: Acknowl-
edges the Duty of Indemnifying
the Families of the New Orleans
Victims-Believes it VIII Be Settled
Peacefully.
ROME, April 17.-The reply Of Secre-
tary Blaine received attention in the
chamber of deputies yesterday. Cues
tions in regard TO it were raised by var
ious members. Premier Rudini, in re-
plying said that the Italian government
had not get received Mr.. Blaine's note.
He was not prepared to make definite
statement to the chamber of the views
and purposes Of the cabinet until the
note had been officially received and
carefully read and considered. How
ever, he would say that Italy could not
admit that the diplomatic incident was
closed until the United States had ac-
knowledged the duty of delivering the
guilty parties over to justice, and had
acknowledged the further duty of in
Identifying the families of the victims
who were Italian subjects.
Ah Governments Interested.
Italy could not admit that tie United
States government had no responsibility
for acts committed within the jurisdic-
tion of the individual states. This phase
Of the present complication was, in his
opinion, one which interested not only
Italy, but all the governments of the
civilized world.
He felt confident, however, that the
matter would be settled without Great
ing political difficulties between Italy
and America, but he could not refrain
from expressing feeling of regret that
the government of country so highly
civilized as the United States should not
fulfill the duties Of justice and morality.
Rudini Indorscd.
In conclusion'M Marquis di Rudini gave
expression to the hope that notwith-
standing the occurrence of some incl
dents which We're greatly to be regretted
in the controversy between Italy and
America, means of conciliation honor
able to both countries would be found.
The preInier's words were listened to
with close attention. and when he re-
sumed his seat the whole chamber, ire
spective of parties, cheered vociferously.
