A Street Singer That funkied the Frextl
Capital For Three Months.

Once. and once only. was it given to
Paris 20 be puzzled BY street singer.
The apparition only lasted three months.
but while it lasted it was most perplex-
ing &c us. One evening all the loungers
on the bonlevards. who were slipping
their beer, or "strangling a parrot. !" as
the French phrase hath it to describe
the process of imbibing dose of that
subtle poison, absinth, were mildly
bored by observing the approach of three
street musicians. One man trundled a
piano. second carried violin and q
third, tail. slight woman in deep
mourning, her Grape veil sweeping over
her face, took up her station between
them. They paused and prepared for
action, wherenpon many people, know
ing the vileness and discord of street
music, made ready 10 leave, when, 10
the utter amazement Of all. to the ac-
compartment of two fairly good instru-
ments, arose in the night air an exqui-
sitely modulated aud very powerful fe-
male voice, singing, with heartbreak
in every note, the wild wall Of Traviata
over her approaching death. "Gran Dio,
morir 81 giovane. =
Perhaps the voice gained by the sur
prise of the public, perhaps il was aided
by the stiffness of the sultIy air, but
certainly il sounded most divine Thun-
ders of applause and a rain Of coin, both
gold and silver, rewarded the trio's ca
forts, but they never gave but two songs
per evening and then disappeared The
adventurous men who followed the sup
pie grace of the woman's tall figure re-
turned discounted scared away by the
truculent aspect of her two companions
During that whole summer the
strange band would reappear every
night, and every night would reap a
harvest, but when the summer departed
they, too, vanished and never again re-
appeared The Yelled Songstress, as she
was called, came from the darkness and
vanished into the night. and who she
was or where she vanished is myS-
terry. OF course the police knew, but the
archives of the prefecture are sacred
from the gaze Of the profane, and ms
that is the case, and as Paris forgets as
speedily as she adores wildly, we had
the arithmetical puzzle, maud, the
lightning calculator, TO distract our at
tention that autumn in front of the cafe,
so the Yelled Songstress sank out of
sight, and the waves of Oblivion have
closed over her now and forever. Paris

MANKATO, Minn., Nov. 1S.-At s
o'clock yesterday afternoon Michael
Klein, man of Belgrade, Nicollet
county, eight miles from this city, sent
both charges of a double-barrel shot
gun into his body, dying instantly. The
deed was done while trying to escape re-
committal to the insane asylum. He
was a powerful man about twenty
eight years of age and was first taken
insane three years ago, as the result
os a severe attack of erysipelas, which
affected his brain. Treatment at the
st. Peter hospital caused his recovery
and he was soon released. He had
shown no symptoms of mental de-
rangement until a few days ago when
he caught a severe cold. Since then
he has been rapidly growing worse.
Yesterday it was decided to have him
recommitted, but when he heard of it
he secured a shotgun and declared en-
phatically that he would not be taken
back to the asylum. Sheriff Block, of
st. Peter, was sent for but did not ar.
rive until after the tragedy Five or.
six neighboring young men undertook
to capture the crazy man, but their eff:
forts were in vain as he drove every
one away with the gun. Finally in the.
presence of his crippled father he
placed the muzzle Of the gun against.
one shoulder, with the butt resting on.
the ground, and with stick, pressed
the trigger. The charge of shot en-
tered his shoulder. Then he discharged
the other barrel into his neck under the
chin, tearing away his throat and near
ly severing his head from his body He
was unmarried and made his. home
with his parents.

Just how many men were engaged In
the hold-up Is uncertain. Only two

there were others, because when they

more were heard talking on Opposite

to have been tramp stealing a ride
HE WAS ARRESTED
without delay on reaching here, and
says his name is Otto Farland, claims
his home is in Fergus Falls. Farland
says he was riding on the train when
two men climbed on the front platform
of the blind baggage car at Elk River.
One of them had something wrapped
up in blanket. After the train had
gone some distance one of his compan-
ions climbed over the tender. Farland
says he asked the other where his
pdi tiicI was SOlllS, dllu Ilo I6Dlleu liza
he was going to see the engineer. A
minute or two later the man took a
cloth from his pocket and tied it over
his face. Farland said: What are you
putting that on for?''
''Well, were going to stop this train"
he replied.
Just then the train came to a. stop
and the man got off and walked up
toward the engine. Farland says that
is all he knows about the matter and
that is all the connection he had with
1t. The passengers were not molested,
but were more or less frightened They
all told the same story of the affair
when they reached st. Cloud. The
first thing they noticed was the slow
ing up of the train, and then they
heard the shooting. The train, which
was due here at 1920 last night, left
for the West at 1:3O this morning.
The two men who ram in here with
the engineer got off near the state re-
formatory, on the East side, and about
two miles below the city. The others
who are supposed to be in the party
disappeared at the scene of the robbery.
From their unsuccessful attempt at
robbing .he car which they selected,
and the fact that they overlooked an
other one in which were valuables,
they might have carried off, it is pre-
sumed that the work was done by men
who We're green at the business.

DULUTH, Mimi, Nov. 18.-The case

district court. Plaintiff wants $25, 900
damages for alleged libel, contained in
an answer to the suit of one Newton
De Forest, for adverse possession of
certain pine lands in Carlton county.
The answer in the land suit alleges in
substance that Twomey attempted to
extort money from Mitchell & Mcclure
by holding over their heads certain
alleged evidence of fraud in treating
fictitious persons ON pine lands in Carl

claim deed from one Gordon to De

HOLMES.
FRESH SENSATION IN COURT
'Damning Evidence That One of
Holiness Lawyers Bought Il
False Affidavit.

CHICAGO, Nov. Is. The News
this evening publishes the following
story: James McNeary, conductor
of Car 676, of the Sixty-third street
electric line, has sprung a new SEN
sation in the Holmes case by stat
ing that Benjamin z. Pietzel is alive,
and that he recently talked with him
on his car. Mr.. McNeary claims
there could be no mistake, as he
worked nine months for Pietzel, and
knows the peculiarities of his voice.
According to McNeary, Pietzel board
ed his car a few days previous to
Holmes trial. PietZeIs beard had
grown around the greater part of his
face, so that he was completely dis
guised. When addressed, however,
he admitted his identity, and asked
as friend that McNeary keep silent,
as he was on his way to Philadelphia.
But McNeary called in Motorman
Letterman, and he also claims that
he had conversation with Pietzel,
who took a transfer to the Cottage
Grove cable line. Robert Corbett,
who has been following the case
for months in behalf of the Farmers
and Mechanics National bank, of
Fort Worth, Tex, claims that he
has also seen Pietzel.
"I never believed that Pietzel was
dead,'' he declared to a Daily News
reporter this morning, "for the fol-
lowing reasons: First, when L was
searching the castle months ago the
man who resembles the man seen
by the conductor and motorman, and
who, 1 then thought, was Pietzel,
found me in the building looking
over some papers. He asked me if
had seen a tool chest. I told him
there was one in the front room.
He said that one was not his; that he
had left it in the room where was
engaged. 1 asked him who he was.
He said Mrs. Pietzel sent him there
for the tool chest, and when I asked
his name he said, after thinking for
a moment, Andrews and then left.
Saturday I learned that Mrs. Pietzel
was stopping at 6233 May street with
ask her if she ever sent for the tool
chest. Both she and her daughter,
Dessa, declared they had not, and
also discovered that Mrs. Pietzel is
wavering in her belief in the identi-
fication of Pietzel, and begins to
hope that the children are living;
but for her husband, she does not
care whether he is living or dead. I
believe that if Holmes is not granted
a new trial Pietzel will declare him
self to the governor of Pennsylvania
when all other means are exhausted,
and Isaac r. Hit Jr. and myself
both have his address in Philadel-
phia. Minnie Williams is stopping
at the same place under the name of
Mrs. E. M. Gardener, while Pietzel
is known as G. D. Hall"

MANUFACTURED EVIDENCE.
Attorney Shoemaker Is Held for
Trial on u Grave Charge.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 1S.-
The evil spirit that presides over the
destinies of H. H. Holmes, king of
murderers, and eventually destroys
all who ally themselves with him,
found another victim today. The
first swift turn this extraordinary
case took was on the first day of the
recent trial, when the arch-criminal
dismissed his lawyers and the 'pris-
oner at the bar" became counsel for
the defense. Today the tables were
turned, and senior counsel for the
defense became a prisoner at the
bar. William A. Shoemaker, the
young attorney whose first associa-
ton with the case is obscured in the
mystery which envelopes its every
detail, passed through an ordeal to-
day as severe as any his client has
been called to face, and the crisis
came when he was held in 81 500 bail
to answer a charge of subornation of
perjury. This means that he manu-
featured evidence tending to prove
that Benjamin F. Pietzel, for whose
murder Holmes was convicted two
weeks ago, committed suicide, and
that he, Shoemaker, paid a woman
the commonwealth had supplied the
woman, although Shoemaker was ig-
norant of this, and after he had pro-
duced this important "after-discov-
cred evidence" and read it with
great impressment to the court, he
ton for a new trial, which had been
fixed for today, be postponed to give
him and his associate counsel, Sam
uel F. Rotan, time to run down this
and other clews recently obtained.
Then it was that District Attorney
Graham arose and exposed the plot
His declaration came like a thunder
bolt. The court stared in wide-eyed
amazement; the spectators turned in
their chairs and gasped; the accused
lawyer sank back in his seat, livid
and tremulous, while his innocent as
sociate glared at him with unveiled
horror. But the prisoner in the dock
rested his cold, blue eyes on the
shrinking figure of his legal repre-
sentative and smiled with scorn.
Briefly told, the details of the
charges are these: The trial for the
Pietzel murder was not two days
old when Shoemaker approached a
private detective named John
Schweichler, and asked him to pro-
cure a woman who lived around
Twelfth or Thirteenth and Callowhill
or Vine streets, who would swear to
certain facts in connection with the
finding of PietZel's body at 1916 Cal
lowhill street. Schweichler assented,
