birth and was buried there AS there
was no reason to doubt the truth of
his claim that the woman was his
wife, she was buried as such, and he
assumed custody of her personal eff
fects. including a $4,000 pair of dia-
mond bracelets and other jewelry and
wearing apparel, amounting to much
more in value. Despite the distance
at which Bothamley had always kept
his neighbors and The reticence he
practiced in regard TO his personal
affairs, there was wave of sympathy
for him at the death of his wife. He
retired to his ranch. went in for the
raising of sheep, and, in q measure,
dropped from view. Throughout that
secticn of Kansas there were several of
Bothamley's cOuntrymen engaged in
the same occupation he had taken up.
One of these was William H. Phillips,
who was made the administrator of
Bothamleys estate after the murder,
and who told me that Bothamley's con-
nections in his native country were
high. Later among his effects we

yeoman cavalry, which had been his,
together with other evidences of his
former prominent position in England.
According to the story of Vetter,
who was employed at the BOthamley
ranch his master announced one day
in the summer that he was going to
Newton to meet his sister, who was
coming out from England. On his re-
turn he was accompanied by a petite,
brown-haired blue-eyed young wom-
an of about 25 whom he introduced
to the men at the ranch as his Sis
ter Bertha Bothamley. The pair lived
at the ranchhouse as brother and sis
ter, and the current of affairs ran
smoothly until Bothamley decided to
move 10 Texas, where, he claimed, he
had a brother. Arrangements were
quickly made for the trip. The outfit"
consisted OF 1900 head of sheep. four
yoke Of oxen, some horses. a buggy and
wagon boxed in with ceilirg. This
wagon had been used by an itiuerant
daguerreotyper. The house part was
seven feet high and wide and ten
feet long. IT was supposed 10 furnish
shelter for Bothamley's sister and TO
protect the owner of the outfit from

the peaceful settlers as the other and
each willing to cut throat or use the
deadly six-shooter al the slightest
prospect of gain.
Three months or more had elapsed
between the murder OF the Englishman
and the time | was assigned to the
clearing up of the case, and this made
it necessary for me to secure all the
data concerning the finding of the
body and the incidents attending it at
second hand. Fortunately, a 17-year-
old boy, Wesley Vetter by name, who
had been in the employ of the mur-
dered man, was in Wichita and dis
posed to tell an unvarnished tale of
the circumstances surrounding the
death of his employer. With this lad
| visited the scene of the murder 20
miles from Caldwell. This visit re-
suited in nothing except the fixing in
my mind of the events as related by
Vetter.
To reduce the statements of his Kan
sas friends to a connected history,
Clement L. Bothamley had arrived in

the murder in company with a stately,
handsome woman, whom he introduced
as his wife. While the appearance of
two personages of such evident distinc-
ton and wealth at the frontier town
would naturally excite unusual inter-
est at any time, the advent of the
Bothamleys was an uncommonly
memorable event, owing to the fact
that their luggage consisted of 81
trunks, to say nothing of innumerable
boxes and portmanteaux. Bothamley's
manner was that of a lord, and his
companion indicated plainly by her
hauteur of manner that her new en-
vironment was far different from that
to which she had been accustomed.
In his talks with Florence people
Bothamley was a native of London,
who, with his wife, was seeking a
home in frontier America. He talked
of cattle and sheep raising as his in
tended vocation. Attempts to learn
more of him than he told in a business
way were futile. After two weeks he
moved from Florence to Newton, soon
after moving to a ranch of $40 acres
several miles from the town.
Two months after his arrival at
Newton his companion died in child

wet veaths-, as he suffered from
rheumatism. The start was made the
latter part of August, with Vetter and
inother man, William Dodson, to help
care for the sheep. Little progress
was made at first. as Bothamley was
attacked with rheumatism and had to
be taken back for treatment. October
found the outfit at blackberry creek,
on the Arbuckle trail, the scene of the
murder.
Vetter and Dodson seldom slept
more than 125 feet from the car, the
woman sleeping on raised couch in
the car and Bothamley on shake
down" on the floor, or in the covered
buggy close by. Early in the morn
ing Of October Dodson and Vetter,
who, contrary to their custom, had
gone to sleep some distance from the
car, were aroused by cries from the
woman, who was rushing toward
them.
Something awful has happened at
the car" she cried.
She was much excited and dazed,
complaining that something allied her
head" Vetter Immediately went back
to the car, found the door shut and re-
turned to the others without attempt
ing to investigate. The woman urged
Dodson to go to the car He opened
the door and saw Bothamley lying on
the blankets on the floor, dead. A
bullet hole under the right eye told the
manner of his death.
When Dodson informed the woman
that Bothamley was dead she became
hysterical and wept violently. Dod-
son saddled a horse and rode several
miles to the camp of a man named
Collins Bothamley's body was pre-
pared for burial, the funeral taking
place the same day at Skeleton ranch,
with the woman, Dodson, Vetter and
Collins in attendance. The next morn
ing DodsOn and the woman washed
the blood stains from the bedclothes.
After three days, durfRg which
Bothamley's supposed sister said she
had written to England concerning the
death of her brother, preparations
were made to continue the journey to
Texas.
Meanwhile. however, news of the
finding of Bothamley's body had trav-
eled over the thinly settled country
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1906-02-01

and reached the ears of the Indian
police, the regularly constituted con-
stabulary of the Indian Territory.
Just as the outfit was about to move
on the woman and the two men were
taken into custody by the Indian po-
lice and sent to the Wichita Jail pend
ing an investigation of the murder.
All three stoutly protested innocence.
There was no general belief that either
of the men had any guilty knowledge
of the crime, but many thought the
woman hal committed the murder.
This remained to be proved or dig
proved
Eliminating the possible guilt OF
the murdered mans supposed sister,
the most tenable theory of the affair
was suicide This was the belief
held by those who did not think the
little, mild-mannered woman guilty.
Steps were Immediately taken to learn
Bothamley's history, and this investi-
CATION was not without results.
Through different agencies it was
found first that Bothamley had DESERT
ed his wife and two children in Lon
don, and, second, that the woman
with whom he first came to Kansas
was not his wife but a Mrs. Harriet
Miller, an English woman of wealth
and position, who had deserted her
husband in London in order to fee
with Bothamley to a country where
they could continue their guilty love
affair without the ostracism and pun
ishment with which they would have
met in their native land. They burned
all their bridges behind them, and
started their new life in a SPOT where
It was not customary to pry too deep

Then death took a hand. Thousands
of miles from the home she had de.

No Third Term.

Mr. Lodges speech yesterday served the
excellent purpose of putting an end to all
the talk about another campaign by Mr..
Roosevelt for the presidential office. Those
who know the man have not doubted the
sincerity or the stability of his pledge, ut
tered on election night in 1904 not again to
be a candidate for the office. Yet for one
purpose and another, his name has been re-
peatedly brought into consideration as a
possible candidate in 1903. A few indiscreet
friends have gone beyond the range OF pro-
priety in declaring that this people would
force 0Ir. Roosevelt to reconsider his state
ment. To all such intimations the Presi-
dent himself has properly paid no heed, but
the occasion was nevertheless ripe for SEN
ator Lodges specific declaration that the
President has 'irrevocatly taken himself
out of the. region of candidates. which
should lay this ghost effectually. If the
Presidents personal admirers and close as
sociates or the managers of presidential
booms choose hereafter to try to revive
the third-term cry out Of sheer abandon
Of enthusiasm or for speculative purposes,
the public will have been well advised that
their outgivings are not to be taken Sc
riously.

Mcclellan and Murphy.

1t may be true. as reported. that Mr.. Nc
Clellan and Mr.. Murphy have parted COM
pany. but let US not be too certain The
game as played In New York is mystifying
to a degree. It is truer there than else
where. that things are not always what
they seem. Something-and often a good
deai-must be allowed for stage effects.
Men may fight and fight. and still retain a
workable basis for cooperation In a pinch.
This is January. and 1t Is true that the two
men mentioned are not now on the best of
terms. But who shall say, with only that
for authority. that they will not be found
standing shoulder to shoulder next fall in
support of the same candidate for the DEM
ocratic nomination for governor of New
York?
Let us remember. first of all. that no real
principle is involved In this row. 1t is
wholly a question of pull" If Mr.. Murphy
had been able to deliver-as he thought he
would BETTY or sixty thousand majority
to Mr.. Mcclellan last November there
would have been no row. The Murphy of
the past two years. and particularly of last
September. is the Murphy of today, morally
considered. He stands for the same things
in the matter of public policies as when he
first nominated Mr.. Mcclellan for mayor,
and afterward Endorsed him for a second
term. Tammany for all. and all for Tam
many has been. and still is. his cry
But fate. or what you will, has recently
been cruel toward the Tammany boss. He
could not hold his forces together in the
latest contest, and his promised fifty OF
sixty thousand majority dwindled to q
beggarly three or four and some people
believe that 1t completely disappeared
Hearst it is contended in some quarters
carried the city, and was swindled in the
count. And for this failure to make good
Mr.. Murphy Is now under discipline.
1t is this aspect of the case which is in
structive as respects the future. AS Mr..
Murphy is gagged, not by what he repre-
sents morally, but wholly by what he may
be able to do at the polls, his fortunes may
mend before the fall campaign begins, and
his influence with the mayor and his present
friends be re-established. At any rate, It is
too early to put him permanently In the
anti-McClellan column.
