phta, Pa, to John Joseph Kean, alb
ductor of Freddie Muth, Z year old
son OF Charles Muth, who with his
captive was discovered after o six. day
search, In q vacant house in West
Philadelphia. 1t is the intention Of
the police department. to railroad the
prisoner to the penitentiary and i'm.
mediately after the hearing Captain
of Detectives Donaghy went before
the grand jury with his witnessed and
asked for an Indictment.
Freddie Muth was brought to the
court room by his father. He was a
diff rent boy from the child who was
found dirty and hungry in an unoccu.
pied house. He was atttlred In q
neat, blue flannel sailor suit and o
pink rose was pinned to his lapel.
Mr.. Muth said the Child was none
the worse for his experience. In
strong contrast was the appearance of
the abductor. After q slec pless night
In his cell he was haggard and wan.
His eyes shifted n%ervously and his
whole frame tremblcd vlsibly. He
still seemed to fear bodily Injury and
eyed spectators su,piciously The
police say re pacad The cell all night,
soothing and moaning, his wife ant
Chi dten being uppermost In his
mind.
When he was placed In the dock
Kean nodded TO Freddie Muth, who
SAT beside his father, and smiled,
Pointing to Kean, the little fellow
said: There he Is, papa, see
Kean app ared to exert a strange in
nuencs over the child VINO showed q
feeling akin to friendship for the
man. Ke&n made a statement deny
ing he had restrained the child In
any way. but said on the contrary
Freddie had opportunities to leave
nim several times. He said he had
not III treated The boy and in this he
was corroborated by the Muth child.
The grand jury found q true bill
against Kean and was given imme.
date trial and convicted in less than
hour. Judge ~Sulzoerger sentenced
the prisoner to twonty years. From
the time OF Kean's arrest until he was
his way to the p~enitentiary to be-
gin sentence less than twenty-four
hours had elapsed.

Triple suicide.

A suicide pact between Mss. Mary
Behrens, a widow, and Edward Gan
ger, who had q wife and five children,
resulted Friday In the death of both

in the woman'B apartments In Dekalb

to lay q wreath on the

swer on Thursday" which was the
first day Of the killing. Dsygatohoff
was a clever and humane man, be.
loved by Jews and Ohristians. His
murder by the Jew baiters gave his
subordinates freedom to execute their
plot.

The Governor Of Grodno lProvinoe
Is equally guilty. He arrived Thurs
day evening and stayed only two
hours. He did nothing to stop the
massacre, and worse violencs follow.
cd his visit. The appointment by
tho Duma Of an inve ,tiRatspg com
mission caused q cessation DIV slaugh.
ter. The small proportioniof wound
ed to killed shows the impurity with
which the murderers were allowed to
finish their Victims. Some Of these
were thrice killed by bulletB, Knives
and oudgels. Every ravaged house L
visited shows that the raiders were
left In possession for hours. A re
maskabie feature Of tbie ma ssacye is
the absence Of outrages on the wo-
men. Though thirty were killed,
there ia no authenticated case Of out
rage disooverable. This is explainer
be cause the Hooligans and troops got
their orders only to kill"
The precise number Of deaths can
not be learned. There are eighty-six
dead now In the jewish hospital and
seven In the Christian hospital, but
the corpses of those dragged from the
train and killed were buried without
being counted. The material des
tructiOn is enormous. In four i'm
por,ant streets nearly every window,
door and shutter Is broken, except In
the Christians houses. M,ny of the
wealthier Jews escaped, owing to the
iron gates OF their court yards, but

bullet holes In the windows, though
there was nobody within save an old
lady and q woman servant.
The houses into which the mob
broke we're l%itterally destroyed. Even
the wallpaper was torn down
The rioters stole everything
portable; even children'B toys were
smashed. The heavy furniture and
the unsmashable things were thrown
out OF the windows. The merchants
account books were burned, and only
the bare walls were left.
In a bakery, where the owner was
killed, the mob soaked the loaves OF
bread In a pool of blood, leaving be.

mill, whore Christians and Jews work
together, the mobbites cut the cloth
and yarn belonging to the Jews leav.

1t Is estimated that the loss will
amount to two million roubles. The
relatives Of the Victims have been de.

to re.enter the houses. They are
