MR.. PORTER DEFEATED.
State senator LIZ uBsbury Nominated
by Connecticut Republicans.

New Haven, Conn, Sept. l5.-John Ad-
Olson Porter, secretary to President Nc
Kinley. was easily defeated in the Re-
publican State convention today by his
chief rival, State Senator George E.
Lounsbury. The. convention was one of
the bitterest ever held in the State. The
machine, which is made up mostly of
members of the State central committee,
was denounced by the Porter speakers,
and the other side sharply retorted.
The vote for governor was: Lounsbury,
356; Porter, 120. James d. Dewell received
l6 votes, and Gen. s. z. Nerwin l. The
Porter vote was a surprise TO the Por
ter supporters. Yesterday the Porter lieu-
tenants after looking over the field. gave
out the opinion that they had votes
enough to nominate, but it is evident that
the other fellows out-generaled them.
Some politicians say that the bad feeling
that was noticeable in the campaign and
convention VIII injure the party consider
ably at the polls.
The other men nominated on the State
ticket were Lyman A. Mills, of Middle
field, lieutenant governor: Huber Clarke,
of Willimantic. secretary of State; c. S.
Mersick, New Haven, treasurer: Thorn
son S. Grant, Enfield, comptroller: Charles
Phelps, Vernon, attorney general.
The permanent chairman of The conven-
tion was Congressman E. j. Hill. Lieut.
Gov. James D. DeweIl is defeated for the
gubernatCrial nomination and also for re-
nomination as lieutenant governor The
candidate for treasurer is city treasurer
of New Haven.

A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
ihe wages of Sin Were Death for
These Guilty Lovers


Louisville, KY, Sept D.-Guilty love
caused a triple tragedy in the Enterprise
Hotel here al o'clock this morning.
Joseph ViIliers and Nellie McCufin. both
OF this city, and the mans eighteen
months-old baby were found dead in a
room in the hotel. The man and woman
were both shot in the right temple. and
the baby had been poisoned The man
and woman had also taken poison.
The three came TO the hotel at o'clock
last night, and were assigned to the
room. At O'Clock this morning three
shots were heard No one was able to
locate where they came from.
An hour later porter was sent to call
the three for breakfast. The door was
locked and he could get no answer Night
Clerk Coots went to the room broke in
the transom. and looked over He saw
the three bodies lying on the blood-soak-
ed bed The woman was lying across the
man. and the body OF the baby was on
the pillow.
Three notes We're found which told the
story. Two were written by the woman
and one by Villiers. Those written by
the woman said she had quarreled with
her lover and determined both should die,
and gave him morphine. The one written
by the man said he was resigned to his
fate Ii gave directions to his mother
for the disposition of his body.
The supposition is that the poison did
not work fast enough and the woman
took S2-caliber pistol and shot the man
through the temple. He fell back on the
bed and then she put a bullet through
her brain in the same place. The baby
died from the poison, which was given
in nursing bottle. The woman had
given the poison in sherry wine, a half
empty bottle Of which was found on a
table
Villiers's child was by his deceased
wife.

MAY NOT BE ExTRADITED.
Mrs. Botkins's Lawyer Makes
Strong Fight for Her.

San Francisco. Sept. 15.-From Gov
Budd's actions and questions in the Bot
kin extradition case today. it looks as
though he would refuse to extradite the
alleged prisoner to Delaware.
He thought the application for extradi-
ton should have been preceded by the
complaint. In the application the past
tense was used and the governor declared
that to make it a legal complaint the
present tense should have been used
Attorney knight, for the defense based
his objection to the eXtradition mainly on
the ground that it would deprive Mrs
Botkin of her legal rights, since Delaware
law does not provide for the mileage of
witnesses The defense cannot pay this;
hence, the prisoner would have to depend
upon depositions. Mr. Knight also argued
that all the testimony gathered by the
police here was foreign to the application,
as it was not known to the governor of
Delaware when he signed the document.
The day was consumed in argument

THE BRIDGEPORT MYSTERY

MANY IDENTIFY THE HEAD
Various Callers mt the MOrgue and

Descriptions Believe They Have
Solved the Question-Capt. Arnold

"a Likely One.

Bridgeport, Conn, Sept. 15.-The mark
"G ST. on the clothing wrapped about
a part of the womans body found in
Yellow Mill Pond was found this after
noon on the linen worn by Henry Gull
ford, the young sailing master of James
II. Parish's steam yacht Ceres, and son
of DR.. Nancy Alice Guilford, the women
physician who disappeared from Bridge
port a few hours after the finding of the
body.
1t was also found on the underclothing
of DR.. Henry f. Gill, the womans hus-
band, in the prison at Weathersfield
where the New Haven physician is serv-
ing sentence of three and one-half years
on the charge of having attempted an
abortion on a young country girl from
Cheshire, in New Haven, last February.
Capt. Arnold, it is said, has found that
a man, who, he believes, had a hand in
the crime, hired a buggy from a livery
stable on Sunday night and another from
another livery stable on Monday night
and Capt Arnold, SO the report goes, is
waiting until he gets a little more eyi-
dence before he asks for arrests.
That the criminals came from an east
ern neighborhood town seems to be the
idea of the police. They are working on
New Haven clews.
Nothing was heard today about
Henry Burlson, the young Bridgeport
meat wagon driver who popped up in
Matteawan, n. Y, yesterday afternoon
with a pneumatic road wagon. He is be-
lieved to be innocent. despite the circum-
stantial evidence against him.

head was that of Marion Grace Perkins,
who left Middleboro two weeks ago, sup

friend to go home. She and Bovine took
