A note found crumpled In Wesley'f
hand reading, .'Tell Mary to forgive
me, but 1t Is better So" is considered

been inflicted by himself. The police

kIDNAPERS
KILL A BOY
Lured With Candy, Poisoned
With Acid.

Albany, N. Y. Jan. PA half empty
bottle of carbolic acid and a bag of
chocolate drops are the principal clews
on which the police are working to
discover the murderer OF a fye-year-
old boy, whose frozen body was found
In a swamp near the city line. Acid
burns about the child's mouth showed
how he died.
The partly emptied bottle was found
under the body, and the candy lay
nearby. From these the police believe
that the boy was lured from HON by
q bride Of chocolates and that the sup
posed kidnaper killed him by forcing
poison down his throat when he feared
discovery. The child's clothing and
everything about him indicated wealth,
but thus far the authorities have no
clew to his identity. The police be-
ieve the body has been In the field at
least four days.
Brought From Another City.
The lads body, covered with a thin
Layer Of snow, was found by Harry
Epankland while he was hunting. The
youngster had chubby cheeks and light
curly hair. His coat, shoes and cap
were missing, but he was dressed In a
white "Fauntleroy" suit and black rib
bed stockings and wore a long blue tie.
1t ia the theory Of the police that the
boy had been taken from some other
city and brought here by k~idnapers.
The label on the bottle was that OF an
Albany druggist, but the clerks In the
store did not remember the purchaser.
No Identification Marks.
The body is without a scar, blemisn
or birthmark, and there were no marks
on the clothes by which identification
might be made. When the bottle wal
| found under the body 1t was corked'
| This circumstance and the position OF
the body preclude the idea that the
| child drank the poison Of bis W &c,
| cord.
The swamp where the body was
found is about a thousand feet from
the roadway.
The Albany police have no report o.
any boys missing In this city. There
was no mud found on the lads stock
ings, which indicates that he had mo-
walked to the place.

When Every Man Was an Enemy.

During the medieval period doors
were small and narrow, SO that only
one person could pass through at g
time, owing TO the universal need for
protection against attack. For this
same reason doorways were some
times set in recess, comm aaded Dy
openings through which arrows could
be shot. The doors themselves were
constructed in one piece and not a.
yided from the center, and were fast
ened by strong oak bars. which ccuio
be drawn across from one side TO the

HAPPY At LAST
Widow WedS WidOWer
After Many Years
HARRY SIMONSON MAR
RIED MONDAY.

For the past few weeks everybody
has been telling one another of a
wedding that would occur shortly that
would make the younger set sit up
and take notice. The contracting
parties are both well known. The
bride is a resident here and for the
past few months has been a domestic
in the home of the towns chief bur-
CESS, Hon. John Kuhbach, while the
bridegroom is an honest, earnest
workman in Hawley, his vocation be-
ing that of stone cutter.
Strange though it may seem both
have been married, and Dan Cupid
who was responsible for their first
acquaintance, managed to be on deck
again after the separation of many
years. The brides maiden name
was Mary Priscilla Broad. The
bridegroom, whose name is Harry
SimOnson, resides in Hawley, and
when young he was attracted by
Priscillas personality. They were
lovers for some time, until alas one
day they were separated. Mr.. Simon
son married and raised a family of
children. A few years ago the wife
and mother was called by death.
Since the husband and father lived
alone. His former life and memories
of the past consoled him until he Of
ten thought he would like to meet his
former sweetheart and lover. He fl
nally met his bride here shortly after
the death of his brother, few weeks
ago.
Whilee here Mr.. Simonson asked
his sister if she knew anything about
Priscilla, where she was staying, and
the like. why, yes," the sister an
swered, "she is working across the
street. I'll call her" The ice was
then broken and an interesting social
time was enjoyed by the party. One
call followed another and the bride
to-be became so elated that she could
contain herself no longer and finally
told her friends of her approaching
marriage to Mr.. Simonson, whom she
had known so many years ago. The
date was set for April 8, but on ac-
count of Mr., Simonson's illness it
was postponed until after Easter.
The nuptial knot was finally tied by
Rev. A. l.. Whitaker on Monday.
The bride was aged 61, and the
bridegroom four years her junior.
