THE GRAVE CHARGE OF MURDER.

THE GRAVE CHARGE OF MURDER.
z a YYNDHAM left Carmen Pen
Wv" dleton at her hotel after
lingering long enough to
have conversation with
Paucho, who was as simple and direct,
as straightforward and honest then as
he was with Burr Pcndlcton the night
when he took him on horseback to tile
dueling ground.
Before leaving the hotel Craig in.
Structed him not on any account to
leave the apartments of his mistress,
and ut the desk down stairs he gave
explicit instructions that Carmen was
to be denied to all callers, no. matter
what name was given. After that he
felt easier, for now he also feared that
the enraged Mexican might attempt n
summary vengeance upon the sister Of
Burr pendlcton.
From there he went directly to the
district attorney, who, fortunately was
Il personal friend and had stood in the
same relation to Burr, and to him he
related the whole story in detail be-
hind closed doors.
He omitted nothing. He began at
the moment of his meeting with Burr
after his arrival from Mexico and told
Of every incident that had occurred
which could in any way relate to the
crime. lie graphically explained the
discovery Of the body, the consterna-
ton OF James, his own deep perplexity,
hut also the absolute certainty he felt
in his own mind Of the innocence Of
the<4lct. He related how he himself
when boy had passed many months
in Mexico and had witnessed the knife
throwing exhibitions that are frequent
ly held there; how 1t had occurred to
him that this Mexican might have
thrown the knife, and that when he
more infinitely examined the position
Of the body and the position Of the
knife the suspicion became a certainty.
Then he told how utterly hopeless

sage From King Edward and
u Call From Long.


GROTON, Mass. Feb. 12.-The con-
sensus Of reports from the sickroom
Of Theodore Roosevelt. Jr.. the eldest
son OF the plystdent. who since Thurs
day last has been Ill with pneumonia
at the GrOton School intirmary. tends
to show an Improvement, and his con-
ditioD is authoritatiyely stated to be
better than 1t was at the same time
yesterday. The crisis Of the disease,
however, is still to come. The president
and his wife both believe their son will
meet this crisis in good condition and,
passing it successfully, win recover.
The slight favorable turn in the dis
ease has greatly relieved the strain on
both Of them. Still, the reports issued
through Mr.. cortelyol, secretary to
the president. run between hope and
fear.
Yesterday was Il day Of anxiety for
all concerned. Beginning with the
morning, when the boy after an ad-
mlttedly hard night, was reported as
improved, although pleurisy In the
right lung was mentioned, this favora-
bic tendency was continued through
the noon statement. Then, at 2:41
o'clock In the afternoon 1t was stated
that the boys temperature had risen.
that it would probably remain high
and, If anything. increase a little TO-
ward evening This solnber tone SEEM
ell almost to nevtraize the mornings
encouraging notes.
The next report, at 6:3O In the even.
ing, showed that. Notwithstanding the
high temperature, the boy had more
than held his own all day and that his
condition was favorable. HopefuIness
was increased by an additional and
voluntary report on Mr.. Cortelyou's
part at s O'Clock that the lad was in
better condition than at the same time
Monday night. although he said there
had not been much change during the
day, meaning that the favorable condi-
ton of the morning had been practical
ly maintained.
The president spent the entire even
ing at the Gardner house.
The last sirkroom bulletin for the
day was given out at II o'clock Mr..
Cortelyou said that at that time every
indication was favorable for the boy,
but the fever had tluctuatetf some.
what, and it was impossible to tell just
when the crisis would come.
Ii seemed therefore as If the result
of the day had been to place the boy
OH Il somewhat higher scale toward re-
cOvery. A these reports were authori-
tative. and in addition there was u
CHEEKY interview with Secretary of the
Navy John ID. Long. after a hurried
visit Of courtesy to his chief, in which
he frankly said that the boy was bet
ter.
One interesting event of the day
was the receipt Of telegram from
ambassador rauncefote at Washing
ton, conveying King Edwards express
sion of sympathy for the president and
hope for the speedy recovery of his
son. The remarkable weather contrib.
uted not little to the cheerfulness of
the day, it being the sixth consecutive
day during which the sun has shOno
brightly from morning to night, while
the air has been always cool, but dry
and invgorating.

The teachers of the various school dis

a meeting in which the matter of salaries
paid for their services was discussed, de-
cided to postpone action to a joint meeting
to be held in this city on December 13 be-

alleged that the teachers in these districts
are very sadly underpaid, comparing the

meeting that this was not only the case
here, but all over the state, and that the
agitation OF the matter should be carried
