History of the Clan. ‘
On Feb. :51 last the body of a young man
was found in the Princeton swamp with
two bullet wounds in the head. He had
been shot down from behind. The body
was dressed in English tweed and the
undergarments were of finest texture. At
first there seemed to be no clcw to his iden-
tity. The plans of murder were so ingeni-
ously laid and so skillfully executed that.
but for one slight circumstance identifica-
tion would have been nearly impossible.
The murderer had partly undressed his
victim and neatly cut from his clothing
the name of the wearer, and than after
rifting the pockets of their contents, he
quietly deported, thinking he had destroyed
everything that could be used to identify
the friendlcss and unknown young man
whom he had enticed to this lonely spot
and shot down in cold blood. lint when
the victim fell his cigar case flew from his
breast pocket and lodged in the snow, half
under it small dead sapling, whose branch-
es were spread over the ground. The mur-
derer orcrlrxsked this silent witness and it
was found by the detemives. On it was the
name “F. ('. llcuu‘ell.“ Following up this
clew the officers arrested Birchall nt Ni-

A Motive for the Murder.

that it was thrrhriil’s scheme to send type-
written lettcra to ('ol. lleuwcll as coming
from his son, and to bleed the father.
The Fir-it \"itnou Called.
William McDonald was the first witness.
McDonald said that he became acquainted
with liirclittil when the latter came to him
asaftirm pupil from England. Birchall
was then known as F. A. Somerset. He
stopped at McDonald's form one day, then
went to Woodstock, saying that he was
not brought tip to such Work. McDonald
admitted that he was agent at Woodstock
for Ford, Rathbun ab (30., England, who
sent pupils to place on farms, the farmer
getting $125 bonus and the agent $35; the
farmer receiving half that amount at the
end of the first month thatapupil was
satisfied and the balance (it the end of six
,monthii. McDonald contradicted himself
a good deal. He admitted that Ford,
Rothbuu 5: Co. wrote that Birchall com-
plained that McDonald was swindling En-
glish farm pupils. He said that Birchall
borrowed from him considerable money
and repaid all but 830.
y Young Policy Tonia“.
Douglass Raymond Policy, a young En-
glishman, who acwmpauied the Blrchallo
Benwell party to this country. followed
He told of his arrangements with Birchall
to enter into farming partnership in Can-
ada and mid that. Birchall told him he had
alarm uezir Niagara Falls of 200 acres:
lived in gmel English style; kept English

ofthe rambles lighted by electricity, also
speaking of his overseer as a man named

claimed to be :1 form pupil. Succeeding
so well, he bought out the farm.

not understand forming. and he sent him
to two or three other addresses liecauso he
had received so much money. Birchnll
avoided taking Policy to the farm, giving
various ermine-s. l’eiley finally taxed him
with false pretenses, and got the answer
that Birehull expected :1 draft from Eng-

Moos, Slept. 23.-'1'ho fiasco with re-
gardtothe McAuliife—Siavln fight seems
to be the result of an ingenious scheme on
tbepart of F. Crichton Temple, “manag-
ing director" of the Ormonde club, to make
allttie money. it is probable, however,
owing totho efforts of Richard K. Fox,
that the fight will come off in any event.
Fox said last night that he would give
can, and that. Lord Lorisdale would in all
probability offer the. some amount to have
the match come off in France or Belgium
with bare knuckles in case Police Justice
Partridge refuses to allow the affair at the
Orinondc club.
“in case Innsdnle refuses to put up half
the stakes," said Fox, “I will offer the en-
tire £1,000. This match has got to be
fought and I am surechuiiffc will win."
Temple’s Little Scheme. ..
Temple's scheme seems to bethls.‘ He
has sold no tickets to the fight at prices
varying from £3!) to £10, but all persons
who have bought tickets have been com-
pelled to become members of the club.
The price of subscription to the clubis
three guineas. Temple will refund the
purchase money to all ticket holders, but
he will retain three gtiiueiu; from each one
as membership subscription, so that the
Omtondc club will be in about $3,000 on
the scheme and will also have the £1,000 it
offered to the contestants.
Slnrin Blamed at First.
The warrants for the arrest of McAulifi‘e
and Sinviu were issued on Saturday with
Temple's knowledge, be having been in
communication with Inspector Chisholm
all the time the men were training.
Temple said nothing about it, but con-
tinued to sell tickets and accept member-
ship subscriptions until the arrest of Mo
Aulifl'e and Sittvin was published. It mm
at first thought by English sporting men
yesterday afternoon that Slavin and his
backers had contrived at the arrest and
stoppage of the light, as it was known he
had a convivul time with a lot of friends
at his training quarters in Dot‘ercourt
Sunday night. The story of Temple‘s
relations with the police has put a differ-
ent aspect on the case.
The Arrests.
McAuliflc was arrested in his lodgings
in York road in the afternoon, and Stavin
at. the Liverpool station upon his arrival
front Doverwurl.
They were both taken to the Lambetb
police court, followed by a tremendous
crowd. The crush was so great at the doors
of the court that lit-.‘tuiill'e was separated
from the officers who had him in charge,
and was put out of the building by police—
men who did not know who he W.” Both
men arevery angry oier the matter and
blame 'lemple entirely for the police inter-
forence It is possible that Justice Part-
ridge may allow the fight to go on, in which
case the Our-oxide club will be made to inl-
flll its contract. The men were to have
fought with The Police Gazette standard
gloves, weighing two ounces, in a twenty
foot ring, McAuliffc at 210 pounds and
Slarin at 15? pounds.
Both men have given bonds at £22,000
each to appear in court this afternoon for
examination on the chargcof conspiring to
commit a breach of the peace.
They Will Fight Just the Same.
