that he was master of his opponent at
any kind Of fighting. Round after
round. Ketchel forced his opponent and
when opportunity offered planted his

escaping without damaging return. In
fact ketchel was stronger up TO the

Papke was.

ringside and toppled through the ropes,

SENSATIONS
COME OFTEN
New one in the Paris Murder
Case To-day
NINE. STEINHEIL is TRAGIC
Being Accused of Poisoning the Late
President Faure, She Threw Up
Her Hands and Went Into q
Dead Faint.

Paris, Nov. 27,--There was a big sen.
sation in the Steinheil murder case when
Minister of Justice Bryand withdrew the
proceedings from Magistrate Boucard
and detailed Magistrate Andre 10 hear
the case. Weeping and moaning in St
Lazare prison, Nine. Steinhei refuses to
talk Of the death Of President Faure.
Being accused of poisoning the president,
she threw up her hands and fell in a
dead faint. When she was revived she
refused to utter word.
Damade Steinheil made a confession
to two newspaper men. She declared
that a man named Alexander Wolf was
the murderer of her husband. Wolf
was arrested and examined by the au-
thorities. He denied all guilt and said
he was ready TO prove an alibi. Mad
anne Steinheil then weakened and said
il it was not Wolff, the man who COM
mitted the crime rescmbled him strongly.
Then suspicion turned upon Madame
Steinhei herself and at o'clock it was
announced that she had been locked up
in the prison OF st. Lazare under war
rant of arrest. No charge, however, was
specified. Wolff also was held, but not
on warrant.
One of the surprises Of the day was
the rclevation of the fact that Madame
Japy, who was murdered at the same
time as was Steinheil, was not Madame
Steinheil's mother, as had been supposed,
but her step-mother.
The end of a sensational day brought
a crop OF sensational rumors II was
said that Minister Of Justice Bryand had
ordered an investigation Of Che open
charges that Madame SteiDheil had been
the mistress OF NJ. Leydett, the exam
lining magistrate in the case, and that
NJ. Leydett has been instrumental in
sitting the investigation Of the case.
Chief Of Detectives Hamard was cred.
tied with the statement that WoyfT had
practically established his alibi and that
open suspicion had been cast upon Mad
anne Steinheil. Couillaud, the man ar.
rested several days ago on suspicion, was
released last evening.

days ago to prepare to turn over his
Office to his successor.

his colored servant, Scud tPeter Brown
seek shelter in the lighthouse. The

all Of his vast estates when he had dis
inherited his own son, Paul Hunter, alias

Hunter and Murray by reading their

really is, and finally brings about a rec

disclosing herself to be Muray's deserted
wife, and that the girl, Bess Starbright
Miss Annie Summersl, whom she had
cared for, was Hunters lost daughter,
who had been cast up by the waves and
