"DBAD MAN IN THIS HoUsR.'
Sign Tells Of Horrible Murder Of An.
derson Merchant.

Anderson, Dec. 30.--"TheIe is a
dead man In this house" were the
words written on a small piece Of
paper tackled to the door of small
store near the city limits that at
tracted the attention OF persons look
ing for D. Hutto, the proprietor. In
vestlgation to-day resulted in tha
finding of Hutto's body with his
head beaten in. He was last seen
Monday, and 1t is probable he was
killed that night. Robbery is
thought to have been the motive Of
the killing, as the place had been
ransacked. Who wrote the note is
not known.
Nothing tangible developed at the
inquest this afternoon Investigating
the horrible murder Of David Hutto
after several witnesses testified. The
inquest was adjourned until Mon
day.
Two negro boys testified that they
saw two young white men write ana
tack up sign which was found by
the officers on the front door of the
store. The officers believe that the
tacking Of the sign was meant as q
joke; that the young men tried seve-
raj times to set into the store, and
tiring in their efforts, wrote the sign
and tackled it up.
The officers believe that the deed
was committed by a negro and the
motive was robbery.
It IS evident that death resulted
from the first blow, as the entire left
side of Mr.. Hutto's head was crushed.
A good deal Of interest Is being
generally manifested in the brutal
murder and the investigation nov
being carried on by the coroner and
the sheriff.

wA1HAL1A SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY JANUARY s. 1o1a
NIION HELD FOR DYNANnTING.
Three Union Leaders Indicted by Los
Angeles Grand Jury.

Los Angeles, CAL, Dec. 30.-Olaf
A. Tveitmoe, secretary-treasurer of
the State Building Trades Council;
]. e. Munsey, leader of the Salt Lake
Union Of Structural Iron Workers,
and Anton Johannsen, organizer Of
the State Building Trades Council,
were indicted to-day by the Federal
grand jury in connection with the al
legged nationwide dynamiting con-
spiracy. Their arrest followed.
The three labor leaders have been
here for some time as witnesses In
the government dynamite inquiry
and were arrested in the witness
room in the Federal building q few
minutes after the indictments we're
read.
They Were Not Surprised.
None Of them expressed any sur
prise, and when told by Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal Albert Sittell that
they were under arrest for alleged
completely with the Mcnamara bro
theirs and were wanted at once In
the Federal Court, they proceeded
without word.
The charge against the three la
Dor leaders is the general accusation
Of conspiracy to transport dynamite
In violation Of Interstate commerce
law. The true bills under which the
men were taken prisoners were but
a part Of the packet containing an
unknown number OF indictments.
Deputy marshals were sent out I'm
mediately and 1t was said other ar
rests were imminent, both here and
in San Francisco.
The action Of the grand jury af-
fected Tveitmoe. He was pale when
taken into the United States mar
shaps office.
"Who will you have for your at
torney?" Johannsen was asked.
BLAMED If 1 know; we've had
too many attorneys already" he re-
piled.
Bail, it was said, had been fixed at
$4,000 for each man, and Attorney
Hartman, after a conference with
the threo prisoners, left the Federal
building to obtain the security.
United States District Attorney A.
|. Mccormick announced that in ad-
dition to Tveitmoe, Johannsen and
Munsey, indictments returned by the
grand jury named e. A. Clancy, the
Mcnamara brothers, Ortie McMani-
gal and Schmidt and Caplan.
And the grand jury has not fin
ished its investigation by any
MEANS" he said.

WOMAN KILLS HER sON-IN.LAW.
Body Thrown In Pond-Woman's
Cold Blooded Talk Of killing.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 1.-Arrested
bloody remains Of her son-in-law,
Frederick Wasserlaben, had been
found in pond near the western
city limits, Mrs. Mary L. Godau last
night made full confession Of the
deed. Wasserlaben had been shot
three times, twice through the head
and once through the arm. The kill
Ing occurred at the home of Wasser-
laben, after. according to the confess
sion, insulting remarks were made to
Mrs Godau.
AS result OF the alleged insult,
Mrs. Godau says she saw Wasserla-
ben's gun In hall rack, picked 1t up
and returned to tho room. "I raised
the pistol, and, looking him straight
in the face, pulled the trigger. 7
thought l would do good job while
I was at 1T, so l pulled the trigger
again"
subsequently, Mrs. Godau took the
body in wagon and dumped 1t into
the pond, where 1t was discovered.
Last Husband Murdered.
Mrs. Godau has been married three
times. Joseph Godau, her last hus-
band, was murdered in a manner sim
liar to the deed Of to-day, but the
grand jury failed to indict her. An
other husband, named Steiner, mys-
teriously disappeared.
AS a result of the finding OF he
badly mutilated body Of Wasserlapen
floating in a pool near the western
limits Of this city this morning, the
dead mans wife and Mrs. Mary T..
Godau, his mother-in-law, were
placed under arrest, charged with
the crime.
Two bullet wounds were found in
the head and one in the arm of the
dead man, and his head had been
horribly battered, apparently with
some blunt instrument.
Several hours after the finding Of
the body a number Of garments sat-
urated with blood were unearthed
under the Wasserlaben home, about
a mile from the pool where the body
was found.
1t was the theory that Wasserla-
ben was killed In his homo and the
body carried to the place where 1t
was found. In an effort to avoid de-
lection, 1t was believed the bloody
clothing was brought back to tho
dead mans home and concealed.
Mrs. Wasserlaben, in a statement
made before her mothers confession,
declared that she knew nothing Of
the affair until advised Of the finding
OF the body. She asserted that she
last saw her husband at noon yester-
day. Mrs. Godau at first refused to
make any statement, but confessed
later.
