Boston Aug 31-A dispatch from Colo
rado Springs, Col, states that it is the be-
lief here that the Hatch who has been mem
toned in connection with the Holmes muir
/ ders is Holmes himself, and that he is the
/ CLARK W Hatch, Boston" who was tried
at BreckinHdge, Col, in April, 1890,
for the murder OF his miser uncle
Hatch was the New England agent of the
Travellers Insurance Company, OF Hart
ford, with his office in this city While
| in Colorado in 1890 his uncle, who lived
as a hermit outside OF Breckinridge, was shot
dead by some unknown party
Hatch was arrested ana after a preim-
mary hearing was discharged He re-
turned to Boston, and the grand jury in
Colorado indicted him for the murder
He was arrested and sent out there again,
was tried and acquitted
He started for Boston again, and when
at Worcester Detective O'Day, of the Wor-
cester police arrested him on a charge OF
passinga orgedcheckona bankinW Worcester.
TRIED AND ACQUITTED.
He was tried in Worcester and acquitted.
The verdict was surprise to the insurance
company which had counted upon a con
yictlon. The company had during Hatch's
absence in Colorado, ), ,madean aninves tigationOf
his affairs and found they were in a fearful
state.
How much the company lost it is i'm
possible tosay. Thefgures have neverbeen
known and, intact, cannoteven bediscDvered
by the company 5 accountants.
Upon Hatch's discharge in Worcester the
insurance people, to keep himincustudy until
they could perfect another criminal charge
against him, instituted a civil suit to re-
cover $4,000. Hewas arrested as he was
leaving the court.
Hatchs lawyer hurried before the court
and got a writ of habeas corpus and had
the arrest declared Illegal. All this time
the agents OF the company in Rnston had
been busy getting out warrant charging
Hatch with forgery here. The warrant was
placed in the hands of Police Inspector
Dugan, who took the train for Worcester,
but arrived some time after Hatch had been
discharged.
DEALING IN ST, JOHN.
The next heard Of Hatch was at st.
John, N B., few days later. He was
seen in the depot there by former en-
ploye Of the Travellers Insurance Company.
Hatch then disappeared. He has not been
seen since, though it has been rumored'
now aud then that he is in the Argentine
Republic.
1t is alleged he went 10 various agents
in bis own district and got insured. OF
course all the papers would pass through
his hands and he could pass all applica-
tions be chose. In reasonable time the
claim was made to the agent, the neces-
sary papers being apparently satisfactorily
fixed by those making the claim, and
being transmitted to Hatch by the agent,
were allowed. The chances OF detection
We're slight indeed. but finally he was
suspected, and the thing came out after a
most thorough investigation.
Hatch ana Holmes, while both were in
surance swindlers, are different men.
Hatch was more than six feet tail and
heavily built. while Holmes is a very
much smaller man.

Rhode Island, although the most d.
minutlve Of the States, still adheres to the
folly of two Capitals simply because her
people have not Outgrown their own
colonial sectional jeal0usies. Formerly,
from l7Ol to 1873, Connecticut also had
two Capitals, the excuse being similar in
both cases, viz, the love of independ-
ence in each of the two original 'tplan-
tations" which composed the colonies in
their original form. Newport was. in
the early colonial days, one of the most
prosperous cities on the east coast. Dur
ing the Revolutionary War that city sent
out swarms OF privateers to prey on Brit
lsh commerce, and in revenge his ma
jesty ordered 5000 Hessans ouartered
on the town. They burned most of the
houses. sacked the library and robbed and
murdered the citizens. Although it was
the Capital it lost its prestige, and tho
citizens OF that portion of the colony
agreed TO allow session of the Legisla-
ture to be held at Providence. From
that day forward the city last named
claimed right to at least half of the Cap
ltai business. However, the people of
the Newport region (which is verv pop

STAFFORD YATES SHOOTING AFFRhY
Both Men Tell Their Stories in the
Court.
Stafford Says Yates Abused and Strucl
IIim-Ihe Case Taken Under
AdYiSement.

The examination of John Stafford,
charged with assault TO murder jeff
Yates. occupied the attention OF the Police
Court yesterday afternoon.
The first witness for the prosecution
was ates He stated that he WAS stand
ing on the porch of the boarding house
conducted by Mrs. Jacobs, on Twenty
eighth street, last Monday afternoon,
Just after dinner. and was about to re-
turn to the car house, when Stafford en-
tered the gale and passed partially around
the house.
There had been a difference between
Stafford and himself for some time, in
fact, "a few months before he Lad slapped
Slafford's face and had been given TO un
derstand that the latter meant to shoot
him at the first opportunity.
He waited until Stafford had passed
around the house before he started to-
ward the gate. AS he stepped OF the
porch, Stafford, who had hated short
distance beyond the corner Of the build
ing, called TO him and asked If he was
heeled. He answered that he was not,
and started TO catch J-street car that
was going toward the barn.
AS he turned he heard the report of q
pistol and felt sharp pain III the left
side OF his head. He did not realize that
he was injured until, in replacing his hat,
which had fallen oil, he round blood on
his hand.
He walked TO the car, got on the front
platform, and told the motorman that
Stafford had hit him ali right enough.
Under cross-exainination Yates ack-
nOwledged that he had always found Stall
ford 10 be very quiet, gentlemanly 1eI-
low, but that OF late he had seemed uppish
and was disposed to treat him with cool
ness.
a few months before the shooting they
had some words in the barn, and Stafford
had told him that he considered him the
most overbearing talker he had ever en-
| countered. so the following day he de-
manded an apology from Stafford. This
The latter refused 10 tender, SO he slapped
! his face.
The defendant. Stafford, made a state
ment TO the effect that after some six
| months of warm friendship between
! \ ates and himself, a misunderstanding
| arose, and one evening Yates struck him
! twice.
From that day he had been constantly
! bullied and insulted by Yates, and on the
| afternoon of the shooting, seeing 1ates
on the porch of the boarding house, he
| passed around to enter the back way, So
as to avoid any difficulty.
AS he walked by, Yates called him "a
! black - --." He turned and
informed him that he would no longer
stand his abuse. Yates struck at him
! with his left hand, and then made mo-
| tor towards his pocket as though to
/ draw weapon. He then fired.
Judge Davis announced that he would
! take the case under advisement.
