to learn whether there would be any legal
objection to their coming into the country.
He was Informed that the contract labor
laws made specific exception in the cases
of worhmen to be employed in an industry
new to this country, and as 1aceralsng
undoubtedly was new industry here there

PLANNED TO
MURDER HIM.
DIVORCE CONsPIREs AGAINST
FORMER HUSBAND.
|HE SNEERED AT Her
Gives This as An Excuse
for Hiring Man to
Kill Him.

4 Concord, N. Fl. Dec. 27--A sensa-
tional episode came to climax last
night in the arrest Of Mrs. Carrie
Sinclair Huntoon, 26 years of age,
we'll known in society and at the time
of her marriage one Of the bellies of
the city, on the charge OF conspiracy
with intent to kill her divorced hus-
band, Walter G. Huntoon, of whom it
is asserted she has been extremely
! jealous.
| AT the September term of the su-
preme court Mrs. Huntoon was grant
! ed a divorce from her husband on
statutory grounds. The story of the
murder conspiracy as given out by the
police is as follows:
On Monday Mrs Huntoon went to
Boston and in the union station there
accosted young man, William HI.
Dutton of Dorchester, stenographer,
asking him if he was looking for work
and would like to earn dollar He
said no, but she outlined a plan to
him to kill her husband, promising
him reward. Dutton gave her no
definite promise and he went home
and told his father of the conversa-
tion. His father sent him to the po-
lice authorities in Boston and they in
turn notified City Marshal Locke, CIV
ing the latter description of the
woman as Dutton remembered her.
On Tuesday, the police say, Mrs.
Huntoon came back to this city and
wrote letter to young Dutton telling
him to come here at once and giving
him directions as to how he was to do
the job, when he got here. Dutton
showed the letter to the police and by
their directions met Mrs Huntoon
here at a room in the state house.
Marshal Locke and Assistant Marshal
Band watched the proceedings. Young
Dutton claims that Mrs. Huntoon
handed him loaded revolver and en-
velope which she said contained S.
bill as part payment for the job and
another envelope as a decoy letter
which was to be egiven to Huntoon, her
former husband, in order to get him
out of the house and into a favorable
place for the carrying out of the crime.
Mrs. Huntoon pointed in the direc-
tion of the house, and as she did so
the city marshal stepped up and
caught her by the hand she recognized
the marshal and went into Mysteries.
When she came to her senses she
was allowed to say good bye to her
aged mother and little child and was
then arrested.
Mrs. Huntoon's only excuse is that
Huntoon sneered at her when he met
her on the street. Her friends said
that her trouble with her husband
caused her extreme mental anguish
and that she is not responsible for
her actions. Today she was pro-
nounced insane and taken to an
asylum.

COAL MINERS STRIKE
Machinery Causes Extra Labor
for Which They De-
mand Pay.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 27-Six hun
dred miners of the Bakerton Coal
oompany's mines, near Barnesboro,
on the Pennsylvania railroad, were to-
day reported as on strike by Organ
izer Edward Mckay, who visited the
miners headquarters here.
The strike arises from the recent
introduction of mining machines, and
five mines of the company have been
forced to suspend operations. The min
ers are demanding extra remuneration
for the extra labor entailed by the use
of machinery
Questions are involved in relation
to the mining wage scale that are
likely to cause trouble in all of the
Pennsylvania fields and which it will
be imperative to adjust.
