The third degree-the spectacular, blood

magazine and melodrama writers like to
talk about-is myth. There never has
been any such soul-trying experience in

hands of the authorities since the days of
the Spanish inquisition.

wits-a matching of will and power, with

"The Duke of Killicrankie, another of
Captain Robert Marshall's clever come
dies. in which John Drew made quite a
hit, will be given its first local presenta-
ton at popular prices by the Orpheum
Players at the Chestnut Street Theatre,

romance, possessing all the thrills, adven-
lures, and heartaches of medieval love

in a class by itself. 1t is robust and
amusing play, full of surprises, daring
action and smooth comedy, despite the
fact that it's chief characters are of The
genteel kind, members of exclusive Eng
fish circles The story is related in three
acts-the first scene being III the Dukes
home in London, the other two at his old
and picturesquely located castle in Scot
land. Four times has the Duke, who,
even though he has wealth and title, is
likeable sort of a chap, proposed to
Lady Henrietta and four times his offer
of marriage was refused. Gently, but
firmly Lady Henrietta has told the Duke
that she cannot love him, because he is
not like other successful men-he lacks
daring, enterprise, perseverance and per-
sistence. The Duke is impressed by this
rebuke and decides that he will prove to
the lady that he does possess these quail
ties. Thereupon he concocts daring
scheme-he plans to abduct the lady and
hold her prisoner in his castle until she
surrenders her heart to him and agrees to
become his wife.

Suspicious Death.

A death occurred on Hume street, last
evening, which is to be investigated by
the coroner, as the circumstances are such
as need thorough searching.
Henry Gitterson, native of Denmark.
lives on Hulme street. He is a carpenter,
but his habits have been somewhat disso-
lutte. He is about 70 years of age. His
wife, aged SO, also native of Denmark,
lived with him in a house they had re-
Gently purchased. Reports lead to
the belief that their home life was not
particularly pleasant.
Last evening Gitterson went home with
a bottle in which he had a half pint of
whiskeY. His story is that he purchased
the liquor and also bought some carbolic
acid. When he got home he took drink
from the bottle and then poured the acid
wife, and he said he made the mixture for
the purpose of killing vermin at the
chicken house Examination of the lat
ter place failed to show where any of the
liquid had been used.
Later in the evening the wife. according
to the mans story, got the bottle and
took drink from it. A neighbor who
was immediately summoned. wanted tc
administer an emetic, but she found il
was too late, as the poison had done its
work. DR.. Haines was called, but the
woman was dead when he arrived.
Detective Parker was put to work OF
the case this morning and when on his
way to the house he met the husband
Coroner Grobler was with the detective
and they at once took Gitterson in charge
and went to the home of DR.. Haines
Gitterson had told the officers that he saw
the woman about to take drink from thu
bottle and that he warned her not to d.
it. This he said he had already told DIR
Haines, but the latter said he had no
heard the story before.
Detective Parker questioned the hus
band closely about the occurrence, and thu
latter told him at first that the woman
drank the stuff In the house and fell GU
of the door, later he said she drank it out
side and fell as she tried to re enter tn
, house. He said she had been out ant
when she died he thought of the bottl
and at once went to an clubhouse where b
he found the bottle. AS the poison mus
have acted very quickly, it is doubtful
the woman could have gone from tn
place where the bottle was found to tn
house and lived.
Coroner Grobler is investigating the cas-
and will hold an inquest.

The snow, as it adhered to trees, wires
and fences, presented an illustration of
the uncertainty of the weather, the pre-
dictions for Thursday being clear and
warmer, which missed it by mile. To
say the least the storm was an unwelcome
visitor, and the manner of its appearance
brought forth references to billiards
which have heretofore presented them
selves in March, and at a time when 1t
could be reasonably expected that winter
weather was thing Of the past.
Lying unconscious in the street, with
blood flowing from a deep cash In his
head, and pair of wire-cutters In his
right hand resting on a heavily charged
electric light wire, T. Wilson Stiles, of
Moorestown, was found by William B.
Harrington on Chester avenue Wednes-
day night. In glance Harrington realiz.
ed what had happened, and the necessity
for quick action. He knew that he could
not drag the victim to safety without
running the risk of being shocked into
insensibility himself. With some branch
es which had been blown from a tree
nearby he succeeded in knocking thu
wire-cutters out of Stiles nerveless hands
and by so doing broke the connection will

face of the unconscious man and die

A physician was hastily summoned, the
victim carried into house in the neigh

consciousness. He explained that he hat
seen the wire lying in the road, blown
down by the high wind, and as he happen
ed to have pair of pinchers in his pocket
thought he would cut 1t and get 1t out o
the way of traffic. He had not noticed l
