IlKSUMEOF AN INTKKKSTINU CASK The Career of Illrelielt, nlln "I.or.l Somerset," the Vonng Kaiiulslts Who Is Aremril at F. C. Jlenwell'i Murder. The Theory of the I'nllcc. I'ni.NCKTo.v, Ont., JInrch 11. J. llet;lnnld Blrchell must answer for the murder of Frederick C. Uenwell. Tho coroner's Jury, after considering all tho testimony, 1ms so decided. They rendered a verdict finding that Bemvell camo to his death at the hnuds of Blrchell, and they Implicated Blrchell's wlfeaghavlnBgullty knowledgeof thocrlme after its commission. After n lengthy con sultation tho following verdict waaagreod upon: Verdict of the Coroner' Jury. "We find that the said P. C. Uenwell camo to his death by two pistol shots fired Into his head from behind, one at or near the nape of the neck and the other a little behind nnd above tho left ear, either one of which was 1 ' MR. AND MRS. l)inCIIELI suftlclent to causo death, and your jurors have reason to believe, and do believe, that sold shots were fired by the hand of Ileal nald Blrchell, alias Somerset, with deliber ate purpose, wilfully and feloniously, to commit murder, on or about the 17th of February, IS), nnd we nre of opinion that Caroline Blrchell, tho wife of snld Reginald Blrchell, was accessory to tho murder after tho fact," Mrs. Illrchcll's Position. Thero wus very llttlo difference of'opinion amoug tho jurors as to tho question of guilt, the only question being whether or not a verdict should be given in the absence of the prisoners. Under tho law of Canada a wife cannot be punished for shielding her hus band, and therefore Mrs. Blrchell cannot be mnde accessory after tho fact, in tho general sense of the term. Tho Hotly Kxhutneil. When the inquest was resumed D. H. Pelley, the young man who nccomrumied Ilenwell and Blrchell to this country, was taken to the grnvo of the murdered man, where the body wnsexhumed. Ho recognized tho dead man as Benwoll. After Pelley had Identified tho body of his murdered com panion he was put in tho witness box. Ho again told the wonderful story of his asso ciations with Birchell and Benwoll as he told it at Niagara Falls. Wore There Other Victims? New and sensational developments are cropping up in connection with the tragedy, and the question now is whether there havo not been at least two victims. Somo two or three years agoayoung Englishman, Neville II. Pickthall, came here, and about a year ago purchased a farm six miles south of Woodstock. About four months ago he married the daughter of his minister. Feb. 10 last Pickthall raised n 1,000 on a mort gage on his farm and left here, saying to his wife: "I am going to double this money be fore I come back." He was seen at Niagara Falls that night, and then said ho was going to Now York to meet his sister. He Was Never Semi Again. The testimony In the Birchell examination showed that Pickthall reached New York and thero met tho Birchells. Since thon no trace of him has been found and no word has boen received from him. His disopear anco paused a stir af tlie tinie nnd tho police aent descriptions of him all over the country. The theory now is that he was enticed to New York by Birchell with the expectation of making a large sum of monoy, and that ho was put out of the way for the money he carried with him. A search of Blrchell's buggoge will be mode for anything that might give a clew to Plckthall's fato. l'elloy's testimony, if true, shows conclu sively that Mrs. Birchell aided and abetted in the swindling of Pelley and the deceased, whether she knew of the murder or not. Bhe frequently mentioned the fictitious farm to Pelley. Jtlrptiull'e StrmiRn Career. What is known of Blrchell's career Is not at all to his crodit. It is said that he was always a liar, always an adventurer. In college ho loved to poso as the scion of some great family. If caught in a lie be would easily laugh it off. He made the acquaint ance of the daughter of David Stephenson, a traffic manager of the London and North western railroad, and won her heart by his dasliiug ways and taking lies. Ho said ho was a great laud owner and stock raiser in Canada. They were secretly married against the father's wishes, who wished to know moro about tho young man, nnd sailed nway for Canada. And here, in tho llttlo village of Woodstock, which they reached In tho autumn of XS83, they began to cut tho swell which made him Buch a local celebrity. Here He Was "Lord Soineraet." Here be was Blrchell no longer, but (Somer set, Lord Somerset, or nt least the son of Lord. Somerset, with all the glumour of a title about him. He was an exquisite in every way. His linen was embroidered to suit his runk. He even went in debt like n lord, uml when bo left Woodstock there wero many poignant memories in the shape of un paid bills left behind him. His wife, a blue eyed, light haired, pretty little blonde, wus a fit companiou for one so high bred. They left ot last and went back to Eng land, and for a time lived with Mr. Stephen son, who forgave his daughter for her secret marriage. The girl told no tales out of school, though it Is certain that by this tlm.i she know her husband to be a rascal. Aud meanwhile "Lord Somerset" set ubout some ineansof recouping his exhausted exchequer. In the course of time he fell in with Frtd erick 0. Uenwell, of Cheltenham, England, and Douglass Raymond Pelley, of Saffron Waldon, Essex, and lurod them to Canada as heretofore described in these dispatches. The Theory of the I'ollce, Birchell, his wife, Benwoll and Pelley crossed the Atlantic together on the Oar mania By the time they reached Buffalo Palley had been blad 174 How much Bsu. will was mulcted does not seam clear, al though Blrchell Is said to have carefully ex amlned the thirteen pieces of valuuble bag gage the murdered man had with him. Birch, ell also knew that Ilenwell had considerable money with him. The party reached Buffalo Feb. 10. The next day Blrchell and ilenwell started for the mythical farm, leaving Mrs. Blrchell and Pelley in Buffalo. Blrcholl re turned alone that night aud said Ilonwf.l bad gene further up the country looking for desirable land. For the next few days Mr, and Mrs. Birchell and Pelley remained at the Falls, and during this time Blrchell acted so suspiciously that Pelley feared ot his life, I'elley's Wild Oonse Chase, Ous day Blrchell said thut a message from Beuwell to the Stafford house had said to send all his baggage to the Fifth Avenuo hotel, New York. Two daya later Blrchell came Into the house aud saldt "What do you think I have seen In the paper In connection with that man fouud murdered at Princeton. They have found a cigar case marked V, C Benwoll." It was arranged that Pelley should go to New York and make Inquiries at tha Fifth Avenue, He did so, but found uo clew. Re turning to Clifton he found a coiiAabla on the tteM of the Baldwin house who told him Blrchell had Identified the body aud was likely to bo arrested. Bo Pelley went dowu to Magistral Hill and told but atorr. know. ingatlne time tnat ho was supectod ot complicity In Ibe murder. The I'lllillnu if the llody. The spot where Frederick Bonn ell was murdered Is an uncanny thlckot set In tho midst of swamps lu the llttlo hamlet of Princeton. It Is desolato nnd fearful in Its Isolatloa Until the rough cart track was cut through tho tract in 1S88 the forest had been deserted oven by tbo woodcutters for yeArs. Several days after the murder the body was discovered by two woodsmen. When the body was found It was lying nstrldo a rotten tree stump. The legs wero partly crossed, while tho trunk itself bolf rested, half hung over the stump. The head was bent backward ngalmt the spine. ' Tho eyes were closed, so was the mouth. The right arm and hand hail been frozen Into a clinched position of defiance, while the left hung limp. The flesh was blue from oxposuro to the cold. Thero wero two bullet holes in the head. How the Heed Wnn Done. A very plausible theory is that Bonn oil nnd his murderer were walking down tho road, tho one before tho other. Tho mur derer, when his opportunity was best, drew out his revolver and fired two shots luto the neck of his companion. Ho must havo lieen hnrd upon his victim, for tho powder from 0110 bullot, as it en tered tho fide of the hoad, burned the oyo nnd scorched it with tho powder. The other bullet entered just below the base of the brnln, squaro In the back. Blrchell wus seen within five miles of the spot on Monday, Feb. 17. Ho was seen to lave the station at Kastwoodf Out., with Frederick Benweli shortly before noon, nnd Inter tho inir wero met walking together along tho (lovernor's road lu tho direction of Pi lucoton. When Blrchell wus next seen it was towurd I o'clock in tho afternoon, and ho was alone. , FIFTY-FIRST CONGRESS. Condensed Report of l'roeeedlnga In Sen ntu nnd Hnilsp. Washington, March 7. In tho senate the following public bulldiug bills wore pnssedt Sterling, Ills., 50,000; Oakland, Cal , MOO, 000; Cheyenne, Wy. T., 150,000; Chester, Pa., $100,001); Helena, M. T., 100,0 0. Tho bill appropriating $500,000 for a building nt Salt Lake City gave rise to debate, Mr. Plumb dosiring to havo the appropriation reduced to $100,000. At 2 o'clock the bill went over and thn educational bill was taken up. In response to Inquiries, Mr. Blair said ho could not fix n day for voting on tho bill. Several sena tors were still to speak, among them Mr. Evnrts, who was to conclude the debate. In tho courso of his remarks on the bill Mr. Blair said that any longer delay In dispos ing of this matter would bo unjustifiable, and ho would look upon It as n perpetual abandonment of the effort to give national aid to the schools of the country, The Re publican party was pledged in its platform to the passngo of tho bill, nnd if that pirty failed to inako good its plcilgo that fact would put an end to the pnrty. Like many other mpn in this country, he owed no jio lltical allegiance to a party thut lied. Mr. Hale spoko in opposition to the bill. It had been before tho senuto for eight yenrs, nnd all tho time thore had been a rising tide against it. In his state, Mr. Halo asserted, the press and educators and clergymen wero against tho bill, and the incrensod opposition to it was only because obbervatlou nud reason wero ngalnst it. He controverted Mr. Ulaii's assertion that tho condition of education was worso now than twenty years ago.

TAULBEE 18 DEAD And Correspondent Klncnld Must Stand Trial fur Murder Washington, March ia Ex Congressman William Preston Taulbee, who was shot in an altercation with Charles E. Klncald, the Washington correspondent of Tho Wtlivillo Times, In the houso wing of tho Capitol, on the afternoon of Feb. St), died March 11 nt Providence hospital; His death has been exiected for several days, but whllo there was still a chance for bis life the physi cians thought it advisable not to pcrmithitntomnko an anto-mortem Btati miit of tha clrciiinstnnces sur round liicr t lie shoot ing. He dlod, therefore, without making any statement, and the case ngalnst Klncnld will rest entirely on thetestlmony of himself anil tile two eyo witnesses of tho tragedy. One of those witnesses wns Samuel Donaldson, of Tennessee, formerly doorkeeper of tho I101113 of representatives, who has lefused to mako any statement for publication. Donaldson was with Taulbee at the time the shooting occurred. Tho other witness was n boy who cannot be found. The stories of the shooting differ in one important particular. Klncald and Taulbee had au encounter some time prior to tho shooting In the cor ridor adjoining the houso of representatives on me oast, it was just before the shooting took place that Klncnld had armed him self, and after tho first encounter witli Tnulbeo, and seeing him going dowu the stairs that led to the basement, bad run after him, called to him, and as ho turned shot him in the fnco. Kin- KINCA1D. cold claimed that he armed himself In fear of danger from n further encounter with Tnulbeo; that Taulbee had warned him t arm himself, and that Tnulbeo insulted and attacked him on their second encountor, rendering his resort to tho pistol a necessity. As soon as the news of Taulbeo's dentil reached police headquarters an officer was 6ent to Kincald's room. Ho was awukened, and after he had dressed was taken to tin police station, where ho now Is. Thothcory of self defense will be set up by Kincai d's lawyers. Aaron Kohn, the noted criminal lawyer of Louisville, Ky , and Judgo Hnngls, the well known jurist of Kentucky, havo b en engaged by Kincald's friends to defend him iu his trial. Boon nf ter ho was shot Mr. Tnulbeo re quested that no prosecution against Klnculd should bo taken, but tho low will ha fol lowed. Tnulbeo wns born iu Morgan county, Ky., Oct 21, 1851; wns educated iu privnlo country schools; studied for tho ministry from 1875 to 187S, and for tho law from 187S to lt-81; was ndiiilttul to tho bar in 1881; w. s elected clerk of the Miigollln county com t In 1878 and ro elected In 1882; was elected to tho Forty-ninth congress and was ro-olected to tha Fiftieth congi ess us a Democrat ANOTHER MINE HORROR. One Hundred and Sixty Lliea Ileportt-d Lost in Wuli-s. London, March 11. A torrifio explosion occurred In the Morsrt colliery, Glnn raorganshire, Wales, which, it is feared, will bo attended with much loss of Ufa. O110 hundred miners are entombed and commu nication with them is impossible for tho present It is feared that all of them have perished. Later advices from the Morsa colliery ni o that 300 miners were entombed, but that 00 have been rescued from tho workings nearest the mnln shaft Most of thoio taken out nre unhurt, but several have re ceived fatal injuries. Heavy foils of rock prevent tho explorers from reaching tho 11101 e remote workings. Tho clioko dump is spreading, nnd it is feared that 100 lives have been lost. A further fall of debris into tho wreched Morsa colliery has completely blocked the pit and rendered nil attemps to rescue tho imprisoned miners futile until tho mnssan bo cleared nway. The latest estimate places tho number of dead at over 100. Eight bodies, horribly mutilated, have been taken out of the Mois-a pit. It is rumored that the rescuers Iiato heard ap peals for help coining from tho entombed men, but the rescuers are uuablo to push their search because of the gas and flame which confront them.
