seventeen, twelve, and ten years, re-
spectively, daughters of Thomas Gibson,
prosperous negro farmer, were killed,
and one of them was the victim of a
criminal assault at their home near
Wynne, Ark, Tuesday. The murders
occurred while Gibson, the father was
away from home attending circus,
leaving the three girls alone in the house.
Upon his return he found the bodies OF
two of the girls with their heads crashed,
while the body of the third lay in the
yard terribly mutiated. The girl had
been subjected to the most atrocious in
dignities. Posses, composed of both
blacks and whites, were formed, and
David Cross, an old negro, was arrested.
Cross denied all knowledge Of the crime,
but finally confessed that he had wit
messed the killing. and said that negro
named Johnson was the guilty man.

CHOKEO AND ROBBED

in the EARLY Morning and
Parted from His Money
One Arrest Is Made.

Martin Jurgensen. n shipping master
for the American Steamship line, was
tho victim of garroting hlghwaymen in
CITY Hall Park early this morning, a
half block from the City Hall Police
Station and across Park Row from the
Brooklyn Bridge entrance.
The assault and robbery is considered
among the most desperate on the police
records. ~Jurgensen was crossing through
City Hall Park on the way to his home
In Bay Fifteenth street. Bath Beach. and
while In front OF the old Hall of
Records. now the Registers Office. he
was stopped by three men. who asked
him:
Did you hear whether Devery was
elected?"
He did not have time to reply. One
OF the thugs got his hooked elbow
around Jurgensen's neck and. with his
knee to his back. bent him over. An
other held his arms while the third hur.
riedly searched his pockets and took
from them more than $50. Then they
released him and ran back through the
park.
Jurgensen called for hclp and Police,
man George Lauterborn, standing In the
Bridge entrance, ran across and cap,

Stephen Swaziland, the girls father,
had complained in court that his wife,
who is deaf and dumb and weak-mind-

company. The girl is sixteen years OF
age and very pretty. Magistrate Manner
issued a simmons for the appearance OF
the girl in court and Sheedy was sent
to serve 1t.
While he was taking the girl from the
house Mrs. Swaziland attacked him first
with a club and then with the axe.

actfrs gather together and talk about
everything under the sun except the
business of the play. The dialogue Is
~studiously smart" and many OF the
epigrams have seen better days.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell struggled herd
ically with Aunt JEANNE, but EVEN her
great and peculiar gifts could not make
such a character resemble anything
alive, and the play was an unfortunate
choice for the opening OF her second
season in New York.
John Blair, as Lord Lindheld, played
the Sappho scene to what Mr.. Devery
would call the limit" and otherwise
was extremely STACEY. Charles Bryant.
as Aunt Jeannie's colorless lover, was
handsome and unobjectionable. Mr.. r.
c.. Herr, with an Irritating falsetto
voice. won much applause in a comedy
role, Mr.. Vaughan CHASER had most OF
the eplgrams to deliver. and didn't do II
brightly. The female parts, none OF
them important. were played lifelessly
by Mrs. Isabel Waldron, Miss Rose
Dupre. Miss Nora Greenlaw and Miss
Amy Lamborn.
The audience was lukewarm and at
moments inclined to irreverence.
