ton, brought in averdict that the deceased
had come to his death from wounds
inflicted from pistol in the hands OF
Ferdinand B. Kenneth. The body of Law
son was taken north tonight, to be buried
in Oakland, his birthplace.
Alfred Lawson, the son of the dead de-
tective, denies that his father owed Ken
nett cent, and says he has receipts show
ing that he did not. Young Lawson
further said:
" do not blame Kennett, for he was
urged on to do what he did. There is an
other party back of it ALL NY father
never said Kenneth was drunk at the time
he buried his wife. He was out of town,
and did not return for several DAYS after
Mrs. kennett's funeral, and remember of
his remarking at the supper table, when
he heard that Kennett's wife was dead
Poor fellow! He is having hard time
of it,"
Kenneth has employed counsel to defend
him and now refuses to be interviewed or
make further statements to the public.
He was formally arraigned in Judge
Young's court this morning and his exam
lnation set for next Saturday. 1t is under
stood the plea of the defense will be in
sanity. AT the request of Detective Insley
Police Surgeon Bryant examined Kennett
after the burial of his wife and pronounced
him mentally unbalanced and advised that
he be kept at home.
There is story afloat to the effect that
Kennett believed Lawson had been SLAM
dering him. Kennetts wife died about a
week ago and at the funeral there was a
hitch in the ceremony, causing delay OF
several hours. There was also some trou-
BILE about the minister. Kennett had heard
that Lawson had circulated story that he
was drunk at his wifes funeral.
Kennett's friends believe he is insane.
He spent one whole night at the grave OF
his wife and ever since her death has suf-
fered terribly from nervous prostration.
No one saw the shooting except the prin-
cipals, but the story that Lawson first as
saulted Kenneth is not believed and does
not come from Kenneth.

despair Of the baggage smasher. 1t refuses
to smash.
So do paper car wheels. They have been
in use for years on some of the most inn
portant railroads in this country. II must
not be supposed that the wheels are made
entirely OF paper This material only forms
the interior shell. Having been subjected
10 terrific pressure, 1t is moulded and firmly
bolted to the outer rim, which Is OF steel.
Greater durability and lightness lead you
to get under one. If you do you may possi-
bly, have use for one Of the paper coff1ns
which are being turned out at wholesale
by a firm at Westheld, Mass.
The railroad train of the future Is
likely not only to have paper wheels, but
to run on paper rails. These are made
entirely of paper and are formed in moulds
under great pressure. They have been
used to some extent in Russia and Ger
many, and are said TO be free from many
of the defects Of the ordinary steel rail.
Paper horseshoes are another European
invention Among the advantages claim
ed for them is that they maintain a rough
surface, enabling the horse to get good
grip on the smooth pavements. German
paper makers have put on the market a
substance called papier sculptor" which
is used instead Of clay for modelling. 1t Is
simply paper pulp kept soft enough TO be

TWO BEGGARs OF PARIS.
An Old Woman Who Died OF starva-
ton Had Over 10000 Francs.
From The New York World.

From the New York World.
People In Paris have been deceived re-
Gently by two remarkable beggars. One
was an old widow of over eighty. She had
been living in a house in the Rue du Texel
upon the charity of the other dodgers. She
was an object of pity, this distressed yet
ladylike and gentle old woman. and the
little purse made up for her each week
was contributed to gladly by those who
were under the same roof with her.
Her room remained locked for over for
ty-eight hours and the police were called
in. The old woman lay upon her bed. A
doctor was called. He said she was dead.
and an examination indicated that the
cause was starvtion. There seemed 10 be
nothing worth mixing an inventory Of, but
the police investigated perfunctorily and
under a heap of rubbish they found $500
francs in large bank notes. a more careful
search revealed in the straw of her bed a
heap of bonds and other securities 20 the
value of 5000 francs. The poor old wo-
mans heirs are being sought for, but there
is not the faintest clue to them.
A clever swinaler presented himself in
Paris under the guse OF a deaf mute. He
was first noticed by the police while con-
Quoting an energetic begging campaign
from house to house Upon being arrested
he went into an energetic pantomime, to
which the officers paid little attention. In
the police station he suddenly lost his in
trinity and uttered torrent OF invective
against the police. 1t was afterwards found
out that, speaking five languages, he had
piled his trade in all the countries Of Eu-
rope and with remarkable success. His
method of operation was to visit only the
houses Of the wealthy and to strike for
large sums. In Paris his operations Melted
him not less than 80 francs a day.
He would first write to the families whom
he intended to visit. They were always of
the foreign colony. The letters would de-
tail his pitiable state. They were well
written and seemed TO have the impress
of truth upon them. A few days later he
would call and contriving TO be seen by
master or mistress would show host Of
certificates of physicians, mayors OF cities
and commissaries Of police in proof Of
What he had written. The interviews with
these wealthy people were naturally had
upon paper. and the answers TO the ques-
lions put 10 Aim would be so beautifully
and carefully written that they would
seldom fail to win the sum sought. This
young man--Gustav Remshager-is now
held by the police, and his conviction is
practically assured.
