STORY OF A CRIME.
Weird Evidences of a Crime Discovered by
aParty of American Tourists.

Weird Evidences of Crime Discovered by
Party of American Tourists.
CHIHUAHUA, Mex, Feb pa party of
American tourists who have been ram
bling over the mountains of this part of
the country for some weeks have just
brought to this city the story of find in
an extinct volcano which is most remark
able.
The party was lunching at the edge OF
an old crater, when one of the young men
determined to explore the interior, and
with this end in view went down on
rope to a distance OF about a hundred
feet and landed on ledge OF rocks.
Here he was surprised to find the skel-
eton OF a man which had crumbled to pieces
with age. BY the side of the skeleton
was found some old metal buttons, and
what appeared to be a piece of parchment
upon which there was writing in red.
The writing was examined with micro
scope and il was found to be in Spanish.
1t read as follows as near as could be made
out:
"My name is Rodrigo Perez. was
placed in this place by Manuel Perez, my
cousin, and his servants, because he
thought had been in love with his wife.
/ am innocent. ! am starving to death
slowly. l have written this with my
blood, this the Sth day Of January, 1920.
/ have tried 10 dig steps in the rocks, but
cannot and must die. With my dying
breath declare that am innocent ofany
wrong TO my cousin
The records of chihuahua show that n
man named Manuel Perez at one time
lived in this city and that he suddenly
disappeared at the same time as his
cousin It is now believed that after
numbering the cousin Perez went back to
Spain and has probably died long ere this
The place where the bones were found is
frequently visited, but has never before
been explored, and for this reason was an
excellent place to hide the crime.

rhe Actress Said To Have Begun Sui
-+Atsttiffst- -f4tlseH}sef.s-ss+- -eiaiesse--

PITTsBURo, Pa, Feb 23.-It is said on
good authority that Margaret Mather,
the actress, has begun suit in Chicago for
a divorce from her husband, Emil Haber-
korn. Miss Mather played in Chicago
last week and will come to Pittsburg for
a weeks engagement.
Mr.. Haberkorn is the leader of the or
chestra at the Duquesne Theatre. He said
tonight that he had not been served with
notice of the suit, but had expected for
some time that IL would be entered. lie
thought that the basis OF the suit would
be a charge of non-support, and said that
il nothing more serious were alleged he
would not defend.
Habarkorn was young orchestra leader
in Buffalo when he met Miss Mather.
They loved at first sight, and apparently
lived happily together for year. Then
they separated. Haberkorn came TO Pitts
burg. Neither has ever explained the
cause OF their arrangement.
