SALEM. Or, July l3.-The arrest of vii.
son for the murder of Mamie Walsh prom
ises to clear up one of the most profound
murder mysteries in the history of Oregon,
and prove as innocent ay-haired old man
who is now serving life sentates in the
Oregon state penitentiary. This old man is
William Scott, who stands convicted of the
murder of his ife-partner near Wheatland
two years ago. Today old man Scott was
walking past Wilson's cell, wheii Wilson
asked the guard if that was not Scott. The
guard asked Wilson what he knew about
Scott, and the reply was that he knew a
great deal. He said he would tell all he
knew about it in day or SO. Scott has al
ways denied numbering his wife, claiming
that he saw man running from the house
into the orchard when he heard the report
of the gun that killed her. Wilson init.
mates that he knows all about her murder.
1t will be remembered that the place where
Wilson escaped from the officers was within
half a mile of the scene of the Scott murder,
and when he passed Scott's house he asked
if that was not the Scott place. Wilson
said today the officers were drinking heavily
or he would not have escaped SO easily.
He is nervous and restless tonight.

HE WANTS TO DIE.
WILSON SAYS THAI HE CAN CLEAR UP THE
- sCoTr MURDER MYSTERY.

SALEM, July 9.-All night and all day
Wilson has been making attempts to com.
init suicide. He bit his arm last night try.
ing to find a vein. He also stuck pin in
his arm clear up, burying the head of the
! pin In the flesh until the surgeon had to
take pinchers to extract it. He also tore
the bandage off his booken arm as soon as
he was left by himself in the dark cell
| where he is now confined. Wilson said this
evening that he had an imp;se to commit
suicide by leaping over the balustrade onto
the concrete sidewalk below, but the officers
prevented this move. He says that he has
felt no remorse for killing Mamie but once
| and that was when he was alone in the
Willamette river bottom. Then he sat
| down and cried bitterly, The murder
seems just as dream in which every detail
stands out distinctly. Wilson says he
never saw Mamie's face when alive. Her
back was to him when he grabbed her. He
choked her into insensibility and he says
the fall from the fence completed her MUIR
der. His parents are both living and he
has an uncle named Yoeman living in Linn
county in the vicinity of Stayton. Wilson
Is Methodist, and said that he thought
he would go to heaven, as he had no motive
Ill killing Mamie. He believes that he
killed her so that he would be hung. He
sees nothing i'll the futurefor him and courts
death. When asked if he would cut his
throat If he had a razor the reply was ''Try
me-" He says he wants to die right away,
believes firmly in the future and says before
he abused himself he was ambitious Viii.
son declares that he did not ravish the girl.
He tore her clothes off and examined her.
but says he had no wicked intent This
evening hesmoothed up ard cat for photo
graph and seemed quite cheerful, though in
much pain. He wishes all was over and
will end it if any opportunity begiven him.
He is generally pronounced insane.
Wilson fought frantically while surgeons
were resetting his arm. He kicked the doc.
tor and bit..madly at the guards, and had to
be thrown down and choked before he could
be overpowered. Wilson to-day seems
fiend incarnate. In his struggles he is pow
erful, but when the spell is over has no
strength.

BOILER EXPLOSION.
Eight Men Injured at the Long Island
Railway Yards.


LONG ISLAND CITY o.. H., April CA
locomotive boiler exploded with terrific
force in the yards of the Long Island
Rail way here at $50 this morning. Eight
men working near were severely in
jured, some fatally. The engineer and
fireman will die. The locomotive was
completely wrecked.
The accident happened while the train
was moving out of the station here to-
ward Blissville. The train was what
was known as the working train and
consisted of locomotive and number
of flat cars.
There were six men seated on the car
directly behind the locomotive. They
received no warning of the explosion,
and were blown in all directions.
The names of the injured as far as as
certained are: Engineer Walker, badly
scalded about the forehead and legs, and
will probably die; Fireman Theodore
Velore, badly burned and scalded :
Joseph Lush, terribly scalded and leg
broken; John Luby, badly scalded and
bruised; James Kline, fearfully scalded
and several limbs broken. These men
are supposed to be fatally injured.
There are four more injured who are
unconscious, and the extent of their in
juries cannot be definitely ascertained. A
number of surgeons from st. GATHERINGS
Hospital are attending the unfortunate
men. No one seems to know Just how
the accident happened. Neither the en-
gineer nor fireman is able to make a
statement.
Lush, who is one of the most seriously
injured, is brakeman. He was thrown
into the coal bin, where he was burned
and scalded in shocking manner. The
first finger was blown Oft his left hand,
the flesh hung in shreds from his BODY,
and the skin on his arms and legs peeled
off. Death is question of only few
hours.
Engineer Walker. the doctors say, will
not recover. All the injured were re-
moved to ST. Johns Hospital
The railroad officials say that they can
only account for the accident on the
theory that the water was too low in the
boiler

SAN FRANCISCO, April 6.-Within the
next forty-eight hours an expose of the
Customs service in this city is predicted
which will fairly shake both the Apprais-
ers' and Custom-house buildings from
the cellar to the highest floor. For the
past two weeks the most searching in
vestigation has been carried on, and it is
said that certain practices which have
been in vogue in the Customs service VIII
be shown up and gigantic frauds of most
startling nature unearthed.
At this time there is no one who knows
the exact state of affairs except those who
are engaged in the investigation, ana all
efforts to get any of the officials to talk
nave proved futile. So well has the work
9een done by the officers that the up
aeaval threatens to affect not a few promi-
uent persons. The United States Grand
i1ry is in daily session. and the confer
ices that have been held during the past
NO weeks viii result in an expose OF no
mall proportions.

PARIS, April Notwithstanding the
extra precautions to prevent any further
repetitions of dynamite explosions, the
anarchists do not seem to find much
trouble in pursuing their nefarious work
wherever they are SO disposed. Thelate
scene OF their activity is Anglers, capital
OF the Department of 1Iaine-et-Loire.
Last night, or at an early hour this morn
ing, dynamite bomb was quietly placed
upon windowsill Of the police depart
ment. The fuse was lighted and the an
archists withdrew. Everything was quiet
at the police depot and in the vicinity,
When suddenly there was flash and a
tremendous roar; that caused momentary
CONSERVATION in the neighborhood.
Every pane of glass in the windows Of
the police department and the adjoining
houses was shattered, and the depot itself
was quite badly damaged. One police
man in the building was injured. There
is absolutely no clue to the perpetrators
of the outrage. The police are surprised
at the boldness Of the criminals.
