THREW MONEY Ml
Young Fowler's Suit Case Con
taining $5,600Found by Police.
Two Red Bandanna Handkerchief
Which Had Been Pierced With Eye
holes, Also Found In the Wood
Indications Point to Murderers at
Being Employes of the Brick Com
pany None of the Robbers Hai
Been Apprehended.
The bandit who murdered young
Denton Fowler, assistant treasurer ol
the Atlas Building Material company
near Newbttrgh, N. Y., Saturday aft
ernoon, fled through the woods In
such haate that they dropped th
treasurers suit case containing ?.",
u'DO In gold, silver and bills. The 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 is

lifle, a shotgun, two revolvers, twe
caps such as Italian laborers com
monly wear In this part of (he coun
try and t'.vo red bandanna handker
chiefs which had been pierced with
tyeholes and used for nwsks. ,
The trail of two of the assassin,
led In a wide course to the brickyard,
where l.'O of (he employes Italians.
Hungarians, Poles, largely had been
waiting for Dent Fowler's approach
with their three weeks' pay.
Tbe discovery of Ihe suitcase, the
rifle, shotgun and revolvers, etc., to
gether with the (rail of the two men,
indicate almpst conclusively that em
ployes of the Atlas company, Italians
ulmostly certainly, were the men wht
ambushed Fowler and his negro driv
er. These, the police think, had the
audacity to run in behind the disap
pearing brlckmakers and Join in the
bunt.
Lane believes that at. least two
possibly more cf the brlckmakers, de
tached themselves from the crowd
sometime in the morning, slipped
about 600 yards southward and wait
ed In the Brr.f'll clearing for Fowler.
Kane's party found that 5 or 6 men
had squatted there for some lime.
The clenripg was within a few steps
of the pnrrow little traveled road
through which Pent Fowler and Driv
er llagsdale were topass, but so thick
grown were the treWKind bushes that
the spot could not have been seen
feom the road,
None of the robbers had been ap

iss Elkins and Duke of the Ab
ruzzi to Wed In February.
It la Understood That Before Hei
Wedding Miss Elkina Will Hav
Conferred Upon Her the Title 01
Countesc of Teramo Brlde-to-Bi
Will AIo Become a Member of thi
Catholio Church Marriage Portlor
Will Be $5,000,000.
Tarls, Sept. 6. The date for the
weddlM of MJsa Katherlne Elkins and
thg yrrue of the Abruzzi has been
fixed for the latter part of February
of next year, according to reiiortt
In circulation here, which seem to bt
absolutely reliable. It Is stated thai
the date was decided upon after a con
sultation between the prospect iv
bridegroom nnd his brother, the Dukf
of Aosta. The meeting took place at'
Venice on 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, has 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 Elkina Family.
Within 10 days the Duke of the
Abruzzi will pay a visit to the Elkinf
family here and at that time arrange
ments 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 take place at some obscure
town in Italy and the date will be
kept a secret until after the ceremo
nies. It Is understood (hat before hei
marriage Miss Elkins will have con
ferred upon her the title of Countes
of Teramo, In honor of one of the
largest towns In the Abruzzi district.
The statement is made at the same
time that Miss Elkins will become a
menfber of the Roman Catholic
church and already plans for her In
struction In that faith have been
made. Her religious 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
$,",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 elgn 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 detail have been
worked out and agreed by all parties
concerned.
A call was made at the Italian em
bassy here today and the facts as out
lined here were laid before the offi
cials with the request that the reportB
he confirmed or denied. This was met
with the statement that the members
of the ambassy staff were unable to
confirm but that they wonild not deny
(hat the wedding was to take place.
Ill private conversation one official
talked in a tone that, tended strongly
to confirm tho whole matter.
