Publishers, Press.l

El Reno, Okla, Jan. S.-Corporal
Knowles, colored, of Company A.
Twenty fifth infantry, was arrested at
Ft. Reno, charged with the shooting
of Captain Macklin on the night of
December 81 The evidence against
him is a blood-stained khaki blouse
found hidden on the target range near
the post. The coat has Knowles in
itials on it, and there is bullet hole
in the left arm.
The coat was found by hunters Sun
day evening They reported to Ser
geant Needham, who procured the
coat and confronted Knowles with it..
Knowles acknowledged it was his. 1t
was tried on him and bullet wound
wos found on Knowles left forearm
corresponding to the bullet hole in the
sleeve When accused of shooting
Captain Macklin, Knowles said he
could prove an alibi by sixteen wit
nesses. When asked to account for
the wound on his forearm he said he
had injured it on a nail.
The negro who shot Captain Mack
lin wore khaki coat. When Cap
tain Macklin was assaulted there
were three shots fired. Two of them
struck the captain in the face, and
the third was never accounted for. 1t
is supposed the negro shot himself ac-
cidentally during the struggle with
Captain Macklin. The captain says
Knowles CORE spends in height to the
man who shot him and his voice is
like that of his assailant
Major Penrose and officers at Ft
Reno are satisfied Knowles is guilty
of shooting Captain Macklin. They
believe he had an accomplice, and that
robbery was the motive

ED THIS TIME.
IPuhIishers. Press.I

New York, Jan. S.-Suprenoe Court
Justice Greenbaum and District At
torney Jerome have decided to make
an attempt to curb yellow newspaper
sensationalists during the Thaw trial.
With the journalistic exaggerations
and contradictions and absolute pre-
varications of the Gillette trial
at Herkimer still fresh in mind, not
TO mention the Nan Patterson and Jo-
sephine Terranova cases, they nave
determined to prevent comment on
the Thaw trial.
There is no objection to straight
away news accounts of the proceed
ings, but the heart throb purveyors,
dope specialists, first-aid-to-the-inju
ed-heart surgeons, ex-ministers, ex-de-
PENDANTS, phrenologists, hypnotists,
astrologers, human document ana
lysts." beauty specialists, mind read
ers and almost-famous folk of one
kind or another, will find themselves
up against it,
I'VE shall see if we can't prevent
the newspapers from trying Thaw,"
District Attorney Jerome is said to
have remarked, and he and Justice
Greenbaum forthwith conferred about
the matter.
There exists widespread interest in
the progress and outcome of the trial.
The defendant is member of one of
the richest families in Pennsylvania;
his wife is a woman over whose beau
ty artists have raved; his sister is a
countess and as such has entree to
the household of King Edward VII
and his victims fame as an architect
bids fair to last century at least.
These circumstances could hardly
fail to arouse public interest. News
paper men from Philadelphia and
Pittsburg have applied for seats at the
Thaw trial. These will be accom-
modated as far as possible, but indi
viduals of the tribe who like to be re-
ferred to as well known writer's" and
IAN author of some note" whose sign
ed articles are filed with maudlin
sympathy, rank distortion and lacka-
daisical sentimentality will be relegat-

son Leaves Hotel and Runs
About the Streets.
HERE ON HER HONEYMOON
HUSBAND AND SURPRISED A
STRANGER BY MAKING UP
WITH HIM.

An otherwise happy honeymoon,
was suddenly turned into sorrow yes
terday afternoon about four o'clock,
when Mrs. Stevenson of New York
city, and formerly Miss Mary Horna-
day, became suddenly crazed and
sought egress from her apartments at
the Westcott hotel, and fed eastward
on Main street with hair streaming
in the winds, while her heart-broken
husband followed in her wake. The
couple was married in Flatbush, New
York, after short and romantic
courtship last Sunday morning. and
as honeymoon trip. Mrs. Stevenson
prevailed in her choice of Richmond
as being the place to go, since she
has relatives in this city and has Wis
tied here many times. They regis
tered at the Westcott yesterday morn
ing.
Mrs. Stevenson descended FROM her
suite of rooms into the lobby of the
hotel in the afternoon, and when she
saw that her husband was following
she ran out onto the street. Her ac-
tions attracted great attention and
crowd followed her as she went east
ward. before SnS nd0 Tedcueu
Twelfth street her husband had
caught up with her and walked at her
side, although she seemed to have an
aversion to him and when they turn
ed south off Main street on Twelfth,
she grabbed hold of strange mans
arm and began talking to him in
most friendly manner. The man was
abashed until the husband indicated
to him that the woman was insane.
He then in all ways possible humored
her. As the three progressed far
ther south, they passed an elderly lady
and Mrs Stevenson said, "Oh, won't
you take care of me, | am crazy"
This frightened the woman very
much She was finally prevailed up
on TO start again towards the hotel,
but was taken into Doan's grocery as
a protection from the cold The city
was called by some excited
person, but was not used, as a cab
was later pressed into service and the
woman was taken to the
home of her uncle, Dan r. Parker, on
North Tenth street.
Mrs. Stevenson is of very nervous
and the physician who
waited upon her said that her attack
was only temporary attack of ner-
vouS prostration.
