BURNED TO DEATH

PENSACOLA, Fla, Dec. 15.-Burned
10 death while sleeping in his own resi-
dence, was the fate of John Walker, a
prosperous planter of near Milligan, last
night. thus meeting identically the same

Walker did not reach his home until a
late hour last night, and fearing he
would disturb members of his family
took an unoccupied room on the second
floor of the house.
During the night the house caught on
fire, and while other occupants had mar
row escapes Walker found himself cut
off from all avenues of escape and
while he was seen at one time to appear
at a window, he was quickly enveloped
in flames.
His body. burned to a crisp. was re-
covered this morning.

SAY HUSBAND INNOCENT
.0F THREE WOMEN's DEATH

SAVANNAH, Ca, Dec. ia chemical
analysis of bloodstains found on bundle
Of clothing owned by j. c. Hunter, huab-
band of the last of the three women vio-
Tins of the Perry street murders herA
to die, practically eliminated Hunter from
suspicion of guilt as the perpetrator OF
the terrible crimes.
The anlysis was made at the request Of
the police by City Bacteriologist Victor
Basset and has declaration is that though
Hunter declared the stains to be a var1-
ETY. OF varnish, yet they are blood, how
ever, they are not recent stains and must
be older than several days, therefore
could not have been made at the time
of the murder Of Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Oh
lander and Mrs Gribble.
An affidavit was obtained from J. NJ
Robertson, a fellow-workman OF Hunter.
too, that asserts that during the time
the murders must have been committed,
Hunter did not leave his sight long
enough to go to the Gribble home and re-
turn.
Hunter and William walls. who also IL
a prisoner and was close friend OF Mrs.
Hunter. were given a refined variety OF
the third degree by the police. Neither
knew Mrs. Hunter was dead.
The husband was led into q room where
his wife lay in her coffin. Suddenly he
was brought face to face with the dead
woman.
He showed much emotion, but asked to
be allowed to kiss her, and did so. Walls,
declaring that he would rather have his
head cut off than harm her" was allowed
to fondle the dead woman's hands.
The problem the police face now is to
apprehend a negro man seen at the Crib
bic home with an axe in his hand at
about the time of the murders. Find this
man, they believe, and they viii solve
the mystery.

retary ofState Hastings would accept
Judgeship. This objection and
obstacle overcome by Mr.. HASTINGS
bowling to the wishes of the governor.
a great stir arose over the office of
secretary of State, thus to be vacated
by the promotion of its incumbent.
This was formerly Delaware's fattest
office, having paid the last two in
cumbents sums variously estimated
at from $40, 900 to $40, 900 bv reason
OF the home and foreign corporation
business. Now, however, it has been
placed on fiat salary of S4, 900 but
young lawyers imagine that it is still
great stepping stone and does not
interfere with regular practice, as
there are experienced deputies in the
office upon whom fall the bulk of the
detailed work. Leonard E. Wales.
a member of prominent Wilmington
family, lawyer and a nephew of the,
late Federal Judge L. E. Wales, is
believed to have been singled out as
the man to succeed Mr.. Hastings as
