CHIEF SUSPECT OF BOMB OUT.
RAGE In MADRID.
Another Dramatic Chapter to Events
Surrounding Royal WeddIng-As-
sassin Kills a Guard, and, Seeing
Escape Impossible, Turned Gun on
SeIf-ldentficaton Is Positive.

Madrid, June 14.-The capture and
suicide Saturday night at Torrejon de
Ardos of Manuel Morales, the chief
suspect Of the bomb outrage against
King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, adds
another dramatic chapter to the events
surrounding the royal wedding.
Morales was recognized in the little
town of Torrejon de Ardos, midway be-
tween Madrid and Alcata. A guard
sought to detain him, but Morales,
drawing a revolver, shot the guard
dead. Then he turned to fee, but
number of the inhabitants Of the town
were upon In, and, turning the re-
volver upon himself, he sent a shot in
the region Of his heart, expiring few
minutes later. Senior Cuesta, proprietor
of the hotel from the balcony of which
Morales threw the bomb has viewed
the body and completely identified it
as that of his recent guest.
1t was o'clock Saturday evening
when Morales, disguised in the garb of
working man, entered the station at
| Torrejon de Ardos. He asked child,
who was in charge of the office, the
time the next train would depart for
Barcelona He then Sought food in
nearby shop. His Catalonian accent
first attracted attention to him. 1t was
then noticed that, while his working
mans suit was entirely new and cor
responded in texture to that usually
worn by a person of his station in
life, his face and manners showed him
to be a man of some distinction.
| A private Waterman from a neigh
boring estate CHANGED to be present,
and he noticed the facial resemblance
of Morales to the descriptions given
out of the man seen on the balcony
from which the bomb was thrown, par
ticularly the long, thin and deeply
serious face and the closely cropped
mustache. He then observed that a
finger on the mans left hand, which
the stranger was trying to conceal,
was badly hurt, and that there was
also small fresh scar on his forehead.
The stranger started out on a road
leading into the country, but the
Waterman intercepted him and de-
manded to know his identity. Morales
declined to give this, whereupon the
guard arrested him. Instantly Morales
drew revolver from his pocket and
: fred, the guard falling dead Morales
started up the road, but small group
Of villagers barred his passage. Then
turning around, he deliberately pointed
the weapon to his heart, fred and
| pitched forwalti in the roadway.
An examination of the pockets of the
dead man showed that they contained
$36 in money and small supply Of
bread and cheese, but there was
nothing in them that would give clev
as to his identity.
) This fact created a doubt that thu
man was Morales, but when the gov
ernor of Madrid arrived with Cuesta
: Identification was immediate and posi-
, tive. The body was then brought tt
' Madrid. At first there was desire t,
+ bury it at Torrejon de Ardos, but whel
!. this was suggested the villagers In
0 dignantly refused to permit the bod,
to repose in their town.

ABOUT CLIFF DWELLERS.
Theory Advanced by Investigator
Accounting for Quaint
Dwellings.

A new explanation as 20 why the
clin dwellings are situated at such an
immense height was advanced by the
commissioner Of Indian affairs. Fran
cts j. Leupp. at the recent meeting Of
the Now York state chapter of the Col
orad0 Gin Dwellings association.
The theory was states the New York
Times, that at the time the cliff dwell
prs built their quaint homes. (probably
as far back as the age of mammoths,)
an immense stream flowed by almost
on a level with the houses. This flow
OF water gradually wore down the bed
OF the river until It became 80 sunk
on as 10 leave the houses at an al
most inaccessible elevation.
Another interesting point brought
out by the commissioner related TO the
fact that the doorways Of the dwell
ings average only three or four feet
In height. The builders had construct
ed these openings on the principle that
as animals had small openings in the
ground. human beings needed door
ways only sufficiently largo to allow
the body to pass through.
Mr.. Leupp described these dwellings
when viewed as a whole as a sight OF
impressive grandeur with the un-
broken silence brooding over all.
