A third wound is found in the top of the head. but whether this was made by third bull let or the exit of one of the other shots. is not definitely stated thus far Another shot broke Hunters right arm, and one lodged in his left thigh still another tore his trousers and barely grazed the right thigh. To crown the work of destruction. Hunt CTS neck was broken. but no expert opinion has been learned as to whether this was done by another bullet or the result of the mans fall. or-by any other form of violence.
 In any event, the perpetrators of the crime were as thorough in their work of destruction as it was possi- ble for them to be. involving the killing of the horse and dogs.

Alice Thaw Sues the Earl
 for a Divorce
On Account of the Kind of Testimony the Proceed ings Will Be Secret.

London. Jan. 3.-AnOther mesalli- ance of member of the English no- bilitv with anC American woman of wealth. became public today. when the Countess of Yarmouth. who was Alice Thaw of Pittsburg, sister of Harry K ThaW. whose second trial for the murder of Stanford White will begin on Monday in New York. applied to the divorce court for the annulment of her marriage to the Earl of Yarmouth. The court has ordered the proceedings to be held in camera and the papers are being kept secret.
 The only inkling Obtainable of the charges preferred is a statement to the effect that the pature of the medical evidence to be given makes a public hearing inadvisable. The countess is staying at Park Hall near E,vesham. Worcestershire. a magnificent country seat which she has leased. decorated and refurnished with lavish eXpendi- ture. She declines to comment on the case. The earl could not be found in his usual London haunts tonight. It k supposed that he is on the COnti- nent. where he spends much of his time
 It has been well known for two years that the domestic affairs of the Var mouth., have been most unhappy. The earIs companions. and his manner of living were such that he could not give his wife the position in society that she had the right to expect. She sup piled immense sums to defray her hus- bands eXtravagancies and her friends say she conducted herself with digni- ty throughout the trouble resulting from her unhappy marriage and her brothers difficulties.

THE PfTTIBONE CASE
 WENT 10 HE JURY
The Courts Restrictions Less Fsyora- ble to the Defense Than in the Hay wood Case.

Boise. Jan. 3.-The jury in the case of George X. Pettibone. charged with conspiracy in the murder of eX-Gov- ernor Steunenberg. began its delib erations at $50 tonight. The last day of the trial was occupied bv the ar gument of James H. H. HawIey for the prosecution and the instructions of the court. The defense carried out its announced resolution not tO argue the case. thus preventing Borah from addre ssing the jury. Hawley fairtS dared the attorneys for Pettibone tO speak in his behalf. but they sat dumb When he concluded and when asked by Judge Wood if any argument would be presented by the defense Judge Hilton answered. Certainly not" The court room was cleared be- fore the jury retired but the attorneys the defendant and few of his friends waited for a time in the hope or hea:- ing verdict tonight
 No session was held this afternoon on account of the illness of Jusnr Stahl. but he recovered sufficiently for the trial to proceed tonight Pet tibone was d very sick man Tng the day but he insisted on the trial being concluded. IL was necessary 90 carry him to the court room t1uigl..
 The instructions of the court ,o the jury differed to some eXten- from those given at the Haywood trial. The judge held that on proof of he exist ence of a conspiracy to kill enemies "f the Western Federation: that the defendant was member of such con spiracy; that Steunenberg was r.- garded as an enemy of the Western Federation. and that his murder was the result Of the conspiracy. the de- fendant should be found guilty.
 The jury was instructed that ii these facts were proved it would not be necessary to show that the deferd- ant was cognizant of the crime charg- ed in the indictment at the time il was committed. The jury was also further instructed that the accompl'ce orchard must be corrobOrated py in dependent testimony tending to con neS the defendant with the crime charged but he said such cor-obCra- tion need not of itself be suffic;en. q" prove the guilt of the accused.
 Borah at the conclusion of t!te trial tonight left for Washington. Berlre leaving he made the annOunc' ulcnt that he had retired from the laT fIrTa of which he is senior member anl that he would retire absolutely from the practice of law during his service in the senate.

The Editor of Die Zukunft Sent to Prison
 for Four Months
The Court Holds That If as He Said, He Did Not Mean What Was Understood His Attack Upon the Count Vas SenseIess.

Berlin, Jan. 3.-The notorious Har- den-von Moltke trial came to an end this evening when the accused editor of the Die Zukunft was sentenced to four months Imprisonment and to pay the entire costs of both the present and the former trials. When the courts reassembled this evening the scene was an impressive one The five judges. constituting the penal bench took their seats with the president of the court in the center. The courtroom was crowded to it's fullest capacity
 The president said in spite of the prisoners assertion that the insinu- ations contained in the articles relat- ed merely to the scientific and artis- tic doings of won Moltke and Prince Philip Zu Gutenberg and that they had nothing whatever to do with their i'm moral and unnatural practices it was evident that if this was the meaning intended to be conveyed the articles were senseless and purpOseless. There is no doubt. the president declared. that Harden had meant to imply that VOn MOltke was possessed of unnatur- al inclinatiOns. while his reference to the intercourse between vOn MOltke and Gutenberg certainly left the inn pression that Illicit relations existed. The intention of the prisoner was to degrade vOn Moltke and Gutenberg in the eyes of the public
 The proceedings had proved that the charges made by Harden were abso- lutely without foundation Both the count and prince were men of artistic tastes. whose friendship dating from youth had grown stronger with the passing years. Harden had founded his charges primarily on statements which he asserted had been made by the late Prince von Bismarck who if he really did say these things had done so in a moment of anger against certain men. Then Harden had re ceived. communications from Mrs. von Elbe the divorced wife of von MOltke a hvstericaI woman who was embiU- tered against the man to whom she had been unhappilv married. The as- sertions made by Dr. Schweninger who at one time was physician tO Bismarck were undoubtedly biased
 Harden. the president went on. had never attempted to obtain proofs against the men occupying such prom inent positions. Had these proofs been in existence they could easily have been had. No serious minded writer should dare for a political object. at tempt to injure the honor of others. All the charges had been utterly dis proved during the trial. Harden could

The Marchioness of Hereford, who has stood by her daughter-in-law through out her troubles, and has eNerted her self to reconcile the couple, is pros trated with grief. The countess her self has suffered from the strain of the past year. Her friends say that she has grown thin rapidly and has worried look. They have advised her to remain in England until after her divorce proceedings, but the countess desires to return to the United States for her brothers second trial and is undecided which course to pursue. Last summer on the ad- vice of MT. and Mrs. George l.. Carne- gie. her brother-in-law and sister. the countess decided to seek the aid of the divorce courts. It was intended tO defer the action until thersecond Thaw trial. but the delay in bringing the case to trial led to change of plans.

No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral of either. A son of A. J. Daggs is en route here from San Francisco and fu- neral arrangements win not be made until he arrives

 Riddled With Bullets
 The greatest interest attaches to the nature of the wounds suffered by the dead men, as affording possible light on the exact circumstances attending their taking off. Concerning the wounds. no statement has been made by the physicians. and it is understood none will be until asked for by the court. A layman's description of the wounds as they are shown on the out side of the bodies is available however.
 The body of Daggs shows wound over the breastbone, directly in the center between the lungs. Another wound an inch or so to the left. seems to be the point of entrance for bull let which emerged some inches to the left. over the heart. travelling in an angular or glancing course Another bullet broke the left arm in the vicinity of the elbow or a little above An other shot struck him at the meeting of the forehead and hair and still anl other entered his head below the left ear.

LAST OF OUR
LIEUT.. GENERALS
Heroic BuCkner Now in
Eighty-FOurth Year.

Louisville, Ky, Sept. 23.-Pre-emi.
nently a state of memories, Kentucky
now has added one of the most
notable ones to her list. The land
of the homes of Lincoln and Of
Davis, of the even split of Civil Wai
times, of THE Grange" the mountain
feuds, the might riders" and sempi-
ternal politics, is now the land Of
the Last Rebel.
This may not be taken to mean thai
in Kentucky only does there survive
a member of Lees great army, which
during the four bloody years of the
sixties, resisted the rush of numbers
and equipment under Grant But il
does mean that the last leader Of
that army lives in Kentucky and
that now there is not a high-ranked
General of that army in the world
but himself The leader is Simon
Bolivar Buckner, of Glen Lily, Hart
county, the last of the brilliant clus-
ter of Confederate Lieutenant Gen
erals who, under Lee and Stonewall
Jackson, made themselves co-equal
with the military genuises of all
time
Four months ago General Stephen
D. Lee, of Vicksburg; General Alex
ander p Stewart, of Biloxi, and Gen
eral Buckner, all three attended the
Confederate reunion in Birmingham
and the thin columns of old soldiers
who passed them in the reviewing
stand cheered wildly for the three
symbols of great rank in the South
The echoes of the faltering feet OF
the old men were hardly dulled in the
Birmingham streets when General
Lee passed from hts peaceful life
at Vicksburg, Leaving only General
Stewart and General Buckner A
week ago General Stewart died, and
in the need of praise which the hosts
of veterans north and south of the
Ohio poured upon his grave, the CEN
serious blame which tacticians gave
him for his flank movement, which is
said to have lost the battle of Get
tysburg, was forgotten, and General
Stewart was remembered for what
he waS-one of the brilliant military
leaders and one of the most notable
citizens of the three centuries of
the nation
General Buckner returned from the
reunion to his usual peaceful life at
Glen Lily. His "a years have bowed
his shoulders and sunken his eyes,
but the old warrior is still man
enough to lead "the boys as he calls
them, against some desperate fortress
