put Gaboriau and "Old Sleuth" In the
dusk. lie pleaded guilty and Was SEN
fenced to five years. lie now claims

SAYS that II was his love Of liquor which

one night on going home he met two
men carrying q trunk ard that on seeing
him they dropped the trunk and fed.
lie found q bottle Of wine on top the
trunk and supposed there Was more In
Il, that the men carrying Il were liquor
smugglers. So he drank the wine In the

days later he opened the trunk he found
Il contained valuable things, which he
sold and thus got the officers Of the Law
after him. He plead guilty, he says, be
cause hls bondsman wanted him TO and
told him he could get on with fine.
while In state prison he heard who had

4 THOUGH you may have had good luck

will have better luck and following directions)
no failures with the Royal Baking Powder.
The truth of this must be evident when YOU
remember that in the leading hotels and res

where the latest and best methods are invari-
ably employed, and where the most beautiful
and dainty food is always set out for the guests,
the Royal Baking Powder is exclusively used
for all quickly risen food.
Royal Baking Powder never disappoints
never makes sour, soggy Or husky food; never
spoils good materials; never leaves Jumps of
alkali in the biscuit or cake; while all these
things do happen with the best of cooks who

The Famous Alice Mitchell Case.

Judge Dubose has been deposed from the
bench at Memphis pending the impeachment
proceedings in the State Senate of Ten
nessee. and the members Of the
bar, as prescribed by law under
such conditions, elected Thomas H.
Scruggs temporary Judge Of the Criminal
Court. Judge Scruggs's first official act
was in reference to Miss Lille johnson of
the famous Mitchell Ward case. Lille
johnson was out driving with Alice Nit
chell on February 25, 1892, when Alice killed
Freda Ward. Lille remained in the buggy
ct the top of the hill, and said she
knew nothing of the crime until after
its commission. Nevertheless she was
rested as an accessory and confined in Jail
until her health gave way. Then she was
admitted to SIS, 900 bail, but Judge Dubose
in brutal manner told her in open court
that he believed her guilty.
In August last Alice Mitchell was sent to
an insane asylum, where she still is. AL
though in the Mitchell trial and in the in
sanity proceedings nothing showed that
Lille johnson was aware of Alice's inten-
lions, Judge Dubose was SO prejudiced that
he refused to entertain the motions of At
torney-General Peters to discharge her, and
insisted in keeping her under bonds. He said
that he intended to try her for murder If
ever Alice Mitchell recovered her sanity.
General Peters moved to acquit, and Judge
Scruggs promptly acquiesced. Miss John
son was not present, but was represented by
counsel. She has not recovered her health
fully since she broke down under the accusa-
tions against her.

Important Happenings as Told
by Telegraph and Cable.
A Singular Double Tragedy in a
New York Gun Shop.

One Of the saddest tragedies in the police
annals Of New York City occurred at 5:25
O'Clock, few afternoons ago. in the big
gun store of Hartley & Graham, 3l3 and 3i5
Broadway. William ". Reynolds, who for
thirty years past had been at the head of the
export department of the firm, shot and
killed Miles v. Kelly, head bookkeeper OF
the house, and then turned the pistol
against himself, inficting fatal wound.
Absolutely no motive can be assigned for
the action, and all the persons acqualnted
with the principals agree that Mr.. Reynolds
was crazy.
The men had been friends for nearly
quarter Of a century, Mr.. Kelly having
served in Hartley G. Graham's establishment
for twenty years, and during all that time
they never once had a quarrel as far as any
orr knows.
= Not word preceded the shooting, AMI
that Mr.. Kelly was selected as the victim
was probably due simply to the fact that he
had the misfortune to be the person near-
est at hand when the insane impulse 20
kill seized Mr. Reynolds. For month
or so the latter's friends have noticed
certain peculiaritieS in his actions. he
would frequently make mistakes in his cor
respondence, something formerly unknown;
he was absent-minded and hesitating in his
most intense dependency. He was fifty
years old and married. He had no children,
and lived at 155 Hewes street, Brooklyn.
Mrs. Reynolds got to New York City about
o'clock. She found her sister-in-law at the
hospital where her husband had been taken.
They remained with Mr.. Reynolds until it
was a certainty that he could never recover
consciousness, and ntaway at 1920 o'clock.
He died at fifteen minutes of midnight.
No writing was found which could suggest
a motive for either murder or suicide, nor is
it supposed that the acts were premeditated
by Mr.. Reynolds. Hene carried pistol,
and the revolver wnich he used was new
one. taken from one of the showcases.
1t still had the tag attached on which was
marked its catalogue number, its cost and
selling price. 1t is believed that it was taken
from the case after o'clock, when the clerks
had left the store. After it was taken car
tridges had to be gco from another depar-
ment before it could be loaded.
