riet Manning, wife of Charles /. Man
ming, a garage owner. She said, oil her
death bed at hospital in Montclair,

taken the poison, is the father, the po
lice say, of her year.old baby. He is
in custody of the police. He had been
separated from his wife for two years.
His intimacy with Miss Herdman
caused the estrangement.
Il killed her because l loved her hus-
band" the dying girl said to the doc
tors and nurses. 81 asked her many
times to get a divorce from him so
could marry him. She refused to dc
it, She stood between him and me

Before she took the poison, she
wrote a note to Manning which he
turned over to the police.

Trinidad Judge Bases Opinion on
Meyer Habeas Corpus Precedent.
Trinidad.--The right of the military
authorities to detain prisoners indefi-

pus cases brought by unicn attorneys.

PERU PREMIER SLAIN
PRESIDENT BlLllNGHURST TAX
EN- PRISONER AT LIMA.
Former Fugitive Leads Rebels in
Storming of the Palace-Ecua-
dor Rebels Gain.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Lima, Peru.-The President of the
Republic of Peru, Guillermo Billing
hurst, was taken prisoner by military
revolutionistc.
The rebels suddenly attacked the
presidential palace under the leader
ship of Colonel Benavides. General
Enrique Varela, premier and minister
of war, was killed in the fight which
ensued.
DIR. Augusta Durand, former revo-
Iutionary leader, whose arrest was
sought by the police, took possession
of the palace. 1t is generally believed
that he will at once organize new
government.
The attack on the palace began at
half past four in the morning. Thous-
ands of the inhabitants of Lima ran
into the streets, alarmed by the firing.
Squads of soldiers were ordered to fire
volleys into the air in order to prevent
the formation of crowds in the streets
and by this method they kept the pan
ic-stricken people moving from place
to place. In the vicinity of San Pedro
church a civilian bystander was killed
by a bullet. Great alarm prevailed
throughout the city. Banks and stores
were closed and private houses barri-
caded. The street cars, however, be-
gan running before noon.
President Billinghurst was later
taken by the rebels as a prisoner to
Callao, from which port he will be sent
into exile in foreign country.
Peru's sudden revolutionary trouble
is due principally to Billinghursts
earnest efforts to place the finances of
his country on sound basis. His
scheme for doing this involved the
strictest economics throughout the
public service, and, naturally, proved
unpopular, particularly among office
holders, who saw their salaries and
estimates pruned with merciless
hand.

capital of the German and American
bluejacRets and marines was pre-
sented to the members of the foreign
Diplomatic corps by the citizens COM
mittee of public safety. The commit
tee, which was formed after the flight
of the President of the republic, points
out that perfect tranquility has pre-
vailed for some time at the capital,
and hat, therefore, there is no neces-
sity for the further presence of for
eign troops.
The port authorities forbade the
landing of part OF sixteen prominent
exiles who arrived here on board the
German steamer Sardinia. Among
them were General Horelle Monplai-
zier. former minister of war, and H.

still on board.
Reports from the south indicate Sc
rious disturbances there. Firing squads
of government troops have executed a
number of leading revolutionists at the
ports of Aux Cayas and Aguin. Among
those killed was NJ. Lavieux, a former
deputy and a prominent politician.
