MISS DEKALB'S STRANGE CALLER.
Visitor Departs Without Seeing the
ssWOmnn ~ RinCk.''

Norristuwn, Pa, Dec. l6.-Yesterday
afternoon a strange woman lowered
around the entrance to the Jail and as
she passed slowly up and down the
sidewalk in the rain she paused now
and then as though desirous to enter
the structure.
Finally she asked a pedestrian if he
thought the keeper would allow her to
enter the prison. .
who did YOU wish to See?' boldly
asked the man. Lizzie DeKalb, was
her falterng reply. II knew her once"
The woman was advised to see the
district attorney, but disappeared with
out making any further effort to reach
the cell of "the woman in black"
James A. Clemmer. the other suspect
ed accomplice in the Kaiser murder,
was visited this morning by his father
and a woman supposed to be the
younger Clemmer's wife. Clemmer and
the woman had fearful conference,
during which the prisoners father gave
way to weeping. The elder Clemmer
says that, while the accused man has
been wayward, he does not believe him
guilty of the charge against him.
Clemmer and Miss DeKalb will have
further hearing next Tuesday, when,
it is expected. Edward f. Kane will
appear as counsel for the former.

JOHN MORGAN HANGED.
story Of the Terrible crime of Which
lie WINS Convicted.


Ripley, w. Va, Dec 16-John Nor
gan was hanged here this afternoon.
The drop fell without any unusual in
cidents, except that Morgan broke down
curing the forenoon and spent the time
crying. He recovered so as to 60 on
the scaffold with composure.
The triple crime for which John Nor
gan was hanged was without pppar-
ont motive.
Mrs. Edward Greene. widow, aged
20, her two daughters by her first hus-
band, Alice and Matilda Pfost and her
son, James Greene, aged 20, lived II
short distance from Ripley. An init
mate friend was John Morgan, whom
Mrs. Greene had taken in as an orphan
boy and given a home. About three
years ago he married, and lived apart
from his benefactors. He was on
friendly terms with them, however
and on Wednesday evening, Nov. A.,
called at the house. and was invited to
remain. About o'clock the next
morning Greene went out to feed the
stock, accompanied by Morgan, who
soon returned to the house alone
While the young women were busy
with the breakfast preparations, Mr..
Morgan suddenly picked up a hatchet
and assaulted Matilda Pfost, striking
her twice on the head. Morgan then
turned upon Alice Pfost and felled her
with the hatchet. Alice fled in a half
conscious condition, and gave the
alarm In the meantime. Morgan
forced his wav into the room Of old
Mrs. Greene, and after "A desperate
struggle on her part, slashed her to
pieces with a hatchet James Greene's
mutilated body was found near the
corn crib. Morgan was shortly after
ward captured in the woods. The fol-
lowing day he was indicted, arraigneG
for trial, and confessed.

JAPANS PROTEST.

San Francisco, Dec. 16.-Advices from
Japan say the cabinet found that the
absolute protest against Hawaiian an
neXation was Of no avail, and it con-
cluded that it would be advisable to
yield a point, and while not objecting
to annexation itself to make an effort
to insure the protection Of japanese
interests. The United States govern
ment will be asked TO guarantee that
the annexation of Hawaii shall not in
terfere with the advantage hereto pos
sessed by Japan in the island.
This will constitute the scope OF
Japans policy even should congress
approve of annexation.

a chance TO escape by hosting a white
