SEEK WOMAN
FOR MURDER

ELIZABETH. April 16.-Detectives
are today trailing a oma who, they
claim, is implicated in the murder or
Peter Manich, of Linden, whose body
was found hacked in the woods at that
place. =
"A woman is surely at the bottom of
this" declared Detective Caiatian to-
day, land when I say that 1t is only
after very careful consideration. There
is no getting away from it.
"Manich was murdered with a knife
similar to that used by butchers. AT
the side of his dead body we found q
woman's hatpin, evidently fallen from
a hat that was bent over the body
while the pockets were being riffed.
"It cannot be told now that we have
discovered about the private life OF
the murdered man, but suffice it to
say that, combined with what we
know now, that hatpin is going to get
a certain woman into lots of trouble.
That is as much as l can say now,
except that she cannot get away. You
can expect an arrest any time now
It had been intimated by friends of
Manich that jealousy was the motive
for killing him, but the detectives do
not consider this theory. The motive,
they say, was robbery and nothing
else. The woman was used as a de-
coy, it Is said. 1t is not known how
much money the man carried, but
friends today asserted he always car
ried several hundred dollars with him.

MCCORMACK Gets
GREAT RECEPTION

John Mccormack, the Irish tenor. re-
ceived a hearty reception last night at
the Symphony Auditorium upon his Sec
ond visit to this city. He again demon
strated to a large and enthusiastic au-
dience that he is in the front ranks OF
lyric tenors by his singing Of the bal
lads of Ireland, which was done with
clearness and sincerity.
The exuberant spirit and rollicking
humor OF his previous performance was
absent, yet his charm was none the
less sure, and the lingering sweetness
Of his tones carried power sufficient to
arouse the greatest enthusiasm. His
enunciation is clear and unhurried, SO
that there is never any haziness al to
what he ~ singing. and his tone pro-
duction is managed with a fine discrim-
ination for value and effect.
There was a slight huskiness noted
in his upper register that betokens,
perhaps an overly busy season or the
suggestion of a cold. 1t took away
little Of the delight of his perform
ance, however, and he should be well
pleased with the ovation which followed
the group of Irish ballads. In these.
rather than in the operatic arias was
he at his best, for he was at home.
They are his especial province, and It
seems almost a pity that a portion of
the evening should have been given
to grand opera, when he might have
been treating his hearers to more Irish
ditties. The audience. moreover, flied
there were many standees.
Miss Maria Narel,e mezzo-sonrar mo
was The assisting artist. and though
ures up to the tandard or hrst-rank

of her manner and her method. Her

Wind Up and Finish Of eipsy Trial.

In the district court last Saturday
morning the jury brought In YER

was charged with kidnapping his
daughter. Lena Mitchell The case
was tried before Judge Essex. Assis-
tant District Attorneys Hughes. OF
Pueblo. and Wallis. OF La Junta. ap-
pearing fof the prosecution. and
Thomas Il. Hoffmire. OF Pueblo. and
NJ. F. Miller, of La Junta, for the
defense.
The case originated over feud
between two tribes Of gipsies. one
headed by Milan Youanovitch and the
other by John Mitchell. for the pos
session Of girl of about eighteen
summers. The girl is daughter of
iouanovitch and a daughter-in.law OF
Mitchell. the latter claiming to have
purchased her from the former for
consideration of 1880. While the
Mitchell tribe OF gipsies was at the
Rocky Ford fair last year telling for
tunes, the girl, Lena Mitchell. was
recognized by former member OF
the Iouanoyitch tribe who telegraph
ed his discovery to the Youanovitch
tribe in the state OF Washington. The
fouanoyitch tribe came posthaste to
Rocky Ford. and the fight for the
possession OF the girl originated at
Swink, near which place the Mitchell
tribe was In camp. 1t was claimed
that the girl was Kidnapped by her
own father.
Youanovitch was tried on charge
OF apping In the district court
last fall but the jury disagreed. The
trial at the prcseLt term lasted for
two days. and about ten witnesses 5

agreement OF YouAnovitch To pay All
costs of the two trials amounting to

amount for jury and witneks fees aud
court costs.
As soOn as the money was paid
YOuanovitch was released from Gus
tody and went on his way rejoicing.
The girl who caused all the trouble
was turned over TO the Mitchell tribe.
and thus the greatest farce ever
perpetratcd upon Otero county came
to an end. Both tribes Of gipsies
employed eminent legal talent. and
they are the only ones that are ahead

Tough doctors have long Realized
that, thanks to a better knowledge of
sanitation and personal hygiene. people
are living longer than formerly, the
much greater relative longevity Of
women as shown in the recently pub
lished national census Offices report on
the mortality of government life annui-
tants has come as a general surprise.
In a summary of these figures it
was shown that the expectation Of life
of a woman of 80 is now more than a
year greater that it was in 1875, while
that of a man of the same age is only
three months greater.
Discussing the reasons of our in
creasing longevity and in particular
woman's stronger hold on life, physic
ians at ST. Bartholomew Hospital ad-
yanced widely different theories. The
essential cause Of death, one stated,
is a wearing out from oyerwork OF
our brain cells. Women may be just
as brainy as men, but they do not
work their brain cells as vigorously
or as continuously as do their male
relatives. If they did there would not
be so great a disparity in the length IF
life of the two sexes"
Another consultant puts down wo-
mans greater expectation of life TO the
more sheltered existence she leads,
and the lack of physically depressing
competition which is part of nearly
every mans life. A woman may have
hard work to do, he explained. but
except for the few who work in Offices
