Wanted to Have Fun With
the Detectives.
The Tables Turned and They
Are Now in Jail.
Stolen Door Plates In Their Rooms
Brought Them to Grief

Two young men, George W. Richards
and George s. Jarrus, students at Brown
University, thought 1t would be q bril-
liant idea to monkey with the detective
department of Providence. They thero-
fore called upon Mr.. Parker and told him
that their room In the dormitory at the
college had been entered and number OF
vsluab BILE articles stolen. Mr.. Parker as
signed Detective Nickerson to the case.
Mr.. Nickerson mad hardly left the Office
before Mr.. Parker learned that the boys
were playinga joke on the department.
A man was sent out 10 Ind Mr.. Nicker-
son and inform him of the fact, but the
detective reached the room before he was
overtaken. He questioned the young
men, who told straightforward story.
At the same time the detective cast his
eagle eye about the room, and.among the
peculiar ornaments he saw were mum Der
of ordinary everyday door plates. When
Mr.. Nickerson returned to the Office and
was told the story, he was angry, but be
said nothing about seeing the door
plates. He then looked over the
Ou IStOko ho
saw that Charles Muir, 145 Transit street,
James McAndrews, 1l0 Hope street and
q. ID. Lidell, las Trsnsit.street, had re-
ported that door plates had been stolen
from the front of their residences. This
made Detective Nickerson grin, for he
Immediately swore out three warrants
against Richards and James and this
morning had the two students before
Judge Sweetland in the Sixth District
Court on the charge Of stealing the door
plates. This was the first intimation the
young men had as TO the cause OF their
arrest. They were SO discounted that
they plea led guilty to the charges and
were fined IS and costs on each, amount
ing to S22. so each. Not having so much
money Inc their possession they were
taken to jail, and it is supposed that
some Of their relatives will come to their
rescue.
Richards comes from Putnam, Conn.,,
and James from Kingston, this state.

As stated in THE NEWS yesterday, the
delegation from Wards Five and Seven
TO the Republic city convention tomor-
row.are desirous of supporting Hon.
Charles Sydney Smith, and it was their
intention TO do so as long as there was
any chance and then split up for Colonel
Spooner and Mr.. Covell, according to
individual preferences, but today Ex-
Mayor Smith positively declines to have
his name used in the convention. He
does not desire the nomination himself,
sut he is very desirous of having a
straight Republican victory at the muni-
ciral election ard says that he does not
approve of tangling up the convention
With too many names.
At his sprague street Office today ex-
Mayor Smith gave to a NEWS reporter the
following formal statement:
Ex-MAYoR SMITHS STATEMENT.
"To the many friends aud fellow citi-
gems who have kindly named me as a

ing so honorably mentioned, ] am not a
caud idate for the Office and must respec-
lively decline to allow the use of my
name in such connection.
CHARLES SYDNEY SMITH.

many kino things for me in the past"
Colonel Spooner had no estimate to give
as to how the delegates would stand in
the secret caucus which is TO be neld at
noon.
The fir lends of Mr.. Covell are confident
that he will be the choice of the conven-
tion, but soy that 1t is 10 be very close

AN EYE ON HUBBY.
An Unusual Side Show at the West
minister Theaier.


minister Theater.
There was a double attraction at the
Westminster Theater last evening, and
Ii was a question whether the stage show
or the private box exhibition had the
most attention.
Yesterday afternoon young woman
appeared at the box Office and wanted six
seats, If she and her five female compan-
ous could get into the thetare without
being seen.
The man in the box Office wanted to
know the reason for the unusual transac-
ton, and it was given:
"You sec," said the young woman, "we
went to see the show, because our hus-
bands are TO be in the theater. We asked
TO be taken, too, but we were put of
with rather thin excuses, aud now we
want 10 know what for, see."
The box-office man twigged and sold
the seats. AT the appointed time an at
tache OF the thester lot the six young
women IN by the little side door. They
were heavily voiled when they took seats
in the private box. The several has stands
i'm the parquet, with the rest OF the male
audience bestowed considerable attention
on the veiIed beauties, and finally the
whole audience became interested.
IL was readily understood that the
side show meant something important,
and the stage artists suffered somewhat
from the counter attraction. The veiied
ladies kept their eyes on chubby all the
while, aud chubby reciprocsied.
Signs we're made, and the audience, In
the vernacular of the street, caught on.
After the show about 100 persons went
to tfxs side door to see what was up, and
the husbands were in the crowd. The
wells were raised and there was q chorus
OF

Bray, aged 80. prosperous farmer and
very. religious man, cut the throsts of mis-
wife, his 9-year-old son Carl, his 2-year-
ola daughte Edna and himself.
The crimes were committed between
midnight and dxsfight this morning,

children died without q struggle, but
Bray, with a.-gaping wound in his throat
two inches deep and six ir.ches in length,
lived until noon today, without regain
ing consciousness. The work was done
with a razor. Bray procured a large hand
axe and crushed the skulls.o his victims,
after he had used the razor upon them.
The murderer walked upon the porch
and..slashed his own throat in horrible
manner, and was found lying in poo
of blood at o'clock this morning.
Owing to sickness in his family for the
past few months, and some financial en-
barassment, Brny's reason was affected.

Edna. Shortly after . O'Clock she was
awakened by Bray walking into her
room in his stocking feet. he went to

while the hoy was asleep. Bray went into
the room where his invalid wife lay,
stepped to the bedside and slashed her
neck, and seeing that the cut was to low
he made q second and successful effort to
kill ner. The crimes are the bloodiest
