PHILADELPHIA, Oct. T.-Cliarged
with kidnaping a wiuiinu ninl holding
her a prisoner tor four days, rubbing her
of jewels worth more limn $'J,IMM) and
compelling her to sign bunk checks for
huge sums of money is the story which
he police unfolded here yesterday when
they announced the arrest of two news
paper men, a stenographer lu another
newspaper oltice and a barber, all of
whom arc charged with complicity in tlw
crime.
The men now locked up at the Central
police station are Howard K. Sloan, an
unemployed reporter; Henry Wiillae".
society editor of one of the morning
newspapers; J. Knight Fiiulhiy of
Wayne, near here, stenographer in the
business olllee of another morning pa
per, and (Iscur S. I'uulup, a burlier em
ployed hi one of the most proniiineut
shops iu the city. The victim is Mrs.
Muhcl Goodrich, proprietress of un es
tablishment nil North Tenth street. The
four men were arrested Saturday night.
Last Monday .Mrs. Goodrich went to
Mlice hciuhuartcrs and told a story of
kidnaping and ruhltcry so daring that
the police at first doubted its truth. She
said t lint for some time past n young
hum who represented himself ns a resi
dent of i icrmaiitown had liccn n fre
quent visitor nt her establishment. He
was well dressed and spent money free
ly. Last Wednesday week, she said, lie
proposed a drive through l'alnuount
park. He asked her to dress in her best
clothes and for her to wear all her dia
monds and other jewtdry hecausc on the
return from the drive he intended to
lake her to the finest dining room in the
city, nr he wnntcd her to 'shine" with
the other women in the place. She ac
cepted and the next day she went out
with him iu a carriage with a pair of
ri hly-caparlsotied horses and with It
conehnihn un the box wearing stylish
livery.
At n lonely place in Fninuocnt park
the carriage was stopped by a man who,
she said, represented himself as I. Clar
ence Gihl.nny. the secretary and attorney
of I lie law and Order society of ilus
city. '11 's man, she went on to say, told
her that he had u warrant for her ar
rest, but that the matter could be
lixel up. He was invited Into the car
riage iiiii! the next moment she wa
K'igged ai d Idindfnhlcd.
She was driven somewhere, she did not
know when', lull she noticed from one
corner o( llic handkerchief over her eyes
that the men paid toll at two tollgates
ami that they took her into a huiiding
where H fire engine ami a hook ami lad
der t nic k were standing. She was kent
n ptisoncr from Tuesday night until
Friday night without anything to est
or ill ink mid was then taken on another
loi g drive, blindfolded, to a house w her?
she was kept from Friday until Monday.
In the latter place the men, who were
innskii:, stripped her of the jewelry mid
at th point of a revolver compelled her
to sign In) nk checks for various sums of
tnoi.ey she had deposited In the Third
National dank. They made her sign for
more- than she possessed, but compelled
her to piomise she would make up tha
cVlicicm y when they released her. The
men. li" si; Id. then took her on suotner
long ilrh id put her out of the earring-
nr Tenth and Poplar streets, about
a ndle from her house.
With other information the woman
pav thrni. t lie detectives hegnn to work
on what they lielievcd to lie a fairy tnle.
Thev got several clues which led them to
s firclioiise iu North Wayne, 15 miles
from this city. The lire company is a
volunteer organization and the key to
the place was kept in the nearest dwell
ing. The nearest house was occupied by
a fi'inily named Findluy and there the
police learned that one of the sons, .1.
height Kindlay, hail been home but lit
tle during the past two weeks, (letting
a inscription of him the police returned
to the city and found the young man,
who is only '21 years old. In the office
where he is employed.
He was charged wiih the crime and
broke down and implicated the others.
I'indhiy said he had impersonated the
coachman, that Sloan, the unemployed
reporter, acted tile part of Attorney Gib
bons: that the barber played the part of
the rich Geriu.mtowti resident and that
Wallace, the society editor, had rented
a house in Germantown, where Mrs.
Goodrich was to have lieen held a cap
tive. He told substantially the same story as
that narrated by the woman. He said
they kept her contined in the fire house
and then took her to the house where
Sloan was arrested, at 2.Vti North
Twelfth street. The plan to keep her
III the Wallace house in Germantown
was abandoned In fnvor of the Sloan
house. Sloan, the police said, conceived
the whole plot, and it was he that got
the barls-r into it. He hail asked Dun
l:ip to play the part of the rich man and
get Mrs. Goodrich outdoors, so that he
.Tuild serve the warrant on her for keep
ing a disorderly house. He did not re
veal the real purpose of the scheme to
the barber.
All the jewelry was recovered, most of
it having liern found in the possession of
Findluy mid Sloan, who were wearing
several of the rings. Only one check
for $l.Vi was cashed mid most of this
money was also recovered. Sioan was to
have lieguii work on the same newspaper
on which l'iiullay was employed today.
The penalty of kidnaping in this state,
nnder act of assembly, ns amended at
the last session of the legislature, is life
imprisonment for the principals in the
discretion of the court.

four husbands, live children, one sister
and four inciulici's of different families

Htoiiinch.
Following closely upon the death of her
first husband, Fred Schweger. according
is the police department data, came the
death of two children.
The second husband died suddenly sev
eral years lifter the wedding, and the
children of this marriage died in rapid
succession.
The third husband of Mrs. Witwer
was William Stowe, who died at Middle

tigated by the coroner but without re
sult. Shortly after Mr. Slowe's death Mrs.
Witwer came to Unvtcin nml became
housekeeper for Charles K. Keller, a

NF.W YOltK, Oct. 8.-Colonel It. N.
Thompson of this city, president of ties
United States Naval Academy Alumni
association, makes u statement to the
press in connection with the Schley in
quiry iu which he says:
"There is one story which 1 nm very
anxious should be truthfully presented
to tile public. After Mutiny's buok win
published Mr. Maclay stated that Ilia
proofs hud been submitted to the com
manding officers, including Admiral
Saiupsun, and that they approved hit
statements. A reporter culling upon
Admiral Sampson when he wiyLill in hit
bed obtained from the adniTral what
uppeareel to be a continuation of thi
statement. The admiral was asked if
he hud seen nn J read the proofs uf Mat-lay's
book unci lie said yes. Hut unfor
tunately he was too ill to go into the
matter ut liny length and explain every
thing and so the public wi re informed,
and today believe that Admiral Samp
Son entirely approved the statement that
Schley was a cowurd and u c-ailiff, which
was the gist of .Muciuy's charge against
Schley.
"1 nm in u position to state the true
facts, unci you may absolutely rely upon
them us the truth. The proofs were scut
by Mac-lay to Admiral Sampson, wiih
recpiest I hat the) should be read unci cor
rected. The admiral at the time was
uot in good health unci did not wish to
undertake the labor but his secretary
pointed out that the Mnclny history was
a standard one unci used at the Naval
academy us n text book. This volume
brought the history clown through the
period tif the Spanish war unci it wns de
sirable (hut there should be no inac
curacies in it.
The admiral, therefore, consented to
read them and ho did correct a certain
purt of them, but ns soon ns he arrived
at the part which contained the state
ment that Schley was a coward unci a
caitiff, lie was very much angered and
said the statement was one tile author
had no right to make, that it wns unjust
and unfair to speak of any naval otllcer
iu such terms and dec-lined to have any
thing further to do with the proofs.
Secretary Finiicheil the Work.
"His secretary, impressed with the
great desirability of having the state
ments uf facts accurate, unci not believ
ing that he wns in any wny responsible
for the statements of opinions did. on his
own account, compare the book with the
records unci make on the margins a
number of corrections. As these were iu
the same handwriting ns those made
when Admiral Sampson was giving his
personal attention to the corrections,
Mr, Muclny wns perfectly justified in his
statement. The order of the secretary
of the nnvy forbidiug naval olllc-ers to
make any statement for publication re
garding this controversy, Issued imme
diately after tiiis interview, pi-evented
the above correction being officially
made.
"There Is one other matter tlint has
been brought up iu which accusations of
carelessness, to any the least, have been
niucle against the gallant Wainwriglit, iu
collection with the chart of the battle
of Santiago, prepared ami printed in the
socalled appendix, yet anyone reading
the report accompanying the chart sees
that there was no misrepresentation as
to what it was. It did not claim to be
and ill tile nature of things could not lie
absolutely correct. At the best there
could only be us there was, a general
discussion between the navigators, each
one putting clown his ship where he
thought it ought to be, unci where there
were dilTerciiccs of opinion, the majority
had to decide as to what position was to
be accepted and so the bourd reported.
"The chart iu question, which shows,
ill a general way, the positions of the
ships is as accurate us iu the nature of
thiugs we can make it, and in any event
is an approximation of the truth. This
description stands true today and all the
criticism of Wainwriglit and the others
is entirely unjust."
ANOTHER HAZING OUTRAGE

Stockwcll, a student iu the preparatory
depurtniclit of Iteloit college, was en
ticed from his room at the house of Pres

by members of the middle prepnralory
class. He was overpowered, divested of
every article of clothing mid compelled
te walk ahead of a score of howling
students, aided by the application of
swilcmr. in the hands of his tormentors
His clolliing was fastened to the top of
a t'ugpolc nml after he had been sulll
cielitl) "disciplined" he was allowed to
go home to plan revenge.
The outrage is the climax of a number
uf class tights this year in which the
worst punishment inflicted heretofore
was compelling students to walk into
town after having been driven far into
the country.
The faculty probably will take no ac
tion on the occurrence owing to the fuel,
that the perpetrators of the deed aie un
known ni! the incmlKTS of Stoekwcil's
class have taken matters in their own
hand. Stockwcll lives in Cherry Val

CONNrZLL WAS WARNED.
Had Tukeu Precautions to Prevent the
Filipino Attack.
MANILA, Oct. 7. Major Morris 0.
Foote of the Ninth United Sluti'S in
fantry, who bus returned here from the
Island of Nuinnr, was iu Bahiuglgu the
day before the disaster to Company C.
He says thut Cuptuiu Connell had been
fully warned and had taken what he
(Major Foot") considered every neces
sary precaution. Information thut a plot
wns brewing among the Filipinos cii'
to Major Foote from a priest who said
tlint it was the plans of the populace ut
both Bnlangiga and Basey to attack the
gnrrisons and thut the Busey garrison
wns to be attacked from a cock pit in
the rear of the barracks. Orders were
immediately given to demolish the cock
pit and extra guards were stationed.
There is intense' feeding throughout
the army because of the massai i -.
would not be the ease to uny sui-h ex
tent hail it been the work of ordinary
insurgents. The latter might have boon
expected to commit such an outrage.
Feeling is particularly intense in mili
tary circles because the authors of the
massacre were pacifiers, incest of whom
hail taken the oath of allegiance and
many of whom, including the presidente
of Bahingiga, were actually holding
ofilee.
Some of the after effects are already
shown at many points, particularly et
Haitian and Calooc.in, in the provinces
of Bntnngas and Manila, where disaffec
tion is manifesting itself, although it is
not likely to be allowed to go far.
On the other hand the officers and
troops at nil the gnrrisons throughout
the archipelago feed that the disaster
conveys a lesson to Ihemsidves of the
necessity for increased vigilance.
