Most Of these bodies were but bones

Winnipeg Has Horrible Crime
Committed in. Busy Hours
Of Evening Il. :

Winnipeg Dec. 21.-Murdered In 2he
most brutal manner in their laundry
shack at 214 Jarvis street, few feet
from Main street, at an hour when
scores Of people must have been pass
ing, two Cinnamon, Kung Pow and
Jung Leon, were found lying in1pools
OF: blood by O. customer who entered
the shop for his washing few min
,utes before IL o'clock last night. Cir
cumstances connected with the crime
strongly suggest the theory that the
murder was committed by Chinese
Highbinders, and the police are work
ing on this hypothesis. The throats
of both men were cut with a big clasp
knife, and their heads were horribly
hacked with an ave. These imple-
ments were found beside the bodies.
Money was found in the pockets Of
the dead men, but their valises and
trunks, lying IN an upper room, were
rifed. It is likely that some money
was taken, as the tin. box in. which
the two kept their change had been
ransacked. Other signs, however; sup.
port the theory that the crime was
done by Chinese hatchet-men who
sought something which was possessed
by their victims, other than money.
"A few checs for various amounts.
and other valuables. were left intact.
b Between 8 and IL O'Clock.
The police are able to account for
the actions Of the two murdered men
in such q manner as to fix the time
of the crime definitely between the
hours of 8 o'clock and II o'clock. 1t
was shortly before midnight, however,
when man whose identy is known,
and who will be called as a witness at
the inquest, entered the front room of
the laundry to get his washing. The
air In the place was foul with the
odor Of blood, and the man drew back
instinctively, even before his eyes had
become accustomed to the dim light.
When he looked again he saw sight
SO horrible that he backed from the
door with q shrek and dashed down
the street. Near the laundry he met
q man named Highley, to whom he
chartered a brief description of the
awful scene In the laundry, and 1t was
Highley who located Policeman J. e.
Armstrong on his beat at the corner
of Jarvis and Main.
Armstrong went to the shack, and
entered the front room. "A common oil
lamp sputtered on an ironing table
near the door, and q second lamp
threw a sickly light over the cluttered
bcak room. Staring at him from the
floor of this second room, just within
the door, Armstrong saw the stark
face of q Chinaman covered with
blood, the features twisted into an
awful expression Of abjeet terror,

Baltimore, Nd, Dec. 22.-Ex-Sena-
tor Wellington created a sensation in
court yesterday afternoon when az q
witness in the suit for divorce brought
by DIR. Pierce B. Wilson, In which he
10 named as correspondent, he called

famous liar.
He denied having had any improper
relations with the woman and followed
this up by shaking his finger at Thos.
%. Weeks, DR.. Wilson's counsel, and
saying, "a9d when you retail such
rumors as that you are an infamous
liar!"
B Senator Wellington added that he
would be glad to repeat the statement
to the lawyer outside the court room.
Judge Gerter interrupted at this
point with his gavel. Senator We'll
-lington was greatly excited and shout
ed his denials at the top Of his voice.
He said that all the testimony con-
Meeting his name with that Of Mrs.
Wilson was false. He used the phrase
"infamous liar" so often that Attor-
ney Weeks asked him IL he was ac-
quainted with. President Roosevelt.

Excitement Aroused.
The incident aroused intense ex-
citement. DIR. Wilson, the, plaintiff,
had preceded Wellington on the stand
and said, that few days after the
birth of their baby Mrs. Wilson had
confessed to him her relations with
former United States Senator George
4. Wellington.
After that, said the physician,

given BY her husband. s.
DR.. Wilson said that he had met his
wife in 1895 and that they were mar
ried In February, 1898. About that
time he said he entered into q partner
ship with her father, who had q drug

PRODUCE PRICES.

The raise in prices of beef announced
by the Chicago packers yesterday has
already taken effect on the local mar
ket. The best grades oe cattle which
were bringing from $3.50 to $500 per JOG

to $3.50 to S7.25. and the secondary grades
have gone up correspondingly A COM

this morning that these conditions
would last we'll into July. The packers
say there IS "a shortage of cattle.

DAYS GAINS.

NEW YORK, June 1O.-There WASH I
enough doing on the exchange to give
the brokers a fair days pay for their
labors. The public is coming 10 believe
that II is a good market ID let alone.
Conditions, despite fine crop reports. are
not conducive TO sharp recOveTies, the
more so rs the Presidential elections
loom up IN increasing Importance. Close
observers of the situation have recOg-
nlzed a disposition toward the diStrl-
button or stock on strong points, and
they have come 10 believe that the ma
Lpulatlon has had this distribution as
its object This has led them 10 keep
ing out OF the market, even while they
watch IL with interest. A tour OF the
brokers' offices this morning showed
about half OF the usual attendance Of
room traders, and less than One-QUaTter
OF the usual trading.
Despite this al-prevailng Quietnes5
that market showed a fairly strong
tone. and a number Of small gains were
made throughout the list. The leading
rails We're all frmer, extending in
some cases 10 an advance OF over
point. generally averaging lad84, while
even the Gold stocks shared in the bet
terment. The fact that AIr. Gould has
left this country is taken 10 mean that
conditions with his various properties
are satisfactory. and that his agree
ment with Hartman, providing for an
ending of Eastern invasion BY the big
magnate, is a good thing for his secu-
rlties. Missouri Pacific gained two
points.
It was confidently expected that the
announcement Of a cut IN the prices
OF steel products, with the exceptions
OF rails, did not have q bad effect on
industrials. as they were generally
lrmer. Steel common regained a dtvi-
dend In short order and other indus
trials showed a firm tone. Copper was
stronger.
There was not the slightest improve
ment in the volume of business trans
acted, the market holding just as duh
we'll into the afternoon. There was
some little let UP in prices and the
ga ms we're reduced TO practically p
ana q.
II was the dullest day for months and
IS not likely 10 stimulate either invest
ment or speculation.
