ATLANTIC CITY MURDER.
Damaging Evidence Against the
Nephew of Farmer Found Dead.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. J., October 81
Jacob Freas, nephew of Absalom Magee,
the wealthy Weymouth farmer who was
killed Sunday morning and who was de-
tanned by the police Monday, and has
been held ever since was formally arrest
ed In jail last night and accused of the
brutal murder.
The accusation was based upon com
bination of circumstantial evidence that
leaves little room for doubt as to Freas'
guilt IN the minds of the police. When
he was searched further yesterday large
quantity of bills was found secreted
about his ankles. inside his stockings and
on other parts of his body. This. In view
of the fact that Freas was begging loans
from friends and others late Saturday
night leads the police to believe he is the
murderer.
They also believe he had an accompllce.
and have a clue to the identity Of the lat
ter. They have made no other arrests,
however. and will not divulge the name
of the other suspect.
Fraas comes of a good family, but is
himself a shiftless fellow, who has been

RECEIVERS FOR CAR PLANT.
South Baltimore Company Reported
in Financial Straits.

BALTIMORE, October 31.-Receivers for
the South Baltimore Steel Car and Foun-
dry Company, Curtis Bay, were appointed
yesterday by Judge Morris In the United
states district coD<t. The financial en-
barrassment of the concern is said to be
due to the stringency Of the money mar
ket, making 1t practically impossible to
secure funds TO realize cash on deIiy-
cries.
The order was signed on the petition of
the Maryland Car Wheel Works, a West
Virginia corporation, which stated that
its claim is S5,043.4 40 on a sight draft nav
able yesterday. 1t was stated that the
obligation could not b. met and applica-
ton was made Immediately for the ap-
pOlntmtnt of receivers to assume Char~-
of the concerns business. The car and
foundry company filed an answer, making
statement ct its assets and liabiliti
and cons 2nting to the action. The re-
ceivers are Arthur g. Wellington and 10
saph r. Foard. The order stipulated that
tAey must furnish bond for 500, $50
within five days.
The petition states that the firm has
other creditors, and that its total indebt-
dhEss IS E3'Ij,S' so, which was admitted
IN the answer. The assets of the con-
cern the PETITION states, will total S. =
bt}'"5o, which are represented by its
plant covering several acres and other
property. 1t is stated that the quick as
SIS OF the concern, such unfinished
cars and other movable materials will
amount to $4,000. 1t is further stated in
the petition that the car works have had
a successful year; that it's profits for the
last hscal year Will total more than $4O0,-
'cp, ana but for the tightneSS of the
money market could easily have pulled
through. The chief causa of the failure to
meet obligations was the general inabil-
ity, 1t is stated, to secure cash for work
done.
1t is understood that the works have a
large number of orders on hand and will
continue. The authorize ID capital stock Of
the concern is S1,500G00.
