A new feature of the disappearance of
Lee Middleton, of 1888 Corcoran street
northwest, who has been missing since
Monday night, was brought to light last
night when it was discovered that his
only portrait, a photograph OF himself
and his sweetheart, was missing from his
room.
Frank N. Blair, the young mans room
mate, admitted that Middleton had
formed a deep attachment for young
woman employed in a Fourteenth street
restaurant, and that he had suspected his
numerous fits of dependency during the
past few months had been due to fear
that his love for her was not returned
Middleton's peculiar behavior at times,
together with the fact that on Monday
night, when he was last seen, he turned
over all his money to his roommate, has
led Blair to believe him suicide.
Gave Companion S14.
80 far as 1 know" said Blair last
night, he gave me every dollar he had
with him-s14 in all. If he had any
money with him I should not have
thought his absence strange, although in
the year that we have roomed together
he has not been away from home
single night l am convinced that he has
killed himself, or that he is a victim Of
foul play"
Middleton, SO far as his friends could
Judge, seemed to be in good spirits when
he went with Blair last Monday 70
dance at the National Rifles Armory. At
the dance, however, he got into an alter
cation with a number of young men, and
left the FALL. Blair went with him to the
street, and Middleton pulled his money
from his pocket and placed it in Blair's
hand.
Here. keep this for me-" he said
Blair hurried back to the hall for his
hat intending to accompany Middleton
home, but saw no sign of his friend
when he returned to the street. So far
as ne could discover. the men with
whom Middleton had had the argument
did not follow him. and while he thought
little OF the fact that his roommate
gave him his money at that time he now
the action as significant. He
stated that he believed It possible that

Viterbo, Italy, April 22.-The Court of
the Assizes was packed to Overlooking
again to-day at the trial of the Canon
rists. Those who attended with the ex-
pectation of hearing a continuation of
the Interrogation of the ferocious Gastano
opposite, who yesterday plucked out his
glass eye and threw it at President
Bianchi, were disappointed in that re-
spect, but they were given an entertain
ment fully as interesting and less ter
rifying.
The star actors to-day were the BUTCH
er, Vincenzo Avolio, who astounded the
lawyers by disputing the law with Presi-
dent Bianchi in a brilliant exposition of
the statutes bearing on his case: the
charming Maria Stendardo. the beauty

Lis initials, IL. NJ"
Employed rs Clerk.
Middleton came to Washington about
eight years ago, and was employed as a
clerk in a Ninth street grocery store.
He had lived at the Corcoran street
| address for about a year, during which
time Blair had lived with him. His par
ents are dead, and so far as the dodgers
at the house know he has no relatives
other than one brother and a grand
mother, who lives in Charles County,
Md. He made frequent trips to his
grandmother's home. but had not been
there for some time prior to his disap-
pearance.
The missing young man had been on
friendly footing with the young woman
with whom he was photographed, and
was with her much of the time. He
Kept the photograph in his room when
he was in Washington, and always took
1t with him when he left the city, even
on short journeys. Blair, as well as the
other dodgers at the house, supposed the
photograph to be in its accustomed place
until last night, when it was discovered
that 1t was missing.
The absence OF the picture gives ground
TO the theory that Middleton may have
PLANNED his disappearance some time in
advance, and that he intended either to
make way with himself or to leave the
city for some time.
His friends, in view of the fact that
he gave Blair his money Monday night,
do not believe that he has left WASH
irgton. The possibility that he went
with the Wild West show is not regarded
by them with much favor. and they fear
he has killed himself or met with foul
play.

MURPHY PICKS
new CANDIDATE
Justice O'Gorman Tammany
Selection for Senator.
INSURGENTS MAY REVOLT

Desire to Look Up Record Of Latest
Aspirant to Senatorial Honors Be.
fore Definitely Deciding Their Posi-.
tion-Murphy Arrives at Albany to
Take Command of the Situation.
Albany, N. Y, April 1.--Supreme
Court Justice James A. O'Gorman of
New York probably will be the next
senator from New York, if the insur-
gent Democrats in the legislature will
accept him.
Justice O'Gorman was announced as
the organization candidate on the I'M
expected arrival from New York of
Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tam
many Hall.
The insurgents resented the sud-
den injection of candidate whose
name had not appeared on any Of the
"eligible" lists they had submitted
to the regulars: but not so strongly
as to cause withdrawal of O'Gor-
mans candidacy.
On the ground that they were not
sufficiently familiar with O'Gorman's
record to act intelligently the insur-
gents brought about a postponement
of final caucus vote The organiza-
ton leaders declare that Justice
O'Gorman will be elected.
Foremost among the reasons why
the Democrats were anxious to break
the deadlock is the proximity of April
and the assembling of the special
session of congress. The legislators
fear popular criticism will follow a
failure to send a new senator to the
national capital in time to give New
York it's full representation.
A second reason, which appealed
particularly to the regulars, was the
overtures the Republicans are making
to the Democratic insurgents and the
threat of the latter that if the question
is not settled at once they will accept
Republican aid to elect an "inde.
pendent Democrat" hostile to Tam.
many Hall.
