i
 'Mr. Jeffrey showed more composrre, but the inward excitement under which he was laboring made him trip more than once in his responses, as many there noted whose minds were not fix ed too strongly on flight.
 "Only Dr. Auchincloss was quite himself, and by means of the solem- nifty with which he invested his words kept the hubbub down, which was al- ready making itself heard on the out skirts of the crowd. But even his in fluence did not prevail beyond the mo- ment devoted to the benediction. Once the sacred words were said, such stampede followed that the bride show ed much alarm, and it was left for Mr. JeffrpP to explain to her the cause of this astonishing conduct on the part of her guests. She bore the disclosure well, all things considered, and once she was fully assured that the unhap- py man whose sudden death had thus interrupted the festivities was an fn- truder upon the scene and quite un- known, not only to herself but to her newly made husband, she frightened perceptibly, though, like every one around her, she seemed anxious to leave the house, and, indeed, did so as soon as Miss Tuttle's condition war ranted it.
 "The fact that the bride went through the ceremony without her bridal bouquet is looked upon by many as an unfavorable omen. In her anx- iety not to impose any longer upon the patience of her guests, she had de scended without it.
 "As to the deceased, but little is known of him. Letters found on his person prove his name to be w. Pfeif- fer and his residence Denver. His presence in Miss Moore's house at q time so inopportune is unexplained. No such name is on the list of wedding guests, nor was he recognized as one of Miss Moore's friends either by Mr. Jeffrey or by such of her relatives and acquaintances as had the courage to enter the library to see him.
 with the exception of the discolored mark on his temple, showing where his head had come in contact with the hearthstone, his body presents an appearance of natural robustness, which makes his sudden end seem all the more shocking.
 His name has been found registered at the National hotel"
 Turning over the files I next came upon the following dispatch from Den yer:
 ''The sudden death in Washington of Wallace Pfeiffer, one of our best known and most respected citizens, is deeply deplored by all who knew him and his unfortunate mother. He is the last of her three sons, all of whom have died within the year. The demise of Wallace leaves her entirely unpro- vided for. It was not known here that MT. Pfeiffer intended to visit Washington. He was supposed to go in quite the opposite direction, having said to more than one that he had business in San Francisco. His intru- sion into the house of Miss Moore during the celebration of marriage in which he could have taken no per- sonal interest is explained in the fol- lowing manner by such as knew his mental peculiarities: Though a mer- chant by trade and latterly miner in the ElondilSe, he had great interest in the occult and was a strong believer in all kinds of supernatural manifesto tions. He may have heard of the un-

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-09-03

TN YEXT morning the city was in a EW blaze of excitement. All the burning questions of itheahour-
 the rapid mobilization of the army and he4pEospect of a speedy ad- vance on CnEa-were forgotten in the expressing topic of young Mrs. Jef- 4rey's death and the awful. circum- stances surrounding it.
 Though I was the hero of che honr and, as such, subjected to an influite number of questions, l followed the lead of my superiors and carefully re- trained from advancing any theories beyond the obvious one of suicide. The moment for self exploitation was9 not ripe: [ did not stand high enough in confidence of the major, or, may gay, of the lieutenant of my own pre- cinct, to risk the triumphfL anticipated ultimately by a premature expression of opinion.
 Ishadsan enemy at headquarters; or, rather, one of the men there had al- ways appeared peculfarly ytinterestedsi in showing me up in the worst light. The name of this man was Durbin, andsit was he who had uttered some thing like asslighting remark when on that first night I endeavored to cali the captains attention to some ofsthe small matters which had offered themselves to me in the light of clews. Perhaps it was the prospect of surprising him some day which made me so wary now as well as so alert to fill my mind with all known facts concerning the Jef- freys. One of my first acts was to turn over the files of the Star and reread the following account of the great wedding. As it is a sensational description of sensational event, I shall make no apology for the head lines which startled all Washington the night they appeared:
