Mrs. Oliphant escaped into the house of
a neighbor who protected her. Pel1ser

Oliphant threatened the life of everyone
who approached MIN.
Terrified citizens ran up the track and
tagged the train in time to give McAntee
warning so that he left the engine and
was in hiding in the baggage car until
the train passed Metamora Meantime
Onphant threatened trainmen who would
not tell him where McAntee was hiding.
After threatening his wife and others
Ohphant escaped to a nearby house. and

Friday evening about o'clock John
Humberg, of Spring Park, Mimi, met a
couple of strangers on Washington av-

ed them to direct him to a hotel. One
of the men was well dressed while the
other had the appearance of a lumber
jack. The one who was we'll dressed
responded to the inquiry, and informed
Humberg that he was an officer of the
city and would be pleased to direct him
to the hotel
Instead of directing him, he told him
he would be pleased to take him to the
motel in person, so the three started
down Washington avenue, and when at
Seventh avenue south they turned off
Washington avenue until they came to
the notorious Fish alley the unsavory
reputation of which has been so well
known for years. They lured the I'M
suspecting countryman into the alley,
and had not proceeded far before the
'lumberjack' turned and clapped bis
hand over the mans mouth, and with
the other arm around his throat, choked
him almost into insensibility
The officer tore the victims coat open
and relieved him of all his valuables and
money. They got $50 and a watch Aft

SENT FAST TO CELL
SEVENTY-TWO HOURS AFTER MUIR
DER OF CARRIE. JENNETT PROF.
MILLER Is IN PENITENTIARY
HIS SENTENCE IS FOR LIFE
Judge Declares Him n Demon, and
Expresses Regret That He Cam
not Infict Fit Punishment
for the Crime.

DETROIT, Mich, April PAT midnight
tonight seventy-two hours after Prof.
Joseph M Miller murdered Miss Carrie
NJ. Jennett with a hatchet, he was in
jackson prison, sentenced to spend the
rest of his life there at hard labor.
He was arraigned in the recorders court
this morning on the charge of murder.
His attorney, who was appointed by the
court, raised the question of Miller's san
ity and Judge Murphy accordingly ap-
pointed a commission Of three alienists,
Drs. Emerson, Hitchcock and Kennedy,
to examine Miller. His plea was with
held pending their examination.
After a careful examination, the physi-
clans came into court this afternoon and
announced they were agreed there was
no symptom Of insanity in the defendant
Miller then was ordered to plead, and
the confessed murderer said in a low
voice: Guilty"
Evidence was then introduced to prove
the death of Miss Jennett. At it's con-
clusion Miller's attorney, F. c. Chamber
lain, addressed the court He congratu-
lated the police department on their eff
ficient work in running down the muir
derer and securing his confession and
said that he had no sympathy with Mil
Ter, who deserved the extreme penalty
OF the law.
In sentencing Miller, Judge Murphy
called him demon and said that he con-
sidered the sentence he was about
to impose on MIN inadequate to his hor-
rible crime.
Miller was taken back to JAIL where he
remained until he left for the station.
Accompanied by two officers he went to
Jackson at $40 o'clock over the Michi-
gan Central railroad. He broke down and
wept bitterly as the officers marched
him through the station and into the
Lrain.
Mrs. Miller, his wife, who has been
an invalid for several years, is pros
trated at her home, and is in a danger
GUS condition. She at first refused to
believe her husband guilty, even after he
had confessed, but as the truth grad
ually forced itself on her she collapsed.
Miller and the two officers were met
at the union depot shortly after mid
night by five officers and Police Commits
Sioner Hayden. The Detroit officers fear
ed trouble, but the demonstrations at
Jackson Junction and here were not Sc
rious Miller was unnerved, however,
and visibly affected, but recovered on
his safe arrival at prison, and quietly
underwent the usual fOTmalitieS. He was

No knowledge of banking.

No knowledge of banking.
A stakeholder of one of the newer trust
companies, which, after passing through
the Vicissitudes not uncommon with such
corporations early in their career. is now
one of the successful downtown inan-
clal institutions, had an amusing ex-
perience with the officers of the company
when its stock seemed to lag superfluous
on the market at a decline of twenty
points below its issue price. He thought
1t would be we'll to learn from headuuar-
tiers If there was any reason for the de-
cline, some Of his friends insisting that
It had made some heavy losses, and thai
he had better sell out Accordingly, he
called at the cOmpany's office and saw
the secretary, to whom he stated the OBJ
ject of his visit. The secretary, after
denying the reports of losses, said: INV
dear sir, the real reason for the apparent
lack of progress is the fact that our pres
ident knows nothing of banking, and the
stockholders want to get rid of him At
the forthcoming annual meeting an effort
is to be made to do this, and you want
to send your proxy to me for that pur-
pose, or come and vote yourself in favor
of some 1One else for the office" The
stakeholder was about leaving the offiCe
when he saw the president, whom he
knew by sight, and who knew him. The
president invited him into his room, and
the stakeholder told him of the object of
his visit without saying that he had
talked with the secretary on the subject.
My dear sir" Immediately rejoined the
president, the cause of the trouble is
the secretary. He knows nothing about
banking, and we are trying to get rid OF
him at the annual meeting" etc The
stOcNholder then retired, thinking he was
''up against it pretty badly, and undecided
whether or not to sell out. He held on,
however, and at the annual meeting
both the president and secretary were
retired TO private life.-New York Herald.

TWO MOTIVES FOR CRIME
WIFE's CONFESSION SEEMS TO
CLEAR MURDER MYSTERY.

DETROIT. Mich, April 12.-The only
new development today in the Haywood
murder case was an admission by Mrs.
Haywood concerning William NJ. Jones.
the rocr1er in HeyWOOd's house Who Ia
under arrest on suspicion Of killing her
husband She says that he had an influ-
ence over her which she could never dis
pei.
Mrs. Haywood says now that she agrees
with the theory Of the police that Jones
stole out Of the house about 3 O'Clock
band IN the street. Tonight Mrs Hey
wood is under the care of a physician.
Jones was in the sweat box again
this Afternoon, but nothing was cleaned
from him. The police maintain that Mrs.
HeywOod's admission today furnishes a
double motive for Jones to kill Haywood.
He probably wanted, they say, To marty
Mrs Haywood and also to secure the
$4,000 of life insurance which Mr.. Hey
wood carried, and his property worth
about $40 900 more.
