UBHT ON THE MYSTERY.
Hiram Sawtellc's Body Found
Near Lebanon, Me.
IT WAS IIKADLBSH AMD AHMLKSU.
Is Isaao II. BawtolU tin Cain In This
Vratrlclder A History of One of Now
England's Most Intoreitlnff Murder
MrsterUs A Had Outlook for Isaac
1 BosTOft, Feb. IS. The body of Hiram Saw
U1U was found at 1:15 p. m. In tho woods
nsar Lebanon, Mo. It had beau decapitated
and the head has not yet been discovered.
When found the body was projecting from
a poorly made grave and bad a bullet In the
heart. It was feet uppermost, not three
yards from where Officer Shields found the
paper that was wrapped around the ax.
The body was on tl rely naked, with the ex
ception of the feat, whioh bad on pair ot
socks. Beside It was a lot of clotted blood,
w hr the arms and head had been cut off.
OfQcer Shields now has In bis possession the
empty shell from which tho bullet came that
killed HIrnm Hawtelle. The bullet itself
iwas also found, and a gold collar button,
bent and twisted.
The Illioovery of the Ilodr.
The finding of the body In the woods shows
.conclusively that a horrible murder has boen
.oommltted, and the outlook for the accused
'prisoner, Isaac B. Bawtelle, Is darker than
ever before. Yet it is claimed by soma that
as Isaao undoubtedly had confederates, the
I murder Itself may have been committed by
them, although the prisoner himself may bo
morally responsible for It.
The body waa removed to the BlaUdell
Oornsr school house, three miles nearer East
(Rochester. The head ia belioved to be tome
'where in the woods, and the ofllcers are con
fident ot finding It soon. The belief grows
stronger that Hiram came to his death soon
after leaving Rochester on Wednesday, Fob.
that he was given to understand that he
iwas being driven to see his sick daughter.

A riot to Kill Family.
In December last, Isaao B. bawtelle was
pardoned from the state prison, where he
,had served a long sentence on three indfot
jments for rape. Since that time ho has
iboarded with his brother Hiram In Hoi-
bury. Hiram kept a fruit store on Wash
ington street, which, together with his resi
dence, had been owned by their father, and
was held in their mother's name. Isaao
had deceived hia mother and Induced her to
transfer the property to htm, but Hiram
1 put an injunction upon it so that Isaao
.'could not sell it.
1 The property is said to be worth $15,000
'to 120,000. These transactions have caused
I hard feeling between the brothers, and it is
beuered that in order to removo every ob
Istaclefrom his path and to give him pos
.seenion ot the property, Isaao plotted to re
, move his brotsr and the latter's entire fom
;lly, consisting ot his wife, a daughter, aged
8; a son aged 5, and an infant. Week before
I last Isaao asked Mrs. Bawtelle'a permission
to take one of the children to LowelL
.Being suspicious of him she refused. On
I Saturday, Feb. 1, Isaao came into the house
land told Mrs. Sawtelle that her husband
'had given him permission to take the little
?(lrl to Lowell, and the mother finally al
owed her to go with him. When the father
came home at night he denied having given
his consent to the girl's going.
He Poisons the Little Girl.
From Boston Isaao and the little girl went
to Lowell, staying until Monday, when they
went to Rochester, N. H. Whilo at the
latter place, the little girl claims, ber uncle
attempted to poison her with medicine and
; pills, but the only effect was to make ber
Iilok. Then Isaao telegraphed to Hiram that
the girl was ill with the grip, and to come
on at once. This was Feb. 4. The next
tmorning a second telegram came to the
(mother, urging ber to come to Rochester,
i the Inference being that had she responded
in person she, too, would have been dis
posed of.
Hlsam Ones to His Death
i It was finally settled that Hiram should
go alono, and he left Boston Wednesday,
Fab. 6, at 1 p. m. From this moment his
movements are shrouded in mystery. He
jwas never seen alive again by his friends.
The following day, Feb. 0, Isaac and the
llttla girl arrived home, and the former de
nied having seen Hiram at all.
Mrs. Bawtelle was suspicious ot foul play.
and accused Isaao of putting his brother out
of the way, which ho strenuously denied.
On the following Bunday he disappeared.
Hiram's absonco was reported to the police
on Saturday, and on Monday, Feb. 10, Spe
cial OOlcer Shields started tor Rochester,
while search was also begun in this city.
From the investigations made br tho rjolice
'it Is learnod that on Wednesday, Feb. 5,
Isaac Bawtelle hired a team at a Hoc better
livery stable and met a man at the depot
(Hiram without doubt), with whom he
drove away. Within half an hour he re
turned alone with the team. It is belioved by
some that he delivered Hiram into the keep
ing of nls confederates at this time. Later
in the afternoon he purchased a hatchet.
tplekax and spade at a hardware store, also
a HUTU uagT iu wuicu w curry luvm.
Then again hiring the team, he drove off
in the direction takeu in the morning. He
did not return until 0 o'clock at night. '

The body was fully identified by Mrs.
Bawtelle, the murdered man's wife. The
theory that the murder was committed iu
New Hampshire is supported by the state
ment made by John Willey, a logging tam
driver, who says that he pasted rt carriage,
supposed to contain Hiram and Isaac, in the
pine woods between here and Rochester, and
a lew minutes alter ward nearu three shots
In quick succession. A number of other

unanimity, in various ways by petitions,
resolutions In the public press and through
their representatives In congress have sig
nified their earnest deslro that the four
hundredth anniversary of the discovery of

be recognized and commemorated by this
nation In 1SW. They would have this "gen
eration record its grateful appreciation of
tbe genius and tho courageous faith ot this
great man, whose life ami sorvics contrib
uted so much to the progress and elevation
of mankind; and not only the people of this
couutry, but people of the world, should be
invited to participate and contribute to the
grandeur of the celebration. It is indicated
by a recognized public sentiment that this
celebration shall fncludo appropriate cere
monies and a World's fnir and exhibition
unsurpassed and uuequaled, If possible, by
any national commemoration that has pre
ceded It.
"The committeo in unanimously present
ing this report believe that the celebration
proposed is a deserved recognition of the
great services of Christopher Columbus,
and that it will lead the people of the United
States to appreciate with greater patriotism
tho beneficence of f roe institutions and the
achieved national greatness of their coun
try, and that by the Interchange with our
own people and those of other nations who
will be brought together tho material in
terests and prosperity of all will be pro
moted." The rules were then adopted by a strict

The senato was In secret session for tbreo
hours. At the end of that time the doors
were opened and the educational bill was
taken up, Mr, Blair resuming his remarks in
favor of the measure. Iu tho course of his
remarks Mr. Blair commented on the fact
that very little of his speech had appeared
in tho dally papers or had been telegraphed
from this city. Ho stated that ho would
probably occupy tho time of the senate for
two afternoons more, Tho house bill for tho
relief of the Indians of tbe Devil's Lako
agency, N. D., was passed.
Postmaster ueneral Wanamaker argued
in favor of his postal telegraph scheme be
fore the house committee. He said thoro
was no personat feeling In his proposed
measure. He thought the schema would
work to the benefit of the telegraph compa
nies by giving them udditloual work, but
the companies differed with him.
l'resldent A. 11. Chandler, ot the l'ostal
Telegraph company, said bis company could
not do tho work contemplated within the
maximum rates hxed by the postmaster
general's bill. He thoujht that the govern
ment bad no right to establish a service that
might rulu a company with $7,000,000 or
$8,000,000 invested.
Mr, Wanamaker told the committee at
this point something about the scheme to
establish a new telegraph compauy to carry
out his postal telegraph ideu. lie thought
thero was no greater barm In tho govern
ment establishing a business tor the lieuellt
of the people than for private citUens to do
the same.

CHEERS FOR T. C. PLATT.
They Closed the Cooper Union
Fair Meeting.
MIL PLATT JIAKKS A PROPOSITION
lie Does Not Oldect to Mr. Hepew's
"Two-Thirds Proposal," imd llio Pro
posal Is Indorsed Speeches by Depew,
Miller and Oilier Well Known Orators
New York, Feb. 18. Tho Cooper Union
hall was densely crowded last night and
hundreds of jicoplo were unable to gain ad
mission. Tho occasion of the throng was n
mass meeting to protest against legislative
delay in passing the AYorld's fair bill. Among
the prominent jiersous on the platform were
Warner Miller, C. M. Df pew, John 1L Btarin,
Ambrose Bnow, Joseph C. Hendrix, A. M.
Teunoy, James W. Tapjwn and John Foord.
Mr. Btarin presided, and cntled upon Mr.
Foord, as secretary, to read a series of reso
lutions, which set forth that tho original
bill sent to Albany was drawn up by both
Democrats and Republicans; that it was n
purely business, non-partisan measure de
signed for tho benefit of all the people; that
this non-political character of the entorprto
must be maintained or congress will not
sanction tbe selection ot Now York as the
site for the fair; that the commission named
in tho bill is nou-partlsau; that the commit
tees now In charge, which havo been criti
cised as Democratic, coaso to control the
project after tbe commission takes charge,
and that there Is no reason for dragging
politics into the matter In any way.
Thff Ilesolutlolis Adopted.
The resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed and the audleuco gave tbreo cheers. Mr,
Elihu Root then read a letter from Senator
Evarla, sympathizing with the tho objects
of the meeting. Edward Conklln read reso
lutions adopted at a meeting of tho Central
Labor union in accord with 4he sentiments
expressed in the foregoing resolutions.
ITon. Warner Miller Speaks.
Hon. Warner Miller then mado a speech
saying be had thought for thirty years that
he was a Republican, but had suddenly
found that ho was regarded by some as a
Tammany Democrat because ho was lu
favor of tho World's fair bill. Ho found
consolation In tbe fact that he had been
read out of the party in good company
that of U M. Depcw, Elihu Root, C. N.
Bliss, 8. V. It. Cruger and others. (Ap
plause.) Mr. Miller went on to deplore the
cry of partisanship that bad been raised
against the bill.
Mr. Miller further said that the oommlttx e
on legislation was composed of seventeen
Republicans and eight Democrats, and the
sub-committco thereof, whioh drew up the
bill, was composed ot two Itepublloans
Depownnd Root and one. Democrat, Mr,
Whitney, so that If tho bill was a Tammany
plot, Depew und Root were the traitors.
(Applause).
Mr. Depew Kxplalns.
Mr. Depew also spoko, saying that it
Columbus bad known what trouble this
matter was going to cause be never would
nave discovered America. (Laugbter). Jir.
Depew appreciated his peril in coming to
the meeting without receiving permission
from the new guardian of the Republican
party of New York state, Hon. W. li
Chandler, of Hew unmpsuire. lie went on
to say that everybody in fit Louis and Chi
cagoDemocrats, Republicans, Mugwumps,
Anarchists and Socialists agreed on tills
one point of wanting the talr.
It was reservedfor Hew Yorkers to leavo
Washington and call eaoh other bad names
at home. Every man is entitled to his opin
ion without being charged w 1th party bias.
Avery eminent and able Republican leader,
with his friends, thinks that a fair in New
York In 1SU2, because of the machinery of
the city government being lu the hands ot
the Democracy, would load to a number of
tho vast crowd of visitors illegitimately vot
ing iu tho presidential election. 1, on the
contrary, believe that ' the great prosperity
which would follow all over the country
from the fair would redound to tho credit
ot a national administration undor whoo
auspices it was held, the same as the fair of
1876 unquestionably did. Each of us is en
titled to a fair consideration without cuttiug
each other's throats.
The "Two-thirds Vote" Amendment.
In conclusion Mr. Depew Baid: "I have.
after consultation with as many ot the
members ot the committeo as I could talk
with, formulated a suggestion which I think
solves the enigma. That suggestion meets
with tho approval of a majority of tho leg
islative committee and is agreed to by the
mayor of tho city. I laid it before Senator
Hiscock, and he said It seemed to him to
meet all objections, but he wished to seo his
friends before expressing his adhesion to it.
My suggestion Is brletly thnt the original
bill before tho legislature aud tho bill befure
congress be amended so thutno contract can
bo let, no vacancy iu the commission or cor
poration filled aud no executive ofllcer ap
pointed except by a two-thirds voto ot nil
tho 1UJ commissioners. (Applause.) Tills
evening I received from Washington a tele
gram in which Senator Hiscock says:
" 'I agree heartily with your suggestlonlof
an amendinout to the World's fair bill. It
meets every dllllculty.' Every man with
whom I have sjiokon agrees with me in its
entire acceptability to Democrats, Republi
cans aud Mugwumps. How let us all, with
out regard to our party atllliation, lay aside
our dllfcrences and come together and upon
lines upon which seusiblo men can agree
unanimously, pass ling bill at Albany, and
go, us the Empire Stato should, to Washing
ton to claim a heritago which will benetit
not ouly ourselves, but rtdouud to the glory
oi tuo republic and to tno prosperity of the
whole people of the nation."
Mr. Plutt's Proposition.
Other speeches ot Blmilar import followed.
Finally Mr, John F. Plummer appeared on
tbe platform and announced that if Mr,
Depew's "two-thirds" proposal or compro-.
mlto wns indorsed by tho meeting, Mr, Piatt
would agree to it. In making his announce
ment Mr. Plummer said Mr. Piatt had s nt
for him that evening at the Fifth Avenue
hotel and told him he was anxious to have
tbe fair iu New York city, and that If Mr.
Deiww's proposals were indorsed, there was
no doubt it could be carried In tbe legis
lature, Mr. Depow made a few remarks compli
menting Mr. Piatt and saying that his action
showed that tbo criticisms on bis natives
were unjust Tbo "two-thirds" proposal
was theu Indorsed.
Three Cheers for T. C. Piatt.
Tho question was put and the proposal was
heartily indorsod. This bad the effect of
bringing the meeting to a sudden closo,
with three chusrs for Thomas C. Piatt.
Whilo the meeting was lu progress within
the hall, tho thousauds of people outsldo,
who had been uuable to get inside, were
holding and overflow meeting, presided
over by Mr, R. Fulton Cutting, und ad
dressed by Capt. Thomas B. Cutloui, C. O.
