OF HIS DEATH
HUGH TEvIS SUCCUMBED TO Eff
FORTS OF AN OPERATION
FOR APPENDICITIS.
Mrs. Tevis Sails from Yokohama, ia
pan, Today, With the Body of Her
Husband-It Will Be Remembered
Careless Attendant at Marriage
Feast.

Mr.. Hugh Tevis of California, whose
sudden death at Yokohama while on
his wedding trip with his bride, former
ly Miss Cornelia Baxter of Denver,
startled not only Denver, says the
Times. but the entire west. succumbed
June 6 to the effects of an operation
for appendicitis.
Such was the information contained
in a cable message received his morn
ing by Ex-Governor George w. Baxter
from his daughter. the sorely stricken
widow whose happiness lasted only
from April 10 to the time of the mortal
attack.
The c%ablegram further stated that
Mrs. Tevis would sail from Yokohama
for San Francisco tomorrow on the
steamship Doric with the body of her
husband.
This was the first definite news Mr..
Baxter had had of the cause of the
death of his ~son-in-law, though he had
tried to reach his daughter through
the state department at Washington
and by personal cablegrams.
Many people have commented since
the announcement of Mr.. Tevis' death
on the strange fact hat the brides
cake at the wedding was broken by
a careless attendant. and have dwelt
on the prediction made at the time that
the mishap meant death within a year.

Mount Holly IN. j. Letter.
The prelude to what will probably
prove one of the most interesting muir
der trials in the history of this state
was written during this week. when
Mrs. Mabel Haines of D~elancO was
held after a preliminary hearing here
for the action of the grand jury. The
charges against her are for O~fienses
so cruel and inhuman. including the
deliberate murder of a helpless child.
hat the case will have a wide public
ity.
Mrs. Haines is a young and not I'M
prepossessing woman and has stood
high in the estimation of the people of
Delanco. She is the second wife of
Howard Haines. the first wife having
died q few years ago, leaving a baby
girl. ~GweEdolin, after her. 1t is for

finds herself held for the grand jury.
The ChiId's Death.
A short time ago GwendOlin died.
The day of her death Mrs. Haines con-
suited a physician at his office, tell
ing him that the child had a cold.
having obtained some aconite pellets
Mrs. Haines went home, but soon re-
turned to the doctors Office and said
that Gwendolin had commissions. When
the physician reached tne Haines
home he found the child on the floor
dead. The little one was cut and
bruised about the head, and its nose
was crushed in. Mrs. Haines stated
that the injuries were old ones. but
the physician, having his suspicious
aroused, refused to issue a burial per-
nit. He thought it strange that he
had not been told about the injuries
when Mrs. Haines visited him, nor
been made acquainted with the fact
that the child, according to the step
mothers statements, had been subject
to commissions.

say during the meal, and only the ele-

HUNTING SNAKES.
A PAYING INDUSTRY. BUT NOT
AN INVITING ONE.
D0nth Carolina Swamps a Paradise for
Berpents and Hunters How the
Former Are Ragged High Priced
Rattlers.



The prices of snakes are booming. A
few years Z a diamond-backed snake
would not have brought 5 cents from
any dealer in reptiles. Today a good
sized rattlesnake is worth $40 at least.
This increase in the value of snakes
is due in part to the demand for them
by naturalists, who wish to study
them. but more particularly to physi-
clans who wish to experiment with
their poisons. The later compare the
effects of these ~poisons upon the hui
man system with the effects of tox-
ines produced by the bacilli of various
diseases. In this manner they hope to
discover not only an antidote for snake
bite, but an a%ntitoxine for swamp fe-
vers and dozens of other ills that flesh
is heir to. DR.. Weir Mitchell, author
and scientist, has at times as many as
l 900 snakes in his laboratory.
Our Poisonous Snakes.
For various reasons poisonous
snakes are much less common than
they were at one time. Still there are
enough to make things interesting in
many localities. In western Texas
ranchers' families living in sod huts
look under the bed daily for prairie
rattlers, and only sleep secure under
a mosquito net canopy. The poison
Gus species of snakes in the United
States are the RATHER, c%opperhead, O
casin. and coral snake. The first three
belong all to the same family-the era
talidae-and their poisons. so far as
known, are similar. The coral or har-
lequin snake is found only in the
south, and its venom very much re-
sembles that of the East Indian cob
ra. He is brightly banded, small,
harmless looking, but very vicious. No
certain remedy is known for the bite
of any of these snakes. Whisky and
~strychnine, given in doses large enough
often to produce commissions, are usu-
ally most effective. Very much de-

planned the cuts to him by saying that
falls which Gwendolin had during her
commissions. 81 would not harm the
child she said to the coroner, for
l love her dearly" The prom grant
ed the permit and the child was in
tered.
And then arose a lot of gossip about
the cruelty with which the stepmOther
had treated G%wendolin. These stor-
les reached the coroner's ears and he
issued orders for the exhuming of the
body and the necessary analysis. The
result sent a shock of horror through
the community and people are still
talking of the sickening story. as it
unfolded itself at the preliminary ex-
animation here.
Arsenic In the m
DR.. Beringer, of Camden, who made
the chemical analysis, testified that
arsenic in the child's stomach, more
than enough to cause death. and it is
positively known that the fluid used
by the undertaken who embalmed the
body contained no poison.
Other physicians who examined the
bruises on the head of the child de-
clared hat they were sufficient to
cause meningitis and hat it was this
which caused death. The arsenic,
they said, was also sufficient to have
killed the child.
Several witnesses testified to the
cruel treatment visited upon Gwendo-
lin. One neighbor said that often at
night she had heard the sobs Of the
child and the sound of the blows
which Mrs. Haines was inficting on
1t. But the most damaging evidence
in this regard was given by Nellie
Richards, a former servant in Mrs.
Haines' employ. She said that Mrs.
Haines had a bitter feeling against
the child's dead mother and often
stated that If 1t lived it should never
hear her name. According to this wit
ness Mrs. Haines used to bang the
child's head against the floor. She
used to beat it at least three times a
day and then lock it in a dark closet.
At times ~Gwendolin's hands were tied
behind her back and she was made
to stand in a corner until she fell to
the floor unconscious. On one occa-
sion Mrs. Haines while giving it a
bath held its head under the water I'M
til it was nearly drowned.
The prosecution has more damag-
ing evidence than that adduced at the
preliminary hearing, but has held it
In reserve to be used before the grand
Jury and at the trial.
