O'CONNER GIVEN
ANOTHER CHANCE
Charged With Wife Beating
and NOn.suppOrt. But
Case is Held Up

After going into long hearing in
the case Of Edward o'conner. charged
in the City Court with wife beating
and non-support. Judge Cochran to-
day held up the case for one week 70
see II the defendant would abide by an
agreement no entered into last July.
when he was charged with the same
whereby he would tRke two Of
his children. leaving the other two
with their mother. and give the latter
$3.50 a week for their support. This
agreement Humane Agent Frank Stout
informed the court. had not been lived
up to. and now the defendant is to be
given another chance The wibe-beat-
ing charge, as well as the nonesupport
case. was held up.
Mrs o'Conner, who appeared as a
witness against her husband. had a
discolored eye. which she said was
caused by her husband striking her
with his fist In the home OF her par
ents. at No. 10 Lord street, on last
Saturday night. OConner, however,
claimed that the woman received the
wound by falling against a stove.

tho body been struck by the propeller OF
a boat it would have come to the surface
a long time ago, Another fact is that no
boat has passed through the canal since
December when that waterway became
ice-bound
Aside from these opinions, however It
Is recalled that Dover disappeared on
November 8 and his body may have been
IN the canal a month or more before navl-
cation was closed there. II is hardly like
ly that the body has been where Il was
recovered all the time, and the canal
snot so deep above Delaware City. where
a body may have been struck by the
wheel of a deep-draught vessel
Beside the ugly wound across the dead
mans abdomen wounds were inflicted on
each side Of his face and they might have
been inflicted by blows from a hatehet
The broken bones IN the mans body are
unacoounted for except that they may
have been caused by a boats propeller.
Taking all the conditions into consider
alton the jurors decided that a foul MUIR
der had been committed and returned
their verdict accordingly.
State Detective Harry l. ellis Is now

COURT REFUSED
TO HOLD GIFFING
Man Who Buried His Dead
Brother Arrested for Car
iDg for Latter'S S Effects

Judge Cochran IN the City Court to-day
refused to hold Winfield Citing, a gro
ceryman at Second and searles streets,
for the Pennsylvania authorities on
warrant issued in that state for the mans
arrest Citing was accordingly dismissed
and the prevailing opinion is that the
man was the victim of an injustice.
Citing was arrested on a warrant sworn
out in Philadelphia and was being he'd 10
await the action Of the Pennsylvania au-
thorities He was charged by Mrs Amy
Citing. the widow Of Davis j. Citing, Of
Philadelphia, who was recently killed at
French street station OF the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, with going to Philadel-
phia and removing the effects Of her hus-
band and bringing them to this city.
l.. Irving Handy appeared to-day for
Mr. Citing and informed the court that
his client was unjustly accused. He said
that the wife OF the man killed on the
railroad had not lived with him for two
years and that when the unfortunate man
was killed the body was taken in charge
by the mans brother Winfield. his client,
and shipped to Maryland for interment.
The defendant then went TO his deceased
brothers boarding house in Philadelphia.
and brought his effects to this city.
When the dead mans wife came here
and demanded her husbands effects Mr..
Citing asked if there had been any let
ters of administration granted to her and
when he learned that there had not, he
refused to give up the goods. The wife
then had the warrant issued for his ar
rest.
Mr. Handy said his client was re-
sponsible citizen and he was Of the opin-
ion that the Pennsylvania authorities
would not ask for requisition. If they did
he said his client could be easily found
in the city as he not only had a store but
had employment az the Harlan ana Hol-
lingsworth Corporation.

apeake canal was the substance Of the
verdict returned by the jury impaneled by
Coroner Galloway yesterday afternoon>in
the case Of Thomas Dover, the Fort Du-
Pont arulleryman whose mutilated body
was found in the canal on Wednesday az
ternoon
The verdict was as follows:
Resolved. That Thomas Dover. aged
IS years. member Of the Forty-nfth
Coast Artillery, stationed at Fort DUPONT,
came to his death in Delaware City, be-
tween November s. the time of his disap-
pearance, and February ~. when his body

Of the jury
Coroner's Physician J. w. Bastian yes
terday morning made an autopsy on the
body. which was in bad shape, and he
concluded that the big gashes about
Dover's body, as well as the breaking OF
the bones in the arms and legs. were not
caused by knife or other keen instru-
ment but gather by the blades OF a boat
propeller. The physician, however pointed
out that certain wounds about the head
might have been caused by a knife or
a sharp blade, but they were of a diger-
ent character from the mutilations OF the
body. Notwithstanding this. the jurors in-
clined TO the theory Of murder, and in
reaching their murder verdict they took
into consideration the condition Of the
canal and other things in the vicinity Of
where Dover's body was recovered.
Rivermen's Theory.

oner that the propeller OF boat is about
three and a half feet beneath the sur
face Of the water while the depth OF

JAPAN CLAIMS
CHINESE LAND
Expected That MikadO Will
Soon Attempt TO Seize the
YaIu Islands
By THE JOURNALS Special wire.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire
PEKIN. Feb. 2s.--News that Japan has
laid claim TO the Yalu River Islands as
Korean territory has fairly paralyzed
Chinese oficialdom. That the islands be-
long TO China has never before been
questioned, Though neither of great ex-
tent nor value. they are Of some strategic
importance. and to be forced to surrender
them without the shadow OF pretext on
theMikado's part would be the deepest
possible humiliation 10 the Chinese. The
claim is generally accepted here as a
mere basis for trouble and as threaten
ing TO bring the increasing friction be-
tween the two governments to a crisis
very soon.
No formal demand for the islands has
been made. but it IS assumed that the
Japaneses will soon attempt to seize them.
China hasbee n taken completely by sur
prise and is undecided what to do. but
sentiment in government circles strongly
favors resistance.
