DOVER. Del. March 21.-The appearance
of secret service men in Dover last night
aroused widespread interest until it was
learned that they were here on business
quite distinct from the mysterious kidnap-
ing of Horace y. Marvin, the little son of
DIR. II. " Marvin. who was stolen from
Bay Meadows a little more than two weeks
ago. An added feature is the strange dis
appearance of DR.. Marvin himself, who
slipped out of town early yesterday morn
ing 1t is said that he drove to Wyoming
a station three miles south of here and
took train there for Washington, where
he will appeal to the President In person
to enlist his aid in the search for his miss
ing boy.
Since the resolutions requesting the Presi-
dent aid passed on Monday by the Della
ware house of representatives, the authori-
ties of Dover have hourly expected to hear
that the government forces had been placed
at work on the case.
Superintendent Dimalo of the Pinkertons,
together with half dozen men, spent the
day securing the shore of Delaware bay be-
tween Little creek and Bowers Beach, hop
ing to find trace of the mysterious black
sloop which appeared off Kits Hammock a
few days ago. Oyster boat crews We're ques-
toned closely to learn If vessel answer
ing to the description of the unknown craft
had been seen.
State Detective Hawkins with his men
yesterday raided a gypsy camp about five
miles south of Dover and barely three miles
from the Marvin farm. The band consisted
of fifteen adults and eight children. De-
tective Hawkins examined every child near
the age of the boy Horace He even went
so far as to make careful tests to deter
mine whether or not the skin of any of the
children had been stained or dyed.
Detective Hawkins also made a thorough
search of the home of the hermit, William
o. Hence, who lives about mile from
Bowers Beach. Henze, who is about fifty
five years old, has lived entirely alone for
the last six years in a rude habitation part
house and part cave, which he made him

Alice Not Interested.

Ex-senator Alice of Delaware made a call
upon the President today. He said that his
call did not have anything to do with the
mysterious disappearance of Horace Mar
win, the four-year-old boy for whom there
has been hunt all over the country. The
statement has been printed that the Della
ware legislature passed a resolution asking
the President to order the Post Office De-
partment to put into motion its machinery
for notifying every post office in the coun-
try about the lost boy Mr. Alice said that
he did not present any such resolution and
did not know anything about it.

When the first symptom of friction
arose over the railroad situation In

relish the idea of any controversy be-
tween the state and federal courts and

attorney general thought it necessary
to send Assistant Attorney General

have the entire support Of the Dresi-
dent.

gone, they met with the presidents Gp-
proval. The president has not given
Mr.. Bonaparte any special instruc-
tiOns.

Embraced Ey Gray-Haired Mother
as He Was LcavinS-No Opinion
EXPRESSED as to Length of Time
Before Jury Will Return Verdict
Boise. Idaho July 27.-The jury in
the case of William D. Haywood, sec
retary-treasurer of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners, charged with the
murder of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg, retired to consider its
verdict t 11:O4 a. m. today and Judge
| Wood Immediately ordered recess until
2 D. m. The reading of the judges
charge and instructions required just
an hour and at the end of that time
the u jurymen filed from the room III
custody of Sheriff Shad Hodgins and
six bailiffs. AS they left the jury box
Judge Wood said: 'Gentlemen, l
would suggest that you take your chair
cushions with yoa.'
Each juror acted upon the sugges-
ton. The jury room in the court
house had been prepared for their use.
Haywood listened with characteristic
stoicism to Judge Woods lengthy
charge and when the jury retired he
he went back to his cell with
a confident smile about his lips. AS
he was about to leave his gray haired
mother rushed up and kissed him.
There was no other demonstration
No one ventured an opinion as the
jury retired as to the length Of time
that would be required in arriving at
verdict. The jury may report at any
time of the night Or day. The Idaho
laws already provide that jury may
render it's verdict in open court on
Sunday.
Judge Wood in his charge gave the
jury the choice of five verdicts, as
follows:
Murder in the first degree, with a
penalty of death
Murder in the second degree, with a
penalty of ten years to life imprisOn-
ment.
Voluntary manslaughter, with a peu-
atty Of one to ten years.
Involuntary manslaughter, with a
penalty of one to ten years, and not
guilty.
Judge Woods charge contained sixty
eight instructions, which dwelt at
length upon the laws of conspiracy aud
the value of the evidence given by an
accOmpllcS.
'"The law views such evidence with
distrust," he declared, land it should
be received by the jury with caution
and scrutiniZed with great care. And
if from the evidence it appears that
any favors have been extended by The
authorities to Orchard and there is
any promise relating to further favorS
on account of his testimony, they are
proper matters for the jury to take in
to consideration
Judge Woods charge was regarded
by both sides as eminently fair. 1t
anything, it was the consensus Of
opinion that the court leaned to the
defense In regard to the corrobota-
tion of Orchard, Judge Wood said that
the jury should test the value Of such
evidence by eliminating his testimony
with a view to ascertaining if there is
independent testimony tending to
connect the defendant with the offense.
