The Police Possess Evidence
Against StabberS of Ryan.
VICTIM IS IMPROVING
Three Suspects In Jail Are Identified
by a Saloon Keeper--Saw
Them Run Away.

George Ryan's condition was very
much improved today, m the attending
physicians are very mech Of the opinion
that the crisis has been passed and that
he will recover. He had improved sufi-
GENTLY to talk this afternoon, and was
inclined to discuss the episode which
came SO near ending his life, but the
physicians will not permit him to do
much talking, n n revelations that
he may have regarding his assailants
will have to wait for the return of
strength.
The police are much inclined to be-
lieve that in the suspects Martin, Matti-
son and Erickson, they have men who
are very closely connected with the
crime of which Ryan was the victim.
The men cannot give, or at least have
not given, a satisfactory explanation of
their whereabouts on Wednesday morn
ing.
The three men were identified last
night by George Bunce. a bartender. as
the men who passed through his place
shortly after the stabbing. Bunce is
positive in his Identification. He saws
the men entered the saloon on Park
street. ran through the place and made
a hurried exit at the rear. Bunce's place
is the saloon through which the assail-
ants of Ryan are supposed to have made
their escape.
In addition to this. the police have
other evidence up their sleeve which
they say connects the suspects more or
less directly with the crime. The nature
OF this is such that they decline to make
1t public at this time, but say it will be
forthcoming In due season.
The suspects were demoved to the
county Jail last night.

Helena, Jan 5.-Failing in his attempt
to kill his divorced wife, Charles Mach
turned the weapon upon himself and
committed suicide. This tragedy oc-
Cured early this morning in a little cot
tage on HOWE street.
Mach has been at the county hospital
for several months, receiving treatment
for an injury sustained in the East Pa
cific mine at Winston, which resulted in
his losing one of his legs.
During his illness his wife sued and
procured a divorce on the grounds of
n~on-support and cruelty. He has brood
ed over this a good deal. He left the
hospital last night against the wishes of
Keeper Steuwe and said he was coming
up town. He called or Mrs. Mach and
she gave him some supper. She said he
could sleep on the lounge.
During the night he got up and de-
and a drink. Being told there was
no liquor in the house, he went down
town and returned about 8 a. m. He
tried to get his wife to drink from a
bottle of brandy, which he said con-
tanned laudanum. She said she did not
wan to die.
well, I'll kill you!" he replied, and,
drawing a As Colts pistol, aimed it at her
and pulled the trigger.
She struck his arm. spelling his aim,
and the bullet went wide of the mark.
A struggle ensued during which the lamp
was upset. and as he fired again the wo-
man fell to the floor, as though hit.
You have killed mother!' cried one of
the children from an adjacent bed.
I'll die tool" said the would-be muir
derer, and, turning the weapon against
his left breast he fired, dropping to the
floor, shot through the heart.
The woman, uninjured, left the place
with her children and notified the neigh
bors.
The police were soon or the scene, as
was Coroner Brooke.
The wound in Mach's breast was
frightful to look at, the bullet having
made a hole three inches in diameter.
An inquest will be held tonight.

HAS HALLUCINATIoNs
MillIOnaire's Daughter, Who EIOPed
and Then Went Into COnvent---Hsr
Work In BrattleborO.

The New York Herald of Wednesday
had an extended article with several
Illustrations in regard to Victoria Moro
SIM who is said TO have become mentally
unbalanced and to have left the convent
of the Sacred Heart of Mary in Rutland
where she has been living in retirement.
| She is remembered i'm Brattleboro as one
! of the teachers in the parochial school
and particularly for her skill in arrang-
| ing entertainments for the children. Her
| father is Giovanni +. Morosni, a retired
millionaire banker who owns a fine es-
tate known as Riverdale on the Hudson.
Mr.. Morosint was an Italian revolutonist
who came to this country and engaged
successfully in railroadng, winning his
way to important positions and finally
\ becoming the partner of the late jay
Gould.
Victoria, who was a girl of striking
beauty, eloped from Riverdale in Septem-
Der, 1884, with Earnest Schilling. a coach
man who had been discharged by her
father some time before on account of
his attentions to the girl. 1t is said that
months ago, and her hallucinations led
her to believe her husband was attempt
ing TO kidnap her. When she entered
street car, she would compel the conduc-
| tor to hold the car until she had looked
carefully at all the passengers; II any;
After her marriage her family refused
to recognize her. She lived in Europe
with Mr.. Schilling a short time and then
decided to go upon the stage. After
singing in concerts in the West, she APP
peared in Indifferent parts in the Thalla
theatre in Boston and later at the Ca
sino in New York.
A reconciliation with her father was eff
fected in 1886. Soon after she disappear
ed again and it was said that she lived in
converts abroad for some time. In 1887
she was heard from in Glens Falls, N. Y,
I where she was known as THE Yelled
Woman" on account of her peculiar cos
| tune. After leaving Glens Falls, her
movements were yelled in mystery until
she entered the convent at Rutland.
The second romantic wedding in the
Morosini family took place less than two
weeks ago when a son married Miss
| Carolina Washington Bond, a young wo-
man of New York famed for her beauty.
Mr. Morosini opposed this wedding on
account of the religion of Miss Bond but
received tf0e young couple at his home
after the ceremony had been performed.

II was felt there was still greater need
