The writ was obtained by Thaw's
lawyers as a weapon against William
Travers Jerome, in case Jerome

across the New York border. Before
the federal court Tuesday they will
seek TO have the writ continued to
safeguard their client should Gov.

Secy. Bryan said late Monday he
was confident Of the safety of the
little band OF American refugees
which had been slowly and painfully
making it's way from TOrreon TO Sal

sular officers TO interest themselves in
behalf of this party. and messages al
so have gone TO the American consuls
at Chihuahua and Topic, inquiring as
TO the truth OF the report that Morris
p. Root. a nephew of Senator Root,
had been shot at the latter place. In
this case Mr.. Bryan is acting entirely
upon newspaper reports on the affair.
The EN- barcatiOn of American refu-

tinues and the American consular Of
ficer at Los MOchis reported that six
American adults. eight children and
one German were leaving the district

WOMAN LINGERSAT
SCENE OF MURDER
Body of Man Found Murdered
On HiiISide-POIiCe Seek
Strange Woman Who Haunt
ed Neighborhood..

NEW YORK. Sept16.-The police
of this city and Yonkers are seeking
TO solve another murder mystery
which just now seems as battling as
the great Hudson river murder mys-
terry seemed a week ago.
For three months a woman. aged
about 80. well dressed and pretty, has
been seen almost daily on the cliffs
overlooking the Hudson river just
above Yonkers. As she struggled up
the precipitous hillside Monday after
noon she came upon two boys driving
wagon. and asked TO be driven to
Hastings.
Her manner aroused the curiosity
of the boys, who later returned to the
spot where the woman had been seen,
clambered down the rocky hillside
and suddenly came upon the skeleton
of a man. The flesh had wasted from
his bones, but parts Of his clothing re-
mained. Ne?r by was found a wOm-
ans glove and a little distance away
the silk sleeve of a woman's dress.
filled with stones. This had evidently
been the weapon with which the man
had been murdered.
Efforts 70 trace the woman failed
and il is believed she is hiding IN this
city. One theory Of the police is that
the woman was lured by some physio-
logical force TO the scene Of the
crime against her will.
According to the boys description
she wore widows weeds and her face
showed the strain Of strong emotion.
At times she was incoherent-
Persons living in the vicinity Of the
spot where the body was found, said
they had seen the woman around the
vicinity almost daily all summer.
Nothing could be found by which
the slain man could be identified.

Manufacturers 10 the charges OF a

made by its former lobbyist. Martin
NJ. Mulhall. was concluded Monday
night by James A. Emery, chief agent

the house lobby committee. He made
a detailed denial of Mulhall's charges
that the association packed cons res

shod over those members who opposed
its legislative Will. that il campaigned
with frequency and at great expense
to elect its favored congressional
friends and that it spent several hun

declared that the association never

ideas of labOr-saving legislation which

Attack Bitter.

Referring to Mulhall himself, En-
cry surpassed in condemnation any of
the public men who have taken the
stand during the investigation to at
tack the lobbyists remarkable story.
The evidence before this committee
conclusively demonstrates that the
character of Mulhall destroys every
right TO believe him, nor is his writ
ten word worth more than his oral
statement" said he. by his own tes-
timOny against that of his letters, by
the falsity Of their contents, proved by
Independent witnesses, by the decep-
ton, treachery and falsehood that un-
derlies every relation Of his life, he is
utterly unworthy of belief.
Dismissed from his employment
two years ago, he undertook to betray
his employers while still in their pay
to representatives of organized labor
and while pleading for reinstatement
he was manufacturing evidence to
villify former benefactOrs. BY the
evidence which he has himself pro-
duced. he portrays himself and assail-
ing with incredible partiality those for
whom he processes gratitude, equally
with those who are the evident objects
of malicious and long plotted t'e-
Venge."
