Inspector F. S. w. Burke, chief Of
detectives, Immediately set Headquar-
tiers Detective Dowd on the trail of the
confidence operator, hoping to catch
him on a charge Of forgery or at least
of accepting money under false pre-
lenses.
Inspector Burke hoped to make a
capture and effect conviction of the
fake bootlegger, since the confidence
msn, in gaining the belief and $73 of
the Washington victim, flashed an al
legged passport identifying himself as a
steamship radio operator and native
of Belgium.
Indications that the new 'liquor"
racket is well organized, including en-
ployment Of some agents of steamship,
cable or express companies, Is seen by
police in accurate information the con-
fidence operator had of Mr.. Lyons trip
to Paris, his present location and the
date of his return to Washington.
This information regarding Mr.. Lyon
was so accurate in detail 1t convinced
the lawyers Washington friend that
the man actually was doing Mr.. Lyon

JEFFERSON, Ohio, June 10.-Mrs.
Julia Maude Lowther, 23-year-old do
nestle and mother of a boy of Z, today
awaited sentence that will order the
electrocution of a woman in Ohio for
the first time.
A jury of IL men yesterday convicted
her of first-degree murder for the STAY
ing of Mrs. Clara Smith, % years old,
of Ashtabula, wife of the man with
whom she carried on a To-day romance.
BY failing to recommend mercy, the
jury made the death sentence manda-
tory under Ohio law.
Tilby Smith. 27-year-oid husband of
the slain woman, also is under a death
sentence. Mrs. Lowther on the wit
ness stand confessed lying in wait on a
lonely road near Ashtabula the night
of May 20, 1880. AS Smith drove his
wife to the appointed place in his truck,
Mrs. Lowther stepped from concealment
and fired the fatal shot. Mrs. Smith
died with one of her two small children
in her arms.
Attorneys for the defendant pleaded
for mercy en- the ground that Mrs.
Lowther was blinded by love of Smith.
The woman had testified they wanted
ito go away together"
Mrs. Lowther paled, but heard the
death verdict Stoically. She had asserted
she would prefer the electric chair to
life imprisonment. The defense an
nounced a motion for new trial would
be filed today.
