KRUGER'S GREAT sLEUTH.
Detective Marks Wants Damages
from the British.
London Mail.

LONDON Mail.
An interesting arrival in London is that
of Nahum Marks, the Transvaal detective,
whose name became so notorious at the
beginning stage of the war.
1t will be remembered that State Secre-
t&ry ReitZ t~elegraphed to the premier OF
Natal saying he had heard Marks was i'm
prisoned at Durban; that Marks was no
spy of the army, but a secret detective for
criminal cases. namely, false coming, and
that If the death sentence were passed upon
him the Transvaal government would lex
ecute six British officers in place thereof"
Marks, who was seen by a Daily Mail
representative yesterday. will forgive the
suggestion that he does not, on the surface.
look TO be worth six British officers in
place thereof" He is a little man with a
very rubicund face, a long brown beard
streaked with gray. and a large head which
would be very bald but for the economic
display of such wisps of hair as vet re-
brown eyes, a highly confidential manner
and a deep cultural pronunciation.
He is seventy years of age and has had
an eventful career. At one time or another
he has served the English, the Russian and
the French government; and in several
of the great crises which have during the
past fifty years gone to make up the his
tory of these nations he has taken an ac-
tive, If cryptic, part.
He is in London to prosecute his claim
against his Majesty'S government for dam
ages. He wants thousands TO compensate
him for the injurious treatment he alleges
he received. He was kept in prison at Dur
bIll " a. eCdA u1lOtl lid MIlliOuI IIldI.
he states. and during the whole of that
time was confined in one of the condemned
cells with, as neighbors, men who were
awaiting the hangman.
But, although ii is quite true that Mr..
ReitZ sent the threat above quoted, Marks
was never actually sentenced to death. The
rumor arose in this way. To the seven or
eight other prisoners with Marks there en-
tered one day a warder, who cheerfully as
sured them, Boys you are all going to be
shot" Some of them failed TO appreciate
the warder's humor and tearfully told their
friends that they had been sentenced to
death. Moreover. they Immediately en-
gagged a solicitor, who fortuitously ap-
Marks was one Of those who thus parted
with cash for the law. and he harbors
against this warder a feeling akin TO dis
like.
Marks considers he has been completely
exonerated from completely in any acts
against the British government. and In
proof thereof exhibits the following docu-
ment:
"C~ommandant's Office, Durham.
Nov. %, 1900.
"Mr. n. Marks. of Johannesburg. has
been detained here on suspicion under mar
tial law from October. 1899. till October Is.
1900, when he was released by order OF Cen.
Sir r. Butler.
The ground of Marks's detention an
pears to have been that for the eleven
ployed in the Transvaal as confidential de-
vaal government. but he has not been
charged with any offense against the Brit
ish government.

FOR FOSBURGH MURDER
NELSON JONES Is ARRESTED AT
MIDDLEsBURY, VT.
Refuses to Discuss the Case After Be-
ing Placed i'm Jail-His Preiimi-
nary story of the Crime.

MIDDLESBURY, VT, March 2i-Nelson
Jones. about twenty-five years of age, of
Shoreham, was lodged in Jail this morn
ing on a warrant charging him with the
murder of Miss Ida Fosburgh at Shoreham
on March 10 by poisoning.
In the jail tonight Jones absolutely re-
fused to answer any questions regarding
his arrest on suspicion of having caused
the death of the young woman. who was
engaged to marry Aldace vondette. who
was recently charged with having caused
her death and who. after being held a few
days, was released, the authorities being
satisfied that he was not implicated in the
affair. Nelson Jones is the son of Minor
Jones, for whom Miss Fosburgh worked as
a domestic at the time of her death.
When an investigation of the death was
being made Jones informed the authorities
that Miss Fosburgh had complained of Ill
ness and on Tuesday evening. March u.
she asked him to go to Shoreham post
office, a distance of about three miles, and
get a letter. He at first informed her that
he did not wish to go that distance just to
see if there was any mail, but she con-
tinued to urge him and insisted there was
a letter for her. She told him that II he
did not go she would go after 1T herself.

he drove to the postofice and found a white
envelope addressed TO the young woman.
He returned with the letter to Miss Fos-
burgh. He went to the barn, and he says
that ten minutes later when he returned
to the house with his father they heard
a cry from the young woman'S room. Upon
opening the door they found her apparently
dead.
When a physician arrived an hour or so
later, he said, the woman had apparently
died very suddenly. Near the bed was the
envelope which Jones said he took from the
was a scrap of paper in the wash bowl. A
few grains of white powder adhered TO the
paper and a glass containing a white sedi-
ment and a small amount of water stood
on the washstand.
The authorities believe that the death
of Miss Fosburgh was caused by poison
received in a letter through the mails.
