CAUGHT AT LAST.

After Long Chase a Noted Criminal Ia
Arrested In Dctroit-Dr. Henry G. Meyer
Wanted in Several Cities on Charges of
Poisoning six Persons.
DETROIT, Mich, July 14.-Wednesday
night one of the most notorious poison
ers in America fell into the hands of
the police, and Chicago, New York and
Toledo have begun legal war for
his custody. Two local detectives,
guided by Detective Julian, of
New York, and two Pinlterton
men, arrested DIR. Henry c. w.
Meyer at 1913 Clifford street on suspicion.
Julian and the Pinkerton men have
been on his track for two years, and
finally cornered him in Detroit, col
lecting in the meantime evidence
which, they say, will cause Myer to
suffer the death penalty. Sullivan says
that Meyer graduated from the Chi
cago homeopathic school in 1878
and his operations began a year
later, when he poisoned his first
wife. Then he poisoned an old
man named Gilderman and married
the widow, poisoning her son and final
ly herself. Meyer then moved from Chi
cago to New York, where he went into
partnership with man named Baum,
their scheme being to beat the insur-
ance companies. Baum was to take
out heavy insurance, become sick and
apparently die, corpse being
procured from some other source
and used to get the insurance.
Baum took some medicine to render
him unconscious, and then it is charged
that Meyer poisoned him, collecting the
insurance. In some way Meyer per-
suaded an Indianapolis girl to accom-
pany him to Toledo, where he also
poisoned her. Chemists have an
alyzed the poison he is accused
of using, but have failed to find
out what it was. He is said
to have collected $1,000, that is
known, from insurance companies,
and the detectives feel confident there
are more cases to hear from. Requisi-
ton papers are expected and, although
there are four cases against him in
Chicago, it is said efforts win be made to
send him to New York, where the case
is alleged to be strong enough to war
rant electrocution.
DIR. Myer will be turned over to the
New York police as soon as officers ar
rive from there with the necessary
papers.
Mrs. Meyer, who is also under arrest,
gave birth to boy Thursday. Mrs.
Meyer is said to have palmed herself
off as the wife of Baum upon the death
of that individual, and thus aided
Meyer in collecting Baum's life insur-

THE housewives in Florida have
found a new use for oranges. They
scrub the floors with them. Go into al
most any town in the orange growing
districts and you will see the women
using the luscious fruit exactly as our
housekeepers use soap. They cut the
oranges in halves and rub the fiat, ex-
posed pulp on the floor The acid in the
oranges doubtless does the cleaning,
but at any rate the boards are as white
as snow after the application. 1t is
thought that lemons would be better
than oranges for this purpose, because
of the additional acidity.

JUDGE JENKINS TALKS.

While His Indictment Worries Him Some
what, He Feels Sure of Exoneration, and
VIII Leave the President to Decide
Whether or No He Shall Remain on the
Bench.
MINIATURES, July Thames G.. Jen-
kins, the United States circuit court
judge who is under indictment here
on the charge of bank wrecking in
connection with the directory of the
Plankinton bank, SAID that he had
no idea he was to be indicted. Had
he received the least intimation of
the fact he would have Immediately re-
signed his seat on the circuit court
bench. Just what action he will take
now he cannot state positively, but he
thinks he will have some friend,
probably Secretary Gresham. lay
his case before the president, and, after
hearing it, if Mr.. Cleveland thinks he
had best resign he will do so. The
judge states that he cares nothing
about the reputation this trouble
will give him as private citi-
zen. because in the end he will
be wholly eXonerated from any
wrong-doing; but it is the imputation
on the fair name of the judiciary of the
country to which this scandal attaches
that is his greatest burden and source
of regret. Judge Jenkins will leave for
Washington in few days.
The indictment against the Judge is
bound to hang over until next Decem-
ber, which is the earliest date when a
| jury can be had to try the case. What
| course to pursue in the meantime is
now the most difficult problem. While
no individual or department of the
country's government has the power to
remove Il United States judge, congress
can impeach and thus dispose of him.
An impeachment in such case as
Judge Jenkins could not precede the
mans conviction for n crime; so, pend
| ing conviction, the ex-bank director
| is free from molestation by congress
Independent of this there is moral
obligation which will govern the judge
in his course. Without the very
best and highest advice he could not
SO far forget his sense of duty
to the government and his respect
for his court colleagues as to pre-
sumo to sit on the United States circuit
bench again until he was completely
exonerated from the crime which the
grand jury has laid at his door. In
view of this the judge will lay before
| President Cleveland at the earliest pos
sible date every phase of the case.
