TOOK HIS OWN LIFE
Unrivaled In the Annals of Crime for
the Multitude of His Methods
Probably Mser Who Hid

Manchester, Eng.-Great murderers
are more interesting to most people
than they like to imagine. A really
good murderer, a first ranker is, in a
queer sort Of way, a national posses
sion. England has It's Palmer France
its GILES de Raiz, the United States
Its Fl. Fl. Holmes.
And we South Africans have Pierre
Basson, multiple murderer of the
most interesting and dangerous sort,
says the writer of South African let
ter to the Manchester Guardian.
Basson insured, among many others,
the life Of German farmer called
Schaeffer for $500. Afterward
Schaeffer disappeared. The papers
sailed as near the wind of libel as
they dared, but no one would say with
whom he was last seen. One hot Sat
urday afternoon in December the po-
lice went and dug in Basson's fowl
hockje.
Pierre watched them at their work
from his window. When they had
made some progress he ran into his
mothers bedroom, in his shirt sleeves.
Took His Own Life.
He pulled out all the drawers of the
wardrobe on to the floor, looking for
his brothers revolver. His mother
screamed to save him. His last words.
which he said with his face streaming
with sweat and tears, were ITS Tobys
fault"
Toby Louw was arrested after
long search, and put on his trial. He
was Basson,s dearest friend.
The principal witness against him
was Caroline. Caroline was Hotten.
tot washerwoman. She passed one
night, she said, down the road on her
way to the tiny village in the Flats.
She saw light in the henroost. Curl
ously, she stopped and put her ear
against the partition, which edged the
road.
A voice inside said, "Toby, gee mil
die kalk." (Give me the lime.)
"And the chickens prayed together
with terror" she deposed. 1t was this
statement which made the police go

and dig in the hook that hot afternoon.
Toby brought his girl, Miss Oliviera,
a Portuguese, to cry for him, and he
was acquitted.
Probably Miser.
Basson (whom even the judge called
"Peery" in his summing up in defer
ence to his family at the height of his
career was young man, not much
more than thirty, and reputed to be
the fastest walker in Capetown. He
was educated at one of the best
schools at the Cape, from which he
was finally expelled for tormenting
animals. He was an insurance agent
and rent collector. Many-some say
forty, twenty would be much nearer
the mark-of the people whom he in
sured died suddenly.
Like William Palmer, his own broth
er was among the number.
If he killed them all he was unri-
vailed In the annals of crime for the
multitude of his methods. In lonely
wslks, by pools in the windy sands OF
the Flats, in broad daylight, at night.
In the crops at Stellenbosch, in the
sick bed, by sudden falls from high
cliffs, In drowning in the sea-these
people ended their lives.
No one ever knew what he did with
the money. He was supposed to have
smoked opium with Cinnamon in Rose
street under Signal hall. The most
likely theory was that he was a miser,
end hid and cherished his gold alone.

From Father to Son.

A proceeding of much int,res TO vet
Grams young and old-to grty-bearded
heroes of the Civil war, and to the
still youthful heroes of the great war
lis recorded at KennebuHk, Me. At
meeting of the local Grand Army
post, called Webster post, the other
evening, it was voted to present Gil
the property of the post, including the
Grand Army quarters, and pictures,
relics and paraphernalia, to Charles A.
Weber post, No. "a, of the American
Legion.
BY the vote, the American Legion at
Kennebunk became the successor and
heir to the property, as well as to the
traditions, of the Grand Army of the
Republic. That this should be the gen
eral tendency is inevitable. At one
time it was proposed by some that the
veterans of the recent great war should
be admitted to the Grand Army of the
Republic, thus continuing the name and
organization of the Grand Army. There
were several reasons against this
course, one of which was enough-the
one, namely, that the Grand Army rep
resented but one side in q great nation
al struggle-the right side, beyond all

The Honesty of Hoover.

Mr. Hoover has no intention OF try
ing to win a presidential nomination
by keeping politicians guessing. His
statement 20 the press is commend
able for its frankness. He viii have
nothing to do with party that Is
dominated by groups Of Socialists, even
though those groups camoutiage their
policy as naturalization of industry
after the fashion of Bryan and his lieu
tenants or after the style of Mr.. Nc
Adoo's railroad program. As for the
league of nations, he earnestly sup
ports it-with the reservations neees-
sarv to make il plain that there can be
no infringement of the safeguards pro
vided by our constitution and our ma
tion-old traditions.
He is on sound ground in both of
those declarations, though it il doubt
less true that his statement substan-
tiallv lessons any probability that the
Democrats can bring themselves to the
point of offering him the nomination
a. the price Of possible victory. Nor
will il he charged that he is angling
for the Republican nomination, for he
refuses to declare his allegiance TO e.
Their party or TO 90 farther than 10 say
that he does not believe in more than
two parties Like a lot Of good Amer
leans this year he prefers TO lie low
tin the two great parties have held
their conventions.-Bost Herald.
