A TRIPLE MURDERER.
Arrest of Arthur Palmer Of Mama
roneck, N. T., at st. Louis,
HE HAS THREE LIVES TO ANSWER FOR,
On Monday, January Is, He Shot and
Killed His Mother, Sister and Broth
er at Their Dairy Farm in
Weslchester, N, Y.

ST LOUIS, Jan, 2S.-Arthur Palmer,
Of Mamaronecli, n. y, who murdered
his mother, brother aud sister at that
point on Monday, January is, was
arrested at the Planters hotel Wednes-
day afternoon by Police Captain O NAL
ley and Detective Cooking. Palmer
was known to the hotel people as Paul
Jones, under which name he had been
registered at the hotel since Wednes-
day, January 90,
The arrest was made in response to
a long-distance telephone message re-
ceived from Sheriff Johnson of West
chester county, in which county the
triple murder was committed. The
sheriff said that he had received in
! formation from a man in New York
City, who had received a letter from
| Palmer, to the effect that Palmer was
stopping at the Planters hotel under
the name of Paul Jones, and he asked
the st. Louis police to arrest and hold
| the latter.
The crime with which Palmer is
charged shocked the entire country by
its brutality and causelessness. Pal
mer lived with his mother, sister Ger
| trude and brother Leonard on a dairy
farm. lie was married and his selec-
tion OF wife seems to have caused
some estraugement between himself
and his family, and ultimately caused
the tragedy. O1 the evening of Jan
uary Is, while lie was seated in the
| house with his mother and sister he
! suddenly drew revolver, and, with
| out a word, commenced firing at his
sister. He shot her three times and
then turned the weapon on his mother,
putting two bullets into her.
Both women fell to the floor and the
murderer turned to run out of the
house As he left the house he met
| Leonard running towards it from the
barn, where he had heard the shoot
| ing. The murderer fred at Leonard,
! the ball striking him in the forehead,
killing him instantly. Then the triple
| murderer returned to the house, hasti-
| ly gathered together few articles of
| clothing and ran to the depot, a half
mile away, where he boarded passing
train and came direct to this city.
When the neighbors arrived at the
Palmer house, attracted by the shoot
| ing, they found the mother and sister
still breathing. Mrs. Palmer regained
consciousness long enough to make a
statement of the shooting, and than
expired. The daughter died a fsw
moments later
a search for the murderer was made,
but he had disappeared. 1t was said
that he had become suddenly insane,
having on a previous occasion been
confined in an insane asylum, from
which he had been discharged, appar-
entlY cured.

he could accept the honor, if it were
offered him, and he will be given to
understand that Maj Mckinley desires
him in his cabinet The president
elect said in speaking of the cabinet,
that though all of the positions had
not been filled. that the end was in
sight. 1t is understood upon excellent
authority that no one has yet been
offered the portfolio of agriculture.
The New York situation remains un-
changed, with Gen. Stewart l.. Wood
ford the only possibility within the
public view.
Gen. VIM. NJ. Osborne, of Boston,
secretary of the Repu ublican national
committee, said that the story sent
out from Cleveland to the effect that
1t had been determined by Maj Nc
Kinley and Mr. Hanna to discontinue
the political work of the national
committee and to practically close the
national headquarters in Washington
was without foundation. The matter
was not discussed and there is no in
tention whatsoever Of stopping the
work.
Organization and our campaign Of
education will go steadily forward
The idea of stopping it is absurd and
! know such thing was neither dis
cussed nor considered by the presi-
dent-elect and Mr. Hanna"
Col. J. II. Brigham, OF Ohio, the Of
fetal head of the national grange,
Will, in all probability, be appointed
assistant secretary of agriculture.
