BODIES OF TWO
ARE RECOVERED
ALEXANDRIA YOUNG COUPLE
ENDED LIVES BY SHOOTING
IN SUICIDE PACT.

Keokuk, April 9.-The bodies OF
Herman Bartlett and Belva Pugh, the
young couple who disappeared from
Alexandria, Mo-, last Sunday night,
were found lying side by side on the
bank OF the slough on the Andy Den
ming farm, about two miles south Of
the town, and near where the hat Of
Bartlett was discovered Wednesday,
William Lake and another young
man came across the bodies and Lake
Immediately came to Alexandria and
made report, which resulted in a
large party starting for the scene.
Ended Lives by Shooting.
According to the report of Lake, the
couple had not committed suicide by
drowning, but had walked to the spot
and had there ended their lives by
shooting.
He said that Bartlett's coat wns
hanging upon the barbed wire fence
and that the two bodies were lying
side by side on the ground, with blood
marks about them.
He had not made any further exam
ination, but had identified young
Bartlett, whom he knew, and had
then hurried back to Alexander TO
tell the news of his gruesome dis
covery.
The bodies both show bullet holes IN
the head The revolver with. which
the double suicide was committed was
found lying between the two bodies.
Did Not Jump Into River.
The couple left the Pearl hotel at
Alexandria some time during Sunday
night, leaving their cloak and over
coat and a note stating that they
would leap into the river togethe"
Their foot prints were traced to the
river front and since that time, dill
gent search had been made by drag
ging the river, without success.
Young Bartlett's father, William
Bartlett, ex-sheriff of Clark county
had been diligently searching for the
couple since Monday morning. He
had been to Monmouth looking for the
couple and yesterday sent man down
to Hannibal, where there was re
port that the couple had been seen
there. Yesterday the boys hat was
| found in the river about three miles
south Of town.
Disappeared Sunday Night.
From the finding of the bodies or
the slough bank and the report by
Lake that they had not been in tht
water, the conclusion is that the
couple did not jump into the river bu
had walked to the bank Sunday even
ing and then wandered off together
| down the river shore.
No reports had been received since
they disappeared, SO they had evident
ly spent the time in the woods.
The report from Alexandria Yves
not lengthy yesterday afternoon ant
lit was not known just when the cou
pie took their lives, but it was possibl.

upon the law from the viewpoint of the
defense in the suit instituted by the
government, to have the Standard Oil

New York, April 9.--Lieutenant
Joseph Petrosino did more to stamp
out the Black Hand in America than
any other man. He was on mission
to Italy, his native home, to do his
part in keeping out OF America the
criminal Italians, when he was muir
dered. Petrosino was sent there un-
der the direction of Police Commits
sioner Bingham of New York to es-
tablish bureaus, with fund of $780,
600 raised by public subscription IN
this country, by means Of which bu-
reaus it was to be made possible to
apprehend any criminals sailing from
Italy for America.
Lieutenant Petrosino was there
about year. Before leaving he was
threatened, but this made no impress
sion and he determined to go just the
same. During his work in New York
he did more toward stamping out the
Malta, the Camorra and Black Hand
than any other five men on the force.
In this connection he gained the i'll,
feeling of all criminal classes and it
is due to this that he lost his life. He
died martyr to his cause and the
loss of his services will be . great
blow to the world.
