STUDENT FOR ROBBERY.
Stacy Betzler Charged With Chloroform
ing Caterer Campbell.

Charlottesville. Va, Dec. 22.-Stacy
Betzler, the medical student, who was
charged with chloroforming and robbing
John M. Campbell, caterer for the stu
dents mess at the University of Virginia
on the 10Th instant, was this afternoon
before Justices Brown and Terrell. The
court house was crowded with students
and others.
The evidence was purely circumstan-
tial and not very strong. The witnesses
told about the same story as to the rob-
berry, as has been published. The only
evidence which raised suspicion against
Betzler was that of w. III. Hill, a stu
dent who rooms on the Lawn. He had
gone to supper at the mess at 6:15
o'clock, but as it was not ready he
knocked at the doors OF several Of The
students rooms. He found Mr.. Temple
man il, and cOnversed with him a while.
Templeman then went to Betzler's room,
but it was unoccupied. Mr.. Hill went
toward the dining hall, and passed Mr..
BetZler coming from the back of Carr's
Hill. He was in his shirt sleeves, walk
ing briskly, and seemed excited. A few
minutes later witness saw him at the
mess table. All this occurred a little
after y clo~-.
The assault upon Mr.. Campbell was
made about $40 o'clock, and he was
lying in his room unconscious when wit
ness was at supper from the inhalation
OF chloroform. The hour of the assault
was fixed by the fact that Mr.. Camp
bell heard the $40 train pass while he
was struggling with his assailant.
Mr.. Haze, law student, testified
that he and Mr.. Betzler left the univer-
sity at about $50 O'clock ON their way to
the city. They arrived at the Main
street crossing of the G. and O. Rail-
road, just as the $40 train passed. Bet
zler testified to the same facts, except
that he did not remember seeing the
train. They returned from the city in
company to Betzler's room where they
remained until the supper bell rang,
which was only few minutes after they
arrived.
After brief deliberation the justices
dismissed the case

CAPT. BRAINARD'S EXPEDITION
Confers With Secretary Alger as to. Car
rying Relief to Yukon.

y L.
WashingtonaD. G., Dec. 22-Captain
Brainard of the Subsistence Department
of the army, arrived in Washington this
morning, and although Secretary Alger
is confined to his home by a severe cold,
he sent Immediately for the officer and
had a conference with him respecting
the execution of his plans for the relief
of the miners in the Yukon country.
Nothing has been heard from Mr..
Kjellmann, the reindeer herder now in
Layland, in answer to the direction of
Secretary Alger respecting the selection
of 600 reindeer for transportation to
Alaska, so DR.. Jackson has been made a
special agent of the War Department
and ordered to proceed with all diligence
to Lapland to buy the animals and ar
range for their shipment to the United
States.
The announcement that the War De-
partment is by no meaons committed
to any one route in the effort to reach
the miners in the Klondyke country, has
caused persons interested in various
routes to advertise the claims of their
respective sections. The Spokane Cham
Der of Commerce has sent here Frederic
K. Marvin, an energetic newspaper man
OF that town, as its representative to
urge the superior facilities of the over
land route northward from Spokane.
This Is the old telegraph route. laid
down by the agents of the Western Un-
ion Telegraph Company years ago when
they sought to run telegraph line to
Bering Strait. Mr.. Marvin has stated
to the War Department that the route
is still clear, that through the dense
northern forests there is trail $50
feet broad affording easy passage for
draft animals, and that the feasibility
of the route in winter is shown by the
fact that for many years it has been
trayersed by numerous trappers and
prospectors, while the absence of heavy
grades insures the capacity of animals
to carry large loads. Secretary Alger is
asked to delegate some of the army Off
GERS near Spokane to report upon the
advantage of the route.
