thropy. Edward Weiden, seaman of
the Oregon, who was in the battle off
Santiago, is dying of consumption in
the Los Angeles county hospital and
the inha bitants of the Angel City will
see to it that his remains will not be

months ago suffering from a mild form

Mr.. Wall Changes His Mind.

When Deputy Sheriff Wall returned
10 the Providence county jail, this
noon, after having brought in a pris-
oner whose trial was docketed In the
common pleas division for today, he
sent for the old state prison record that
he might Inspect the entry made in
1863. Mhen- Charles L--QAaan-- -praS-ee4a-
mitted for the Ward tragedy. He was
still firmly convinced that the man
owen who killed Sadie Mathewson was
the ONE who murdered Ward and his
belief was not shaken until he looked
at the old record. There were discrep-
ancies which made him feel doubtful
as to the Identification and he resolved
to l-rFe another talk with Samuel A..
owen.
Going to the Jail wing he sent for
Owen and asked him about his brohers,
how many there were and who they
were.
Owen said that he had three brothers
and that their names were Albert A.
AlonZo and Lucius G.. The latter was
at times known as Charles l.. Owen de-
clared yesterday, that ii was Lucius
and not himself whom Deputy Sheriff
Wall saw kill Thomas Ward. and today
he. reiterated that statement and said
that Lucius was now working on a
farm in Foster. run by Dexter Taylor
He gave other details which quite thor
oughly convinced Mr.. Wall that he had
been mistaken and that Owen was tell
ing the truth, whereupon the interview
was brought TO an end.

A Murder In the COS.

According TO statements made by
Deputy Sheriff Wall. clerk of the State
prison, there Is reason 10 believe that
owen may be worse man that he al
ready appears to be. The man when
brought to the prison yesterday, APP
peared familiar 20 Mr.. Wall, and upon
looking up the records he found that
Charles l.. owen, alias Lucius C.Owen,
had been sentenced for the murder of
Thomas Ward I'm 1869 and hal served
his term OF Is months. ON being ques-
toned. the man placed I'm the Jail yes
terday said that Charles l.. owen was
his brother. and tl,it n used TO visit
him when he was serving his time. He
denied that he was the man who muir
dered Thomas Ward.
This may be 50. but IL is a rather Pc
culiar coincidence that the dcscript on
OF Samuel II. owen, the Nun jailed yes
teSfay, and Charles f.. owen. accord
ing TO the prison records. compare fact
for fact Charles owen was 2S at the
time the record was taken. That was 30
years ago. Samuel owen gives his age
as 81 Both men were shcemakers by
occupation. and the records tally I'm 9TH
or respects 10 an extent that leads Dep
uty Sheriff Wall 90 believe that Samuel
r.. owen and Charles l.. owen are one
and the same man.

The Victims History.

Sadie Mathewson. the murdered wo-
man, was 22 years OF age. Her maid-se--
name was Sadie Fiske. and she Is said
to have come from North Scituate to
the farm where owen lived. IL is stat
ed that she married man named
Mathewson and secured divorce. BY
some she was known as Sadie Flske,
while others called her Sadie Mathew

which owen claims was Sadie Mathew

This Mrs. Pierce, formerly Rosie
Fiske. who is 25 years of age, had until
about three weeks ago been living with
owen, for three years, as his house
keeper About two weeks ago she was
marriedj to George Pierce of Sterling
Conn, and IL wa sthen that the sister,
Sadie, came to fill the vacant place in
Owens household. IL is believed that
the fact that Mrs. Pierce had left him
had caused a spirit of jealousy TO arise
in owens heart. and that IL was this
as much as anything else which led
him TO commit the crime.
When owen reached Sterling, about
six miles from the scene of the murder,
he found Mrs. Pierce and her husband
together. Without any parley he at
tempted to plunge the knife he held into
the woman, but her husband overpow-
cred him and took the knife away from
him. Then Owen drew jack knife and
