Measure Goes TO Houses To-

From The Vr;bnue's W1sHipQs1n E1Tfui
WASHINGTON, Aug. l7.-House and
Senate conferees after an all-day ses-
sion. agreed on the anti -beer bill to-
night. The measure will be reported
back to both houses tomorrow and
efforts made to obtain early final ac-
ton.
The conferees had difficulty with the
Stanley amendment. as modified in the
House, relating to search warrants
The House passed this in a form which
makes it misdemeanor for an officer
or any one else to search a home with
out warrant. The Stanley amendment,
as passed by the Senate, made it a mis-
demeanor to conduct any search with
out Il warrant
The conferees agreed to a compro-
mise, which preserves the sanctitv of
the home from search and seizure with
out warrant. Who're enforcement
ofccrs have reasonable grounds for
believing that "home brew is being
manufactured for sale on any premises,
however, they may search anv one 5
home providing they have the proper
warrant.
The compromise agreement also pro-
Vldcs that hotels, Office buildings. auto
mobiles and other convcyanccs may be
Searchcd without warrants in the event
enTorcemcnt officers believe the prohi-
bltlon laws are being violated therein.
The stipulation is made, however, that
II persons room in a hotel is
searched without a warrant and illicit
liquor is not found, the enforcem tent
oticlals are liable to suit for damages.
The compromise provision is inter
prcted as meaning that residents Of
apartments may Rave their home brew
in the actual living quarters, but that
lockers in apartment building cellars
arc not considered parts of ones

ence the prosecution wished to draw
from De Stamir's fondness for car
rying a poker on his midnight
inarauding expeditions, but before
the case came for trial by a judge
and jury evidence had accumulated
which pointed to a complete vindica-
ton OF the policy OF the police.
Guilty.
The evidence against De Stamir
was, of course, purely circumstantial,
but, nevertheless, it was exceedingly
strong. The movements of the ac-
cused on the night OF November SO
were proved, and he was brought
into direct contact with Wirkfeld
lodge. He was identified by re-
spectacle witnesses as having been
in the vicinity of Captain Tighe's
residence, and, as the prisoner could
rot explain satisfactorily what he
had done with his time on the night
i'll question, his conviction was a
toregone conclusion, especially as he
was known to be the only burglar
who carried poNcr--and Captain
Tighe had been murdered with 4
poker!
When the jury had returned ver-
dict Of guilty it was possible to re-
veal his past, and lurid past it was.
The young scoundrel, who heard
sentence of death with a pale face
and nervous manner, had led life
OF crime, although Of decent parent
age. As a small boy he had been
sent to reformatory, but the strict
discipline there had simply hardened
him, and he returned to freedom a
thorough Crook" Three times nc
was given fresh start, only to abuse
the generosity OF his father, and he
had not hesitated to rob his parents
when III need OF funds.
The Staying OF Captain Tighe had
been the elimination of career Of
desperation. and when De Stamir
found himself in the condemned eel!
he must have felt that he had only
himself to blame. Everything wa.
done to Tighten the burden Of his las,
days on earth. and, thanks TO the
ninistrations OF the chaplain OF
Wandsworth prison, where the exc
cution took place, the convict be-
came penitent and admitted the JUS
tice OF his sentence. 1t was SAID that
he confessed to having committed
five burglaries after the murder OF
Captain Tighe, a fact which illus
trates the character OF the cowardly
scoundrel.
On the morning OF his death a
crowd assembled outside the Jail.
but there was no demonstration
when an official came out and affixed
10 the wall the usual notice Intirnat-
ing to the world that justice had
been done on the person OF Arthur
de Stamir, murderer.
No one mourncd for him, for the
girl 10 whom he had been engaged
at the time OF hi. arrest could not
but feel glad OF her escape when she
was made acquainted with the char
acter Of the man who had wooed and
Won he by means of soft phrasss
and many lies.

! revealed his numerous love affairs,
laughing heartily when describing
one girl who was actually buying
her trousseau to marry him.
What did you do on November
29?' asked the inspector carelessly,
and the answer came pat that he
had been to several places and that
in the evening he had had drink
at a certain saloon in Wimbledon.
All told the conversation yielded
sufficient information to enable the
police to trace the career OF the
young man OF 2S and after that they
had not any difficulty in arriving at
the conclusion that he was quite
equal to taking human life, for a
more desperate and heartless rui-
fan could not be imagined. He had
behaved vilely to many; he had in
suited and defraudcd his own par
ents, and his life story was simply
a record Of crime.
Accumulating Evidence.
But the principal task of the de-
tectives was to establish his guilt Of
the murder OF Captain Tighe, and
the shrewdest officers were commits
stoned to narrow down his move
ments until they could prove that on
the night OF November 30--thc date
Of the tragedy-Arthur de Stamir
had been in Wimbledon Common.
Scores OF persons were interviewed,
amongst them two girls who had
been engaged to the young scoun-
drel, and they managed between
them 10 supply the necessary inior-
nation. The ruifian may not have
Left any clue. behind him at Wink
field lodge, but he had certainly net
troubled to conceal his presence near
the residence Of the Tighes on the
fatcful last day OF November, and
before the prisoner was due to ap-
pear before the magistrate the au-
.thorities were in position to alter
the charges against him to wilful
murder.
The revelation must have had a
devastating effect upon the nerves
OF a man who, despite drawbacks,
Hdu eHJOScu HIt. nc was very
young, and crime had not impaired
his health, and the result of his num-
erous burglaries had enabled him TO
obtain a certain amount of luxury
But now he was doomed, and he was
terrified of death.
He had often boasted of his mis-
deeds to his respectable and hard
working father, and he had tortured
his mother by declaiming about his
past. but there was nothing OF the
bravado in Arthur de Stamir when
he heard that he was TO be tried fo-
the wilful murder Of Captain Tighe
The chance clue OF the poker had
run him to earth when he had been
confident that that crime had become
another OF his successes.
The arrest created a sensation. but
the public were not at all sure that
the accused would he convicted. Al
the first hearing before the Judge the
attitude OF the police did not ind
cate confidence. and at subsequent
appearances it seemed that there was
very little 10 strengthen the infer

been the weapon Of the mystery
man.
Some days later a policeman on
duty in quiet lane not very far
from Wimbledon common was dis
turbed by a noise in house on his
beat. He prepared for action, an
ticipating a fierce struggle, tor he
had not forgotten the murder Of Cap
tain Tighe, and he knew of scores
of burglaries which Wimbledon had
been plagued by. When, therefore,
he came up to young and we'll
built man OF powerful physique who
tamely surrendered he was surprised,
i. thankful for his good fortune.
you've fairly copped me- said
the burglar. whose manner suggested
that he was not at all downhearted,
but then a man with a murder on
his conscience may be pardoned for
regarding a conviction ior burglary
as a minor matter, and. indeed, a
cause for seIf-congratulation in view
OF what the consequences would be
if charged with the most serious Of
crimes.
De Stamir Examined.
The captured burglar Was, OF
course, Arthur de Stamir, vino had
net ceased to pursue his "profes-
sion" although he might have saved
his life by transferring himself to
another part OF the country. But
he had remained in London, not be-
cause he was indifferent TO the
risks he was running, but because
London contained a certain girl TO
whom lie was engaged to be mar
ried
Instructions lad been issued to
all officers in charge OF stations to
report al once to headquarters full
particulars Of all burglars arrested,
and Arthur de Stamir's name was
RENTED to the chief of the {. I. D.,
and Immediately monopolised atten-
ton, because appended to it was
the statement that a poker had been
found in his possession and that he
had been using it on the back door
OF house when captured by the
police officer.
The prisoner was quite unconscious
Of the importance the authorities i'll
sisted on attaching to the poker. He
never imagined that they would con-
meet it with the death of Captain
Tighe at Winkheld Lodge, and he
was quite content because he con-
templated receiving at the most II
months for his offence against the
law.
There was also tn. consoling pos
sibility that lie would not have TO
serve half as many months, because
recruits were wanted, and even it
he was a deserter, there was a chance
that he would be sent back to his
battalion. 1t was. therefore. very
docile and happy occupant Of po-
lice cell who smiled when a detective
entered to have a chat with him.
The inspector wanted to know
what De Stamir had been doing
during the last eight weeks. and the
prisoner willingly accounted for his
time. He admitted that he was in
the habit OF visiting saioQs, and he
Omaha daily bee., 1921-10-02

stronger and more athletic. and he
quickly stepped aside, and, raising
his right hand, brought the weapon
he held in it down on the head OF
the unfortunate man.
Deadly Blow.
The blow was a deadly Cne, and
sent the officer TO the floor, but he
was only temporarily stunned, and
almost Immediately he scrambled to
his feet and attempted to seize his
assailant. For the next two or three
minutes fearful combat was waged,
the horror OF it increased by the
fact that the antagonists were too
engrossed to speak. Backwards and
forwards they swaycd, and had it
rot been ior that first blow Captain
Tighe would have won, but he had
been considerably weakened by it,
and after while he was unable to
prevent the burglar hitting him
again. AT last he sank to his knees,
with the murderous scouudrel rain-
ing blows upon his head, and finally
he collapsed. utterly, a dying man.
For a brief spell the murderer
stood and listened. Once he thought
he heard sound in the next room,
and he thrilled with apprehension,
but it was only Mrs. Tighe turning
over in her sleep Then he carefully
wiped the weapon which had gained
the victory for him, switched off the
light, and noiselessly proceeded to
leave the house.
The dawn slowly pierced the
gloom OF the room where Captain
Tighe was lying dead, and shortly
before breakfast Mrs. Tiehe, little
realizing that she was a widow, turn-
ed the handle OF the door and walk
ed in, but she did not advance further
than a few PAGES, for the most prom
inent object was the corpse OF her
husband. At sight of it a piercing
scream came from her, scream that
echoed through the house and
brought the servants to the spot.
Instantly the police were sent ior,
as we'll as doctors, but there was
really nothing for the latter to do.
Poor Mrs. llshc was hclped back
to her room. and before midday
friends were surrounding her, and
everything was done to try to
soothe her.
Meanwhile the detectives and the
doctors were endeavoring 10 recon-
struct the crime. What puzzled
them most was the fact that des-
perate struggle for lite should have
taken place between two meU in a
house, containing four other adult
persons, and that none OF them
should have heard a sound! This
was astonishing, and it was the cause
OF the many sensational rumors
which the mystery created. But
Mrs. Tighe and the servants were
positive that they had not been dis
turbed, and the authorities had to
look elsewhere for assistance in
tracing the criminal.
No Clues.
There were 10 clues in the room
where the murder had beec COM
'nitted. 1t seemed to the detectives
that the unfortunate officer had
Omaha daily bee., 1921-10-02

tackled the intruder before the latter
had time to steal anything, and that
after the tragedy the miscreant had
been only too anxious to get away
and had not bothered to appropriate
his victims property. 1t was, OF
course, assumed that a burglar had
done the dead, but when the full
story Of the affray was published
and it was realized tha. the police
were completely at sea. the public
began to imagine that there was a
great deal more in the case than met
the eye.
In the absence of clues the theo-
rists had plenty of opportunities for
making suggestions, and the basis
Of the rumors they started was the
amazing fact that Captain Tighe, al
though his life was in peril, had not
called for assistance. 1t never oc-
CURED to them that he might first
have attempted to capture the bur-
glar, and that before he thought Of
shouting for help, his opponent
might have stunned him partially,
and that afterwards the brave officer
might have been too busy defending
himself to think of raising his voice,
supposing that he was able TO-
But Captain Tighe's failure to
rouse the household gave rumorist5
the idea that the man who had slain
him had called by appointment, and
that he was an old enemy of the
captains, and, perhaps, had had him
in his power. 1t was fantastic no.
ton. but it found credence, and es-
recially so in society circles, where
the captain had been we'll known. 1t
was urged that Tighe had not called
for help because he did not wish his
family and servants to become aware
OF the identity or existence of the
mystery man, and that quarrel had
arisen between them which had end
ed in the death of the tenant OF
Winkfeld lodge.
Since the murder OF Lord William
Russell in 1910, it is doubtful if the
criminal fraternity secured victim

of Captain Tighe. The latter was
related to several well-knoWn farni-
lies in the peerage, and his position
was such that a special memorial
service for him was held in famous
church in the West End of London.
| remember the crowded congrega-
tion and the figures OF dozen peers
and peeresses-all intimate friends or
relations Of the murdered ma.t-who
occupied prominent positions. and the
stream of motor cars outside testified
to the wealth and rank Of. the con-
gregation that had assembled out OF
respect TO him.
Search for the Burglar.
But from the moment of the dis
covery OF the body, Scotland Yard
had not ceased to search for the MUIR
derer. Wimbledon was practically
dragged by trained officers on the
lookout for professional criminals. 1t
was ielt by the head OF the c. /. D.
that the murderer was no amateur in
crime. Only the regulars" fake hu-
fran life. and. accordingly. the lis;
OF d3perate burglars was scanned,

REI1F

The man in the bed stirred un-
easily, opened his eyes. and, as if
half conscious that he was not alone,
tried to pierce the darkness OF the
room; the man standing against the
wall near the door became rigid and
motionless. and after a few fateful
seconds not sound was heard.
Suddenly the former sprang out Of
bed, and, switching on the electric
light, found himself face 20 face with
the burglar. Not word was spok-
en- as they stared at each other.
Neither was afraid or nervous. The
owner of the house may have been
elderly, but he had been too accus-
toned to commanding to regard
otherwise than contemptuously the
young criminal he now confronted,
for Captain Tighe did not know
what fear was, and he merely paus-
ed before acting to take in the sit
uation.
What do you want?' he asked
curtly.
Arthur de Stamir, burglar, cx-con-
Wet, deserter, did not answer. He
was too busy thinking out his plans,
for this was the first time in the
course of at least 50 burglaries that
one OF his victims had tackled him,
and he had been trifle disconnected,
but once he had observed the grey
hairs OF the occupant OF WINFIELD
L.odpe. Wimbledon Common, he re-
gained his usual confidence and
swagger.
The house stood in its own
grounds, and was, to Il certain en-
tent, lonely and isolated. but there
were three servants in it. as we'll
as Mrs. Tighe and her children, and
the burglar realized that his best
policy would be to depart as quickly
as possible. He did not wish for
a fight. although he felt that he would
not have any difficulty in overcom-
: ing Captain Tighe. There was, how
ever. the danger of the maids being
reused and screaming for the DO
lice. and that had to be taken into
con sideration.
Without a word he turned TO leave
the room. but the Older man did not
intend that the young scoundrel
should escape so lightly, and he rush
ed at him with clerchad fists, but
Arthur de Stamir had no intention
of fighting iairly. even If he was less
