The murderer, after committing
the frightfuE crime, realized the ter
rible felony and turned the deadly
blade upon his own throat. The at
tempt at suicide was not successful,
however, and he must have fallen

FIRE had Its origin in the rear Of the
building in the basement Il shot
upward through the dumb waiter
shafts and had obtained a start on

Instantly the inmates became
panic stricken and in all stages Of
attire rushed into the street, The
narrow stairways became packed
with lighting humanity and the po-
lice and fremen had to fight their
way through to reach the upper

Frightened women and children

capes where the fremen reached
them before they jumped to the
pavement, Others reached the scut,

The bodies Of the victims were
discovered by the 6remen after the
fire was extinguished.

ST. JOHN, Or, Oct, 2l.-Some
later particulars Of the murder of
Henry Butterworth developed today
and the community Is much aroused
That there was a desperate strug-
gle in the darkness is evident by the
condition Of the ground and the fact
that the revolver with which Butter
wort was shot was held so close to
him that his coat was burned and
ihe sound Of the shot was lnufled.
The Butterworth home Is at 4i6
North fillmore street. To reach it
the murdered man, who was very
methodical in his habits, usually left
the jewelry store at about 9 o'clock
and walked out the main street Of
the town for three blocks and then
turned up to the FIRST street east un-
iii he reached a path leading along
an unopened street half a block 10
his own back door. AT the corner
where he left the board walk and
turned into the path there is large
tree standing about two feet above
the level of the walk and within six
feet Of the path II Is probable that
the would.be robber crouched behind
the trunk Of this tree until his in
tended prey came along. and then
sprang out with pointed gun and a
demand that Mr. Butterworth throw
Up his hands, Butterworth wore a
diamond ring valued at $3.50, and it
Is probable that the hold-up man
knew this and was acquainted with
his habits.
The ieweler was a rather large
man Of athletic build, one who would
put up a game fight, and i seems
that He refused to sunbit 10 being

held up without struggle. He must
have knocked up the highwayriiaf's 5
gun and grappled with him, and III
the end the robber was lighting for
liberty rather than for the diamond
he first wanted.
Apparently Butterworth got the
better Of the struggle and drove the
man back into the street. where he
forced him TO his knees For in the
mud Of the road was found the print
OF mans knee and Of hand. They
were not Butterworth's, for there
was no mud on the knee Of his
trousers nor on his hand
Il must have been when the jewel
'er had forced his asailant down and
was bending over him still trying to
subdue him that the murderer fred
the fatal shot. The course taken BY
the bullet would seem 10 indicate
this. When Butterworth, mortally
wounded, staggered back and loos-
ehed his hold the robber probably
snatched the ring from his hand and
fed, leaving absolutely no clue as to
his identity,
i am sure the murder was com.
mitted BY a professional criminal,
stated Chief Of Police Black this
morning, He was evidently a strang

here long enough to know Mr. But
terworth's habits, and that he wore

long, however, for Mr., Butterworth
was very methodical in Ills habits.

eral defense, not to mention her pension
roll; a sum greater in the aggregate than
any other nation expends, If the pension
roll is included, and second to Great
Britain only without it. We have to
show for it a splendid navy and an effec-
tive, though small, army. Probably we
do not get quite the same value for our
money that some other nations do, on ac-
count of the higher wage scale and stand
ard of living. But the main considers
tion is that we should keep pace with
other great nations. for it is only by be-
ing prepared that the United States can
maintain her rights. OF course il is gem
orally lamented that nations cannot adopt
more civilized method than war to set
tie disputes of any and all kinds, and
thus make unnecessary all this costly
preparation, which is closely akin TO
waste, but this is one of the things left
for the future to adjust. At present We
must deal with conditions as they are.
Questions as to the wisdom OF certain ex-
penditures, as for instance, whether four
or two bsttleships should be authorized
by the present Congress, are subordinate
to the main conclusion, TO the effect that
we must not lag behind in the vital, if
foolish, struggle for ornaments.
