covering Consciousness-Letter
of the Dead Woman

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4.-Afer sew.
enty-two hours work ON the murder o
Miss Nellie Harrington. In her own ha-
about noon Saturday, the police detect
ives admit that they are completely
batfed as to the motive for the deed OIL
the identity of the murderer.
The detectives are positive only upon
one point-th that the person with whom
Miss Harrington had an engagement be-
tween II and l last Saturday committed
the murder. and the brutal character of
the blows inflicted leads to the belief that
the murderer is man. The police have
taken possession of $50 private letters,
the contents of which are said to be SEN
Sational by some or the detectives.
Ex-senator l.. w. Buck, the murdered
woman's most intimate friend. died this
morning from injuries sustained by fall
from cart in which he was being driven
by policeman to the office of the chief
OF police for consultation. He was relied
edy. but did not regain consciousness.
With his death the detectives are at a loss
to secure clue or suggest motive for
the crime.
The story that Miss Harrington was
only partially clad when found is denied
ny the morgue oWclais, VINO say tnat the
wrapper she wore was party tori and
partly burned off. The inquest will be
held next Saturday.
The late Senator Buck was the father
of five cbildren. They are Frank II. and
Fred NJ. Buck, Emma and Gertie Buck
and Mrs. John Cory. The children say
that Miss Harrington had been an inti-
mate friend of the family for years. Ex
Senator Bucks movements have been
fully accounted or from the time he left
the Mary ysville train at II Is Saturday
morning until he was injured at 7:30
O'Clock that evening by being thrown

For some months Valentine Wissman

frequent quarrels with her because of his
jealousy of one Erwin. Last night he
went into the room where his wife was
and told her he was going to kill her.
He snatched her baby from her arms and
dashed it to the floor. Then he got q
razor. Ills wife ran out of the house, but
was stopped by a high picket fence and
he caught her. lie cut her throat three
times, slashed her several times in the
face and then began hacking at her
bosom. lie cut one of her breasts off
and then tried to cut off hand. lie cut
the leaders and severed the artery. In
all he cut her in l2l places. Neighbors
frightened him away and carried the
woman in doors and called surgeons who
finally stopped the flow of blood from her
wounds. Wissman was captured this
morning. lie was discovered on fence
stark naked except as to his shirt, which
he had tied around his neck and to it he
had piece of wire that was fast ened to
the limb OF tree. He was in the act of
jumping from the fence when taken. The

TWO CONVENTIONS
Republicans Will Meet in Kentucky and
Democrats in Illinois

LOUISVILLE, June 1.-The Republican
state convention meets here at 10 a. m.
tomorrow. During the present genera
tion the Republicans have been in such
minority In this state that their conven-
tions have attracted little attention. Last
November the vote by congressional dis
tricts showed a decisive Reubplican ma
jorlty in the state, and If there had been
a Republican ticket in the field it would
have been elected. the Republicans feel
that the same conditions exist this year
and say that they are now convening as
the majority party for the first time since
the civil war.
SPRINGFIELD, H., June 4.-The Dem
ocratic state,convention called by the state
central committee to adopt q policy for
the party in hIllinois supon the money
question, will convene at noon tomorrow
There is every indication tonight that
every county in the state will be repre-
sented by its full quota OF delegates. The
sentiment among the delegates in favor
of free silver seems to be So nearly unani-
nous tnat there is little prospect of even
a show of fighting. The movement in the
direction of a national money convention
seems to be gaining force every hour.

i Miss Marguerite Berth, violinist and
leader of the Berth Family orchestra,
which plays nightly at the Palace music
hall, was not only a musicians of ability
but was charming physically. About a
/ month ago she was missed from her
position by the habitues of the place, and
| no one of them was greatly surprised
upon being told in explanation that she
had married Leo Scheben, the western
travelling representative of the Lemp
Brewing company, OF st. Louis,
for the two were frequently seen to-
gether when the lady was off duty
and, i'll brief, their manner in each 9TH
er's society was that of an engaged
couple. Nothing has been definitely
known as to the movements Of eli ther
Miss Berth CIR Leo Scheben since the
formers unceremon;ous exit from life in
the Palacessome weeks ago.
1t is rumored that they are married,
but II this were SO why does not Mar
guerite at least write her father and SIS
Ter, who are anxious as to her fate?
1t is lately alleged that the man Sche
ben is married ana that he has an inter-
estlng family in st. Louis. If this is so,
and il he has not deceived the girl into a
olgamous marriage. but simply deceived
Her lHto running away with him. prom
ising marriage which he never intended
to fuiilll, then the girl persistent silence
IN way is explained. These are the
facts and these the speculations and fears
that are agitatlng the breast of u doting
and proud father and loving sister and
brother, who continue day after day to
await tidings, and who day aitei day con
tinue to hope for the best, and that the
best is well.
IL has been learned that Scheben and
Marguerite became acqus lated years ago
up north, and that he wanted to marry
the girl at that time. but on account of
her extreme youth this was forbidden.
