tragedy occurred near Mt. Holly, and
the town is wild with excitement over
the affair. coming as it does right on the
heels of the murder of Lizzie Peak, the
victim of Wesley Warmers jealous rage.
The victim was Leonard Mitchell,
colored man about 20 years of age, who
1t is alleged was shot in the eye by Annie
Hurto, wife of Frank Hurto, who keeps
general store at colored settlement
near here known as Timbuctoo. 1t was
in this store that the shooting occurred.
Mitchell had revolver, which he was
showing to the crowd while in Mt.
Holly during fair week. This same
weapon had fallen from his pocket and
been discharged, the bullet just missing
two ladies who were passing, and he was
explaining how it happened when Mrs.
Hurto asked to see the weapon. Mitchell
handed it to her and she pointed it at
him and pulled the trigger.
A loud report followed and Mitchell
fell to the fioor with a bullet In his

graoed by a Designing Woman.

NEW YORK, Oct. IL. - Domingo l.
Ruiz, the white haired consul general OF
Ecuador, who was arrested on Saturday
on charge Of forging the signature Of
Gustavo Preston, South American
merchant, to two notes for 81, 900 each
was arraigned in court yesterday and
held in $1,000 bonds. His lawyer de.
clared that Ruiz was the victim of loi
of swindlers. Bertha Laws, who claims
and is acknowledged to be the adopted
daughter of Consul Ruiz. was arrested at
her home yesterday. 1t is claimed that
she is closely connected with the for
gerry.
During the brief proceedings before
Justice Ryan the fact leaked out that
Senior Ruiz, who is in his dotage, has
been in the hands of band of conspira-
tors, who have tieeced him out of $50, 900.
In their greed for more money these ras-
Gals induced him to indorse the two
81 900 notes. The principal in the con-
spiracy is Mrs. Bertha Laws, the adopted
daughter, who lives in great style at 225
West End avenue.
Consul General Ruiz's friends say he
was hypnotized by the woman, and has
done her bidding for the past few years.
1t is also asserted that Mrs. Laws is a
shrewd sharper who has lived in luxury
at his expense. The woman first became
acquainted With Senor Ruiz through an
advertisement at the time his wife was
in this country, while his daughter was
travelling in Europe. He advertised for
housekeeper, and Mrs. Laws, who was
then plain Bertha hrudstat Of Stock,

was soon installed as hpusekppDer She
quickly ingratiated herself, and in a few
weeks made him believe she was his
