THE SEERY MURDER IRlAL.
Sons Of Murdered Woman Held Tor Grand Jury
at Preliminary Trial.

Dedham. Mass, Aug. 3-On charge Of
numbering their mother, Ellen Secry, or
July >, John w. Seery and Joseph T.
Scery. today. were held for the grand jury
without bail.
The trial of the defendants was begun.
last Monday, and after lasting all day.
at the request Of the defence, was con
tinued until this morning. The govern
ment having finished its side. testimony
for the defence was presented. today.
The only witness was John f. BARRE l..
one of the government witnesses ana a
special officer of the town. Witness and
officer pug3n made a search of the house
and grounds but found no trace Of a
missing piece of the dead woman $ under
wear. He saw no blood about the house
outside the room in which the body was
found The defence rested after reading
the testimony given at the inquest by
Medical School.
This was to the effect that Prof. Wood
made an examination of 22 articles taken
from the body of Mrs. Seery, the room
in which she died and from the other
rooms of the house. His examina ton re-
vealed boodstains. but no other sub
stance. aside from water was found. All
the stains seemed to have been made All
the same time, and to have been the re-
suit of a nasal fluid. and probably came
on the articles by being handled.
Before making his decision known,
Judge Grover reviewed the evidence t.
some extent. He. stated that he was not
to try the case. but simply to find prob
able cause. Mrs. Ellen Seery was un-
doubtedly murdered. he said. her sons
were there and there is no evidence to
show that anyone else did ii. Then ne
ordered the sons to be held without bali.

MUCH EASIER.
Since the Source of Infection
Has Gone North
Physicians Hope for Speedy Suppress
sion Of Yellow Fever at Hampton.
Fort Monroe Garrison will Be Taken Away
Efforts for Suppression.

Washington, Aug. 3-The yellow
fever situation at Hampton continues
favorable and encouraging in the opin-
ion of the officials of the marine hoSpi-
tai service.
According to official reports there has
been no spread of the contagion. since
yesterday, nor have any of the cases
now under treatment proved fatal
since that time. Ii is hoped to con-
fine the disease to the Soldiers Home
and Phoebus but Surgeon General Wy
man thinks it's too early to make a de-
finite prophecy regarding the outbreak.
Tonight. DIR. Wyman received the
following tlegram from DIR. Vickery,
stationed at the Soldiers Home:
Situation favorable and encourag-
ing. No new cases and no deaths"
The marine hospital officials at
Hampton have succeeded in
tracing and locating the former
inmate of the Soldiers Home,
who is believed to have brought yell
low fever to that place. His name is
William Thomas. He arrived at the
Home on transport from Santiago
where he had been visiting, between
July and ) last. He was admitted to
the Home as veteran and shortly if
ter developed chills and fever.
In the light of the subsequent events
the experts believe there is little doubt
that he was affected with mild case
of yellow fever, although it was 10,
diagnosed as such at the time. When
well enough TO travel he left the Home
and his baggage was sent to PhoebuS.
The man himself went TO Columbus
City, Wash. where he now is. sur
geon General Wyman regards it as
fortunate that Thomas went to such a
high latitude as ii greatly lessons any
danger of infection.
Regarding the probable duration of
the present epidemic. DR.. Wyman said,
today: 1t is too early yet to make pre-
dictions as Ia the suppression of the
outbreak. only four days having
elapsed since the discovery of the
fever. The fact that Thomas. the orgi-
nal suspect has gone North. takes con
siderable weight off of our minds as he
is now in a latitude where there is no
chance of yellow fever doing any great
damage.
our past experience in the South
mas shown, however. that yellow fever
can be suppressed and confined to the
original focus of infection when the pre-
cautions are taken early enough in the
outbreak. We believe that the quaran-
tine precautions as now enforced in the
South are effective. Where there has
been apparently a spread through
the official lines. it has been due to
tardy information Of the outbreaks.
This shows the necessity Of prompt re-
ports in all suspicious cases.
1t was finally deeidetl. this afternoon,
that the garrison at Fort Monroe
should be taken away on the govern
mcnt transport Mcclellan which will
leave New York, tonight. and will ar
rive, tomorrow.
