JURY CALLS REC
 GIRL A SUICIDE.
Decides That Policeman SheI- lard Did Not Shoot Her.

New York, July 30.-At an inquest held into the death of Barbara Reig. the young woman whose body was found in a shelter house in Irving park. Williamsburg. Brooklyn. on the morning of July 21 with a bullet wound in the head, the jury returned a yer dict to the effect that Miss Reig came to her death by her own hand.
 Policeman David F. Shellard. who has confessed that he was with Miss Reig when she was shot and who has insisted that she committed suicide with his revolver because he told her he could not return the love she pro- fessed for him. was greatly pleased with the verdict.
 Dr Samuel D. Hubbard of Manhat- tan testified that the girl asked him to attend her for an injured right hand two years ago. and he said that he found one of the bones in her hand had been broken in such a way that the fracture prevented her from clos ing three of her fingers. leaving power only in her index finger and thumb. A question from one of the jurors drew from the doctor the opinion that she would have been unable to grasp the butt of a revolver with her right hand As the wound in her head was on the right side. just over the ear. this was taken to mean that she could not have fired the fatal shot
 The other witness was Mrs. Mary Krug of Greene avenue Brooklyn. who testified that Barbara Reig had sup per with her on Sunday. July l9. and that the young woman seemed to he depressed. She stated that when she asked Miss Reig what troubled her Miss Reig replied. Mary. I am afraid of a policeman who has threatened my life" Who is heT' Mrs. Krug said she asked. Ut is Dave" she says Miss Reig responded. Mrs. krug said she understood Dave" to mean Shel- lard.
 Dr Charles wuest testified that he had found black stains on the back of the dead wOman's right hand. To find out whether they were caused by the back fire of a revolver. he said he made several tests shooting a revolver of the same make as that belonging to Sirellard and wearing white gloves He found that exactly the same stains were made on the glove as he found on the Reig woman's hand.
 When Shellard was being taken to jail after the inquest the young wo- mans mother rushed at him crying Murderer and she was kept from attacking him only by several police mon The prisoner has been held by a magistrate for the inquest. and now that that is finished he will be exam ined iu a magistrates court on Aug. I2 on the charge of murder.

HUSBAND AND WIFE
 FOUND DEAD IN LAKE
Suicide, Says Coroner, but Mur-
 der Is Suspected.

Annandale, Minn., July 30.---A sinis- ter aspect was given to the case of the drowning of MT. and Mrs. George Raisbeck of New York at Lake Eylvia when 1t became known that Mrs. Rais- beck's body had been found in about three feet of water in kneeling posi- tion and that she had a long bruise on the side of her face. The body of Mir. Raisbeck, who was New York manu- facturer, was found farther out in the lake in about twenty feet of water. The supposition here is that the wo- man was stunned by blows and drag ged or thrown into the lake, The coro- ner's verdict was that death had been caused by drowning.
 The police believe the couple were murdered by campers around the lake. It has been developed that Raisbeck aroused enmity by his campaign against campers from St. Paul and Minneapolis and that threats against his life had been made. Raisheck was the leader of many cottagers who had combined to drive out alleged dis orderly campers.
 Telegrams have come from Rais- beck's business associates in New York opposing the theory of murder and suicide. Raisbeck was president of a stationery manufacturing compa- ny in New York, and it is said his business friends have engaged private detectives to probe the mystery.

TRY TO BURN UP VICTIM.
Murdered Woman's Body Wrapped In
 Mattress and Set on Fire.

Mattress and Set on Fire.
 New York, July 30. .- Revealing a murder as horrible in its details as it was cunning in planning to prevent de- lection of the criminals. the body of a young woman was found burning, , wrapped in an oil soaked mattress, In vacant lot in Greenpoint. When men of the Greenpoint avenue police station took charge of the body and began searching for clew to the young woman's identity they found themselves baffled at every turn be- cause of the method adopted by the criminals to obliterate everything that might furnish a line of investigation. The throat had been cut, and acid had been poured on the face so as to make identification impossible.
 All that could be learned was that two men driving a covered wagon had driven to the spot about 3:30 o'clock, dumped a heavy burden from the wagon on a heap of rubbish, fingered minute and had driven hurriedly away. It was soon after that that the watchman of a stable 800 feet from the spot saw fire blazing up on the heap of refuse When men were throwing buckets of water on the fire they were mortified to find that within the mattress was human body. A scapular was found on the mur- dered woman's breast, and this is about the only clew the police have. It was home made and larger than is ordinarily worn. It bore a picture of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. With this slight clew the police hope to dis cover the identity of the victim. It was considered remarkable that the scapular was not burned, for it was oil soaked and the clothing over 1t was burned.
 A woman has been found who says that she heard a wagon drive in the early morning to the spot where the body was found. A few minutes later she heard the wagon being driven rap. idly away. It went toward the Green point ferries.

BRYAN, WILL ANSWER TAFT.
Declares Belief That Rival Is No. Sat-
 isfied With Chicago Platform.


 isiisd With Chicago Platform.
 Lincoln, Neb., July 30. Charging that William H. Taft 'is not satisfied with the work of the Chicago con vention' which nominated him as the Republican candidate for the presi- dency and that he is deeply impress ed with the work of the Democratic , convention" William I. Bryan issued . statement in which he expresses the opinion that Mir. Taft fears the up- rising which Republican abuses have caused and yet hesitates to adopt his zeal and substantial reforms" The statement was called forth because of the allegation made by Taft in his speech of acceptance at Cincinnati that Mir. Bryan was a destroyer of business. In regard to the speech MT. Bryan said:
 "I read it and shall discuss 1t as deal with the various subjects upon which it treats. For instance. in . speech at Topeka between now and the 1st of September I shall discuss the guaranty of banks and contrast MT. Taft's position with the Democratic position. In my Labor day speech at Chicago on Sept. shall discuss his attitude on the labor question. In oth- CT speeches shall discuss his atti- tude on the tariff question, the trust question and other questions on which he has expressed himself.
 'The most noticeable feature of his speech is his attempt to amend the Republican platform by engrafting on it some of the blanks of thef Demo cratic platform. He is evidently not satisfied with the work of his conven- tion and is deeply impressed by the work of the Democratic convention"
 Confirmation was given by Mir. Bry- an to the printed story that it was not his intention to make any extended campaign tour, but only to deliver q few prepared speeches at central points before Oct 1. and that dur ing that month he expects to remain home and assist in the educational work of the campaign through the discussion of public questions in the form of signed articles, interviews and letters.

TWO KILLED IN

 powered, and Assailant of Woman Is
 Taken From Cell to Public Square,
 Where He Is Hanged and Shot.
 Pensacola, Fla, July 30.-Three men dead and score wounded, some prob ably fatally. is the record of an at tempt by a mob to storm the county jail and take out the negro, Leander Shaw, who attacked Mrs. Lillian Da- wis near here.
 When the mob, which numbered probably a thousand persons, gathered there was no apparent indication that an attack on the jail was contemplat- ed. A rush was not made until near ly two hours later.
 The first indication was when a rail road iron was brought into play by about dozen men upon the iron gate of the jailyard. At the same moment the entire mob seemed to catch the spirit and with yells and curses dash ed for the jail entrance. Some climb ed over the tall iron fence, while oth- CTS hammered upon the gate.
 Sheriff Pleads In Vain.
 The sheriff, with half a dozen depu- ties, stood in windows upstairs with srawn revolvers and rifles. The sher- lf pleaded with the mob, at the same time telling them he would defend the prisoner at the cost of every life pres ent. His words had no effect. and the moment the first blow was struck on the gate volley of shots flashed from the upper windows of the jail. This was answered by the crowd, which poured volley after volley into the jail windows, wounding two depu- ties. The mob was momentarily driv- en back, with many wounded and one dead. as a result of the deadly aim of the sheriff and his deputies. Later the mob, which in the meantime had been re-enforced by many residents of the surrounding country, made an- other attack on the jail.
 The sheriff and officers were over powered by men who had crept over the rear wall and covered them with rifles and revolvers. Others broke down the cell door and took Shaw out. The negro was carried to the center of the plaza and hanged to an electric light pole, after which fully 800 shots were fired into his dangling body.
 In the last attack on the jail II. c. Kellum, street car conductor. was killed. while two deputies and four or five of the mob were wounded.

The secret council arrived on the Lucania June B and is now scattered in St. Petersburg. Berlin. Madrid Italy. Japan and London. trying to ob- tain converts among those influential with royalty.
