by the coroner's jury Friday. The
Monon president was shot with his
own revolver, held in his own hand.
the verdict reads, but whether acct
dentally or with suicidal intent is not
specified. The jury said the former
explanation was the less probable.
The finding of the jurors is described
as IAN open suicide verdict"
The verdict was reached after
three hours session and after much
lively debate in the jury room.
Although none of the jurors would
talk about their action, 1t was said
that three held out for a verdict of
suicide and the others for one of &C
cidental shooting, and that the open
verdict returned was compromise,
to break the deadlock.

contest the payment of policies is said
Ito be assured, and it is declared that
relatives of the slain railroad prest-
lent will bring court proceedings to
collect the insurance.
No representative of the Rawn fam
lily was present when the jury's find

among those present at the close of
the inquest was that the jury had
taken the only course open to it.

Montreal. ,Que.-After being fully
identified by Inspector Dew of Scot
land Yard, Doctor Crippen, who is
charged with the staying of his wife,
known on the stage in London as
Belle Elmore, was Sunday placed I'M
der arrest by Chief Mccarthy Of the
Quebec provincial police, assisted by
Chief Davis of the Dominion police on
board the steamer Montrose at Father
Point.
Crippen, on the verge of a col
lapse, with his voice so weak it scarce
ly could be heard by Magistrate An
gers, announced in court Monday that
he would not make a fight against ex-
tradition to London.
This statement followed his formal
arraignment in the provincial court
on the charge of staying IAN unknown
woman" the police believe to be his
missing wife, Belle Elmore, the Amer
lean actress.
Crippen's hearing, at the suggestion
of Inspector Dew, was continued Is

time, unless he decides to fight ex
tradition, he will be sent back to
England Crippen's companion in
fight, Miss Ethel Clare Leneve, was
to have been arraigned with the Amer
lean. but her custodians reported to
the court that she was too i'll to ap-
pear. The authorities are confident
that the woman will give no more
trouble than Crippen promises to.
Miss Leneve was transferred from
the provincial jail to hospital. The
girl scarcely has been able to stand
since her collapse when she was taken
into custody Her condition has ex-
cited much sympathy.

No one came for long time, save
one old woman, who laid a little

the image, in gratitude, doubtless, for
restoration from disease. BY and by
shrill, childish cry made us turn
A little girl had fallen and hurt her
self; the little knee had bruised itself
against the sharp corner of an I'M
even aagstone. Tears wclled up In
her eyes and trickled down her cheeks
as the small one held up her knee for
the old woman's inspection. The rose
leaf skin was broken where the pave
ment had scratched 1t.
The old woman bent over the little
sufferer and whispered consolation.
The look of pain passed, and conf
dence took its place. Hand in hand,
the two crossed over to the figure of
the god. The woman ciapped her
hands, uttered prayer, stroked the
gods knee with her withered hand,
and then rubbed the little human
knee very tenderly.
The cure was effected at once; the
child smiled up at the ugly deity
gratefully, with naive affection in her
eyes. The impassive stone statue
seemed beautiful to her now. The
dear old god had kissed her knee and
made 1t well, so of course she loved
him. and would think of him often,

courage and almost as slow and clum-

absurd to give him weapons of de-
Tense; he would never have the energy
to attack anything, so he was given a
coat Of mail in which he might walk
abroad among his enemies and yet be
as safe as though he were behind a
wall Of steel. His upper parts, from
his nose to the tip Of his thick, muscu-
lar tail, are covered with a mass of
sharp pointed quilts intermixed with
coarse hair. Each quill is provided
with a number Of minute barbs point

inserted in the flesh Of any animal the
