LOOKS BAD FOR HUNTER
OF MURDERED MAN.
Father of Walbridge Gives Damaging
Testimony Before Cor
oner's Jury.

Philipsburg, Mont, Nov. 13.-SloWly
but surely the coils seem to be tight
ening around Joseph Carlyle Hunter,
who is under arrest here for the al
legged murder of his s%on-in-law, Hiram
Otis Walbridge. Yesterday the father
of Walbridge and the brother of the
murdered man arrived in the city and
gave their testimony before the cor
oner's jury, which is investigating the
death. Both positively identified the
clothing found a the skeleton as
belonging to Walbridge, and also test
flied that Hunter had made threats
against the young mans life.
Mr.. Walbridge, ST., said that the
last time he had seen his son alive
was about April 1, 1900. The son was
then travelling through the country
with Hunter, Mrs. Walbridge and the
two sons of Hunter. The next he
heard about him was when Mrs. Wal
bridge wrote him from Great Falls
that Otis vas missing and that the
officers at Philipsburg believed that he
had been murdered. She merely said
that Hunter and her husband had
gone out hunting and Hunter return
ed to camp alone. He was positive
in the identifications of the clothing
worn by his son and equally positive
that the clothing found near the skele-
ton was the same. His son, he said,
always wore a handkerchief around
his neck. Asked as to the threats
made against his son by Hunter, the
witness said that the trouble arose
over his marriage to the girl. His
son had expressed fear of Hunter.
Six days before the sons death he had
been married, Hunter giving his con-
sent. The younger Walbridge gave
similar testimony.

LETTER WRITTEN BY FAMOUS
PIRATE CHIEF.
OF HIDDEN WEALTH
Gives Directions for Finding It and
Instructions to Secure Same
at Once.

Providence, R. l., Nov. ia letter
200 years old from Captain Kidd, the
notorious pirate chief, to John Ballet,
Esq, Of New York, which from the
evidence contained in it, is believed
to be genuine, by those to whom it
has come as an heirloom, has been
deposited for safe keeping, with other
papers, in the Office of the record com
missioners Of this city.
The letter is the property of Ed
ward Field, clerk of the municipal
court Of Providence, an historian, a
descendent of the Warner family
which was among the first to settle in
what is now the town of Warwick.
1t was found among the family pa
pers.
Apparently the communication was
written after the capture of Captain
Kidd. 1t is dated Boston, 1901, and it
says in part:
81 fear we are in a bad situation.
WE are LdhSu AOl plldCSo dAu yOu

get this; there is no one I can depend
upon If l do not see you I will tell

led on xxx island in Boston harbor
on the xxx island in two chest con-
tanning from $4,000 pounds sterl-
ing to 10000 pounds sterling in
money, jewels and diamonds. They
are buried about four feet deep with
a fiat stone on them and a pile of
stone near by. There is no one that
knows where it is but me now living.
Tits about xxx up the hillside. Don't
fail to come to me as 500 as you get
this. If l am gone to England be
there as soon as possible. Secure the
money and diamonds before you come
as money will do a great deal for us"
The letters contain much more mat
ter and refers to many incidents which
have been found to be historically
correct. The words which would tell
exactly where the treasure was bur-
led are omitted and their places are
taken by crosses. 1t is considered
likely that along with the letter went
another writing in which was given
the key to the omitted portions.
