cation of the charges of brutal hazing
arising out of the death of former
Cadet Oscar L. Booz, by the court Of
inquiry appointed by the secretary Of

London, Dec. 29-Major General
Sir Henry Colville, whose resignation
has been demanded by the war Office,
but who refuses to resign, and comes
to England from Gibraltar, arrived at
Plymouth today. He has come to de-
mand trial by court martial to es-
tablish the responsibility for the yeo-
manry disaster at Lindley last May,
and has made counter strike at the
war Office in 5000 word statement,
which he has given to the press. He
says he has come home to demand a
free inquiry and does not intend to
be made a scapegoat for the sake of
the staff.
He AYERS that the Lindley disaster
could never have happened had he
been informed of Lord Roberts inten-
tions. The primary cause of the sur
render, he says, was the insufficient
information given by the headquarters
staff to Colonel Spragge and himself,
and he declines to accept the blame.
He lays out the facts and blames
others.
General Colville and his mutual
friends in and out of the army are
thus beginning campaign against the
new secretary of state for war, VIM.

Omaha Police Satisfied That Grove Was
One of Abductors.

One of Abductors.
Omaha, Dec. 28-Daniel Burris to-
day positively identified at Pacific
Junction, Ia, the pony left there
mysteriously in the barn of Mrs.
Mack the day following the Cudahy
abduction, as one he sold to man
answering the description of Pat
Grove, few days before the occur
renee of that event.
Mrs. Thomas B. Cooper, married
daughter of Burris, was today shown
a collection Of 25 photographs taken
from the rogues' gallery and asked to
select, if she could, one or more
which resembled the ''light'' man
who called to buy the pony. She
picked out two photographs of Pat
Grove.
Mrs Cooper is the fifth person who
saw this man and who has identified
him with the likeness of Grove, and
the police now feel sure that he is one
Of the men wanted. They have not
been able, however, to get a clue to
the identity Of the clark man as
sociated in the crime.
The detectives are now very anxious
to locate Lizzie Burns. who is alleged
to have beer an intimate friend of
Grove. The Burns woman was en-
ployed at hotels in South Omaha up

SENSATIONS CREATED AT RICH
ARDsoN INQUEST.
LOOKS BAD FOR coLDIE
Testimony Tends to Connect Woman
with Murder of Million
aire Merchant.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Dec. 28-Two sem
sations resulted today from the evil
dence adduced at the inquest over the
murder of Frank O. Richardson, the
millionaire merchant, who was shot
down in his home at Savannah,
Christmas eve.
The first was the establishment Of
the probable innocence Of the business
partner of the murdered man, whose
guilt appeared certain, and the second
was probably the fixing of the respon-
sibility for the crime on a woman and
her adviser, a travelling man, who al Q
alleged to have blackmailed deceased
out of various sums Of money, cover
ing period of almost year.
Mrs. Richardson will take the
stand tomorrow.
Charles Stanton, superintendent of
the electric light station, testified that
Richardson was much afraid of Goldie
Whitehead, a young woman who re-
sided at Stanberry, Mo-, with whom
Richardson had been on intimate
terms ana who appeared to be hound
ing him for money. The day before
the murder Richardson had told him
he had given $50 to travelling man
to give to Goldie, and that the travel
ing man had kept half of the money.
Stanton had talked with the White
head woman after the murder and she
had said she was mot afraid of them
ever getting her for the crime.
Sensational evidence is expected to-
morrow.
