AN ENOCH ARDEN
 IN AUSTRALIA Woman Thought Husband Dead and Married Again.
WAS PRISONER TWO YEARS
He Hired Private Detective, Who Told Him Ills Wife Was Dead
 and He Married Again.
 Pcads Like Rer ance.

New York, March 1s = After twelve years Imprisonment among the Bushmen of Australia Joseph J. CHI. son of the late Thomas Gill, well-known Brooklyn manufacturer, has been heard from by his family, who had mourned him as dead
 Gill left home in 1886 and in 1893 his wife believing him dead, married again. On August IS, 1886, Joseph Gill sailed from New York for Australia, where he had extensive mining interests. The mines were situated about 800 miles from Syd- noy and Gill expected to be gone two or three years, He left behind a wife and two childre ren-boys of and years re- spoctively
 For two years letters were received regularly. His mining interests were prospecting and he hoped soon to return to the United States, he wrote in his last letter
 A period in which no tidings were re- ceived from Gtf followed, and then came letter from the American consul at Syd- ney, N s. w, stating that Joseph Gill; a wealthy mine operator, and four com panions had been ambushed and killed by Australian Bushmen in Australia not far from the mines which the Brooklyn man controlled. This was the last heard from Gill until the news of Imprisonment, which has just been received. It came in the form of a letter to Inspector Mo Laughiin of the Brooklyn police force. The letter was dated Dagupan, Northern Iluzon, Philippine Islands. It was written In November, 1901. and addressed to the chief of police, and says:
 Tn 1886 I left my happy home in Brook lyn for Australia, where I was held a captive in the interior by Bushmen until two years ago. I then came to these isl- ands and entered the campaign with the Maccabee scouts. Prior to Aguinaldo's capture I was severely wounded and l am afraid l am cripple for life. l am now working my way back to Sydney, Australia to my wife and children"
 Gill Is said to have attempted to secure information concerning his family. The private detective whom he is said to have employed reported that his wife was dead and soon afterward Gill married a Sydney woman. Gills love for adventure led him 10 enlist in the Philippine service.

TESTIMONY ENDS
 IN THE FIFE CASE <. Els Testimony at Coroner's Inquest Is Ruled Out MRS. FIFE CREATES SCENE Rose to Contradict Statements of Wit ness-Stran Has Told Heavily
 On Her and the Father Is
 Broken Down.
MRS. FIFE CREATES SCENE

Savannah, Mo-, March 19.-In the trial of Stewart Fife for the mysterious mur- der of Frank w. Richardson, the instruc- tions were given at the night session of court and the arguments of the attorneys were commenced. The instructions call for verdict of murder in the first or second degree or acquittal. The defense tried to get instructions for murder in the first degree alone.
 Prosecuting Attorney Roohor opened for the state, and reviewed the evidence by which Fife was traced in his move ments the night of the Richardson trage- dy.
 Jule Sanderson for the defendant made the point that the states evidence had not placed Fife nearer to the Richard son house than Kings corner on the night of the murder. Sanderson charged that the revolver found by the Kickoff boy had been placed under the culvert for purpose. He defended the character of Mrs. Richardson throughout his argu- ment, devoting as much time to her de- fense as to that of Fife.
 Depend on Alibi.
 The defense bases Flies alibi upon the eV1QenCe or the witnesses WnO Sd1u they saw him about the city and other places near the square at about the time of the murder. MT. Sanderson went over the testimony carefully. The arguments will be resumed tomorrow.
 The defense gained an important point when Judge Burns ruled out Flies testi mony at the coroner's inquest. The wit nesses for the defense and Fife himself have contradicted his evidence before thu coroner, and 1t was a blow to the pros eoution when 1t was ruled out
 There was a scene during the morning when Flies mother arose with exclama tions contradictory to the witness on tho stand. The strain on Mrs. Fife has beer very great. The father of the prisoner has already broken down under it.
 Not at the Bowling Alley.
 O. H. Davis, testifying for the state said that Fife was not at the bowling al. ley on the night of the murder, thus con- tradicting Fife. Otis Hurley testified that Sam Waldron, the negro janitor at the Owl Club. who had testified for the de- fense that he saw Fife in the club rooms was helping him sweep out a store where he was employed at the time Richardson was killed.
 Fife was recalled and asked if in con- versation with Hurley at the depot on the night of the murder, he had told Hur- ley he had been unfriendly with Richard. son, and had made up with him that day Fife said he did not recall having been Hurley, and he was not questioned fur. ther.

the officers, and the men speak in under tones. Some of them have been working with Mr. Walton for nearly fifteen years. and none bore him anything other than love and respect.
 Outside of the police force, citizens without exception are shocked at the un- timely end of the brave policeman. They knew him as a deacon in the Third Pres byterian church and a Christian gentle man. Among the mourners are scores of children. He was known and loved by more children than any policeman on the force.
 M. Walton bore the reputation of being one of the lkindest-hearted and best men on the force. Chief of Police Austin said last night he had lost a man whose place would be hard to fill.
 Captain Wier who was the next man elected on the police force after Police man Walton, said
 T went on the force three months after MT. Walton and have been very intimate with him. ever since. He was good man and fine officer, and was looked on by the rank and file of the police depart ment in the light of their father. He was ever ready to assist an officer and to give good advice to an erring policeman or a new man. He was kind and generous to everybody, and l suppose more children knew and loved him than any other po- liceman on the force"
 A beautiful floral design will be the tribute of MT. Waltons comrades at the funeral this afternoon.
 MORRIS AVENUE FATAL.
 Policeman Walton is the second officer to be killed and the third to be shot on Morris avenue between Eigth and Ninth streets. About five years ago Policeman William G. Batson was shot and killed by negro within fifty feet of where Po- llceman Walton was murdered. He killed the negro as he received the wound which proved fatal to him four days afterwards.
 Two years ago Policeman Martin Eagan went to arrest three negroes in this quarter. They attacked him and one shot him through the arm. The negro escaped, but was located afterwards and a posse sent after him. He started to run when they came up on him and they filled him full of balls from Winchester rifles and brought his body back to Birming- ham on a handcar
 Early in the morning of March 2S, 1900, Policemen Kirkley and Adams were nor tally wounded by the safe blowers, Miller and Duncan. They had arrested the men and were carrying them to jail when the shooting occurred.
 HIS LAST ARREST.
 Oscar Gressum, negro, was the last man arrested by Policeman Walton be- fore he was killed Tuesday night. He was charged with stealing a gold watch, sev- eral dollars and a football Policeman Jordan was telephoned for and worked on the case for a while, but left it to Policemen Walton and Jones' who recovered a portion of the stolen property. The negro was placed in the l patrol wagon, just about 20 minutes be- 1 fore the fatal shooting took place.

PoPULlSTS WAKE UP.
Meeting of State Committee May Soon
 Be Held.

It is said that MT. N. B. Spears, chair man of the state executive committee of the Populite party, will be asked by mem- bers of that committee to call a meeting in Birmingham for some date early in May.
 The Populite party had to be reckoned with a few years ago. but it has very little strength now. It is not believed that 1t will put out a state ticket. The majority of Populites are inclined to of- ficeholding, it is said, with that wing of the Democratic party which opposed the ratification of the new constitution.
