FIRE IN VACANT HOUSE
MYSTERY TO POLICE

Some one is believed to have set fire to
the vacant house at S12 Georgia avenue
southeast. and police of the fifth pre-
cinct are investigating the case.
A policeman saw flames issuing from
the windows OF the house, and turned in
in alarm from box 536. Several engine
and truck companies responded Be
cause Of the fact that the flames had
their origin in the rear portion of the
building, the nremen experienced some
difficulty in getting to the starting place.
The doors were locked, and it is the
opinion of the police that the person
who started the fire got out through a
window. Two hundred dollars damage
was done 10 the house before the frenen
gained the mastery.

played his trump card and at the same
time gave an insight into the WY this
remarkable woman did business.
He introduced in evidence two letters
written by Mrs Chadwick and one by
the late President Beckwith, of the
Oberlin bank, which lay bare the whole
scheme. 1t was to borrow under some
specious promise, and when the obhga-
tion became due, TO borrow there to
meet it, and to pay big bonuses for
the loans.

keep herself af1oat, and sending explicit
instructions to her dupes as to just
what they must do and say and how
they must act. It was just what the
spectators in the court room had been
waiting for. and they enjoyed it hugely.
The letters Were addressed to Spear
and Beckwith and said that Mr.. Wuerst,
of Elyria, who held her note, was going
to call on them the next day, and that
they would be surprised TO see him.
$50 you had better be surprised; if you
don't say it you must look it, advised
Cassie.
Judge Was Amused.
The judge and the people in the court
room laughed at this. One banker
nudged another and whispered: That S
the way she did it, Now we are learn
ing about her little game Then came
the other letter asking Spear to give
her a certified check for SIS, 600 to put off
Wuerst and Fay, and saying: Twill

Crime in Bed and Discussed
Disposal of Body.

READING, Pa. March 9.-Samuel
Greason. the negro condemned to be
hanged with Mrs. Kate Edwards for
tie murder OF the latter's husband,
through his attorneys has presented to
the supreme court petition asking the
- art TO fix q day ~ argue the different
points In the case. with the object OF
securing a new Trial.
It's probable the petition will be con-
sic sd eariv next week. Tho feature
Of the petition is the latest deposition
of Mrs Edwards
Since he was arrested three years ago
the negro has had twelve death war
rants served On him. and has been re-
prieVed as many times.
Woman duplicates Daughter.
The new evidence presented to the
supreme court more than ever duplicates
Mary Edwards. the daughter of the
condemned woman. 1t tends to make
her a party to the crime. which the
deposition clearly shows was premedi-
eated for at least three hours before 1t
occurred.
The deposition recites that the ham
mer with which John Edwards was i'll
cd on the night of July was on the
second floor of the Edwards house
where 1t had always been kept, and
that Mrs. Edwards and her daughter
Mary were in bed on the second iioor,
and were awake from 8 O'Clock n The
evening until midnight, when the decd
| was committed.
| During that time, Mrs. Edwards says,
| they planned which would be the best
way 10 take his life. Having decided,
| they came downstairs, and saw that
| John Edwards was still lying in u
| drunken sleep upon the porch OF the
| house. When he was discovered there,
| Mrs. Edwards says that Mary went to
tho second floor of the house and got the
hammer. She gave It TO her mother,
| who struck the fatal blows, after which
] she and her daughter carried the body
to the cistern and threw IT In
| Could Have Escaped.
| The petition of the negro goes on to
say that he WAS discharged at habeas
| corpus hearing III August, 1901, and, not
suspecting that he would be rearrested,
went about his old work. He was re-
arrested the following October, inpris-
| oned. tried, and convicted in December
| 1901. His contention is that if he had
| been guilty he would have left the State
| so rs to escape rearrest.

GUNS MUzzLE
IS BLOWN OFF

WASHINGTON, April IA tele-
gram from the chief of staff of the
North Atlantic squadron received at
the Navy Department to-day states
that the muzzle of one of the eight-inch
guns of the Iowa blew off yesterday
during target practice. No one was in
jured.
> The telegram stated that after four of
the eight-inch guns had been fired in
target practice the n1uzzle of the fifth
gun blew off at the first round. 1t was
one of the old-type guns OF this caHber
mounted on the Iowa before the Span
ish war and designed to use brown
powder, and consequently had a much
thinner muzzle than the new type. 1t
had been fired successfully 103 tinses
and burst on the one hundred and
fourth time with normal powder condi-
tions so far as known. Several other
guns on the Iowa of the same type
made at the same time have suffered
similar accidents.
This class of guns is being replaced
as rapidly as possible with longer and
thicker tubed weapons. The Navy De-
partment has ordered thorough in
vestigation of the accident.
