company, for which he was the agent,
that they were married. Now, that's a

Besides the various other strange en-

as a promoter, it is darkly limited by
the Brooklyn police that he has been
conducting on an extravagant scale

posed as a physician, chemist, expert

It was the last half of the ninth.
The pitcher had gone up in the air, and
the bases were rs full as three goats, re-
lates the Newark News.
The score was sd In favor of the team
in the field. A single would tie the score.
A two-bagger would win the game.
Two men had flied out, and the man at
bat had two strikes against him.
1t was a crucial moment.
And, as we, say. the pitcher was ratified.
Suddenly the catcher held up his hand.
His right hand.
He removed his wire mask and stepped
toward the pitcher, who advanced to meet
him
With mouth close to the pitchers ear
the catcher whispered something. What
it was no one heard but the pitcher, who
returned to the box.
The ball shot true across the plate.
Strike three!" cried the umpire. The
pitcher had saved the day.
Now, then, The thing we want to know
is this: What did the catcher say to the
pitcher?

The second charge for which he is
under indictment in Manhattan is the
accusation of DR.. G. A. Goldsmith, of
Stamford, Conn, who has sworn that
Carlton drugged him with a cup of tea
and robbed him of $500 at the st. Clair
hotel, Park Row, in January, 1900.

The authorities at Washington stand

body OF Jennie Smyth Carlton, wife
who died in June, 1904, from tetanus

covering if she died from the effects
of poison.

In both of these cases the authori-
ties are proceeding on Inc assumption
that in applying modern scientific
methods to murder, the man may have
actually inoculated the women with

testimony of two persons already in
| their possession that Carlton not only
often spoke of germs, but apparently
had cultures OF them in his apartments
A motive for the murder easily proven
the police declare, would be found in
the insurance he collected on the death
of both wives.
Photographs of Carlton have been
identified by Mrs. John e. McCandless
living in a small town in Nebraska
who declares that they were married in
