NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Oct. 25.-Step-
hen o. Lawrence, a first year student

lJljIe they had committed no
serious crime both Lawrence and the
girl pleaded guilty. Judge Dowd de-
clared they confessed being COM

limit of the law. The girl cried and
Lawrence was dumfounded.
AS an officer stepped up to take them
to jail, a Yale man told Lawrence to
get a lawyer and appeal the case. He

Some MOI JLs ago q ashipg looking
young woman, of say thirty years or

vertised herself as Mrs. Josephine
Thompson, the wonderful mind reader,
and seer, who looks with prophetic eye
into the future. and discerns with the
undimmed vision of the spiritualistic
medium, possibilities of the mystic
morrow for unhappy mortals.
She had among her clientele soma
of the best known and most widely re-
spected people of the city. She resid-
ed on North Stanton street, but after
wards removed to the International
hotel.
She made the acquaintance of pro-
minent contractor of this city, and
they became quite good friends. She
| that he promised to go look as
| some property which she contemplated
buying in the neighborhood Of Las
Cruces. Shortly before he started on
his journey he and the fair Mrs.
Thorn pson held conference. and dur
ing the conversation he revealed the
fact to her that he had about
sixteen-hundred dollars on his person
diamond riog She was fearful that
in goin to Las Cruces he would meet
with some mishap or other or would
be relieved Of his "wad," aud size aug-
gested to secure the money ia a small
package that he might have it
intact, and to conceal it
about lis clothes. While she was maxi
ing up the package che suggested that
he put the ring in the package with the
money and he readily consented. He
took the train for Las Cruces and aftt r
looking over the property, returned to
Ell Paso, all the while holding tight
grip on the small package containing
the money.
When he returned to his home his
wife had learned of the cir
cumstances, and called her hu sband 20
account and asked him what had be-
come OF the money. He told her he
had it in the small pack
age which he exhibited
to her, but she would not believe him.
So to convince her, he tore open the
package and behold the package con-
tained nothing but bro~n paper. He
had been buncoed, the old confidence
game had been worked on him.
He imm ediately communicated his
loss to the police. He then went before
Justic Spencer, and swore out war
rant for the woman's apprehension, and
an immediate search was insti-
tuted for the woman. The
efforts of the police were futile; the
woman had left town in disguise in
company with a male companion, and
their destination was St. Louis.

BISBEE, Ariz., Oct. 24.-Every thinS
remains quiet today in Naco since the
killing of James Ryan by Mexican
guards Sunday night Ryen's body
was left to lie in the boiling sun until
about noon yesterday, as the Mexicans
would not allow him to be removed
across the line. He was buried later on
by Mexicans. This afternoon the body
WAS exhumed, and an examination
made by Mexican authorities, but the
result of the investigation is still Sc
cret.
The guards were reinforced late last
night by about twenty-five cordados
and rurales from La Morita and Mag
dalens. On their arrival at Naco they
Immediately set about throwing up
breastworks about 300 feet from the
boundary line.
The cowboys were held in check by
Babe Thompson, who has been parley-
ing all day with the Mexicans for the
release of the American prisoners.
Jugde Mendozs held court last night
and at midnight decided to release
Jos. Rhoades on $4,000 bond.
Gao. Marts is still prisoner await
ing trial. Cowboys say he shall not be
removed from Neco until he has had q
trial. 1t is thought that the Mexicans
will give Marts his freedom, which
would avert the impending trouble be-
tween the guards and the cowboys.
American and Mexican officials are
arranging to prevent any further
trouble by keeping a number of troops
stationed on both sides of the line to
keep down any lawlessness.
One of the guards wounded in the
encoupter will have his leg amputated
above the knee, the bones having been
shattered.
