the Jap in custody. But noth- ing whatever turned up to con- meet the Japanese with the trag- edy.
 Then it leaked out that Miss Harrington had a great friend, an elderly gentleman, who used frequently to call and take her out for a ride in his buggy. Strangely enough no one could ever be found to assert posi- lively that buggy was or was not standing outside the door at the time of the murder. No one had seen the conveyance, but at the same time nc one would swear that it was not there. Then it was discovered that Miss Harrington's friend was eX-Senator Buck.
 Here is where the strange sec- ond fatality of this tragedy comes In. The Senator, on the same day. was thrown from his buggy in Oakland, and received injuries which resulted in his death a few days later. He never regained consciousness af- ter his accident, and conse- quently was unable to throw any light on the murder.

MORTON STREET STRANGLER

N URING the early months of 1S9 | lthere was a regular reign of ter TOT among the denizens of Morton street and it's vicinity. The scarle woman for the time being was scared from the pursuit of her ancient and dishonorable pro-
 fession. The police proved ut
 terly powerless to protect her, nor was any trace of the mur- derers ever discovered. Owing to the secrecy with which her trade is conducted the ''unfor- tunate" offers herself as an easy prey to the midnight mur- derer. History relates many such instances. Jack the Rip per terroriZed Whitechapel with his butcher knife, but no trace of the man was ever found. The Denver strangler killed three

 = THE EUGENE WARE MYSTERY.
one of the most famous
 of the many unsolved criminal

| PROBABLY one of the most famo :. of the many unsolved crimiI mysteries of recent years was murder of Eugene Ware, a cle in the drug store at the St. Nicholas Hotel. The crime was
 so revolting in it's character, the motive of the murder was so
 completely shrouded in doubt, that it afforded scope for the most delicate detective work. It
 is needless to say that the police .. utterly failed to gain the slight
 est hint of the murderer's iden- . tify. and the man who stabbed Eugene Ware with a dagger in
 nineteen different places, almost
 carving his body to pieces, IS still at large, unless, indeed, his
 sin has already found him out, :, and he has expiated his crime on tbe gallows. There is popu-
 lar theory that Durrant was the
 murderer; one of the women seen about the place is said to have resembled Durrant's sister. But no tangible evidence in sup
 port of this supposition has ever
 been brought forward; it is only
 a. vague general hypothesis, which probably has no pasls III
 fact.
 It was about 1:15 on the morn .. Ing of December fl, 1894, that :. Police Officer O'Day, patrolilng :: in the vicinity of the St. Nlch- olas, noticed that there was no . light in the drug store. This = was an unusual circumstance,

 ally closed at midnight, the 4 gas was always left burn N

The Coroner's inquest resulted in the usual verdict of murderer unknown. Dissatis- fled with this result, the police later on proceeded against a man named Tyrell and succeed ed in getting him held for trial, though the scanty evidence which they could gather to- gether was not sufficient to se- cure a conviction.

Two spots of blood were found at the head of the stairs, and from this it was deduced that the stab ping was done upstairs, and the body afterWard bundled down the steps.
 The next idea of the police was the revenge or jealousy theory. Ware was known to have many female friends, some of whom had been seen in the store on the night before the

 citement caused by
 this crime had hardly
 subsided when a month later an- other and more awful murder occurred. In this case the vic tim was Bertha Paradis. who lived at 27 St. Marys street. At 2 o'clock on the morning of March 10 her parasite, a Frenchman named Caesar Che bart, found her dead in her rooms. A large handkerchief had been literally rammed down her throat with the aid of car penter's pencil. No money had been taken from the room, and, indeed, she had little to lose. There was not the faintest trace of the criminal. Her sou teneur was obviously the last man to have committed such an offense, and no one knew who

EAsTFORD.

The Connecticut humane society again has been compelled to discipline Loren Bosworth of Eastford. Aft.r r the vigor- ous treatment which Bosworth received a year or two ago, he had behaved very much better and 1t was hoped that he would continue to do so, but during the past few weeks it has come to light that his stock was being sadly neglected. Last week the agents of the society visited the premises of Bosworth, where they found six horses roaming about his fields and in the forests without food or shelter and likewise two bulls and one sheep. One of the bulls was so weak that it could hard ly stand alone when the agent of the society attempted to take it to place of shelter. Complaint was made to $. B. Harvey of Willimantic, prosecuting at. torney for the humane society, who went to Eastford Thursday and caused the arrest of Bosworth on a charge of cruelty to his animals. He was brought before Justice J. M. Keath. He entered de- murrer and refused to plead to the con- plaint. Justice Keath then found him guilty and imposed fine of $7 and costs, which MT. Bosworth paid. MT. Bosworth is "A years old. In addition to paying his fine and costs MT. Bosworth paid the ex- penses of caring for his stock and took it home, promising to care for it properly in the future. .-HGrtforI Current
