curing his booty, he made a bee line for

cents, and Fastening 20 the house put the
articles under the bed. He retired about
o'clock in the evening, but not TO sleep,
for when the American Screw Company's
bell struck the hour of midnight he i'm
mediately arose, put on his clothes, seized
the gun, threw it over his shoulder, and
lit the lantern. Making his way cautiously
down stairs he entered his mothers room,
and ashing the light across her face found
her asleep. Then he entered his
uncle's room and bringing the light to
bear on his face, saw that he was asleep.
Then proceeding on his way to the foot
of the stairs he made a motion to open the
door, when q heavy hand was laid on his
shoulder, and his uncle, in voice OF
thunder, asked him where he was goingY
The gun and the lantern dropped from
the grasp of the adventurer, and
in weak voice he SAID
he was going to shoot cats.
MIR. Rooney gave him a cuff behind the
ear and told him to go to bed which he
did with alacrity. Early this morning he
was brought by his uncle to station and
Captain Baker took him before Judge

CASE OF CONSUL WALLER
Claim That the Ex.Minister Was
Prosecuted
Statement Made by the Attorney OF the
Man Alleged to Have Been Convicted
by a flock Court

WASHINGTON, April %. - Ex-Con-
gresham John M. Langston, the attor-
ney of ex-Consul Waller, who is impris-
oned at st. Pierre by the French. is de-
termined to push the case with all the
power he possesses.
"In the first place, said he, "we pro-
pose to MAINTAIN the concessions OBJ
tained by Mr.. Waller in Madagascar. The
whole purpose of the pro ecution and per-
secution of Waller by the French gov
ernment was to espoil him OF the
concessions he procured. The French
government rallies that the concessions
are of immense value. Then we intend
to force the French government to pay to
Waller an indemnity commensurate with
the persecution he has undergone. He
was given a mock trial, was threatened
and finally conveyed in irons to France,
where he now lies in prison awaiting a
civil trial"
Mr.. Langston said the amount of in
demnity to be asked would be determined
after he had communicated with Waller.
Mr. Langston is entirely satisfied with the
course of the state department. which. he
said, had called for thorough investiga-
tion of and report on the case by Minister
Eustis and the consul at Tamatave, Mad.
agascar. AS soon as these are received,
if they are shown to bear out Mr. Waller s
representations, Mr.. Langston expects the
administration to take prompt action
looking to the release OF the prisoner and
to demand from France a proper money
indemnity

EX=TREASURER IN THE TOLLS
Tie Man Who Shot Bi icycIist Has Been
Arrested
II Is Claimed That the Crime Was Justifiable
and the Prisoner Has Been
Released on Bail

MILWAUKEE, April 2s. - ES-City
Treasurer Luscomb was formally placed
under arrest this afternoon, charged with
murder III the first degree for shooting
his brother. law, Emil A. Sanger,
brother of the bicyclst, on Saturday
night.
The prisoner was released on $40, 900
bail, furnished by his father and Henry
Hasse. Public sympathy seems to be
with Luscomb. and hundreds of the lead
ing citizens called upon him at the police
station to offer assistance and advice.
Even some of the members of the
Sanger family do not bear him any great
resentment, knowing as they did that the
murdered man had cruelty beaten his
wife and threatened to kill Luscomb.
When Sanger went to the Luscomb home
on Grand avenue. where his wife had
taken refuge with her brother and father
after he mad beaten her, he carried
heavy cane but no revolver and when he
stepped up to the door and tried to force
an entrance, Luscomb shot him through
heavy plate glass. His head was literally
filled with the pieces and he died in
star ty. He had been to the house be-
fore and showed a gardener long knife
which he said he would use on Luscomb.
This is the latter's excuse for shooting
