The point arose in the United States

Assassin of StoIypin Not Hung;
Z Hiding In u. S. is the Report

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 49,
News comes from wilma, and 1t is
generally believed here, that DIM
itri Bogroff, the assassin of pre-
mier Stolypin, is not dead.
II this is true the report circu-
lated shortly after the assassina-
ton that Bogroff committed the
crime at the instigation of men
high in power who promised that
no harm would befall him, is
confirmed.
The story goes that an execu-
ton took place at the hour nam
ed, but instead of Bogroff the man
hanged was a revolutionist under
sentence of death some time. This
man who palmed off for Bogroff.
Meanwhile Bogroff, in disguise,
was spirited out of Russia. Those
who believe the story claim that
Bogroff is either on the way to the
United States OF already landed
safely and living in some Ameri-
can city under an assumed name.
To lend color to the story the
statement of Rev. Aleshknowsky,
chief rabbi of Kiev, is quoted. At

Unwritten Law Saved Katie Fetsch
Until She Broke Up Another Home
NEW ORLEANS GIRL NOW
FACES TRIAL FOR MURDER
OF HER CHILD FATHER.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 1S.-Be-
cause she has broken up another
woman's home, Katie Fetsch will
now be tried for the murder. of
Frank Mischief nearly a year ago.
Katie shot Mischler within As
hours after a jury had freed
Mamie Mclaughlin, who had kill
ed her betrayer and who pleaded
the unwritten law. Katie made
the same plea and said Mischler
was the father of her child, born
soon after. The child died.
In the face of public sentiment
aroused by the Mclaughlin case
1t seemed impossible to convic.
Katie Fetsch and the charge was
pigeon-holed. But Katie has since
given the lie to her plea of inno-
cence defiled, by taking julius
Sampson away from his wife, and
living with him. This developed
from the arrest of Sampson and
Katie for disorderly conduct, and
an action for alimony brought
against Sampson by his wife.
Katie has been rearrested and
the murder charge will be push
ed vigorously.
