STILL A MYSTERY.
The Man Found Dead at Georgetown Not
Yet Identified.

HAvERHILL, Mass. March 4-The ex-
element caused by the finding of the
murdered man in the Pen brook on
Thursday has subsidized somewhat, al
though the general drift of the converse
ton is about this affair The body was
put in the receiving tomb, late Friday, at
Harmony cemetery. Rev. John Rounds
Smith saying prayers.
The mystery of the mans identity is as
much of a mystery as ever. Theories of
lis being several persons have all proved
false. District Officer Hammond was
seen and stated that in his opinion the
man was one of coterie of four burglars
that have been working this country and
vicinity the past fall and winter and that
this man in some way displeased his COM
panions. They killed him and then
dragged him to the spot found. His
hands were tied for convenience in carry
ing him.
This is the most plausible theory. and
the one advanced by the officers and those
who know most about the affair. In the
mans pocket was found slip telling of
reward of $1,000 offered for the capture
of the men who robbed and nearly killed
the station agent at Lenox, Mass. and
robbed the rector of the Episcopal church.
letter was received by Dr. Root of
Georgetown Saturday morning from H.
E. Sleeper, a lawyer of Boston, stating
that client of his had been missing
since December and that the description
of the murdered man tallies with that Of
his client. He is expected to come and
identify the remains if possible.
The vest found on the body OF the man
found in brook here Thursday is not Of
pepper and salt style, as the papers
have declared it. but is of a raised
worsted figure with a notched collar. 1t
has six buttons, measures 40 inches across
the breast, and is 90 inches long; corded
silk at the back, lined with satin, and
there is no letter ''e' in the word Hol-
comb.

THE PRESIDENTS OUTING.
Party Goes Further South ard Fnus
Great Variety of Game.

ELIZABETH CITY, n. c., March 4-The
president has go.ie still further south ana
is probably at the end of his trip. lie
NAV even now he on his way homewarf.
Early Friday morning the Violet ho;sted
her anchor in Croatan sound and heading
south by east passed into the North Caro-
lima sea, Pamlico sound.
The weather was thick in the morning.
but the clouds rolled away and the
steamer was soon nodding and dipping in
the ground swell caused by stiff north
erly breeze. The vessel stood along the
east coast, passing Body's island light
house, conspicuous object for many
miles with its alternate black and white
stripes, and soon came in sight OF Hat
teras light. JNe trip down from Roanoke
island consumed about eight hours. and
early in tie afternoon the Violet again
dropped anchor behind the live oak clad
dunes of the cape A landing was MADE
and the party made another attempt upon
the game, which at this point presented Il
greater variety than had yet been en-
countered, for, in addition to the waite;
fowl, which had been met in the upper
sands, the Hatteras country boasts oil
rabbits, red deer and other land game.
The president was much interested in
the country. which differs widely from
the upper coast. just before Hatteras Is
reached the low, narrow sand spit. varied
by few dunes almost barren OF any
trace of vegetation, spreads out to the
width of few miles and is luXurently
clothed in vegetation, with many live
oaks, sand cactus thickets and canebreaks
Many fresh ponds lie hidden in the
jungle, connected by deep. but marrow
steams, Astounding with fish
After trying their luck at shooting the
party found their way to the east shore
and inspected the great lighthouse, which,
though of the first order, still lights in
sufficiently the most dreaded cape in all
America. Lying near the lighthouse is a
little village, and for the first time the
president found himself among Cape Hat
teras folks. and likewise for the first time
the Iatteras community saw president
of their country, for the little place is SC
isolated that no one ever visits it except
an occasional fisherman or an employe OF
the lighthouse service, and few people
living at IIatteras ever get further away
from home than the nearest postoffice on
the mainland.

His Hours Were Numbered.
CHICAGO, July IA dispatch from
Springfield received late yesterday after
noon announced that Governor Altgelo
refused to interfere in the case of Assas-
Elm Prendergast. The governor said the
law must take its course. Meantime the
application of the attorneys for Assassin
Prendergast for writ of habeas corpus
in the United States circuit court was ar
gued before Judge Grosscup. Judge
Grosscup heard the grounds upon which
the application was made and the demand
OF the attorneys of the condemned man
for stay of execution until an appeal
could be taken TO the United States su-
preme court but decided not to interfere
in the matter.
When Prendergast was told that there
was no hope for further stay of execution
of the sentence of death he would not be-

of stay will be granted" replied the as
sassin. "If am hanged it will be an of
fetal murder / am not guilty of the
crime of murder. No malice was shown
on the trial, and the law says that muir
der is the malicious taking of a human
life"
Prendergast's supper was brought to
him while he was talking and he at once
stopped and began eating. His appetite
was good and he ate heartily. After eat
ing he began to smoke cigar, which
made him violently ill. He soon recovered,
however.
Attorney Darrow, Prendergast's coun-
sci, abandoned hope last night. He said:

to allow it to do so. We had little rea-
