Be MURDERER
Negro Arrested at Cincinnati
Has in His Possession a
Pin of Missing Woman

CHICAGO, April 1.-THE first trace
Of Mrs. John c. Burns since her disap-
pearance from a Chicago hotel two
years ago was found to-day, when
James Taylor, a negro, was arrested
at Cincinnati. He had in his possession
Mrs. Burns Daughters of the American
Revolution pin, engraved with her
name, as well as several articles OF
jewelry, all of which bore her initials.
The prisoner is said to have disclosed
the hiding places of other jewels which
are alleged to have been the property
of Mrs. Burns. The total value of the
property recovered is nearly $4,000.
About two years ago Mrs. Burns an
nounced that she was going away on
a short visit. Her husband was be-
lieved to be in Europe. Taking several
trunks, Mrs. Burns left the hotel, CIV
ing instructions to hold her mail until
she sent her forwarding address. From
that day to this no word has been re-
ceived from her or her husband. Mrs.
Burns was prominent as a member OF
the Daughters of the American Revo-
luton, and also was connected with
several Woman'S clubs.

the matter. The Attorney General then
announced that if the document was
not submitted he would prosecute
Colonel du Patty de Clam for illegal de-
tention of state papers.
The witness asked for time to con-
suit with General Mercier. the former
War Minister, to which the Attorney
General replied that General MERCER
would also be prosecuted Non the same
charge if the document was not sub
mitted. The anlysis finally was turned
over to the chamber.
