Two Red Bandanna Handkerchiefs Which Had Been Pierced With Eye holes, Also Found In tho Woods Indications Point to Murderers ai Being Employes of the Brick Com pany None cf the Robbers Hal Been Apprehended. The bandits who murdered young Denton Fowler, assistant treasurer ol the Atlas Building Material company near Newburgh, N. Y., Saturday aft ernoon, fled through the woods In such haste that they dropped tht treasurers suit case containing 5, (ii)0 in (cold, silver and bills. Tho po lice found the bag- Sunday morning while beating up the woods. In addition to the bag they found the weapons the robbers had used Id the killing, a Winchester repeating liflo, a shotgun, two revolvers, twe imps such as Italian laborers com monly wear in this part of the coun try and two red bandanna handker chiefs which had been pierced with eyeholes and used for masks. , The trail of two of the assassin, led in a wide course to the brickyard, where 150 of (lie employes Italians. Hungarians, Polos, largely had been w ait Ins for Dent Fowler's approach with their three weeks' pay. The discovery of ihe suitcase, the rifle, shotgun and revolvers, etc., to gether with the trail of the two men, indicate almost conclusively that em ployes of the Atlns company, Italians almostly certainly, were the men wht ambushed Fowler and his negro driv er. These, the police think, had the audacity to run in behind the disai,. pearlng brjekmakers and Join in the hunt. Lane believes that at. least two possibly more cf the brlckmakers, de tached themselves from the crowd sometime in the morning, slipped about 500 yards southward and wait ed in the sir-all clearing for Fowler. Kane's party found that 5 or 6 men bad squatted there for some time. Tbe clearing was within a few steps of tbe narrow little traveled road tbrough which pent Fowler and Driv er Hagsdnle were to pass, bi(t so tiicl; grown were the trees and bushes that the spot could not have been seen from the road, None of the robbers had beeu ap prehended.

MARRIAGE DATE FIXED Miss Elkins and Duke of the Ab ruzzi to Wed In February. It Is Understood That Before Hei Wedding Miss Elkins Will Havt Conferred Upon Her the Title 01 Countess of Teramo Bride-to-Bi Will Also Become a Member of tht Catholic Church Marriage Portlor Will Be $5,000,000. Paris, Sept. 6. The date for tin Wedding of MJss Katherine Elkins and tb.3 Duke of the Abruzzi has been fixed Cor the latter part of February of next year, according to rexrtt in circulation here, which seem to be absolutely reliable. It is stated that the date was decided upon after a con sultation between the prospoctivt brldegrocin nnd his brother, the Duke of Aosta. The meeting took place at Venice cn Aug. 2 and was carefully kept from the public until now. There is every reason to believe that the Duchess Of Aosta, who frorr the first has strenuously opposed the match, hns at last withdrawn her op position and has abandoned her pro posed second trip to Africa, which was planned with the Idea of avoiding being present at the wedding. Duke Will Visit Elkins Family. Within 10 days the Duke of the Abruzzi will pay a visit to the Klkint family here nnd at that time arrange mcnts will be made for the presenta tion of the senator's family to the Italian royal household. In order to avoid newspaper publici ty as much as possible the presenta tion will lake place at some obscure town in Italy and the date will be kept a secret until after the ceremo nies. It is understood that before hei marriage Miss Klklns will have con ferred upon her the title of Countesf of Teramo, in honor of one of the largest towns In the Abruzzi district. The statement is made at. the same tlmo that Miss Klklns will become a menfber of the Roman Catholic church and already plans for her in struction in that faith have been made. Her religions Instructor will be Mgr. Beccarl. the royal chaplain, and he will be aided in the work by M?r. Bisletl, who is well known in Europe as one of the pope's personal ministers as well as a close friend ol the supreme pontiff. They have al ready agreed to undertake the task of converting Miss Elkins to the Catholic faith and it is understood that she will be placed under their tutelage in a very short time. The financial arrangements which go with the marriage have been at tended to and It is announced that the matter has been satisfactorily set tled so far as both parties are con cerned. The marriage portion will be So, 000,000, which is not considered extraordinary In amount here in view of the rank of the prospective bride groom and the wealth of Senator Elkins. All of the arrangements thus far made have been the result of nego tiations between Lieutenant Marquis Negrotto de Camblaso, as the repre sentative of his personal friend, the Duke of the Abruzzi, and Senator Elkins himself or some agent acting for him with full power to sign any agreement arrived at. All Details Have Been Worked Out. While It has been Impossible thus far to got official confirmation of all this, Paris Is firmly convinced that the wedding Is to take place as stated and that all the details have been worked out and agreed by all parties concerned. A call was made at tho Italian em bassy here today and the facts as out lined here were laid before the offi cials with the request that the rr imrta be confirmed or denied. This was met with the statement that the members of the embassy staff were unable to confirm but that they would not deny that the wedding was to take place. lq private conversation one olficial talked In a tone that, tpnded strongly to confirm the whole matter.
