HOW CHRISTOPHER MERRY CRUEL

ChicagO's Latest Mystery Solved by
the Confession of Thomas Hick-

CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-The mystery sur
rounding the disappearance of Mrs. Pauline
Merry from her home at No. so Hope street
was solved this afternoon by the confess
sion of Thomas Hickey. who was arrested
on suspicion. Hickey told a revolving story
of how Christopher Merry choked and beat
his wife q week ago last Friday. Then,
finding it impossible to restore his wife to
consciousness, Hickey says that Merry de-
cided to put hen "out Of her misery by
beating out her brains with a poker. The
horrible story told by Hickey was extorted
from him after hours of questioning in the
sweat box" Late this afternoon he led
a party OF police to an uninhabited portion
of the city near Eighty-seventh street and
Western avenue where Mrs. Merry's body
was found buried beneath a few inches of
loose dirt by the roadside .
The disappearance of Mrs Merry excited
almost as much interest as that of Mrs
Luetgert. A week ago the police learned
that she had been made away with by her
husband at his cottage in Hope street
Merry was a peddler and owned several
horses. When the police began their in
vestigation a three-year-old son of Merry's

mother and had lowered her body through

clew it was found that Merry had driven
away from his place Saturday morning
with covered wagon, but no further trace
Of him had been discovered Thomas
Hickey, an employee of the stable where
Merry Kept his horses, was put in the

BUTCHERED in AFRICA
FATE or WAsHINGTONIANS IN THE
CONGO FREE STATE.
Body of One Man Sliced and Eaten by
Dwarfs and the Heart of Another
Cut Out and Burned.

WASHINGTON, Nov ga startling
and horrible story of the killing of two
Washingtonians and the mutilation of their
bodies by the natives of the Congo Free
State has just been received here in let
ter to Mr.. Leo Harmon, of No. 1928 Ninth
street N. w. The men were members of a
party who, during November and Deem
Der, 1894 and January, 1895, went from this
city to enlist in the Belgian army for serv-
ice in the Congo State. Those enlisting in
cluded Edward Thornton, commissioned
officer of the National FencibleS, employed
in the War Department; Lindsay G. Burke,
Frank Bachelor, Harry r. Andrews Barry
Sparlin and a Mr. Mellin or Mellen, who
was at one time noncommissioned officer
of the United States army. All except
Thornton and Melln were members of the
National Guard of the District.
The information received by Mr. Har-
mon is that Burke and a party of fifty
natives who We're sent out to dislodge a
band of dwarfs who had revolted were
ambushed and killed. An Arab who was
with the command, but who was some dis
lance off at the time of the ambuscade,
states that ne knows Burke was dead be-
fore the natives reached him, and that the
most hidcous looking little man he ever saw
walked up and cut Burke's head off with
one blow of knife The chief then began
to slice pieces off his legs and arms and to
distribute them among his followers. There
were so many of the tiends that the pieces
were very small. and before they had con-
Guided there was a free fight to see who
could get the little remaining. In some
manner the dwarfs became alarmed and
left the place, one fellow carrying off
Burke's arm. The Arab saw the cause of
their alarm, as Windeey, a New Yorker,
who had command of another detachment
Of soldiers sent out on the same Grand
arrived a few hours after the natives left
Windeey gathered up the remains of Burke
and buried them. When Windeey learned
the strength of the rebels he hurried back
to Michau and notified the commandant of
the post.
The other Washingtonan who lost his life
was killed on March /, when the troops un-
der the command Of Baron Dhanis revolted
near Kabanbarre and assassinated num-
Der of officers of their regiment among
them being Melin. The body of Melln was
butchered almost beyond recognition, his
heart having been cut out and burned so
that his courage could not again be used
against the rebels by the whites. 1t is their
belief that unless the heart Is burned and
the ashes scattered to the four winds the
spirit of the man descends to his brethren.
Thornton is said to be in a very precarious
situation at Basakara, but relief expedi-
ton has been sent to his rescue. Gage, an

fact, because when asleep he had a pc
