FIEND OF A MOTHER
Her Inhuman Work Startles
the People Of Columbus,
Ohio.
SHE CUTS THE THR0ATS
Of Two Children, but a Third
Begs Successfully for
Life.
CALMLY TELLS THE DETAILS
Domestic Trouble the Cause
Of the Tpagedy--Three
Locked Up.

COLUMBUS, o., April L. Last
Saturday Mrs. w. H. B. Williams,
wife of a real estate man residing
at Grove City, a village about eight
miles southeast of Columbus, arrived
in the city with her three children,
Annie aged fourteen, Maud twelve
and Harry seven, and registered at
the Park hotel. This morning about
o'clock Mrs. Williams left the hotel,
and about o'clock this afternoon a
chamber maid who went to the room
to put it in order found two of the
children, Maud and Harry, dead in
bed with their throats cut. There
was bloody razor on the foot Of
the bed The boy had died without
a struggle, but there were evidences
that the girl had fierce fight with
her inhuman mother. Annie said
that when her mother went away
she cautioned her not to go near
the bed, and to say nothing to any
one about her abGence. Mr.. Will
Jams arrived this afternoon, and
would not permit his daughter to
talk.
Domestic troubles are said to have
caused the estrangement between
Williams and his wife and her SUBJ
sequent acts, but he refused to talk.
Later Williams and his daughter
were locked up pending an investiga-
ton. This evening Mrs. Williams
was arrested. She showed
NO EVIDENCE OF INSANITY,
and told the story of the horrible
crime in a calm voice. She said she
had made up her mind last week
to kill herself and her children, and
came to Columbus for that purpose.
She secured some opium, and all
three took the drug last Saturday
night. 1t took effect only on the
little girl Maud. She then deter
mined to secure a razor, and waited
until this morning. She first cut the
boys wrist, expecting him to bleed
to death. He awakened, however,
and then she cut his throat. The
body of Maud was not touched by
the razor. Mrs. Williams said she
then asked Annie to let her cut her
wrist, but the child begged SO pite-
ously that she lost courage, and left
the hotel, intending to drown her
self. She said it then occurred to her
that Annie might be accused of the
crime, and she changed her mind,
and went to the house of a friend,
Mrs. John c. Lester, in another part
of the town, where she was found
! this evening.
Annie, who witnessed the murder of
her little brother, says when her
mother left the hotel, the latter eau
toned her not to leave the room for
fifteen or twenty minutes. Annie
waited, and then went to her fathers
office in this city, and delivered to him
note which her mother had given her
for him. She also told her father ac-
cording to her mothers direction
that the two children were dead, and
he had returned with her to the house.

PIRATES OR FILIBUSTERS.
Yucatan Fishermen Report Armed
Vessels in the Gulf.

PROGRESSO, Yucatan, April L.
A fishing bark just in off the gulf
of Mexico reports having encoun-
tered two unknown boats heavily
armed with cannon, and apparently
well equipped with all the NUM-
tions of war. When hailed the boats
made no reply, and the Mexican fish
ermen, being afraid to make any
further advances, made their es-
cape from the locality as fast as
possible. 1t is thought the ships
have some bearing on the Cuban
revolution, although it is reported
that there are pirates manned with
renegade Cubans coasting about the

A Detective Springs "a Surprise on
Train Thieves

ELYRIA, O., April detective Null

the sixth stood guard. Muldowney,
who saw them get on, crept forward
over the train, and, after a fight, cap
tured the one who was on watch. The
men inside the car took alarm and be-
gan firing through the roof and sides of
the car. More than twenty shots were
fired, one bullet passing through the
detectives coat. With the help of the
train crew, Muldowney succeeded in
fastening the robbers inside the car,
but they broke open the door and
jumped from the train as it was run
ming twenty miles AN hour. Seven

very light throughout the state, not to

was 1O6,392. The Republican candi-
dates for regents are elected by about
similar pluralities. Reports from the

show that the Republicans have held
