WAS IL SUICIDE?
Mysterious Death OF Pretty
Typewriter.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The death of
Martha J. Fuller, the pretty typewriter
who was found shot through the head
in the law oTtee OF w. NJ Mullen last
evening. takes on added mystery as the
result of tOday's investigation. Joseph
L. Magee, the handsome young man.
a clerk of the Mullens. who was with
Miss Fuller moment before, if not at
the instant she was killed, was to-
day arraigned in the Tombs police
court anu neld without bail TO await the
action of the coroner;s jury. He was
accompanied in court by Mr.. Mullen,
and both appeared to be much agitated.
Magees statement after his arrest last
night seemed to confirm the suicide
theory, as he asserted he and Miss
Fuller had been busy until late in
the afternoon preparing legal
document. and that on his stepping
out or the room where they were
at work, a pistol shot was fired. and on
entering the room he found Miss Fuller
lying OH the floor and at once ran out
ana gave the alarm. This story is dis
puted and significant detail added in
the statement Of a young lady clerk
from the floor above the Mu lien offices,
10 the effect that she was the first to
enter the room after the shot was fired,
and that the revolver Then lay on
MaCee'S desk some distance from where
Miss Fuller lay. The autopsy today
showed that the bullet entered the left
temple and passed in a slightly
upward direction tArough tine
head and cut at the right
temple, the examination disclosed no
reason for suicide. 1t is said her rela-
tives are dissatisfied with the autopsy,
ana will demand an examination by
another physician before the body is
Inferred ne coroner held Magee
without bail 10 await the action of the
jury at tomorrow's inquest.
The fact that the bullet entered the
left temple and that Miss Fuller was
not left-handed and wore a tight-fitting
glove on her left hand conflicts with
the suicide theory, as it is believed she
could not have fired the shot under
these conditions.

day-morning. that the republicans
have won in Kansas. No official fg
ures are yet 0btainaDle, but all lndica-
tions are that the state has once more
been turned over to the possession of
the party that has made it laughing
stock and by word in the minds OF
the outside warld throug former long
wears of misrule and crankIsm.
AS to the 7th district, it is yet uncer-
tain what is the result; with the
chances more in favor Of Long than
Jerry Simpson.
This county has gone republican by
large majorities, the democratic
candidates being second in the race
and populists third. Elsewhere will be
found the un official tabulated returns.
which are, in the case of two or three
townships, estimated as to some of the

ashamed of the fight he has made, for
