clares, be called upon Monday to face
the charge of killing his 3-year-old
child The morning the alleged short
age in Coles accounts were to have been
exposed, Wednesday. his wife was
awakened by the death struggles OF
their child. Her frantic cries aroused
neighbors, who found the BABY dead,
the mother nearly craZed and the fath-
er In a stupor, apparently from the
fumes of gas, which pervaded the house
An inquest brought out the facts that
the childs death was probably due TO
chloroform. The county authorities De"
leye that Cole first chloroformed the
child, and then turned on the gas, In
tending to kill himself and wife. They
believe that Mrs. Cole was awakened
by the fumes and fought for her life.
Burns about the child's mouth and
nose started the investigation, and
bottle partly filled with chlorofornl and
several cloths which had been saturated
with the drug are among the evidence
secured.
The only reason Coles friends can
possibly find for such an act, IL ne dld
it, was that he was insane at the time.
Coles attorney, Guy 3. Moore, says
he cannot understand the man unless
he is considered out of his mind.
The actions of the young man since
going to Jail strengthen this opinion OF
Mr.. Moore, il is alleged. He is silent
and apparently unaffected.
Accountants are now going over
Coles hooks in an effort to ascertain the
exact amount of the shortage. Accord

BARE CHANCE LEFT
Of Saving the silvia-About 90 Tons OF
Freight Saved.

New Bedford, Mass, March 1o.-Tue
L ]. Merritt of the Merritt Wreckins
Co. arrived in port tonight with Capt
Farrell and the members IF the wreck
ed steamer Silvia's crew.
Capt. Farrell is stopping at a loca
hotel, while the crew is quartered al
the Seamen's hotel. The crew will &c
down to the wreck tomorrow morning
with Capt. Farrell and if the steamer is
not then approachable the crew Will
be brought back to this port and sent
to New York.
Wrecking Master Dennison of tho
Merritt Co. stated that about 60 tons
of freight were taken from the Silvie
today. The seas were breaking COM
pletcly over the wreck when he came
away late this afternoon and the gale
was increasing. The steamer was roll
ing in the surf, but if the seas do not
rise to great proportions Mr.. Dennisor
says the steamer can be saved.
The crew brought only part Of Their
dunnage ashore, most of it being of
Cuttyhunk.
The big wrecking steamer Relief OF
the Merritt Co. is on her way from
New York to assist in floating the Sill
via The theory advanced today by
the crew as to why the Silvia went
ashore on the Sow and Pigs reef is
that a submarine bell was constantly
heard on the port side of the vessel.
This was undoubtedly the signal on
tine new Hen and Chickens lightship
only on her station six weeks and the
vessel was kept up to clear Gay Head.
The officers did not know about the
new lightship and supposed they were
hearing the signal from the Vineyard
Sound light vessel all the time.
