heart. He was tried and convicted by

Shortly alter landing IN the penlten-
tiary he made his escape, and aided by

BURNED TO DEATH BY TRAMPS.
Horrible End of Wilford G. Smith, of New

ark. q.
NEWARK, O., Jan. Wilford C..
Smith, of the Newark Gas-light and
Coke Co., was almost cremated yester-
day morning by tramps who have
been in the habit of sleeping in his
barn. Mr.. Smith determined to put II
stop to it, 1t was dark when he went
to the barn, and Just as he reached the
top of the stairway leading to the hay
NOW some one struck him a severe
blow on the head and escaped. lie
then went up into the NOV, where he
was again assaulted by another man,
and in the struggle he fell down the
stairway unconscious.
After recovering, he found himself
surrounded by fire and bis clothes
burning. He managed to tear off the
burning clothes and started for the
door, but was overcome by the intense
heat and again sank back unconscious.
Some one turned in the alarm and
the fire department responded at once.
Mr.. Smith was found lying upon the
floor with nothing on his person ex-
cept his undershirt. He was carried
into the open air where it was found
that he was so badly burned that the
skin dropped off his hands and lips,
the entire body being terribly parched.
He died last night. 1t is presumed
that one of the tramps applied the
match, after striking Mr., Smith, to
cover up the crime.

THE CAvEN MURDER MYSTERY.
Worthless Testimony of AN Old Lawyer
Who "knew 1t AL"

CLEVELAND, o.. Jan. s.-Another eff
fort to solve the Caven murder mystery
was made by Coroner Arbuclle yester-
day. Attorney Walter ii. Shupe, Sc
years old, late of New York, has
within the past few days made state
ments that he knew all about the case
and promised to have the murderer in
Jail ere this. Yesterday Mr.. Shupe
was examined by the coroner. the re-
suit of the examination proving that
Shupe knows no more about the case
than everybody knows. The story he
told was in substance as follows:
THE murder was done by the hus-
band of woman with whom Caven
was holding improper relations. The
woman is 26 years old, but do not
know her name. The murderer was
advised by an attorney to wound
Caven SO as to have evidence to use in
divorce proceedings, The people who
have the proof are holding back for a
reward. | will give you no names, but
will take my information to the
mayor"
The coroner and police think Shupe's
story has no foundation.
