Surrounding the Death Of Mrs. Nellie
]. Horne May Be Cleared Up.

Hot Springs, Ark, December IA
Gradually the mystery surrounding the
disappearance from this city several
weeks ago of Mrs. Nellie ]. Horne, a
beautiful young woman who was visit
ing this health resort and who the au-
thorities believe was murdered by
young Hardy Sheffield, and robbed of
her money, is being cleared up and by
tonight Sheriff Williams hopes to
have evidence to prove that one of the
most heartless crimes ever committed
in this vicinity was that by which Mrs
Horne lost her life.
Hardy Sheffield is in Jail charged
with murder. The sheriff returned to
the city to-day from the home of Shelf
fields brother, in Hot Springs county,
where it was reported the body of Mrs
Horne had been found He brought
with him a sack containing gruesome
evidence that human body had been
cremated piece by piece in Sheffield's
house. The sack contained human
bones, ashes and other articles recover
ed from the fire place in Sheffields
house. Experts are at work making a
scientific examination of these CHASTITY
relics and it is already established that
the bones are those of human being
Sheffields brother, in whose house the
crime is supposed to have been commit
ted, was brought to Hot Springs by
Sheriff Williams and placed in Jail, as
was also several others who are charg-
ed with being accessories to the crime.
Some startling developments are ex
pected.

Which Sent Leutgert Up for Life
May Be thu Death Of Captain
KnOch.

Chicago, December 1.-THE sesamiod
that sent Adolph Luis Luettgart to a
felon's cell for life has laid Captain
William Knoch on a bed of pain from
which he may never arise Luettgart
was made it's victim by the evidence
this tiny osseous particule constituted,
while Captain Knoch has been felled by
the virus that chung to its scaly sides.
The serious ailment that has kept
Captain Knoch confined to his bed at
his residence for several weeks is pro-
nounced by his physicians to be un-
doubted blood poisoning, and the source
OF it they conclude is clearly discover
able in the malignant little sesamoid.
When the first trial of Luettgart was
begun Captain Knoch was made GUS
todian of the exhibits in evidence for
the prosecution. Among these was the
sesamoid. This piece Of bone, no lon
ger than ones finger nail, is said to
have been found by the police in the
AhiOulO NdL III l<uCIt6d1I SduSoSC loC-
tory. This bone was regarded by the
States attorney as the convincing evil
dence that Mrs. Luettgart had been MUIR
dered, and that her body was dissolved
in the vat until it was a saponaceous
mass that was flooded away as sewage.
One day in July, after handling the
sesamoid, Captain Knoch rubbed his
hand to his bare breast, on account of
the heat and perspiration caused by
the torrid weather.
Not long after that event he felt i'll
and a physician pronounced his COM
plant to be sepsis. The cause of the
blood poisoning was inquired into at
the time and laid at the door of the
sesamoid. After an illness of six weeks
he recovered sufficiently to be about
Two weeks ago he was taken ill again,
and again his illness was pronounced
to be sepsis. The doctors say that it is
a recurrence of the old attack and due
to the same cause.

terprise and energy in the development of
the vast natural riches of his community,

ings, to his high sense of justice, to his
integrity in all the walks of life He has
at all times been devoted to the best in

I'VE intend" said she, "to visit In
dia, where l spent seven years of my
life in the study OF occultism. That
will be after the establishment of the
Order of the Crystal Sea. There we
will perfect ourselves for the forming
of an anthropostic battery, through
the fundamentally of which we pro-
pose to materialize the personality of
the Deity ITSELF"
In answer to the question Mrs. jack
son said that there was no doubt that
marriage was holy and honorable es-
tate. I'm preaching celibacy," she de-
clared, I'VE do not dispute this. What
we do say is that marriage, in the
modern acceptation of the term and of
matrimonial duty, is wrong. Gods in
tentions have been prostituted."
Mrs. Jackson, first Mrs. Massant, who
was widowed; then Mrs. General Diss
Debar, who was divorced; then Mrs.
MCGOWAN, who was widowed; then
Mrs. Orchardson, and now the wife of
a fruitarian from Wisconsin, is no wise
averse to talking of her conviction in
New York as 1.-The Marsh fiasco," and
declares that she was made the victim
of savagery. Those who knew Judge
Marsh, she AYERS, knew that he was too
brilliant man to be duped by an ad-
ventures. She was simply ahead OF
the age. She was misunderstood.

still open to me. What does all this
amount to? My husband and myself
have thousands of followers who be-
lieve. Those who are faithful acknowl-
edge me as the only real and legitimate
successor of Nine. Blavatsky, the
priestess of occultism. They know

Mrs. Jackson said that she had been
