LONDON. August 6.-The members Of the
house of lords showed great interest today
In the committee stage of the Irish land
bill. There was a larger muster of peers
present than was the case In any measure
since the home rule bill. In fact some OF
the lords had been SO long absent from
the house that their faces were not familiar
to the doorkeepers. and several identifca-
tons were rendered necessary. The public
and press galleries were packed with peo-
pie.
In addition. there was a good attendance
OF peeresses, among the ladies being pres
ent the Countess Of Dudley. the Countess
of Mayo. Lady Wolverton. the Countess of
Selborne. Countess Cowper and Mrs. Joseph
Chamberlain
The forces Of the peers were very un-
equal. There was less than a score Of op-
posing lords. while the Marquis of Sails
bury had a hundred unionist peers behind
him.
Mr.. Gerald Balfour. chief secretary for
Ireland; Mr.. George N. Curzon parliament
tary secretary to the foreign Off &c Sir Will

WANTS HER BABY BOY.
Mrs. Matte FOerstch Prays the Courts
to Help Her.

To regain possession of her little child. a
boy of two years of age, Mrs. Matte G.
Foertsch this afternoon filed a petition for
a writ Of habeas corpus against her hus-
band Charles Foertsch. who is said to be
employed in the bureau of engraving and
printing.
In her petition Mrs. Foertsch alleges tnat
on account of the habitual drunkenness and
gross and intolerable cruelty of her hIs-
band she was recently compelled to leave
him and take her two children, one a girl
of three and boy of two years, to her
mothers residence, 12:s6 AZ street. Yester-
day. she further charges. her husband en-
ticed and took away from her custody and
care the little boy.
The child. she explains. is still nursing,
and his father, she complains, refuses to
allow her to see the child or have access
to it.
Therefore Mrs. Feertsch prays tina, her
husband be commanded to produce the
child in court. and that it then be estored
to her custody and care. Mrs. Foertsch's
counsel, Messrs- Obear & Douglass, pre-
sented the petition to Judge Cole. who di-
rected that the writ issue, comma nding the
child's father to produce 1t in court before
him at II O'Clock tomorrow morning.

THE COOKING MURDER.
Why the Man Who Was Lynched
Committed the Double Crime.

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
LA PLATA. Charles county. Nd. August
6.-The killing of Jim Irwin at Aliens Fresh
last week has renewed interest in the Cock
iEg tragedy, and some of the residents of
the County, vino were anxious to know Of
Cockings murder learned for the first
time the cause Of the double tragedy. Capt.
Smoct, who knows much Of the case as
does any other resident Of the county, re-
called the circumstances Of the affair. He
was one # the first to reach the Cooking
house from hare, and when he had learnt d
of the facts he reached the conclusion that
the Hill Top murderer was the guilty party.
Since the commission Of the crime and the
execution by lynchers of the merchant, it
has developed that the Englishman had a
good motive for the crime. About a year
before the double tragedy was committed
a colored man named Button" Neal dis
appeared and when inquiry was made
Cooking. in the presence Of his wife, said
he could find the body. Walking down to
Nanjemoy creek Cooking, with q rake in
his hand. said: Il can find the body" He
drew his rake through the water but the
body was not there. ITS here" he said
and second drawing Of the rake through
the water had the desired results. But
ton" Meals body came to the surface.
Joseph Cooking had killed the colored man
by throwing him in the creek and drowning
fim InlS was all known by the Hill Top
merchants wife, and it was for fear of
exposure OF this case that ne murdered his
ife and sister-in-law
Because Of their unpleasant domestic re-
lations. Cooking had i'll treated his wife
and on the 23d of April while abusing his
wife. she was heard to say, III you don't
let me alone Ill tell about Button Nears
murder"
They were in the room directly in rear Of
the store at that time. and Cooking threat
ened to Kill her. and pursued her to the
store. There were two ladies' there at the
time, and they heard what was said. as did
Miss Miller, his sister-in-law. 1t Is general
ly thought that Cooking had a weapon
probably hatchet, III his hand at that
time. and would have murdered his wife
had 1t not been that the two ladies' were in
the store. "
His wife's statement caused him moro
uneasiness than he could stand, and that
night he did the double killing When the
Vile had been killed. 1t was necessary to
end the life Of the sister-in-law, for she
knew almost is much of the occurrence as
Old the wife. and SO her life was also ended /,
When Cooking had been placed in iail
ard IT was the universal opinion that he
was guilty, his mother-in-law, Mrs. Miller
expressed her belief in his innocence he
cause OF the children. but when a change
OF venue was demanded and statements
derogatory to the character OF the dead Va a.
man were made to cause public sentiment
In st. Mary's to favor the prisoner. Mrs
Miller surrendered her opinion. and tho
lynching followed.
