THE POLICE INvEsTIG ALTON.

Examination of the Chamber Where
the Crime Was Committed.
Police Sergt. Jordan, OF the Third pre-
cinct, and Policeman Hayes, OF the Sixth,
arrived at Seat Pleasant about II O'Clock
this forenoon, and interrogated the wit
nesses who testified at the coroner's in-
quest.
sergt. Jordan and Policeman Hayes also
inspected the death chamber and looked
upon the blood-covered form OF Marguerite
lying on au undertaker's stand in the room
next to the one In which she was SO
foully murdered.
Marguerite's bed chamber is in the north
wing OF the villa. IL is pleasantly situated
and overlooks rolling lawns, beautiful for
ests. with the white Capitol dome and the
spires Of Washington in the distance, like
beautiful panorama.
The bed and coverings had not been dis
turbed. When the white throat of Mar
guerite was gashed by the fiend she was
lying on the floor, just north OF the bed
stead, her feet protruding about two feet.
The place on the carpet where her head
lay is marked by q great spot Of blood
about two feet square.
There are several pictures on the wall,
Including group OF happy school chill
dren with smiling faces. In the midst of the
group is the face of Marguerite, then girl
of thirteen. Her curly hair Is tumbled in
@areless profusioD and her bright childish
face is as happy and smiling as her school
mates, who appear to cluster about her as
q central figure,
On her bureau is book she had been
reading in the hammock yesterday after
noon. It's title is "a Lesson on peport-
ment." This work was her favorite study
Her trinkets were strewn in careless
profusion on the dressing case near the
Testament, which was present from her
dead mother.
Marguerite's right name was Alexander.
She was native of Ansonia, Conn. She
was twenty-five years of age last Monday.
There was a striking resemblance between
Marguerite, as she lay on the undertaker's
stand, and poor Elsie Kreglo. AS Dr. Miller,
the intimate family friend, remarked today:
Poor Marguerite and Elsie, they met
| the sa me sad fate"
Marguerite always addressed Mrs. Drown,
her foster mother, as '.Auntie." Before
Mrs. Drown and DR.. Miller started to drive
to the city yesterday afternoon, Dr. Miller,
who knew there would be no one in the
| house but the colored cook, Lucy and the
two colored men, one OF whom was Smith,
TUNED to Marguerite and sGid
"Miss Marguerite won't you be afraid to
stay here alone and unprotected
Turning to him with a smile, she replied
mo, doctor, not a all; who In the world
would harm me?''
She little dreamed of the awful ordeal
she was destined TO pass through few
hours later.
Policeman Hayes, OF No. 6, was not at
Seat Pleasant very long today before he
began questioning the employees OF the place.
III short while, with detective skill,
Hayes made the col0red Butler give up the
knife which nearly severed the head Of
the unfortunate young woman. It is an or
binary case knife, with black handle,
About an inch Of the blade is broken off,

The news that Smith had been captured
and was at police headquarters spread
rapidly and in a few minutes large crowd
had congregated in front OF the District
Building

scriptton of the prisoner and had heard his
confession, lie was quietly escorted from

Policeman stearns held tight grip on
Smiths right wrist with his nippers. The
wagon load OF police and the colored pris-
oner attracted great attention in going
from headquarters to the gallery

the prisoner was the murderer. folio wed,

necessary for the police to use their sticks
In driving back the crowd.
Smith was taken from the wagon by Po-
liceInen Stearns and Nebb. He was Der.
fecuy calm and faced the crowd without he
slightest hesitation. When placed In q
chair to be photographed for the rogues'
gallery be sat still and obeyed the pho
tographer's Instructions
While Smith was In the gallery the crowd
on the outside increased, aud when he
was brought down stairs there Were at
least 900 people around the entrance of
the establishment 1t was an angry crowd,
and as the murderer passed to the patrol
wagon a number OF men and boys spit on
him and called him all kinds Of uames
You villainl You ought to be lynchedl'
cried one Of the number.
That's the black scoundrel who mur-
dred the GIRL" shouted another
Scores OF such cries and Kisses were
uttered by those who stood near.
Smith was unusually cool and smiled gar
castically at the crowd. The police hustled
their prisoner into the wagon and he was
driven to No. 8 station. followed by scores
of cyclists, who continued their shouts
and Kisses on the way.
At the station Smith was placed in cell
and is now guarded by the whole reserve
Of the precinct. Trouble is feared.

The strike of brickiayers on the new
union depot Of the street railways at the
end OF the Aqueduct Bridge, Georgetown,
and on the new Eostoffice was settled,
temporarily at least, at noon today by an
agreement to arbitrate the differences be.
tween Mr.. Arthur CowsiIl, contractor ON
the depot brick work, and three OF the
brickiayers employed by him.
The committee was appointed to hear
the facts in the case and decide what is
fair to both sides, and pending their de-
cision the union men were allowed to
return to work at 1890 p. m. This they
did, and building ON the two structures
has been in full progress this afternoon
A number OF non-union men were good
deal disa ppointed by this turn OF affairs
The account Of the differences between
Mr.. Cowsill and his men was published
by The Morning Times today exclusively,
and II was stated that a conference be-
tween Mr.. Cowsill and President William
McGhan, OF the Brickla ycrs' Union, would
be held this morning.
CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. -
The trouble arose because Mr.. Cowsill
had been obliged To rebuild a piece or wall
that was put up out OF plumb.
This cost him $2l.25, and when pay day
came around he deducted the amount from
the wages of three eebricklayersagainstw whom
he charged the bad work. He claimed that
the men were warned that they must lay
brick so the work need not be done a sec
ond time, otherwise they must be the losers
on the other hand, the men say that it
was Mr.. CowsilPs bushes to see that the
work was not out OF plumb. II he allowed
the wall to go up out OF plumb, IL was his
fault, not theirs. Els business was to
see that it was in plumb.
hn shsA. q
mara, James Collins, and Edward Cox
They refused to accept the wages ten
dered them last Saturday as soon as they
noticed the amount had been taken out
OF their envelopes.
The matter was referred to the Brick
layers Union. and the union brickIayers
were called off Mr.. Cowsill's work at the
depot and at the postoffice.
SETTLING THE MATTER.
President McGlian met Mr.. Cowsill this
morning, and after a conference it was de-
cided that the question should be submitted
to Mr.. McGban, Postmaster william Hutch
ins, OF Georgetown, and Mr.. Steinnetz. who
is the representative OF Mr.. John Pierce
who has the granite contract on the post
office. TAte
These gentlemen met at 1:3O p. NJ. and
began discussion OF the question before
them The facts were. all fully presented
A dozen men who had come in answer
to calls by Mr.. Cowsill for bricklayers
were sitting on the walk uear the depot
at noon complaining that they had been
deceived by promise of work. One of
their number had come from Baltimore
They felt very bitterly the stroke or mis-
fortune and We're disposed to denounce
Mr. Cowsill. .
The action taken will very probably lead
to final adjustment satisfactory to all,
and the more general strike OF bricklayers
which was possibility this morning is
ayerted.

HISTORY OF SMITH.

Formerly Pullman POrter-Has q
Family In Ohio.
James Smith. the murderer, was born In
Virginia. He is about twenty eight years
OF age.
He was raised by Mrs. Eversole, who re-
sides at No. $40 East Capitol street
He was stranger In the neighborhood
OF Seat Pleasant. and had wandered about
the neighborhood, and been regarded with
suspicion by the people of the vicinity.
He was half educated and very polite
and suave. Not the man that would ever
be picked out as a criminal. His very
politeDess. however, made him an object
OF suspicion among the honest country
folk about Seat Pleasant.
An old gentleman called at police head
quarters, after Smith had been taken away,
and said that he knew the prisoner, who
had been in the Drown family for num-
Der Of years. He also stated that Smith
has wife living somewhere in Ohio. Some
years ago he was porter on a Pullman
car and had travelled extensively

will then be turned over to the Maryland
officials, and conveyed probably to Marl-

danger Of iynching appears to bcgreathe
may be sent to Baltimore for safe keeping.
Strange to say. Smith showed no fear OF
mob violence. The probability that he
might be swung from the limb OF q tree
did not disturb him at all.
