Series of Crimes are Put to Death by

NEW YORK, April "a cable to the
Sun from London says: The Morning
Leader prints a long story on the au-
thority of an unnamed member of the

which Lieutenant Hancock, one of the
Australian officers recently put to death
for murder i'm South Africa. was guilty
of number of WantOm murders of ma

an unnamed Captain, We're implicated
in the crimes.
According to the Leaders informant.

detachment of carbineers i'm the wild,

as shooting natives for sport. When the
officers had a spite against man i'm the
carbineers he would send him to scout
on the right flank and he rarely re-

When the officers learned that ten

Lieutenant Hancock caused them to be

TUNNEL DISASTER
CREW Is CLEARED
Blame Fixed by Coroner's Jury on
the New York Central.

New York. Jan. 24.-The coroners in
yestigation into the causes of the re-
cent disaster in the New York Central
railroad tunnel was brought to a close
Tonight when the jury, after being out
three hours and five minutes, returned
verdict completely generating John
NJ. Wisker and L. @. F'yler, the crew of
tic engine that crashed into the rear
end of the train, causing the death of
seventeen people. The verdict places
the blame for the conditions leading
to the accident on the officials of the
road. Both Wisker and Fyler were inn
rl"diately discharged from custody.
After reciting the details of the acci-
dent and generating the train crew.
tie verdict continues:
We further find a faulty manage
nlent on the part of the officials of the
New York Central road and we hold the
said officials responsible for the reason
that during the past ten years the said
CficialS have been repeatedly warned
ny their locomotive engineers and other
employees of the dangerous conditions
existing in the said tunnel, imperilinS
the lives of thousands of passengers,
and they failed to remedy said condi-
tons; and also fer the reason that GER
tain improvements in the way of both
visible and audible signals could have
been installed and the disaster thereby
have been avoided; and for the further
reason that no regulation of speed at
which trains should have run in the
said tunnel has been enforced, thereby
allowing engineers to exercise their
own discretion

DEFENDANTS STORY
OF HUSBANDS DEATH
Mrs. Richardson Amid Sobs and Tears
Tells How He Died.

PlattSburg. Mo, Jan. 2i.-Between
sobs, Mrs. Addie r. Richardson today
made her own defense of the charge of
having killed her husband, Frank w.
Richardson, who was murdered at their
home at Savannah the night before
Christmas in 1900. She told how she
had remained at home alone to fix u
Christmas tree for the children; how
when she heard her husband approach
ing, she turned the light low and pre-
pared to surprise him when he should
enter; how the footsteps of two peo-
pie had been heard, and a moment
later the cry. Has it come to this -
and then the shot was fired in the dark
ness that ended Richardson's life.
With emphasis she denied all knowl-
edge of the murder and with a snap re-
futed the insinuatiOns that her conduct
with Stewart Fife, clerk in her hus-
bands store, and now awaiting trial
himself for completely in the crime. had
been anything else but proper. She told
how her husband. jealous of Fife and
their family physician, had. when un-
der the influence of liquor, made ac-
cusations against her.
Then. as a climax in the defense of
Mrs. Richardson. her attorneys pro-
duced a letter written by Richardson
while he was an inmate of "a drink cure
institute. 1t eXonerated the defendant
of the slurs against her character, ac-
knowledged the writer's own guilt, and
begged humbly for forgiveness. The
reading of the letter proved sensa-
tional bit of evidence
The arguments began during the af-
ternoon and it is expected that the case
will go to the jury tomorrow noon. The
instructions will, it is stated, favor ac-
quittal. The state will demand a ver-
dict for murder in the first or second
degree.

CAPT. HOBS0N CAN'T GO
WILL NOT Be RETIRED
The Defective Eyesight of Which He
Complains Not Permanent.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The naval re-
firing board has declined to recon-
mend the retirment of Captain Rich
mond p. Hobson. He has complained
of his eyes. which suffered from the
heat and glare while he was working
ON the Spanish vessels sunk at Santa
go and afterwards in the dry dock at
Hong Kong, where two vessels of the
Spanish fleet, sunk by Dewey, were re-
paired.
Since his return to the United States
from the east Captain Hobson has been
on detached duty, first at Buffalo in
connection with the late exposition
there, and now at Charleston in charge
of the department naval exhibit. Cap
tain Hobson himself applied to be re-
tired, but the board of physicians which
examined him found his eyes were
not permanently injured and refused
to recommend his retirement.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
CAN'T MAKE PLATFORM
1t, However, Declares in Favor of the
Admission of Territories.

Washington. Jan. 24.-The democratic
members of the house of representa-
tiVes met in caucus this evening, and
after short but spirited contest
adopted resolutions declaring that they
were without power to promulgate "a
platform of principles for the party
owing to the binding character of the
party platform heretofore t regularly
made at the national convention.
The caucus was the outSrowth of an
animated discussion among the demo-
cratic members ever since the present
session of congress began. the chief
issue being as to the extent to which
the Kansas City platform should be
reaflirmed or should be superseded by
a new declara ton of policy. 1t was to
receive special report of a committee
of twelve members, appointed early in
the session. that the caucus tonight
was held. The resolutions are the out
growth of that report.
The caucus also adopted the follow
ing: Resolved, that the territories of
Arizona. oklahoma and New Mexico
are entitled to statehood and should be
admitted to the union on an equal foot
ing with the balance of the states, and
we pledge the support of the democrats
in the house to such Il course

London, Jan. 24.-The Daily News has
published from its correspondent at
The Hague. whom it claims to have
been very accurate, the following dis
patch taken from private advices:
News from South Africa has reached
the military circles here that the power
of the Beers over Cape Colony is in
creasing daily; that the rebellion is
constantly spreading, and that colo
nists are joining the Beers in steadily
increasing numbers. The executions of
Commandant Lotter October IL, 1901)
and Commandant Scheepers (January
is, 1902 have had the result of deciding
the loyalists to join the Beers, whose
position is persistently reported to be
more favorable than ever.
The same private advices assert that
the British suffered a dozen defeats
from September to November, 1901 OF
which no mention is made in Lord
Kitchener's reports.
The Daily News, commenting upon
this dispatch. confesses that it's state
ments are probably exaggerated, but
il is of the opinion that the denials of
