SEARCHING FOR BODY OF GIRL
GLUE IN WINTERS CASE FURNISH.
ED By SHOVEL.
Indiana Farmer Found Implement
Near Freshly Made Mound Year
Ago-Father and Stepmother
Suspected.

New Castle, Ind, June 2.-Search
for the body of Catherine Winters,
who disappeared more than year
ago, has started on a lonely farm four
miles west of this city.
A year ago the owner of the farm,
whose name will be made public later,
went one morning to the farthest cor
ner of his farm, a point where only
tall marsh grass grew. He found a
shovel lying beside a mound of new
ly turned damp earth. He took the
shovel to his home and forgot the in
cident.
The scene was recalled wildly to
his mind Sunday when he read the
story of the search of the home of Dr.
William A. Winters for trace of the
missing girl. He understood that many
people no longer believed that the girl
had been kidnapped, but feared that
she had been murdered
The arrest and subsequent release
of DR.. Winters, his wife, and William
r. Cooper, boarder, has strengthened
the suspicion.
The farmer reported finding the
shovel to Robert II. Abel, a private
detective, who has been conducting
search for the body of the girl, and
plans have been arranged by Mr.. Abel
and Mayor j. Leb Watkins to investi-
gate the swamp. The shovel bore the
mark of the Big Four railroad, where
Cooper formerly worked as telegraph
er.
DR.. Winters and his wife, who were
released after they had been charged
with conspiring to commit felony,
will be taken into custody again, &C.
cording to statement made by Will
lam r. Myers, the prosecuting attor-
ney for Henry county
Aftidavits which were filed Friday
with Mayor Watkins which caused
the arrest Of DR.. Winters and his
wife, have been presented to Circuit
Judge Jackson with the request that
bench warrants be issued charging the
couple with murder. Cooper is still
in JAIL. being unable to furnish bonds
of $4,000.

discoveries which he made in the
basement of the Winters home. aft
er l took charge of the work at the
request of Mayor Watkins and others,
I soon exhausted every possible clew
to the girls whereabouts if she were
alive. L thus turned attention to the
home of the parents and found inside
OF a cement block in a partition of the
cellar a red sweater, similar to the
one worn by Catherine the day she
disappeared. The sweater was torn,
and apparently burned, as il it had
been pulled from fire.
Next l found a red undershirt,
which had evidently been worn by a
one-armed man of build correspond
ing to that of Cooper. Cooper has but
one arm, the lost member having been
replaced by wooden ARM
A hair ribbon was also found in the
cement block and all three pieces of
apparel were stained with what ap-
Deared to be blood.

Empress Headed Away.

The Empress, however, according to
the Storstad's officers, headed away
and bent the Storstads bow over at
an acute angle to port. After that the
Empress was hidden from the view
of the Storstad, and, despite the fact
that the Storstad kept her whistle
blowing she could not locate the En-
press until the cries of some of the
victims in the water were heard.
Captain Anderson absolutely denied
that he moved mile or so away from,
the Empress after his vessel struck
the liner. The Storstad had not
moved. 1t was the Empress, which;
had changed position, he declared. !:
According to the report made by
Captain Anderson to the owners, i'm
mediately the collision occurred, he,
heard Captain Kendall shout, calling
him not to pull away.
Il won't" shouted the Storstad's.
captain, as loud as he could. After
that the Empress disappeared from
the Storstad's view.
The Storstad picked up about $50
persons after the collision. ::
G. p. r. Orders Her Seizure.
The seizure Of the Storstad was at
the instance of the Canadian Pacific
railway company, whose claim against
the owners Of the collier, the Mari
time Steamship company Of Norway,
is for 100000 loss. There may be
further claim by the Canadian PACT.
fic railway for loss of cargo. The
owners of the Storstad will, it is un.
derstood, put up bonds today, so that
the vessel may be released. No in
convenience will be caused by the ar
rest, as in the meantime the collier
will be unloading her cargo Of 1850

suffraoettes Disturb Services.

London, June "A militant suffra-
gette, evading the watchful officials in
st. Pault cathedral, mounted the steps
of the lectern at the services Sunday
and harrangued the astonished wor-
shippers on "The Wrongs of Women"
for upwards Of minute, despite the
efforts Of ushers to dislodge her. She
was finally carried bodily from the ca
thedral. Other suffragettes then be-
gan praying for "martyred women"
They also were elected. In the Bir-
mingham cathedral, women shouted:
In the name of Christ, stop forcible
feeding"

Montreal, June 1.-THE other side
OF the story of the collision in the St.
Lawrence river between the Canadian
Pacific liner Empress of Ireland and
the Norwegian collier Storstad which
resulted in the sinking of the liner
with the loss of more than $50 lives.
was told by the master of the Stor-
stad, who denies the charge that he
was responsible for the disaster.
Kendall Laid Blame.
Captain H. G. Kendall of the En-.
press of Ireland, in his testimony be-
fore the coroner at Rimouski, placed
the blame for the crash upon the COL
Her, declaring the Norwegian steamer
had been amply warned by signals of
the Empress presence, but had run
the liner down while the Empress was
virtually stationary.
He also charged that his plea that
the collier keep her bow in the cash
1t had made in the side of the liner
had been disregarded with apparent
elaboration, causing the Empress to
NIL rapidly and sink within few min
utes.
Anderson Issues Statement.
Captain Thomas Anderson of the
Storstad had remained silent on the
subject of the collision until reaching
Montreal, his destination.
After he had made report to rep
resentatives Of the Dominion Coal
company, charterers of the vessel, and
to the owners of the steamer, state
ment based on his declarations TOT
them was given out in which he en-
tiers a general denial of the charges;
and asks that the public withhold it's
opinion until all facts connected with
the accident are known.
With her bows crumpled in and
twisted around at an acute angle to
port, and gap showing on the port
side only a foot or SO above the water,
line, the Storstad showed evidence of,
the tragedy in which she figured asI
she limped into harbor here. A few
minutes later warrant of arrest, TAX
en- out by the Canadian Pacific rail-
way, was nailed to her mainmast by
order Of w. Simpson Walker, kings
counsellor, registrar Of the Quebec ad!
miralty. !.
According to the captain Of the EN-
press of Ireland, the Storstad did not
back away after the collision. On the
contrary, it now is stated, she steamed
ahead in an effort to keep her bow in
the hole she had dug into the side of
the Empress.
