Horrible Murder Trial.

New York, Specialize prisoner
on trial for his life in the New York
courts is ever remembered to have
faced such an array of hostile facts
and heartrending testimony with
such stolid indifference as did Albert
Wolter Wednesday when confronted
with the charred fragments of the
body that once was Ruth Wheeler,
whom he is charged with Turing to her
death in his flat not a month ago.
Philip O'Hanlon, q coroner's ply
stefan, testified that Ruth Wheeler
had been attacked before she was
murdered and that there was still life
in her body when it had been soaked
with kerosene, jammed up the CHM
ney of Wolter's fiat and set afre. He
had found human hair not her own
adhering to the burned fingers.
Therefore he knew she had fought for
her honor. There was SCOT in the
lungs. A corpse does not breathe.
Therefore he knew a living and still
sentient body had inhaled smoke and
fame.
New York, Special.-Albert VOL
ter, a degenerate youth of 10 years,
who gloated over lewd pictures and
was ~"crazy' about women, must die

and fifty minutes Of deliberation a
jury in the court of special sessions
found him guilty of murder in the
first degree Friday night, bringing
to a close a trial marked by its swift
movement and its testimony OF hor-
ror.

nominelly the editor of the Buffalo
Express. In 1871 he joined the. lit
erary colony at Hartford, Conn,
where he lived for a great many years
and where he did the greater part of
the working that has made his am
immortal.
As an after dinner speaker he was
always in demand, and in his unique
costume of white fannels he made q
striking appearance. He was always
ready with a joke, and his -~7onderful
personality made him an attraction on
every occasion.
The quaint philosopher of the char
acters ne created in his works would
never cause any one to suspect the
trials and tribulations he had under
gone. He always faced the world
with a smile, and may safely be said
to have created more smiles than anv
other American.
On the occasion of his last visit to
the national capital, which was in
December, Mark Twain appeared in
the halls Of Congress on a cold win

he was wearing white on such a day,
the aged humorist replied:
"This is not a suit. 1t is a uni

reary and treasurer, and the only man
