Because She Would Not Wed.

SEATTLE, WASH, Dec. S.-Charles
Rogers Moulton shot and killed Mrs. M.
8. Story, residing at 4l6 Marion street,
and then shot himself dead. Mrs. Story
was the daughter OF clergyman at
Windsor, Ont, and was vocal music
teacher in this city. She had returned
from the theatre but few minutes be-
fore being killed. Moulton was % years
old, and was real estate dealer, and
came here from San Francisco two
years ago. He had constantly offered
Mrs. Story attentions, which she slighted
and when he asked her to marry him
she positively refused. A few days ago
he threatened TO shoot her il she did not
marry him. He was concealed in her

was killed under Kansas or United
States jurisdiction. 1t was determined
that the killing had taken place ON the
fort reservation, and Benson was con-
victed of the murder before Judge
River, the United States Judge at
Topeka. He was sentenced to be hanged
and the case was appealed to,he supreme
court of the United States with the re-
suit announced.
President Harrison once respited him
after the death sentence was passed, but
that has long expired, and the author:-
ties only waited Judge Rivers order
for the hanging. 1t will be the first
hanging in Kansas for years, as that
state does not not hang its criminals,
and only the fact that Benson over
stepped the government lines few feet
will cost him his life.

Judge Gresham Renders IN Opinion I'm
the Case Of the Refractory 4
Railway Officers
Who Refased I" Answer Questions Put
Them by the Interstate CONNER
Commission.
The Com m issi0n an Administrative and
Not a Judicial Body-An Appeal
to BE Taken.

CHICAGO. Dec. S.-Judge Gresham
has rendered the most important deci-
sion which has been handed down since
the interstate law was enacted. Last
July w. G. Brinson, Sumner Hopkins,
Henry Walker, w. R. Sterling and other
railroad officials, charged with having
given MISUNDERSTANDING to the Illinois
Steel company of this city, in the matter
of freight rates, refused to answer GER
tain questions propounded by the inter-
state commerce commission, or produce
books, declaring that the interstate COM
merce law aid not give the commission
the functions Of grand jury and that
1t had no right to carry on such investi-
cation in the absence of formal COM
plant. United States District Attorney
Milchrist contended that something
should be done to make witnesses
answer questions as to the jurisdiction
of the commission and he filed a petition
in the circuit court before Judge
Gresham to require the refractory wit
nesses to answer questions ana
produce books asked for. Judge
Gresham, in a long opinion, re-
fused to grant the petition,
holding that the interstate commerce
commission is an admlnlstra-
tive, and not judicial oody,
and that the court could not be used In
aid Of an investigation before such tri-
bunal. The jurisdiction OF the courts
of the United States is limited, the
Judge says, and 1t is not competent for
congress to confer upon them authority
which is not strictly judicial and clearly
within the grant found in the third ar
ticle of the constitution.
District Attorney Milchrist at once
gave notice that he should apply for q
review of the case in the supreme court.
The railroad lawyers are jubilant, feel
ing that they have now virtually estab-
lished the unconstitutionality Of the act.

He Heard the Plots Made and Was One
Of Those Who Participated I'm
the Crime.
A Seattle Man Murders q Woman for
Refusing to Marry, and Imme-
diateiy Suicides.

DENVER, Dec. S.-Everyone Is ac-
quainted with the Malta and the murder
of Chief Hennessey, of New Orleans,
which was followed by the lynching of
the alleged murderers, and which, in
tura, nearly led to war between the
United States and Italy. There has
been serious doubt of the guilt of the
Italians, but there is now a man in the
Arapahoe county Jail who admits that
he belonged to the society and witnessed
the murder, and from his admissions it
Is evident he took part in it. Remorse
and thoughts of the awful crime have
evidently unbalanced his mind and he
can no longer keep the dreadful secret,
but told 1t freely to Chief Howe and
Officer Peterson, of the police force.
He is in fearful condition. His hands
tremble and it is with difficulty that
he can talk. The cause of his ar
rest here was burglary and he
was bound over in $500 bonds
on that charge. He Is William G.
Sauers, French creole, and is rather
young looking. His story is that he
roomed with four others Of the society
in a dingy portion of the City Of New
Orleans. He was present at the meet
ings when plots Of revenge, he says,
were made against the chief of police.
He heard their oaths and knew their
secrets. He went with them on the night
of the murder, and says he wan with
them when, under cover, they fired the
fatal shots, and that he participated in
the riot. The man managed to make
his escape, but his comrades were cap
tured and put in jail. He left New
Orleans, and. actuated by remorse, has
since been wanderer. finally arriving
in Denver. Sauers did not tell the
names of the assassins of Chief Hennes-
sey, saying that he could not remember
them. His actions, however, belied his
words, and would lead to the belief that
he was very closely connected with the
murder. When asked if mistake had
been made in lynching the Italian pris-
oners at New Orleans, he said that some
of them were implicated in the assassin
alton.
