West Point, N. r., January 1S-The Con- gressional committee probed deep into ca det fighting traditions today. Cadet Lynch of New York was thoroughly examined by the committeeman, as he is looked upon as the authority on fighting at the academy. When General Dick began to question he became argumentative and shook his finger at the chairman several times when parry ing some of the generals mild reproofs.
 At times he leaned across the table which separated him from the chairmans table while he spoke in an insolent manner to the general. He upheld the West Point fighting code and declared that he would fight any man of his size and weight and said that any man who would not do likewise was not fit to join the army General Dick exhibited a good deal of forebearance, but finally gave up his questioning in unconcealed dis gust, after he had given the "fistic expert a sound piece of advice.
 For the first time during the investigation 1t was shown today that there are cadets in the first class who from the time they came here as plebes have been opposed to hazing and fighting. Cadet Clarke of Illi- nois testified to this and said that these practices should be abolished. He was com plimented by MT. Driggs, who said that Clark was a credit to the academy
 Cadet Lynch on the Code.
 Cadet Lynch said the 'scrapping com mittee had refused on three occasions to allow fourth class men to be called out on the grounds that the offenses were not of sufficient gravity.
 "When man is called out by the com mittee can he get out of ighting?" asked the chairman.
 "Yes, sir, he can simply refuse to go into it," replied the witness
 General Dick shook his finger at the wit ness and said slowly: Don't you know that if he did so he would be out and ostracised by the whole corps?"
 'Yes, sir said the witness in an argument ative tone, at the same time shaking his finger at the general" and rightly so. The man who would refuse to fight a man of his own size and weight has no business in the army. Give me a man of my own size and weight and I'll fight him." said Lynch.
 The witness went on to tell of fighting with either fists or weapons and said the French code gave man a chance of de- lending his honor.
 General Dick quietly reminded the young man that the United States authorities had not sent him to France for his military education
 Cadet Meyers Testimony.
 Cadet Meyer of Arkansas said he had no recollection of calling former Cadet Albert a Jew.
 "If you asked Cadet Albert what his na- tionality was and he answered that he was an American, what would you do?"
 q would tell him that he was Jew"

New York, January 1S.-Walter c. Mc- Allister, Andrew J. Campbell and William Death, three of the four persons indicted for the murder of Jennie Bosschieter, mill girl of Paterson, N. J., who was mur- dered on the night of October IS last, were tonight adjudged guilty of murder in the second degree, for which. according to the New Jersey law, the maximum penalty is thirty years imprisonment. The jury took fourteen ballots. When they filed into the court room the prisoners appeared very nervous.
 McAllister seemed more excited than any of the others. He sat biting his lips. Campbell thrust his hands into his trous- er's pockets and clinched his fists in them Death looked anxiously about the court room for moment and thea assumed the same attitude as Can'Dbell.
 When the verdict was announced the prisoners evinced neither elation nor re- lief.
 Judge Dixon thanked the s.lry and said he believed the verdict just one.
 Prosecutor Emley's Address.
 Public Prosecutor Finley, who delivered the final address for the State, made a powerful argument. After alluding to the enormity of the crime charged he attacked the testimony the defendants gave on the witness stand. Their meeting with Jennie Bosschieter, he said, was no accident, and he asked why those with whom McAllister sand he and she had an appointment for the evening of October IS, which was not kept, had not come forward to support the testimony of the accused. The engage ment, MT. Finley asserted, was at Saal's saloon, and had for it's purpose as Campbell

had put it, of having good time" with the girl now dead
 Mir Emley said, although 1t has been stated the girl was unable to get a milk punch which she had ordered in the sa- loon because there was no milk there, still there is testimony to show that McAllister drank milk and seltZer and when absinthe was taken into the room there was also glass of milk on the same tray and that McAllister carried the tray. It is signifi- cant coincidence that when McAllster wanted a hack he found the willing ear of Kerr at the phone at Hosguen's saloon, Kerr evidently awaiting such work. It IS more than a coincidence that all of such should happened as it did with the circle complete.
 Kerr said nothing about the forgotten engagement on the bridge neither did he ask McAllster where he had been. He simply told the hackman which door of Seals saloon to go to. McAllister ordered the hack, paid for the drinks and ordered champagne. He was the leader.
 MT. Finley pointed out alleged inconsist- encies of the story of the Schulthorpe hack as defined on the witness stand and scoffed at the idea that the girl was taken riding in order that fresh air might revive her. If their purpose was humane why was not the girl put in the care of Mrs. Saal in- stead of being driven away In a hack? Why, when Lees hotel was reached and the girl was very i'll, was not the house aroused to afford her assistance?
 The scenes at the roadside and at the brook were recalled and the fact brought to the jury's attention that there had been no proof presented by the accused as there might have been that the girl had vomited in Campbelfs handkerchief. Comment was also passed upon the behavior of the accused men when Dr. Townsend told them that the girl was dead and the fact that they threw her comb and other personal effects into the river when they left her corps at the side of the road.

The governor declined to state his

It is we'll understood among politi-
clans here that the president has def

Shaw for the treasury portfolio. But

The impression prevails that Gov.

cured a good start and might have
got away.
In the coat belonging to Kerfuss
hanging in the hotel kitchen was
found 80 calibre revolver and the
the other help of the house say the
gun has been found in q bundle Of
sheets, this indicating that he was
on the look out for the officers. It
is reported that he said, he had no
suspicion of officers when Mr.. Doc
little called him into the parlor and
that if they had come to the kitchen
after him he would have given them
a merry time.
The Advance interviwed the girl
Tuesday morning and ascertained
the following. Her name is Blick.
Her parents were farmers, moving
to town, Hays City, where, while
out walking one ev ening was intro
duced to Kerfuss on the street by
gentleman in company with her Sis
tors and afterwards was frequently
in company with him. Knew
when he was arrested and in Jail.
Says they were married about two
months CO. She has two sisters and
six brothers. Her parents are alive.
says Kerfuss told her not to tell
anything to anyone. He declines to
talk about himself but says he &C.
complished what he wanted to with
the neck yoke, thought he would
cause little excitement by attempt
ing to get away. If he had had a
gun or chance they would not
have caught him go easy. Thought
Officer Roshons was after him one
night before when he was in saloon
so he went out the back door. He
will not return to Kansas without
requisition papers which have been
wired for. Has not had counsel but
requested Attorney Parsons DO sent

to him.
It now develops that tho couple
want to get married here while in
Jail, stating that she is enceinte, bu
this action is not permissible at
this time. She refused to go with
officer McNair when he placed her
under arrest at the hotel, but Frank
was equal to the occasion go he pick
ed her up bodily and carried her
down stairs she consenting to walk
from the hotel to the jail.
At Ellsworth it was found where
they had sold horse, buggy, robes
and two guns. The sheriff from
Kansas says, the. guns were stolen
from a hardware store by cutting the
window glass then taking them out
through the hole. The horses was
also stolen and the buggy was given
them to assist them in getting out
of town. He has known them since
they were children. The girl was
considered frivolous. She viii be-
tken back for perjury, in swearing
they were married.
Much credit is due, Officers Nc
Nair and Roshon, and ". II. Blair
for the capture.
Kerfuss is considered the most dee-
perate character known to have.
been in town for years..
The question now is, who will get
the reward. According to the
schley- Sampson deal, the sherins
will. The reward is very liberal
one as it only requires his arrest and
in any Jail. The officers
and men who took active part are
certainly entitled to a share of it !.
