MYSTERY OF A DEATH.
The Causes of the Suicide of Young Rey
nolds Are I'uexplained-Who Are the
White Girls?
By the United Press.
Xew York, Xov. 13. Oeorge H. Reyn
olds, the father of the young man, Nel
son Reynolds, who committed suicide
In this city yesterdny, made a state
ment to the coroner this morning. He
said thut for the last couple of years
Xelson had acted in a moody way, nnd
did not seem to think life was worth
living. On Monday morning the fata
lly received a letter In which he Bald
that when it reached them lie would
be no longer among the living. Mr.
Reynolds thinks that the only plausible
theory for his son's death was melan
cholia.
He knew but little- ubout the two I
young women, Kathcrine and Mary
White, who called at tho house before !
and after the death of the young mun. I
About two weeks ugo one of the girls, I
accompanied by young Reynolds, up-
plied at a house for a room without
bourd. They were shown a room und'
then they went away, promising to re-1
turn with the irh l's sist-i-. a feur hi. ura i
later the two girls accompanied by
Reynolds, went to the house and en
guged the room. The young mun was
a frequent visitor after that, ills last
visit was Thursday night, when he
brought a mandolin and played in the
girls' room for several hours.
The White sisters have gone away.
They left their room about D o'clock on
Monday afternoon, when they went out
as was supposed to dinner. This morn
ing the landludy found thelrbed undis
turbed. Their trunks were strapped
and nil their things packed. As their
room had been paid for until Nov. 15,
she supposes that they probably In
tended to send for their baggage be
fore then. The landlady is loath lo be
lieve that the girls were mixed up in
young Reynold's death, as she suyn
they were very nice people. It was said
today that young Reynolds had taken
a great fancy to Kute White, the eldest
girl, but that his family objected to
anything serious.

St. Petersburg, Xov. 13.
Tho preparations for tho reception of
the body of Alexander lit in this city,
today, were hardly equal to those in
Moscow, and in consequence of a thaw,
followed by fog and snow fall, the pro
cession had to march through deep
slush and mud. The heralds yesterday
announced that the body would arrive
at 10 o'clock this morning. The hotels
were crowded to their full capacity
with visitors from nil parts of Russia
and the continent, and windows nlong
the route of the procession had been
readily rented days ago nt 100 roubles.
Preceding the ceremony of removing
the body from the Xlcholns station to
the fortress three guns were tired. Af
ter the third gun the church bells were
tolled and throughout the day minute
guns were fired. When the funeral
train arrived at the Nicholas station ut
fl.55 a. in., the station was crowded with
the nobility of Russia and represeta
tives from every other European coun
try. The hearse stood ready to receive
the remains of the dead emperor ami
nround It was ranged the guurd of hon
or, ull representatives of the navy. Jn
addition to these there were a largo
number of clergymen, choristers and
others uwaiting the arrlvul of tho train,
and beyond the limits prescribed by the
police and military was an immense
crowd of people.
.Vn Impressive Spectacle.
Amid the snlemn music of the band,
and the chanting of priests nnd singers,
the long funeral train slowly stole into
the station, until the mortuary car was
opposite the steps leading to the hearse,
when It came to a full stop. With
candles and Incense the priests stood In
a group lining the steps, the metropoli
tan of St. Petersburg and tho higher
clergy at the top, and the roll of the
drums of the grenadiers mingled with
their chanting, showing the hurmonv
ot til tributes of the church and nrmv
to tneir lormer head. A boy choir began
a chorus, in which the men Joined, and
the volume of vocal music swelled high
upon the frosty ulr. The procession
moved at 10.30 o'clock. The coltin was
covered with u goldi.Mi pall lined with
heavy ermine. .
The prince of Wales walked with the
Czar Nicholas, each wearing a uniform
similar to the one he- wore in Moscow,
only more eluborate. This characteri
zation is true of the whole procession.
It was conducted upon the same plan
as that in Moscow, only more elaborate
ly. The flJor of the cathedral of St.
Isaac's was covered with black cloth.
; the edifice, built of massive stone and
full of dignity, wus in sharp contrast
I to th' gem-like rathedr.il of St. Michael
i the Archangel in Moscow.

The procession nrrived nt the cathe-

public view, and immediately long lines I

Penvcr, ?olo., Xov. 13.
"Strunglcr's Row" was the scene of
another murder early this morning.
About 1.15 o'clock, 1H75 Market street
was visited by the fiend whose strange
hobby Is to choke women to death, und
iviieu ue ion me place jviku uyitmtt. a
Japunese girl, was a corpse, with the
marks of the strunglcr's work upon her
throat. This morning's murder was
committed in the row of houses in
which Lena Tapper ami Marie Contns
solt were' strangled. The mode of the
Japanese girl's death, too, was exactly
similar.
After partially choking her, the mur
derer completed his work by tying u
towel around her neck and tightening
the noose until life left her body. Klk i
Oyama was 21 years of ago and emi
grated from Japan to Chicago with tho
representatives of her native land to
the Columbian exposition. There she
made the acquaintance, of Tmi Oyama
and together they came to Denver last
November. Imi Oyama, says he was
the dead woman's cook, but the neigh
bors say he lived with her as her hus
band. He was the first person to enter
the girl's room niter her death.
Hud Keen u Desperate Struggle.
In the room where the murdered
woman was found there was every in
dication that a desperate struggle had
taken place. The bed clothes were dis
turbed and the white spread was cov
ered with blood In spots. A Turkish
bath towel had been used to choke the
woman, and there was another towel
''"'if l'l,nn a oressing table. The first
towel was tw isted Into a rope and there
is every evidence that the victim was
thrown buck upon the bed after the
towel had been 'placed about her neck,
and then deliberately garrotod.
No money was found In the room, and.
It Is believed, the woman was robbed.
Iml Ayama and several other Japanese
have been arrested on suspicion. The
excitement among the women Inhabit

duction which has emanated from the
present nailonnl administration. J
guess. If ull was known, that Debs hud
a good ileal to do with the writing of
that report. Nothing, else, however,
was to be expected frum u commission

destroy property and assault and kill
employes on duly, while it is conspir

mission pursued in taking testimony.
It did not appear to be the aim of the
commission to have the railroad com
panies' side presented, us it should have
been done. Report cannot, change the
policy or management of tho railroads."
