East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1905-01-20

Charlottesville, Va, Jan. 2O.-Jas.
samuel McCue, former mayor of
charlottesville, was hanged in the
county jail here today for the murder
OF his wife. The execution attracted
more public attention than any previ-
Gus hanging in this section of the
state. s-
The crime for which the ex-mayor
paid the death penalty occurred on
the night of September of last year.
Mr.. and Mrs. McCue had gone to
church, returning home about 9 p. m.
Shortly afterward Mrs. McCue's dead
body, clad in a night robe, was found
In a bath tub filled with water. Mr.
McCue told those who came in that
some one had entered the house upon
their return from church, that he had
been knocked senseless and his wife
probably Killed. An investigation led
to the arrest on the charge of MUIR
der of the man who only four days
before had retired from the highest
office in the city.
Mrs McCue had received the con-
NNhNS VI n oiiOb6uil iCl a
sufficient wound to cause instant
death, but in addition she had been
struck a heavy blow on the head,
cutting an ear nearly in two.
Mr.. McCue at first laid the crime to
a stable boy. and offered $1,000 re-
ward for evidence TO convict the mur-
derer. The day after he offered the
reward he was himself arrested for
the crime. At the trial which followed
several witnesses testified that the
married life of Mr.. and Mrs. McCue
had been marred by jealousy on the
part of the wife, and that they were
continually quarreling. One sad feat
ure of the trial was the fact that Nc
Cue had for years been lawyer at
the bar before which he was trin
and convicted, and had been on
friendly terms with most of the Sc
identified with the trial.

DEATH WAS MYSTERIOUS.
Chicago Police Believe that Young
Girl Was Maltreated and Then
Poisoned by a Doctor

Chicago, Oct 7.-Dr. Oliver b. Hart,
a young physician residing in the sub
urb of Rogers Park, is in the custody
of the police pending further investi-
cation, of the death of Irene Klokow,
10 years of age, which occurred Thurs
day in the residence of the physician.
1t is the opinion of the police that a
charge of murder will be lodged
against DR.. Hart.
The girl died in a bedroom of the
Hart residence in which she and the
physician had been locked for several
hours. 1t is the opinion of the authori-
ties, based on the facts disclosed at
the inquest held yesterday, that the
girl was maltreated and then poisoned
in an attempt to conceal the crime.
After finding that it was impossible
for the child to recover, the physician
swallowed morphine and lay in an un-
conscious condition all of Thursday
night and during the greater part Of
yesterday. Late yesterday afternoon
ne partially recovered and was
brought to the city and locked up in
the East Chicago avenue police sta
tion.
The girl was taken about a year ago
from the Illinois industrial home by
DR.. Hart and his wife, who desired a
girl who could serve in a measure as
companion for Mrs. Hart, who is but
7 years of age, and at the same time
90 light work about the house.

THE INSURANCE
INVESTIGATION
STARTLING FACTS BROUGHT OUT
AT THE RESUMPTION OF THE
PROBING COMMITTEE.
MCCALL AN INTERESTING WITNESS
President of the New York Life Says
Three-quarters of the Bills Affect
ing Life Insurance Companies
Were in the Nature of
BlackmaiI.

New York, Oct. 5.-That John r.
Hegeman, president of the Metropoli-
tan Life Insurance Co., borrowed
$50 900 from the New York Life Insur-
ance Co. at IL per cent. interest, a
rate below the market rate, was
brought out in the insurance investi-
cation last week, but yesterday Pres
ident John A. Mccall, of the New York
Life Insurance Co., testified that he in
turn borrowed $4,000 from the Met
ropolitan at the same rate.
Mr.. Mccall resuming, was asked
about a deposit to the credit of Judge
Hamilton of $1G2,041 on September |,
| 1905. Mr. Mccall said the New York
Life Insurance Co. had paid Mr. Ham
ilton no money, but suggested that
part of it might have come from the
state controllers office by reason of an
assignment of tax moneys which
would come to the judge by reason OF
his securing the repeal Of the tax law
which relieved the New York Life
from payment Of taxes
President Mccall also testified that
the New York Life Insurance Co.'S eX-
penses for legal services from June /,
1900, to August 81, 1905, were $1103,-
920. OF this amount Mr.. Mccall said
Andrew Hamilton received $416,s2!.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Mccall, in de
failing the general legislation work
of Judge Hamilton. and the counsel he
employed. denied any knowledge Of
the Legislative pool which was disclos-
ed in the examination of Alfred w.
| Maine, auditor of the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, last week Mr.
Mccall on this question made the
startling assertion that three quarters
of the bills affecting life insurance
companies were in the nature Of
blackmail.
New York, Oct. G.-That the as
founding total of more than $2,G00OOO
has been paid as commissions by the
Mutual Life Insurance Co. TO two
members of the family of Richard A
McCurdy, president of the company
and the promise of District Attorney

sensational developments in the in
! surancc situation yesterday.
New York, Oct. THE special leg
islatiye committee investigating the
methods of insurance companies ad-
journed yesterday until Tuesday Of
next week. In yesterdays testimony
the sensational development was
when Mr.. Hughes demanded the pay
roll of the executive officers of the
company. This was produced and
showed the salaries of these officers
since 1877. For the year 1904 Presi-
dent McCurdy received $150,OOO, two
vice presidents were paid $4,000 each,

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Excellent Conditions Prevail Every
Where-large Yield of Corn
Is Assured.

Washington, Oct 4.-The weekly
crop bulletin of the weather bureau
summarizes crop conditions as fol
lows:
The weather conditions of the week
ending October 2, as a whole, were eX-
ceptionaly favorable to agricultural
interests. Under the influence of warm
and generally dry weather throughout
the central valleys, lake region and
Atlantic coast districts, late crops ma
tured rapidly. Frosts occurred in the
middle Rocky Mountain districts and
in the upper Ohio valley, lower lake
region and northern portion of the
middle Atlantic states, but caused no
serious injury.
Highly favorable weather prevailed
An exceptionally large and fine yield
of corn is now assured over much of
the greater part of the corn belt.
A light apple crop is reported nearly
everywhere, only a few unimportant
apple producing states indicating sat
isfactory yields.
Owing to the extensive prevalence
of blight and rot in the principal po-
tato producing states a light crop of
potatoes of inferior quality is gener-
ally promised. The fall season has so
far been exceptionally favorable for
plowing and seeding in the central
valleys, lake region and middle At
lantic states.
Columbus, O., Oct. 4.-This sum
mary of conditions of crop in Ohio for
the week ending October 2, has been
issued by Section Director J. Warren
Smith:
The first of the week was very cool
and light frosts were general. The
weather was very favorable for the
ripening of corn, curing of tobacco
and farm work. Very little damage
was caused by the frost. Corn has
matured very rapidly and most of the
crop has been cut. The seeding of
wheat has progressed very rapidly and
the work has been completed in many
districts. Pastures are in good condi-
tion, except in the extreme northwest
and southeast. The cloversced yield
is poor in nearly all places. The
weather has not been favorable for
potatoes and the crop is poor.

A CAVE-IN
AT A QUARRY
TEN TO SIXTEEN MEN CAUGHT
IN THE COLLAPSE NEAR
GRANVILLE, N. Y.
TEN MEN WERE KILLED
Among the Dead Is j. 3. Williams
President of the Company, the
Others Being Hungarian La
borers - Foreman Pro5a-
bly, Fatally Hurt.

Troy, n. Y, Oct Ten mon
We're killed yesterday by a caye-in at
the Vermont Slate Co.'S quarry about
212 miles from Granville, n. Y. Among
the dead is j. G.. Williams, president Of
the company. The others were Hun
garian laborers
Revised figures show that there
were from ten TO 16 men in the quarry
when the collapse occurred. 1t will
take from one to two weeks to dig out
the entombed men. Immediately after
the first collapse a second one took
place which damaged the machinery
of the quarry. Frazer Queen, the fore
man, who was rescued, was taken to
the Albany hospital, where one of his
legs will be amputated. When he was
found he was trying to dig his way
out. His condition is said to be seri-
Gus.
The cave-in was such as occurs
frequently in the quarries which
abound in southern Vermont, but usu-
ally they happen in the night or give
sufficient warning for all to escape.
This one caught a gang of men un-
awares and they were almost instantly
buried before they could escape. The
material which fell was mostly what
is known as waste and several hun
dred tons comprised the great slide
which buried the men. Mr.. Williams,
president of the company, was on the
pile when it fell and was not buried
deep, nor was his body badly distig-
uren, but he was crushed internally.

ROBBERS LOOT WAS SMALL
Passenger Train Held Up by Masked
Men Near Seattle, Wash.

st. Paul, Mimi, Oct. 4.-General
Manager d. S. Elliott, of the Great
Northern Express Co, made the fol
lowing statement yesterday afternoon
regarding the hold-up of the Overland
passenger train Monday night near
Seattle:
"Our train leaving Seattle for St.
Paul Monday night at 8 o'clock was
held up by masked men between Me
tum and Richmond Beach, about ten
miles north of Seattle, on the shore of
Puget Sound. Two men evidently got
on the front of the mail car at rail
road crossing stop and very soon after
went into the cab of the engine, held
up the engineer and fireman, requiring
the engineer to stop the train at a
given point, where they were met by
probably three others who joined the
party and forced the engineer and fire
man at the points of revolvers to re-
quire the express messenger to open
the car door.
"The messenger was then forced to
leave the car. Some of the robbers
got into the car and wrecked the safe
by the use of dynamite, using three
charges, so we are informea Such of
the contents of the safe as were not
damaged by the explosion were taken
by the robbers, who, it is supposed,
had a boat handy to carry them away.
There was very little money taken, be
ing all small remittances and amount
ing to less than $1,000. The passen-
gers were not molested, no one was
hurt and no damage done to the bag
