PROBABLY AN INNOCENT MAN.
Some of the Alleged Victims of George
Decker Reported to Be Alive.

COLUSA, Cal, May 17-Another chapter
was revealed here to-day in one of the
strangest stories in the criminal annals of
California At Yreka, Siskiyou county.
George Decker is in jail, charged with muir
der, and so strong is public sentiment
against him that IL has been feared he
would be lynched. Decker, who had been a
respected rancher. and who is now mar
ried to his third wife. was arrested two
weeks ago. 1t is charged that twenty -four
years ago,in the wilds OF northern California,
he murdered his first wife and her little babe.
Following his arrest the bones of woman
and baby were dug up on his ranch. This,
with other evidence, seemed to substantiate
the charge of murder. Then came stories
OF seeming good proof that Decker had
murdered his second wife by poisoning in
order to gain her lands, and that he had
also poisoned her son. her daughter and her
granddaughter, all of whom died suddenly
1T was when public opinion had laid these
six murders at his door that lynching was
threatened. Secret preparations were active
ly begun. Now there is good ground for
the statement that the crimes for which he
is being denounced by the people of his
which he is now a prisoner-that crime of
years ago, with Its dramatic and long-de-
layed sequel--was never committed Mar
garet L. Decker, the woman who. as has
been supposed and charged was deceived
to the mountains by her husband and muir
dered, is alive and well to-day. She is lv-
Ing near Willows as the wife of John Ham
ilton: TO make the story more complicated
IL Is stated that Nevada Decker the babe
supposed TO have been done to death with
its mother. is also among the living and a
resident of Colusa county being employed
at present by Mrs. III. L. Wilson. Granting
that the identification of the some time
Mrs. Decker and her children is complete
enough to satisfy the Siskiyou Judge thar
no murder has been done il becomes of in
terest to know whose bones We're found
among the rocks of Kildeer ridge. Either
the people who testify to the fact that John
Hamilton's wife and Mrs. Wilson'S employe
are Mrs Decker and child, are utterly mis-
taken, or George Decker is much
wronged man and the victim of circum-
stantial evidence.

INVESTIGATION ORDERED.
The senate Will Inquire Into Bribery
and Other Charges.

WASHINGTON May 17.-Mr Morgan
opened the proceedings of the Senate to-
day by offering for reference a resolution,
which, after reciting the existence of the
Sherman antitrust law of June 2 1892. and
: the alleged existence of a Sugar Trust,
called on the Attorney-general for infor-
nation as to whether any proceedings

so. what stage they had reached; If not,

feet in the antitrust law.

vestigating resolution which came over
from yesterday was then laid before the
Senate by Vice President Stevenson, and

profits would accrue TO the Sugar Trust

schedule would go into effect at jan l.
which profit was estimated at $50 O00
II charged that this schedule was ex-
acted by the trust in fulfilment of pledges
made during the campaign of 1892 1t also
charged that the Jones amendments were
in the hands of a firm OF New York
brokers' whose names were given, at the
very time when their existence was de-
MED by the chairman OF the finance COM

made by f. j. Edwards, a well-known
newspaper man, who wrote over the nom

good breed, and keep the best possible care
