suffer-
That was the first explanation Of
Guigon, chum of Mrs. Katherine
Vance Harrison, for telling the police
about the shooting of w. L. Warren
on December %.
The girl brides confession was not
a voluntary one. She kept her secret
locked in her own breast until she was
charged with having shot the man.
Then came the news that her closest
friend had given the clue which en-
abled the police to solve a two
months old mystery.
There are other reasons why I told
the secret" said Miss Guigon tonight.
She seemed in an unhappy frame of
mind. Her manner suggested that she
would like to tell the other reasons,
but felt herself in honor withheld.
These reasons will sooner or later
be brought out" she continued. mo

It's nobody's business she retort-
ed There are other good reasons,
but 1 won't tell them"
A fourth person who held the key
to the mystery was Mrs. Sterling
Richardson, wife of the pastor of the
Weatherford Street Methodist church.
The tragedy has had the conse-
quence of removing the obstacles to
the complete happiness of Katherine
and Charles Harrison, which had ex-
listed since their wedding. The brides

LINERS IN DANGER
Eight Steamships Carrying
Passengers Face U-Boats.
Six Italian Vessels Leaving n.
Y. Subject to Attack.

New York. March with the in
auguration of Germany's new subma-
rine policy eight big liners carrying
hundreds of passengers making Ameri-
can ports are today believed to be in
the region of the U-boat war zone.
Six vessels which sailed from New
York are subject to open attack by
submarines under the new order. They
are the six Italian passenger and
freight steamers which carry guns
mounted on their decks. These armed
liners are the Giuseppe Verdi. San
Guglielmo, America, Verona, Stams

The Giuseppe Verdi and San
Guglielmo are now in port here. The
others are in the Mediterranean or

line, America of the italian line, the
Fabre liner Patria, the Finland and
Pennsylvania of the American line, the
Ioannina and Casiless Constantimos of
the Greek line and the Cunarder POM

The British liner Baltic is sched-
uled to leave Liverpool tomorrow but
it is thought her sailing may be held
up a day or two owing to her delay
in leaving New York on her last trip.
The Anchor liner Cameronia is sched-
uled to sail from Glasgow on March 8.
Several Scandinavian ships will be
in the war zone within the next two
days. The liner Nieu Amsterdam is

of the ships which have had guns
placed on board by the Italian gov
ernment, is today believed to be in the
war zone with 1872 cabin and 1872
steerage passengers on board bound
for New York. The America. accord
ing to cable advices received by local
agents here today, sailed from Naples
