AN OLD CRIME REVEALED,
Discovery Of the Skeleton of a
Prominent Woman Who
Disappeared.
Evidence That She Was Murdered
for Large Sum Of Money In
Her Possession.

WOODSVILLE, N. H, Oct. 1s.-By the
discovery of skeleton one of the most IA
nous cases in the annals of the criminal
history of the East was solved to-day.
Four years ago Mrs. Milo Gray, the wife OF
Henry ID. Gray, one of the most prominent
business men of New Hampshire, and at
one time candidate for Governor. left town
presumably to join her husband, who was
In San Francisco at the time.
She had with her large sum of money.
She never reached her destination, and
until to-day, although some of the greatest
detectives of the country have been at work
on the case, there have been no new deyel.
opments.
Near this town is an old house which has
been deserted for many years. Last week
by order OF the Selectm en- work was com.
menced tearing it down. When part OF
the front stairs had been pulled away the
bones of human leg were found, and on
further investigation the whole skeleton
was exposed.
Word was at once sent to State Detective
Odlln, and after the examination of sew
eral buttons and locket, which were found
near the body, he announced that it was
the body of the woman who disappeared SO
mysteriously.
With the finding Of the body it was also
discovered that Mrs. Gray had undoubt.
edly been murdered, as the skull was sep
arted from the trunk as if by some sharp
instrument, while several of the other
bones showed cutting marks in similar
manner. The case is one of the most
famous ever known in the East, owing to
the high standing of the murdered woman.
The police once more will take up the
clew, as they claim that with evidence
already at hand they are reasonabl sure
OF detecting the murderer and it is claimed
that an arrest may take place any day.

SO MISS VANDERBILT'S FUTURE
HUSBAND VIOLATED A PARK
ORDINANCE.
TAKEN TO THE sTATION-HOUsE.
" HIS GRACE" MUCH ANNOYED BY
NOTORIETY AND RUDE"
POLICEMAN"

NEW YORK, n. V, oct. 1s.-The Duke
of Marlborough, the fancee OF Miss Con-
suelo Vanderbilt. was arrested in Central
Park this afternoon on the charge OF vio-
lating a park ordinance. The Duke was
seen by park policeman passing rapidly
down a hill on his bicycle with his feet
on the handles. This is in violation of the
park ordinance made for the safety of per-
sons using the hill.
The Duke accompanied the policeman 10
the station. He said he regretted the oc-
currence. as he was unaware of the exist
ence of any ordinance which he had ap-
parently broken. Roundsman Ryan, who
was in charge, discharged the Duke after
warning him not TO repeat the offense.
The Duke returned to the Plaza Hotel
immediately after he was released. The
news of his arrest quickly spread among
his acquaintances. a score or more of
whom called to offer condolences. The
Duke, however, refused to receive any
body, and sent his secretary, Mr.. Morris,
downstairs to the hotel office to say that
his Grace was engaged and could not be
interrupted under any circumstances.
81 know the details of the whole affair"
said Mr.. Morris, land it was an outrage
the story when he returned to the hotel.
He was very much annoyed over the incl
dent, but does not contemplate taking any
measures against the policeman who was
so rude as to arrest him.
"His Grace was riding along at an aver
age rate of speed when policeman came
galloping along, rudely blowing a shrill.
annoying whistle. His Grace, of course,
did Dot kpOvy what tho vuh hiuftipn
but continued until he was halted, You
are violating the rules said the police
man, and will have TO go to the station
house.
"I'll go anywhere, said the Duke, for
supposed that any one who chose to do
SO could ride in the park
Its violation of the park ordnance
the policeman answered, ito either coast or
ride faster than eight miles an hour
1.-The Duke accompanied the rude police
man to the sub-station at McGowans Pass
where he was allowed to go. The police
man who made the arrest apologized."
Mr.. Morris added that the Duke had
only been riding for few months and was
not at all expert. He did not think that
the Duke was experts enough in the use of
the. wheel to coast.
The afternoons experience is not the
first that the Duke has had with American
policemen. A week or two ago a coach
containing party, among whom was the
Duke, was bowling along through Wap-
pingers Falls when one of the horses cast

smith shop and the usual concourse as
sembled to gaze at the coaching party.

from the coach and started for walk.

when the gruff voice of Constable reached
them. He was warned that he was tres
passing and he was much put out by the
incident, but Miss Vanderbilt was not at
all disturbed.

but took no action on Mr.. Francis ap-
pointment, though the substituted meas
ures affecting his appointment had been
returned from the upper house. There is
a widespread opposition to the election of
Mr.. Francis, and it is a question as to
whether his appointment will be confirmed
or not. He is said to be member of an
order IN the church which is not very
popular with some churchmen, the Con-
fraternity of the Blessed Sacrament, and it
is also declared that if he were to go into
the missionary work in Japan he would
have to work alone, because he would be
unable to get any priests who would work
under his Jurisdiction.

DR. FRAKER IS INDICTED,
Four Charges Growing Out of
His Great Insurance
SWindleS.
The Accused Expects to Soon Sc.
cure His Release From Jail
on Bonds.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 49,. The
Grand Jury of Ray County at Richmond
to-day returned four indictments against
DR.. George W. Fraker. Three of the in
dictments charge an attempt to obtain
money under false pretenses. The fourth
charges al attempt by fraudulent repre-
sentations to beat and defraud The find
ings of the indictments occupied the atten-
ton of the jury four days. Scores of wit
nesses testified and left the Grand Jury
impressions strong enough to warrant
their action in the matter.
DR.. Fraker is at present confined in the
Ray County Jail. AT his preliminary exam
lnation before Justice of the Peace his
bond was placed at $4,000. No efforts
were made by the doctor or mis- attorneys
10 furnish such sum. It is well known
fact that Judge Broaddus of the Ray
County Circuit Court considers the sum
excessive. Acting upon this the doctor,
with his attorneys, will appear before the
court at the earliest opportunity for the
placing of bail. The amount will prob
billy be between $4,000 and $1,000, as Judge
Broaddus has already so expressed him
self. DR.. Fraker expects to give the bail
and regain his freedom.

EARN a R1CH BONUS.
Builders of tae Indiana Are In Tery
Great Luck.

Builders of t*e Indiana Are in Ferry
Great Luck.
BOSTON, MASS, Oct. 1e.-In her official
trial trip between Cape Ann and Boone
Island, distance of thirtyone knots, the
battle-ship Indiana made an average speed
of 1851 knots for four hours. AS there
was premium offered of $25, 900 for every
quarter-knot made over fifteen, the Cramps
will receive $4,000 as bonus in excess of
the contract price offered. The speed de-
veloped by the Indiana is secondary to the
wonderful way in which the machinery
worked. 1t was a perfect day for trial
trip. The atmosphere was brilliantly clear
and the breeze that was blowing only had
weight enough to crest the sea with little
whitecaps.
At 10 o'clock the Indiana approached the
starting line and at 0:03 :1314 she was off.
The run to Boone Island was made against
the tide and consumed two hours two
minutes and seven seconds, the ship pass
ing the last stakeboat at 1905.
The average speed for the thirty-one
knots was at the rate of 1924 knots per
hour. The speed made to Boone Island
was disappointing, but on the way back
was noticeably greater. 1t was 2:30:2l
when the trial was over, just one hour
fifty-tive minutes and thirty-ive seconds
from Boone Island, and total of three
hours eight minutes and twenty-eight Sec
onds.
The engineers of the trial board were
surprised at the wonderful performance of
the engines to-day; not the slightest diff
Guilty developed and the engineers were
unanimous in the opinion that the engines
were the best they have ever handled.
During the last fifteen minutes of the run
IL 800 horsepower was developed.
The average horsepower developed was,
however, 300, which was 700 more than re-
quired by the Government. The maxi
mum revolutions of the screws were 131,
and the average revolutions were between
12S and 13o. The average steam pressure
at the boilers was 165 and at the engines
161. 1t Is expected that the Indiana will
go into commission about November /.

RAIDED BIZ PIRATES.

ST. JOHNS, N, F., Oct. 19. = III. M. S.
Buzzard, which was sent to these waters
from the West Indies squadron last week
to put stop to the piratical depredations
which have been going on of late on the
New Foundland coast, and also on the
mainland, returned from her first cruise
today after a fruitless search. Several
times she fell in with piratical-looking
craft, but as she had no direct evidence
against them it was impossible to make
any seizures, as, when she sent an officer
aboard to investigate, the supposed pirate
was always peaceful fishing schooner. or
within the law, SO far as to prevent any
action being taken.
The Buzzard, however, brings further
narrowing tales of the way in which the
whole country facing on the waters at the
mouth Of the st. Lawrence are being ter
rorized. The little fishing village of St.
Pierre, on the western coast of the island,
has been visited four times within the
month.
The pirates have seized the opportunity
when the greater part of the male popula-
tion have been off on long fishing trips to
make their raids, as at these times they
meet with comparatively little obstruc-
ton.
Matters have got so bad that the former
residents Of the little fishing village are
leaving in scores, and if the same rate of
exodus goes on for short time longer the
whole village will be deserted.
The robbers are not content with merely
taking everything of value, but in every
case they have fred the village at differ
ent places, and it has been only with the
greatest effort that the inhabitants have
prevented the entire community from be-
ing wiped out.
The last raid, which was made on the
14th inst, resulted in the death OF two
brothers, John and Henry Davidson, who
made an effort to defend their homes.
From over two score of villages and fishing
towns along the coast reports of a similar
character were given.
