ling charge nearly two years ago, and
against whom two indictments for
grand larceny were found on September

locked up in the Tombs.
Haokett was president of the Me tropoli-
tan Trading company OF No. "a Wall
street, senior member Of the real estate
firm OF Haokett, Newman. Butler 81
Hagan, president OF the Young Men S
league. He is a man Of attractive per-
sonality and has at one time or another
gained the confidence OF some OF the
shrewdest and most conservative opera
tors in Wall street. On the advisory
committee of mis- Young Mems League
we're j. Frederick Kernochan, George
Wickersham, q. Q. Cuyler, Arthur Turn
bull and Beverly Chew. Whsn Hackett
was arrested on March II, 1899, these
men promptly fevered their connection
with him, and his league was dissolved.
Hackett was released on bail for 5000,
furnished by William ID. Pope. he sue
ceeded in delaying his trial by obtaining
postponement from time to time ard when
the case was finally ordered peremptori-
~ on the calendar, he failed to appear,
and his bail was ordered forfeited. The
original charge against Hackett was
the conversion to his own use OF 5000
worth OF Chesapeake 81 Ohio bonds, the
property of Mrs. Emma Butler. Magis-
trate Simms held HacKett tor the grand
jury and two separate indictments were
found against him

returned TO the city and resumed opera
lions In Wall street. His Young Mems
League was dead, hut be still preserved

cie-s, clergymen and others who oncs
had faith in him. Through the use Of
these he obtained positions OF trust in
which he had the handling OF large sums
OF money. He was for six months secre-
tary and a director in the Santa Emelis

BROTHER ARRESTED.
Possible Solution of the Murder sf
May L. Fosburg.

Pittsburg, Mass, January 26.-Robert
S. Fosburg was placed under arrest here
this forenoon, charged with manslaugh-
ter in causing tho death of Miss May l..
Fosburg, daughter of a prominent Buff
falo, n. Y. contractor here on August 20,
1900. The prisoner, who is brother of
the victim, was indicted at the recent
sitting of the Berkshire county grand
jury. Tho arrest, while not altogether
unexpected in some quarters, was sur
prise TO the citizens at large. many of
whom accepted the theory prevalent at
the time of the murder, that Miss Fos-
burg had been shot by burglars.
After the arrest it was decided to fix
bail at $4,000. The authorities are very
reticent in the case.
Young Fosburg's bail was later re-
duced to S12, 900 at the request of friends,
but even this amount has not been Sc
cured.
1t develops tibet at the coroners in
quest held on the death of Mary l..
Fosburg, which has never been closed as
far as is known Miss Bertha Sheldon, of
Providence, r. J., who was at the house
on the night of the murder, failed to put
in an appearance. Every other person
who was in the house that night was
summoned to appear at the inquest. The
murder is supposed to have occurred
about a. M. and about 8 o'clock that
same morning, Miss Sheldon left for her
home. Since then every effort has
failed to bring her here to testify at the
inquest, as she refused to obey the sum
mons and she could not be forced to
come from another State to testify
against her wish. 1t was on this ac-
count that the inquest was held open so
long. She is the only one whose story
as far as is known, has not been secured.
1t is intimated that she will be here at
Fosburg's trial and that her testimony
will have decided bearing upon the
outcome.

KILLED HIS FRIEND.
Fatal Results of Friendly Boxing
Match I'm Boston,

Cambridge, Mass January 26.-Curtis
l.. Crane of Brookline, was accidentally
killed during boxing match with his
closest friend, George X. Ainsworth,
lso OF Brooklins, in the latters' room In
Craigie, Harvard college, this afternoon.
There was a number of Harvard students
present at the time, indulging in friend
Iy matcheA and the Knockout blow was
entirely unexpected. The circumstances
are best explained by the statement made
by Ainsworth after the unfortunate in
oident, 1t is as follows:
AT s. So this afternoon l was spsrrlng
with MIR. Crane. We had SPARED about
three minutes when 1 touched Mr.. Crane
with the back OF my glove upon the face.
He sank back against the mantleDiece
and to the hearth. He was unconscious.
A doctor was sent for and arrived in
eight minutes. We worked on him for
physician arrived. Both doctors pro-
nounced him dead. The medic ii examiner
was sent for aud the polics were notified.
(Signed) &c gorge X. Ainsworth."
MIR. Ainsworth is sophomore in the
Lawrence scientific school. MIR. Crane
was not student, but lived next door
to Ainsworth In Brookline.
Those present In the room Mt the time
were George NJ. Leonard, b. y. Lanoey
and X, +. CLARK, room-nlates OF Aims
worth, and John w. Foster. They all
agree in saying that the blow struck by
Ainsworth was not a heavy one and in
his delivery 1t would not have sutficed
even to have knocked Crane out. DIR.
Marshall Ii. Bailey, the college physician,
who was first called, said that as far as
he could tell, Cranes death might have
resulted from other CAUSES than the
blow. He said there was no external
sign of violence and that Crane might
have died from heart disease. He said
he arrived sight minutes after the ao,i-
dent and Crane was already dead. 1t was
his opinion that Crane must have
struck the mantlepiece hard enough to
have cause an injury. but this cannot
be determined until the sutcnsy whicn
will bs held tomorrow morning DIR. W.
ID. Swan, the second doctor to arrive,
said he found that Crane was dead.
Those in the room had worked over him
for fully half an hour and there was
nothing to chow from superficial exami-
nation of the body the cause or death.
Mr.. Ainsworth feels very badly over
the accident, especially as Crane was
his closest friend out of the college. The
police will take no action until the au-
topsy is announced.
Soon after the fact of the accident had
been noised about college, 1t was
thought that the victim was Harvard
freshman coming from Chicago, Of the
same name.
