Philadelphia, Jan. 1.-THE body OF
lieved to have been murdered on Friday
night by 15-year-old Samuel Hender-
son, was today found in the bottom of
"Reddies''r creek, Sixtieth and Gather
inc streets. and there seems little doubt
in the minds of the police that young
Henderson lis guilty of the crime. He
is now locked in q cell at police head
quarters The body of the child, when
found, was weighted by two heavy
stones, one about his neck and the
other around his ankles. His skull was
crushed in and there was a knife thrust
just above. the heart, and similar
wounds on his breast, side and fore
head, while on one side of his face was
a long cut extending from below the
eye to the chin.
MOST HORRIBLE.
From what the police have been able
to learn. the crime seems to have been
one of the most horrible character. and
if all its details are true, it stamps
young Henderson as a degenerate of
the worst type. He does not seem to
realize the enormity of his crime. Yes
terday, after his arrest. he admitted a
knowledge of the knife thrust, but said
that it was due to the child accident
ally running against an open knife.
Henderson became alarmed at this and
said he threw the body into the creek
Today, however, when shown the mutt
lated body of the child, he admitted
that he was responsible for those cuts
as well, but he still persisted that it
was an accident
THE CRIME.
The poIice however. believe that if
was a planned murder in which the
g1ilty one also purposed ending the
life OF another small boy, Willie adj
olson, aged z years Henderson, it is
claimed, has been reading trashy novels
of the wild west stamp, and has shown
a desire to emulate the hero OF these
tales The police assert that Hender-
son accompanied Lockyar and Addi-
son to the woods, as he told yesterday.
but instead of any accident happening
to either. Henderson tied both children
to a tree. Addison broke away and
ran home. 1t was then, it is said, that
Young LOckyar's death was accom-
pIished. DR.. Morton. the coroner's
who explained the thrust
above the heart, said that it caused
the death of the little fellow The po-
lice searched for the body during all
of last night, and it was not until after
daylight this morning that it was
found. Henderson viii be given a hear
ing tomorrow morning.
BAD FAMILY.
The facts that have come out in con-
nection with Henderson's alleged crime
are that his father. John D. Hender-
son, was on trial before Judge Reedin,
October, 1892, charged with killing
man named Christopher Nelson. The.
killing was the outcome of a quarrel.
Henderson, when arraigned, pleaded
guilty to manslaughter. He was re-
manded for sentence, but some time
later it was shown that the death was
largely accidental, and there was no
intent. He was admitted to
BAIL and is now q free man.

THIEVES AT A WEDDING.
How Some Valuable Jewels Were

That the high social function should
prove a valuable field for the eXpoita-

tircly new idea. Such operations have
been going on more or less since the
world first heard of the proverbial
wolves in sleeps clothing. Every once
in awhile there is q recrudeScence of
this sort of annoyance in large social

to have a weather eye out fer the

of Paris of late, to the evaporation of

PENSION DECISIONS.
Cases Disposed Of by Assistant
Secretary Davis.

In affirming rejection in the ease OF
Basil L. Ridgeway, unassigned drafted re-
cruit Maryland volunteers, Assistant Sec
retry Davis holds
1T appearing that this appellant was
drafted and accepted, but not held to mill
tary service under said draft, and detailed
and employed as q mechanic in the wash
ington Navy-yard at regular wages during
the whole time OF his service he is held by
the authorities of the War Department not
to have been in the military service OF the
United States, and not entitled to recOCni-
ton as d soldier for any purpose, and is,
therefore, not entitled to pension under
any existing law"
The decision states that the official rec
ords show that Ridgeway was drafted
July 8, 1904 in the fifth Maryland district
and was discharged, on a detachment
muster-out roll, dated Dec. IL, 1868, at
Washington, with the remark Accepted
and detailed in Washington Navy
under circular No. %, Provost Marshal
Generals Office, Series 1854" The certifi-
cate Of discharge furnished fsidgeway when
discharged, recalled that he was enrolled
to serve a year or during the-war, and was
discharged from the service of the United
States by reason OF expiration OF term Of
service. He served as u mechanic from
date of draft TO discharge.
Mr. Davis says: The military status of
men OF this class, whose enrolment, en-
piOyment and discharge were Identical IN
all respects with that Of this appellant has
been very carefully considered and passed
upon by the officials of the War Depart
ment. 1T has long been held by this De
partment that the holdings and rulings of
the War Department should govern and
control all questions relating to the mill
tary status and service of applicants for
pension. The official military records OF
that Department are held to be conclusive
as to all matters of enlistment, kind and
character OF service, discharge therefrom,
AMI kindred subjects, and the holdings
and rulings of its officials as TO whether or
not q particular Individual was in the
military service OF the United States or as
to what constituted military service in the
army in any given case, are entitled to,
and have always been, given the greatest
consideration by this Department"
The ruling of the War Department, re-
ferred to, Mr.. Davis says, is in entire con
sonance with the well-settled holding of
the Interior Department that service by
enlisted or drafted men in the general
service as clerks in the execu-
tive Departments, or in other capacities not
military in their nature, was not military
or pensonable service within the meaning
of the law

Resisting In Attack |
What it Means to Fight the
Enemy Nowadays.
MODERN SCIENTIFIC METHODS.

If we are involved in war with Spain or
a foreign nation in the immediate future, the
best authorities believe that the battles will
be fought at long range whether on sea or
land. Boarding the enemies ships and the
old Nelson business of muzzle-to- muzzle is
done away with. The modern science of
war Is altogether different from the old-fash-
toned methods. Hand-to-hand encounters
with the cutlass or the bayonet was the old
way. Now the guns and mortars Of our bat
teries on land and sea will destroy an enemy
two miles or seven miles distant. parallel
TO these modern methods in the science of
war Is the modern methods OF medical science.
