In fact he spends most Of his time at q

he continued: There is q large

In boating. and there are several fast

cat boats and smaller boats about here.
1T has always seemed strange to me
that the subject OF forming a club has
never been bfosched or course. such a
club would not be exactly on the lines Of
the yacht club Of the large cities, but
one could be organized which would
furnish an immense amount Of solid en-
joyment aud clean sport.
Wilmington did have boat clubs at

LA PLATA, Md, April 27-Joseph
Cooking was charged ,ast night by the
coroner's jury with the murder OF his
wife aud sister -iu-laW. ct Hill Top, and
be was taken into custody by the county
authorities The inquest developed no
motive for the crimes This morning he
was taken TO Baltimore by detectives
from that city to protect him from
violence as the jail here could be easily
battered down by a mob.
The indignation Of the people continues
and it was feared an attempt might be
made 10 take him from the authorities
last night.
Investigation has settled beyond a
doubt that robbery was not the motive
for tho mysterious double crime Moth
ing was taken from the house, though
the murderer had ample opportunity TO
secure considerable money aud valusbles.
Cooking apparently takes go interest
IN the horrible sffalr other than the
Injuries he personally claims to have
suffered at the hands OF the murderer.
be does not show any desire TO assist In
the solution Of the mystery.
Just before the funeral Detective
Gault asked the stolld. Indifferent man
if he did not want to take q last look at
his wife and sister in law He com
plained that he was suffering 10 much
pain 20 go upstairs. The detective,
however, insisted and helped him mp
the stairs and into the room where the
two collins were Ho drew the clothes
from the mutilRted faces Of the dead
women Cooking looked at them, but
betrayed not the slightest sign OF grief
or any other emotion.
The funeral over. the attendants re-
turned TO the Cooking homestead. De-
tsctlve GRult put Cooking through the
sweating process but WAS unable to get
anyJhipg from him. The detective. how
ever, found under Cocking's pillow pair
OF pantaloons that It Is alleged he had
worn on the night of the murder They
were soaked with blood and were ex-
hibited to the jury of inquest which
States Attorney Posey summoned later
In ths evening The blood soaked shirt
was also shown, GRult telling the Jury
that It was impossible for all this blood
to come from bleeding nose Tie jury
then found a verdict charging the crime
upon C1cklng. who was taken for the
night TO Captain Smoot's Hotel.
