Editor Virginian-Pilot:
Kindly allow me space in your VAL
liable paper to make the following sug-
sestions: Would 1t not be an excellent
thing, IL some church or churches in
Norfolk would institute series Of or
gan. or song rccitals. or n combina ton
of both, to take place on Sunday after
Moons or evenings. during the coming
winter? The undersigned Judging from
what he has seen in other cities) is
sure that such a move would meet with
the success it would deserve. A small
fee might be charged. or collection be
taken to cover expenses. and many peo-
pie, who have no opportunity during
the week. would thus be able to spend
half hour or more in enjoyment of
the music OF the great masters. which
has refining and elevating influence
that is undeniable. l predict that any
church that starts on the lines indi-
Gated Will not want for large and ap-
preciative audiences. Let Others be
heard from on this subject ]. H.

Boards were torn up in looking for OBJ
jects that might give a clew to the
murder, and the whole neighborhood
was searched. Most Of the objects con-
nected with the murder were taken to
the Jail to-day. District Attorney Gort-
ner thoroughly inspected the premises
this afternoon. 1t is said that the light
suit of clothes which Locke wore on
Sunday afternoon has not been found
as yet. A friend told him yesterday
that it would be better for his case if
he would produce that suit. Locke hest
tated in his answer, and finally said
that the suit would turn up at the prop
er time. Locke says he is a fatalist, n
believes in taking things as they come.
This morning Locke's counsel applied
for a writ of habeas corpus, and Judge
McFie made it returnable this after
moor at 3 o'clock, but by consent the
hearing was postponed until Wednes-
day afternoon at 2 o'clock.

CONSPIRACY CASES
The Late Superintendent Of the Pen
itentiary and His Son Now
Among the Accused.
SCHULTZ The INFORMANT
The Prominent Men the Convict Said He
Was Employed to Poison and the Ones
Arrested on An Accusation Of Con-
cocting the Allegation.

Ten days ago warrants We're issued
for the arrest of o. L. Merrill, late as
sistant superintendent of the peniten-
tiary; Il. H. Bergman, superintendent;
his son Henry Bergman, and Captain
T. B. Hart, a rancher, who served a
term in the penitentiary for man.
slaughter, committed in a fight. The
charge against all of the accused is con-
spiracy.
Merrill vas arrested a week ago and
gave bond. Sheriff Kinsell and Detect
i've Cook brought Hart down from his
ranch near Aztec, though serving the
warrant was not necessary, and he was
not imprisoned. Yesterday Sheriff Kin
sell telephoned to the Bergmanns to
come to the court house, as he had war;
rants to read to them. The call was
complied with, and promises given to
be present whenever examination
should be held.
The examination of the charge will
begin before Judge John r. McFie next
Tuesday, if there be no p~ostponement.
The accusation is based upon an affi-
davit or statements by c. H. Schultz,
alias w. H. Garner, made since his in
generation in the county Jail upon a
charge Of perjury, upon complaint of
ex-Marshal Fred Fornoff, of Albu-
querque.
Schultz, alias Garner, was sent to the
penitentiary from Bernalillo county,
the residence of Mr.. Fornoff, for obtain
ing money under false pretenses. His
term ended April 20 last, and on that
day he was arrested for perjury. While
in the penitentiary Schultz made a
sworn statement that he had gone to
the penitentiary by agreement with
Hon. T. B. Catron, Fred Fornoff, and
through co%nnivance with other Albu-
querque people, to poison the food of
Superintendent Bergman, District At
torney j. H. Crist, Governor w. T.
Thornton, DR.. ]. H. Sloan and Judge
N. B. Laughlin, upon some occasion
when they should dine there.
The confessor also submitted bottles
said to contain poison furnished to him
for the murderous purpose. The state
ment was lengthy, and contained many
details not proper to until
considered in court.
Prior to this affidavit being made.
Captain Hart had become a free man.
Before he left Santa Fe he informed
District Attorney c. A. Spiess of the
claim being made by Schultz. The fact
was also learned by Mr.. Catron, who
has since been actively working out his
theory that Schultz was prompted to
make the accusation in regard to the
proposed poisoning and other matters
by other parties at the ~penitentiary. 1t
was undoubtedly expected to discover
from Schultz all facts connected with
the matter for the purpose of reaching
the parties suspected Of inspiring the
conspiracy.
How much the prisoner has revealed
or stated upon this subject, and wheth-
err his statement is corroborated can
only be ascertained at the examination
next week, when his statements in re-
gard to the alleged murderous plot and
the alleged conspiracy will be consid-
cred.

SMALLPOX AMONG ZUNIS.
Miss DeSette States That This Tribe Of In
dams Is Free from the Disease.

SAAS wv
Miss DeSette, who has been visiting
at the Indian school for a few days,
left last night for Indianapolis. She re-
ports the Zunis as entirely recovered
from the effects Of smallpox and busy
with farming.
All but four of the families who re-
manned in the village washed their
clothing and bedding. whitewashed
their houses and carbolized their floors
under the direction of Miss DeSette.
The four who refused were the unpro-
gressive element, to which, unfortu-
nately, the governor of the pueblo and
his staff" belong.
AS early as November 16 this govern
or was requested by the principal of
the school to isolate the first case of
smallpox, and he refused to do SO. The
terrible mortality which followed he
accounted for by the presence of
witches"
In spite of his opposition Miss De-
Settle succeeded admirably in her relief
and sanitary work, having spent 1852
in clothing, food and medical supplies.
Among the items Of goods given to
the poor were 1890 yards Of cloth and
1856 blankets. The funds were given by
the following parties: Indian Rights
Association. $492; by eastern friends Of
missions in New Mexico, $120; extra
salary granted Miss DeSette by the
commissioner of Indian affairs, $140.
No one has a deeper interest in the
welfare Of the Pueblo dia than
Miss DeSette, nor has more influence in
| interesting others in their behalf.
