Walter y. Martin. Connected With Bach-

Waiter y. Martin. Connected With Bach
elder Murder Case, Found Dead.
Portland, Me-, Jan. 4.--Walter s. Mar
tin, 35 years old. OF North Sebago, the
principal witness for the state In the
Bachelor case, committed suicide by
harging in his brother-in-law's barn
In that town yesterday.
Martins body was discovered by his
S-year-old daughter suspended by the
neck from a beam In the hay NOW at
about f:30 o'clock. Martin has been In
Portland two days as a witness before
the coroner's Jury, which was investi-
eating the cause of Mark Bachelors
death. Bachelder was found in dying
condition by the side OF the road short
distance from Martins house week
ago with ugly wounds on his head. In
ficted by some blunt instrument. Mar
tin ard his brother-in-law, Henry
Flint, testified before the coroner's jury
that Bachelor had got into row with
q young man named Leslie "A. Kenison
at Martins house, and that Kenison
had struck Bachelor with sled stake,
inflicting wounds on the head. Bach
elder, who was considerably intoxi-
Gated, was helped into his sleigh by
Martin and Flint and started toward
home. The next morning Bachelor
was found beside the road and died
shortly after he was discovered without
regaining consciousness.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
on Saturday to the effect that Bachel-
der's death was due 10 exposure and
loss of blood, and accused Leslie A.
Kenison of assault on Bachelor with
intent 10 KILL Senison was arrested on
this charge and is now in Jail here.
After the coroner's inquest Martin drove
home to North Sebago with his brother
in-law, Flint, and Saturday night
stayed at Fint's house, where Mrs.
Martin had been during her husband s
absence i'm Portland.
Yesterday morning Martin kissed his
wife and children good bye and started
for his home, two miles distant. Half
an hour later his dead body was found
in the barn. u was clearly n case OF
suicide. III Is believed shat Martin did
not tell all he knew concerning Bach
elders death and the trouble at Mar
tins house. l<enisons case will be ma
terially affected by the suicide of Mar
tin, as his death deprives the state OF
its most important witness.

PRINCESS CHIMAY PROTESTS.


She Preferred Leaving Her Husband to
Being a Hypocrite.
Brussels, Jan. 4.-Writing to q Brus-
sells newspaper. the Princess of Cara
pan-Chimay. formerly Miss Clara Ward
OF Detroit, protests against the press
campaign of publicity and calumny in
connection with her elopement with the
Hungarian gypsy musician, Janesi
RIGGS. The princess says:
American children are educated with
q view to asserting their independence.
and, when necessary. braving the worlds
rrcjudices and calumnies. That, how
ever, does not preserve the American
girl from the possibility of falling into
error. I drifted with the fashion die
tating union between nobility and
wealth. Chicago heiresses are re-
rroacned with the pursuits of coronets.
Surely this is better than pursuing a
dot. Having recognized my error and
my heart having spoken, two courses
were open to me, namely, adultress,
hypocrisy or leaving the marital domi-
cile."
The princess then concludes: II chose
the after. fully recognizing to what
exposed myself. The divorce law was
not made for. nothing. and my position
will eventually be legalized, my mar
riage with RIGGS being only a question
OF time"
1t Is stated that their finances will
soon compel the Princess Of Chimay-
Caraman and the Gypsy RIGGS TO aban-
don their luxurious mode of living.
The princess has signed a contract TO
sing in a Buda- Pesth music hall. RIGGS

Little Doubt the Will of John B.
Ketcham Will Be Bitterly
Contested. -.
Hints Berg Thrown Out That
the Late Clubman Was Not
Of Sound Mind.
Autopsy Shows Death Resulted
From AlcohOlism---NO Trace
of Poison.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE post norton
examination held by DR.. E. T. Hall on
the body of John B. Ketcham, the
millionaire banker, who died Sunday
morning, repealed the fact that death
was due to Chronic alcoholism, no trace
of any poison being found.
Within a half dozen days the will of
the late clubman will be filed for pro-
bate, and it is intimated that the con-
test which this step will undoubtedly
produce may lead to one Of the hardest
legal battles ever waged in the courts,
though the stakes r not 80 high as
they have been in more notable cases.
The evidence adduced at the coroner's
inquest on the remains of Ketcham will
figure t. a great extent in determining
the final disposition of the pro-
party of the decedent. George Ketcham
evinced great disinclination in his evil
dence to admit that the dead man had
a lawful wife living at the time of
death. He limited that his brother had
shown some weakness of mind and
upon this latter point it is probable that
the greatest fight will be waged upon
the will when the latter document is
produced. Efforts will be made to
show, so it is stated, that Ketcham was
unduly influenced at the time Of draw
ing his will two weeks ago, by the
terms of which his whole property was
given to Mrs. Ketcham, or Wallace.

ON A FALSE HUNT.

Omc:als Suspicious That Mrs. Nack's Con.
fession Was Not True.
New YORK, Nov. l7.-While it is
settled that the trial Of Martin Thorn
for the murder Of Guldensuppe will go
on next Monday, District Attorney
Youngs of Queens county, and his
assistants are disturbed somewhat by
an apparent fault in the latest confess
sion of Mrs. Mack. She declared that
the saw found in her room was not the
one used in cutting up Guldensuppe's
body, and she said the implement used
had been buried in a place near College
Hill, between Flushing and College
Point. District Attorney Youngs had
the woman taken on Sunday to point
the place where the saw was buried
but, although she pointed out several
places, the saw has not been found,
and the officers have come to the con.
clusion that she led them on a false
hunt.
William F. Howe, counsel for Thorn,
said that he thought the case for Thorn
looked much better than it did last
week. ''Thorn will go on the stand
said MI. Howe, whether Mrs. Mack
tells her story again or not, and he will
tell the whole truth about the killing
of Guldensuppe."

COUDOT WAS INNOCENT.

Chief Justice COrliss of North Dakota
Says He Possesses the Proof.
GRAND FORKS, n. D., Nov. 17.-"The
mob who lynched the Indians at Will.
Transport hung an innocent man, and l
have ample documentary evidence Of
that fact" Such were the words of
Chief Justice Corliss. In an interview
the chief justice continued substan.
tally as follows: "Coudot, in whose
case a new trial was recently ordered
by the state supreme court, was con
victed on the unsupported evidence of
two others, who were confessed MUIR
derers, and in the face of the strongest
kind of an alibi by DR.. Ross, agency
physician of Standing Rock, whose
positive statement that Coudot was at
home and acted as interpreter for him
at the very time of the murder, is sus.
tanned by the doctors memorandum
book, in which a note was made at the
time of his visit. The
Doctors veracity Is Unquestioned.
A further fact is that the two self.con.
fessed murderers above referred to,
Phillip Ireland and Paul Holy Track,
had made two pre- vious confessions, in
neither of which did they implicate
Coudot. The lynching of the two con.
fessed murderers may not be SO repre-.
hensible, but there is no question what
ever but they would have hung fol
their crime had the law been allowed
to take it's course. But the lynching OF
Coudot was as foul a murder, as unjus.
tifable and as hideous as the murder Of
the Spicer family. Coudot was only q
halt. breed, but the murder is no less q
crime on that account, and the lynch
| ing is a most deplorable outcome"

that the next campaign will be a very
c'ose fight and one of the questions up
OF which the legislature viii be elected
is resubmission of the capital question.
The Huronite has always contended that
the question would sooner or later he
rssubmittad. The peopl. demand it and
the next legislature will not dare ignore
the peoples wishes.
