HE TRIED TO ATONE.
Murderer of Captain Young Attempts
Suicide-Used Razor and
Morphine.

WARRENSBURG, MO, June 3.-(Spe-
cialJ James McManigal, under indictment
for killing Captain Thomas Young at Sc
dalia last September, cut his throat here
to-day. y few minutes past u he walked
into Days barber shop, opposite the St.
Cloud hotel, and asked that It bath be
prepared for him. In a few minutes he
entered the bathroom at the rear of the
shop and the BARRIERS heard him splashng
in the tub, but in a short time the noise
ceased and nothing further was heard but
the sound of water running in the tub.
Mr.. Day grew suspicious after a half hour
or so had elapsed and sent his porter to
the room 10 see what McManigal was do
ing.
On pushing open the door the man was
Mortified to see him lying on the floor
with the blood flowing from ghastly
wound in the throat. He was unconscious
and the body was entirely nude. Drs.
Smith, Bradley and Anderson were hastily
summoned and an examination made. The
wound itself was not very deep, but the
man had evidently taken d heavy dose OF
morphine with the intention of making a
complete job of it.
He had evidently finished his bath and
stepped out of the tub and, seating him
self on the floor, had drawn the razor
across his throat, inficting Il wound about
four and a half inches long.
The wound itself is not necessarily fatal
but between loss of blood and the morphine
he is in most precariouS condition and
likely to die at any time.
James H. McManigal is well know IN
this part of the state and on September y
last he stabbed and killed Captain Thomas
Young. Confederate veteran, in the Ia
YOli saloon at Sedalia.
The killing was the result of quarrel
over some. women. Both men had been
drinking and, after Il short alteration
| McManigal drew Il knife and stabbed
Young Just over the heart, inflicting a NOR
| tai wound.
| McManigal was indicted for murder and
| was out on bail. His trial was set for
next Monday, June .. and Sheriff Leer
| had been engaged to-day in subpoenaing
! witnesses to go to Sedalia. Many people
| here had noticed the last few days that
| McManigal appeared nervous and morose
and as the date of his trial drew nearer
his melancholy increased until it culmi-
| mated to-day in his attempt at suicide.
| Manigal is married ana mas one child
| He was formerly in the furniture business
| here under the firm name, of Manigal Il
| Huff. At the time of the killing of Young
| he was travelling salesman and bookkeepel
for Z. G. Cassidy, wholesale liquor dealer
| of Sedalia.

Massachusetts for Henderson.

BOSTON, June AT a meeting of the
Republican members of the Massachusetts
delegation held here to-day to consider the
question of speakership, it was decided
to support Colonel Henderson, of Iowa.
Mr.. Moody was the unanimous choice of
the delegation, but after a statement from
Mr.. Moody and a free and full discussion
of the situation it was deemed inexpedi-
ent that Massachusetts should place a
candidate in the field. 1t was agreed that
those present would act upon the views of
the majority. a decided majority favored
the nomination of Colonel Henderson, and
accordingly it was agreed that the delcga-
ton should support that candidate. Mr..
Mccall agreed to this result by letter. Mr.
Sprague sent word that if present he
would vote for Mr.. Sherman. Mr.. Law
renee was absent.

CHICAGO, June 3.-Congressman d. s.
Henderson, of Iowa. arrived in Chicago to-
day to meet. he said some of his friends
on the Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan
delegations Congressman Hopkins was the
first to greet him and they conferred to-
gether for over an hour Advices received
to-day. it is asserted by Colonel HenGer
sons friends. assure his election as speak
cr The action of the Illinois delegation on
Friday and assurances from Michigan and
Indiana left little doubt in their minds as
to the outcome of the contest, but when
word came that the ten Massachusetts Re
publican congressman and the Maryland
delegation of four had voted to cast their
lot with the Iowan. the claims were made
that his election was now certain.
The following votes. Congressman Hen
derson says. are now pledged to him:
Illinois, fourteen; Iowa. eleven; Ohio, tif-
teen: Wisconsin, ten; Minnesota, seven;
South Dakota, two; Massachusetts, ten;
Maryland, four.
To this will be added to a certainty, it is
asserted by the friends of General Hender-
son. the votes of the Michigan and Indiana
delegations-twelve from the former and
nine from the latter-giving him a total of
ninety-four votes, or one more than a ma
jority of the Republican votes in the house.
Topeka that six of the seven Republican
congressman in Kansas were also for Hen
derson.
Word was also received from Congress
man Fowler, of New Jersey, saying there
would be votes for General Henderson in
| that delegation and an intimation that the
East would do much more for him than had
been looked for
Senator William B. Allison, of Iowa, who
was in the city on his way to Washing
ton, when asked for an expression of opin-
ion on General Henderson's probable cleo
ton, said:
| Il think l can sum up the case when I
| say that in the first place the honor will
be most worthily bestowed, and in the
| second place, that Iowa is profoundly
grateful for the honor which is to be con-
| ferred on a man so universally beloved
and respected as is General Henderson"
