 In the Mentaime, Mrs. Wrinkle was studying the Lines and check ing of the Names of all Members who would not dare to throw her down. Mrs. Wrinkle could see her self on the Balcony giving an en- tirely new Interpretation of the Part. She had discovered certain Hidden Meanings in the Lines and she wanted to hand out the Im- mortal Hot Stuff in such a Way that Folks would forget all about Julia Marlowe and these other or dinary Actresses who were after the Coin, regardless of Art.
 The Stage Manager employed by the bold Amateurs was an Ex- Legft who had lost his Voice ask ing for Salary. He plucked up Courage and ventured to ask Mrs. Wrinkle if she didn't think she was a little too strong on the Measure ments to be gnlfsh Capulet-

Washington, March 15.-Dr. Charles
E. Hagner, for thirty years a we'll
known physician in this city and
member of one Of the oldest families
in this section, was yesterday held
for the action of the grand jury as the
result of an inquest over the body OF
a prematurely born baby of Mrs. Pc
ter Blair, found Wednesday alive and
doubled up in a shoe box, thrown into
a garbage can at the rear of the Hag-
ner residence. At the inquest col
ored woman pointed to DR.. Hagner as
the man whom she saw place the box
in the can. The latter admitted he was
the man and said he fully believed the
child was dead at the time. The ply
sician at the hospital where the child
was carried said the baby was alive
when received and the negro woman
testified that the child was srylng
when she found it. The coroner's jury
in it's verdict held that the child,
(which was born alive and lived sever
al hours, died from hemorrhage of the
brain, which might have been caused
during the premature birth, and that
DR.. Hagner, who attended at the birth,
was guilty Of inexcusable neglect"

According to the bill, Miss Patterson is

AND HOW BLOODY WORK
WAS DONE.

beaumont, Tex, March 15.-Develop-
mcnts in the murder case here indicate
that it will exceed in horror that of
the notorious Bender affair in Labette
county, Kan, thirty years ago. For
months mysterious disappearances of
people who have flocked here as a re-
suit OF the oil excitement have been
noted, and it is now believed that at
least fifty have completely disap-
peared. 1t is thought that not all of
these were murdered, but it is prob
able that large majority of them
were.
John Welsh, a white man who has
been implicated by allegation by Mat
tie Bennett, the negro leader of the
gang of robbers and murderers that
have been operating here, yesterday
was brought to Beaumont, having
been arrested at Houston on the
strength of the woman's confession.
Welsh denies completely in the muir
ders. He was an iron molder employed
in the foundry with Benjamin Pearson,
one of the murdered men.
Makes Horrible Confession.
Tn Jail yesterday the Bennett woman
talked freely to a reporter. She con-
fessed everything except direct murder
and went fully into the details Of the
plan pursued by the gang.
"The business has been going on for
six months" said she. 'The men
would go out to the saloons and street
corners and find men that had money.
They would bring them to my house,
and I and the other women would give
them beer with Knockout drops in It.
Then the men would either beat them
up there and rob them or take them
out into the hobo yard. I don't know
how many men I have drugged; too
many to remember, and all of them
We're robbed. I know I am safe in
Jail now, but if I ever get out they
will kill me if any of 'em are alive and
are out of the penitentiary then"
The Neches river, where five bodies
of supposed victims of the gang were
found, skirts the town of Beaumont.
In some places swamps run back.
Bodies thrown into the swamps stand
small chance of being found, as the
alligators would devour them.
