The Turk- ish government tendered substantial help, but this was construed as an attempt to strengthen the political powerof thswrta in Egypt and was resisted by the other powers intimated. principally Great Brita sin and France. Work was suspended for a time on account of these moplications. but finally the matter was submitted to arbitration and satisfactorily adjusted.

The other wounds hnd evidently been in- .llictod with both the outtitgedgo and the blunt side of an as and (:0ch the body from the right temple down to the knees. Tye men are in culWhW with the crime—Edward Jordan, the assistant janitor, and Lewis .lcrscy, a men of no owutuitlon. The crime was unquestiona- bly ccmmittcd in the lxutcment of the house, as the police discovered there the clothing Worn by the janitor when last seen alive and the blood smcamd an. Signs of a struggle Were plainly visible, show- ing that Barnes must have untde a bani fight for his life. ' - No other motive than that of robbery is ascribed for the murder, for Barnes as far as known had no enemies, and a watch and 830 in mom-y, which he had upon his person when butt mu, are missing. The police are also looking for Annie Maroney, a girl with whom Barnes was at one time very intimate. There is no especial clew loading up to the hiaroney girl. . Chopped the Body Up. After killing Barnes in the basement the munlcrore endeavored to shove the body fnce downward into a packing case 3% foot long, 2 feet wide and lo luc deep. In order to form the hotly in if}: legs had been bent under the trunks, and the right leg had been broken above the knee in order to facilitate the making op- eration, The left hip had been slashed and pounded with the as in order to al- low the bendingof the body. In addition to these wounds there wuss three corner- ed hole in the left temple dealt with aw- ful force and which must have killed the recipient instantly. ‘ The body was hacked in such a manner as to make it appear that the murderers had rollcd it over and over and chopped it just as though it were nothing but a log of wood. In the box with the body were several pieces of carpet which had once belonged to the Pullman Palace Car. coiupany and a bunch of woman's hair, which, however had evidently been pick- ed up with 011ch the pieces of carpet. No importance is attached to its presence The evidence against Jordan is chiefly of his own admission. He called at the morgue to see if he could identify the body, thinking. he sold, that it might be Barnes. whom be had not seen since Tues- day. He at once identified the body as that of Ilarnes. it was conclusively prov- “! that be had been with Barnes later than that and had been several times in the basement of the building since Wednes- day night, when the murder was probably committed. and bed made no report of the blood stains. In a box in his coat pockm. were found several pieces of carpet identical with that found with the bare body. These things decided the police to take him into cus- tody, although bound Jorscy both stoutly deny having any knowledge of the crime. The police arrested Mrs. A. B.

Misuusmus. lice. e.-Aithough the Hayward brothers are in. cells charged with murder in the first degree, it is frankly admitted by the county authorities that they have not yet laid hands on the man who fired the shot which killed Catherine (ling. In fact, while they have made great progress: they are mull ay long way from solving the mystery as to the identity of the actual murderer. it is believed that a warrant is out for the apprehension of the man, but the authori- ties will nelthereiilrm nor deny that they know who he is. From an inside source, however, it is learned that they confident- ly orpwt his amt shortly. The alibls of the Hayward brothers are pltl’fi'ct so far as the actual murdcr is con- cerned. An important admission made by Hayward to the authorities while in the sweat box. which has just leaked out, is that Miss (ling was his mist-roast lie ad mined the liaison, and in tho but breath denied ctnpbntienlly thut he desired her death. it is known. on), that iisyward was very much smitten with the young lady whom he ttuiK‘to the theater on the night of tho tragedy; that ho was, in fact, en- gaged to umrry her, and that her trousscau had been bought and the day set. The authorities believe that this act may fur- lsb the ' additional motive needed to ‘ lain the crime. it has seemed scarcely possible that so horrible t crime should he instigated by Hayward for the ”0,000 insurance money which would be obtain- ed anti which he would have to shore with the others who were in the mat-piracy. ills apprmching marriage and the [10005- city of ending the liaison with Miss (ling may have furnished a stronger motive.
