Gathering- Evidence Against the Husband of the Victim. PROBABLE INSURANCE SWINDLE l! Detective deyer, of Philadelphia, who j Worked the Case Acalnst Holmes, De clares There Is a Strong Case Against the Accused Man. Noumstown. Pa., Oct. 31. Tho ctcrnnl feminine is not lucking In tho Kntser enso. Mysterious inontlon is hoard of n strnngo woman, with tho Inovltublo black oyos, who was nt Kalsor' s store last Monday, when sho was hoard to oxpross an Inten tion of lowing town. Again, on Wodnos :lay night, sho appeared, nnd was observed In tho town whllo tho thrilling talo of tho hlghwnymon was on ovory lip. This tlmo sho was accompanied by n man wearing fashlonablo clothes, ovon to kid gloves, and In noed of a harbor's services. Intorost In this story, pregnant ns It Is with suggestions of mystory, waxed strongor yostordny when tho dark man with tho hlrsuth faco enmo Into sight once nioro. At tho tlmo Kaiser was closotod in tho lmrgoss' ofllco with Dotcctlvo Geyer, of Philadelphia. During n pause In the searching Inquisition tho neensod husband glanced out tho window. As ho did so tho dark man passed, perhaps casually. Instantly u tromor seized tho prisoner, and ho cntroatod tho dotootlvo to screen him from tho oyos of tho man outside. "Ho Is my worst onomy," ho doclared. Tho dotcctlvo replied that tho man re ferred to hadongaged n lawyer for Kaiser, Indicating 11 friendly feeling for him, but Kaiser reltemtod, with feeling, that ho did not want to see him. Thoso Incidents strengthen tho bcllof of tho authorities that an insurance swindle, with Mrs. Kalsor's llfo as tho forfeit, had been contemplated, nnd that tho slrango man and woman wero conspirators with Kaiser. It has boon loarnod that llvo pollclos had been Issuod to Kalsor nnd his wife. Two of thoso wero for ?5,000 each, 0110 on each life, tho sum total of either to go to tho survivor in enso of thodonthjof one. Thon thoro was a joint policy of $5,000, with a liko agreement, and two other sopnrato pollclos for ifM each. All those, It Is said, wero takon out last sum mer, and fsl Is the nggrogato amount of premiums thus far paid In. On two of thorn $51 would have become duo noxt month. As It Is known that Kaiser Is not In a good financial condition, tho detoe tlvos boliovo that ho meant to close out the transaction by putting his wifo out of tho way. Anotlfer strnngo fact has come to light. Two months ago tho couple made a joint will, under an arrangeniont similar to that In tho pollclos, hut thoro wasnclauso Inserted at Kaiser's suggestion, It Is said, to tho effect that their bodies should bo cremated. Tho police Intimate that Kaiser had Intended to profit by this arrango ment by tho uso of poison, but that his pecuniary embarrassment coming upon hlnijho nsod tho medium of lend and con cocted tho highwaymen story. Yesterday's Incidonts, apart from tho eplsodo of tho dark man, wero a partial hearing of tho caso by tho coroner and an autopsy on tho woman's body. As a re sult of the hearing Kalsor was committed to prison without bail, ponding a furthor Investigation. The chlof of polico was tho only witness, nnd his testimony was con fined largoly to tho finding of tho watch, pockotbook and pistol on Thursday. Tho autopsy was to do.tormlno In partic ular a vital point whothor tho shot which sent tho bullot crashing through tho young woman's brain was fired on n levol with head or from a point below her. This is to dotermlno tho strength of tho theory t(.'at Kaiser fired it whllo sitting hosldo ISs wlfo In tho carriage, or whothor It was fired by ono of tho vnpory footpads, stand ing on tho ground. So W s could ho learned, tho evidence adduced leauod to the former supposition. Detective Geyer, ho of Holmes fame, Is using some of tho methods which brought such success in that celebrated caso. From tho notorious multl-murdoror Goyor ac cumulated a weird collodion of state ments, Including n variety of confessions, nnd In each of thoso hofouud a little truth which pieced out a damaging narrative to to tho arch confessor. Yesterday tho do tootlvo socurcd a signed gtatemont from Kaiser, but he will not Indicate tho na ture of Its contonts, although ho said thoro Is a strong caso against tho accused man, according to his belief.

Gonornls Palmer 1 nnd Duekner nrrlvod hero yesterday 011 their trip through Missouri, nnd wero met at tho dopot by ouO people It proved an unwelcome greeting thoy received, and the party was compoltod to pull out without accomplishing anything. A crowd of young men camo up with n Hrynti banner and pushed It under tho nosos of tho generals. Several efforts to speak wero interrupted by cries of derision, many In the crowd yelling: "Look at tho McKlnley aid so ciety." Stung nt this last fling, General Uucknor pointed at tho banner and said: "It 1110 toll you who nnd what consti tuted tho MoKlnloy aid society. In lboi, on n sound money platform, wo olected Grover Clovolaud, but tho last eloctionsln Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky nnd Ohio wero disastrous because you shoutors, with your horoslos, drovo tho party Into failure and contempt." Tho train had to pull out to get away from tho baunor enr riors. At Fayotto Gonorals Palmer and IJuck ner received ovon worso treatmont than at Pris, and for n tlmo vloloneo was threat ened the candidates. No sooner hnd tho two gonorals omorged upon tho car plat form than a Uryan baunor, lienrlngtho Inscription "Fnyetto Domocrntio Club," was thrust Into Genornl Palmor's faro by It bonrer. A citizen nnmod Williams tried to urgo peace.nnd the gold mon rnlllod nnd rnshed the Uryan banner back. A man tried to punch Goneral Uuoknor with a ilagpolo, and Williams solzed it and tho crowd rushed 11 pun him and began lieat' lng him. Tho rlotors then tried to get nt the gen erals nnd strike them with their banners. Soorosof men fought bitterly around tho car end. Women wero pushed nbout and knooked down, and many blows wore ex changed. An old farmor cllmbod on to the rear ond of thocar and shouted: "You are carrying Missouri for McKinloy." Ho was pullod down by the crowd. After flvo minutes of fighting, sorenmlng and toot lug horns the train pulled out without the candidates even attempting to inako a speech. Most of tho rioters wore young men, and bolongod to tho well to do olo incut.

THE QUESTION CAUSES A SUIT I A Judgment Note Disputed on a CUlm of Foigery and Alleged Breaking of a Nuptial Contraot Made by Proxy. Development In the Case. A novel caso with a young woman bearing the euphonious n.uno of Antonlna as the in- noicnt cause of the lltlcatlon. uas the sub ject of Inquiry at tho olllco of M. M. Iliirkc. l.sq., tills morning. The object of the ses sion was to tako testimony for submission to court on a motion to open judgment and al low the defendant to put in a defense. 1 lie case is ono in which Joseph Wlsnckls Is plalntlir and Jiweph Kursiwlci! defendant. A judgment note for $50 was entored by Wisockis and Kursiwicz wants it set aside on the grounds, first, that the signature to the unto is a forgery; and, second, that the money alleged to have lieen loaned was a gift funning part of a nuptial contract. 1'.. W. Shoemaker, I., aiqioarod for the plain till' mid M. M. llurkc, 1., fur the defen dant. The defense Is most unique. Kursiwicz, the defendant, sayslio never signed the note tli.it has been recorded against him and never borrowed any money from Wisockis, the plaintiff. On (be contrary bo alleges that Wlsnckls camo to hoard at his house and, learning that tho defendant's wife had a sister in Poland, expressed a desire to bring her to this country so that be might' marry hoi. It was in pursuance of this desire, it Is alleged, that Wisockis gave Mrs. Kursiwicz ISO and told her to send to the old country for her sister. In due time the young woman arrived. She is alniiit 30 years of age. Nothing bus been developed by tho testi mony bearing upon bur personal attrac tions. Wlsnckls continued to llvo at the Kursiwicz bouse for flvo mouths alter the young woman's arrival and It is said that during that tlmo it was only a question of fixing the date for tlio marriage. Hut he suddenly changed his mind, left tho Kursiwicz house and inado bis demand for the fifty dollars. The next hoard from him, the defendant alleges, was through tho SberllV, who called to collect tho judg ment, and tho fair Antouin i was loft without consolation, or hope. On bis examination this morning Wisockis declared tiiat tho JBO was a cash hmn to Mrs. Kursiwicz to bring Antonlna to this country. He did not want to marry the latter because he did not think his time to get married had arrived. He gave his present age as 2:1 years. GENUINE SNAPPER S0tP.
