THE LEONARD MURDER,
Whereabouts of Louis HarriOt, the Sup
posed Slayer, Still a Mystery.

Whereabouts of Louis HarriOt, the Sup
posed Slayer, Still a Mystery.
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, N. j., Nov 29.-
The murderer of Mrs. Chas. T. Leonard,
80 years old, the wife Hof a well-known
farmer, is still at large. A farm hand
known as Louis Harriet, a native of
Lorraine, who is described as six fee t
high, of dark complexion, with gray
eyes, and about 81 years old, is pro-
nounced to be the man who committed
the crime.
The motive for it has not yet been dis
covered. Mr.. Leonard was away from
home and the children missed their
mother. On the return of the father a
search was made which resulted in the
finding of Mrs. Leonard's body. The
appearance of the remains indicated that
the murder was most brutal one.
There was a rope around the woman's
neck, with which she had evidently been
strangled, while the side of her head
was crushed in, apparently by some
blunt instrument. Harriet was seen in
the neighborhood by several persons,
with his clothes despatched with blood
and having an excited appearance. He
has disappeared and all efforts to And
him have been fruitless.

STACY to Stick to Yale.

New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. est is
stated that Yale has decided to establish
a department of athletics OF which
Alonzo A. Stage, the famous athlete,
will have charge. Stage had been en-
gagged to take charge of the athletic de-
partment in Prof. Harper's University
in Chicago, but it is now probable that
he will not go there. He is reported as
having said that he has received II bet
ter offer from Yale, which hs will prob
ably accept. His recent good work in
coaching Yala's champion football team
is said to have something to do with the
action of Yale's faculty.

SAYS 1T WAS LEGAL.
Attorney Hammersley's Opinion of the
Consolidated Road stock.

Attorney Hammersley's Opinion of the
Consolidated Road stock.
Attorney Hammersley, Comptroller
Staub's legal adviser, yesterday made
public an opinion that the action of
Staub and Treasurer Sanger, in adding
to the stock of the Consolidated road
46, 900 shares, was legal. The opinion is
lengthy one, but the gist of it con-
tanned in the following paragraphs:
''Now whatever difference of opinion
may exist as to the exact legal
status of this new stock, or as to
the proper name by which it may be
designated for this or that purpose, it
would seem that no difference of opin-
ion could exist as to the fact that for
the purpose of taxation, and within the
meaning of the law taxing railroad
property, these $4,000 shares were on
September 80 part of the capital stock
having market value. Certainly
there can be no difference of opinion as
to the fact that the value of the rights,
franchises and property of the road can
not be truly ascertained in accordance
with the measure of value fixed by
statute without the valuation of this
class of stock.
"Under such circumstances the duties
imposed on the board by statute clearly
require them to treat the $4,000 shares,
having a market value of some 81, 0O0,-
600, as in existence on Septem Der 80
within the meaning of the statute for
purpose of taxation

1T WAS A CONSPIRACY.
An Inn ocent Woman Released After q
Lingering imprisonment


Lingering imprisonment
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2S.-David Gal
Ter, tailor living in Ludlow street,
New York, complained recently to the
police that he had been decoyed to this
city by woman named Zepha Sazan-
ken and robbed of 81, 800. The woman
was arrested, tried and convicted, and
sentenced to 10 months imprisonment.
The fact that she had $500 in her
possession at the time of her arrest was
largely instrumental in her conviction.
Several prominent gentlemen of this
city became interested in the case, and
with the aid of private detectives thor
oughly investigated the matter. They
discovered that she had but recently
emigrated to this country from Ger
many and that she then had $500 in
her possession.
Further investigation on their part
led to the belief that tn @ arrest and con-
viction of the woman was due to a con-
spiracy on the part of the complainant
and others, and they thereupon laid tn 9
facts in the matter before the Judge
who had tried the case. The latter i'm
mediately became convinced of the
woman's Innocence, revoked her SEN
tence and set her free.
Caller, who has returned to New York,
will be arrested and brought here for
trial on charge of perjury.
