Flings Her in the River.

HE IS CAUGHT All D OWNS UP

 

He Procured the Girl for Adoption, but
Brought Her Into the \Voods and
Strangled and Stripped Her and
Then Tried to Hide ins Crime.

DIMONDALE, Mich, Feb. 4.—The pretty
young girl who was found dead, stark
naked, in Grand River last Friday night,
and whose face has ,since been viewed by
hundreds of curious people, turns outta
be a ward of the state public school at
Goldwater. The story of how she was ob-
t-ained by a gray haired old man, whose
subsequent. movements with her are now
nearly all clearly known, and who was
taken into custody Tuesday, reads like
chapters from an ultra-sensational novel
and shows him guilty of her murder and
possessed of'a mind absolutely and incom-
prehensibly fiendish.

On last \Vednesday a thin faced, gray
haired and bearded man about fifty years
old, with the appearance of'a farmer, called
at the state inblic school at Goldwater
and asked C. F. N ewkirk for a young girl
for adoption. He gave his name as E.
Hendershot, of Parma, Jackson county, and
said he had a wife and two children at home.

He Gets the Child.

Superintendent N ewkirk was not favor-

ably impressed with his appearance, and

immediately ordered Edward Naylor, coulr ‘

ty agent, Jackson county, to investigate
Hendershot’s story and wire him reason
why the child should not go.

On receiving no answer from Taylor,

Hendershot’s subsequent statements ap—_

pearing reasonable, Nelly Griffin, 12 years
old, a girl who had been a pupil in the
school for three years, was regularly adopt-
ed by the old man and the two left school
together last \Vednesday night. When the
superintendent heard of the murder at
Dimondale he secured a description of the
victim. lt tallied so well with that of his
late ward that he went to Dimondale and
identified the body.
The Villain Caught.

As soon as the girl was identified Super-
intendent Newkirk gave a detailed descrip—
tion of the man who adopted her, and of-
ficers started out to find him. Detective
Bates, of Lansing, immediately sought
Conductor Shipman and Brakeman Moul-
ton, of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern railroad, who were in charge of
a train which came north from J onesville
last Thursday night, and from which an
old man and a girl were seen to alight here
later in the evening. The hunt for the
man was finally successful. He 'as found
at the home of C. S. Harrison, for whom
'he has worked as a farm hand for two
years.

XVhen arrested he stoutly denied the
crime, and said he knew nothing of it. He
admitted, however, that he went to Jones-
ville on Tuesday and returned on ‘Vednes—
day. \Vhen seen subsequently by Super-
intendent Newkirk he was positively iden-
tified as the man who took the girl from
the school.

Confessed His Brutishness.

He is now locked up in Charlotte jail.
His real name proves to be H. C. Canfield.
He is 51 years old, and separated from his
wife several years ago in Barry county,
whence he came to work for Harrison. In
jail Canfield broke down and confessed the
crime.

 

He said that he had but one object in l

procuring the girl from the state school.
He led her to Diamondale and into woods,

_ and when she cried he threw her down and g

strangled her to death.

clothes under a barn. He threw the body
into the river a short distance from the
place where. found. He says he can give no
reason for killing her, save that he must
have been insane. Public feeling runs

They “'ant the Capitol.

A LTox. 111s. Feb. 4.—VV. H. Platz has
filed a claim for Edward Hugo, Mrs. P. W.
Paul and Mrs. Price, of this city, and O.
L. Hugo, of Peoria, Ills., wherein these
persons claim ownership to part of the
land on which the Capitol at \Vashington

The “lots” are fifty acres in size, and in
the warrant are described as “lying to the
west of Fort Cumberland, Allegheny coun-
ty, Md.” The claim has been filed in the
land office at ‘Washington.

Music at the \Vorld’s Fair.

CHICAGO, Feb. 41—Mr. \Villiam Stein-
way, of New York, is opposed to placing
the \Vorld’s fair music hall on the Lake
Front. He fears that the hundred or
more trains passing daily would utterly
, defeat the high purpose that the hall is ex—
pected to serve. He made known this
opinion yesterday to the buildings and
grounds committee. He urged further
that to make the music a great attraction
Rubinstein or some other equally famous
musician from Europe should be secured
as conductor, and should take up his resi-
dence in this country for at least a year.

an imposing one, and crowds of people
lined the streets along the route.

BROTHERS AND THIEVES.
Three Young Mien Arrested After Steal-
ing $10,000 “forth of Jewelry.

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.~Three Engmark broth-
ers, the oldest not yet 23 years of age, have
been arrested for systematically robbing
two wholesale jewelry houses of thousands
of dollars’ worth of diamonds,watches, etc.
The "young men are respectably connected,
and their arrest created somewhat of a sen-
sation among their friends. Their plan was
very simple. The two younger brothers,”
E. J. and E. C. Engmark, were employed
in two different wholesale jewelry houses.
“Then filling orders they would slip goods
into their pockets. The plunder would be
turned over- to the elder brother, George,
who disposed of it to tradesmen in different
divisions of the city. . .

The customers have never. suspected the
goods were stolen, as Engmark sold them

 

close to the regular figure.' The propri~
etors of the jewelry houses have for
some time noticed the mysterious disap—
pearance of goods, and detectives were
working on the case. Suspicion was final-
ly directed toward one of the Engmark
boys, who, when asked the time by his em-
ployer, pulled from his pocket 3. new
watch which he hurriedly slipped back.

The gentleman said nothing, but noti-
fied the detectives, who watched the
brothers, and arrested George as he was
leaving the house to dispose of the accu-
mulations of last week to dealers. He
told the story to the officers, and the other
boys were soon In the station. The aggre-
gate of their stealings is thought to be at
least $10,000.

Their Sin Found Them Out.

WAPAKOXETA, 0., Feb. 4.—The aristo-
cratic village of Buckland is in the midst
of the biggest sensation in its history.

They had the prettiest home in town, and
gave the most elaborate dinners, But
Sunday the storm came. The woman is in
the lock up and the man is in hiding.
The woman was arrested at a church so-
cial, but Schertzen got away. The arrest

A VERY Hill OUTLOOK

Connecticut’s Legislative
Have Not Yet Rolled By.

A TRADE IS ON THE CARPET.

A Report That the Republicans Are
“’illing to Exchange at Constitu-
tional Convention for a Gov-
ernor or an Inquiry.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. 3.-—Tuesday,
at 1 o’clock p. m., is the time fixed for a
vote in the house at Hartford on the pas-
sage of the resolution asking the senate to
join the house in making a fresh inquiry
as to the vote cast for state officers. While
there are rumors that the house Republi-
cans may not vote solidly for the resolu-
tion, their unanimity thus far does not
sustain any such idea.

There are two re wan-ts as to the way the
senate will receive the proposition. One
report is that the senate, While rejecting
it, will append a statement pointing out
the impossibility of making any inquiry of
the large scope suggested, and also citing
the present broil as evidence that the only
wise course is for the legislature to stand
on the face of the returns. The other re
port is that the senate will reject the prop-
osition curtly without any statement or
prolonged debate. Democratic authority
here of a high character could be quoted to
sustain the latter assertion.

A Trade on the Carpet.

After the resolution is rejected by the

senate it seems to be generally conceded

that the house will be forced to declare the”

election of Staub as comptroller. Many
Republicans, and at least two of the Re-
publican state papers, say that he must be

given his office. The action of the house on,

the other Democratic minor Offices is much
more doubtful.

The report that some of the Republicans
will try to trade a constitutional conven-
tion for a governor, or for an inquiry, is
partly confirmed, and Lynde Harrison is
said to be the author of the plan. Obsta-
cles to it, however, are the bad logic of
such an arrangement, the time required
for and uncertain 1’esults of an inquiry,
and the difficulty of making timid repre
sent-atives from the small towns accept it
—a difficulty which is not confined to the
Republican members.

The last attempt to get a. constitutional
convention in the state was in 1313. when
ex-Governor Henry B. Harrison‘s scheme
was voted down—110 to 69. Public senti-

ment on the subject has, however, greatly.

changed since then, and the existing dis-
putc gives the movement considerable
force. '

A Clouded Outlook.

As a. whole the outlook now is not more
favorable than it was last- week, when
things at the Capitol were extended to
reach a crisis which the long debate in the
house has temporarily postponed.

Anew rumor is that the house, in case
the senate refuses to meet it, will seat
Staub and adjourn sine die. This would
necessarily cut off all appropriations after
the 1st of next July, not mentioning the
trouble that Staub himself can make as
comptroller of the state finances.

 

Fur Seals in lllyriads.
SEATTLE, “721511., Feb. 3.—.lz:-l)leS G.

| Swan, of Port Townsend, has obtained and

published affidavits of numerous sealers

‘ that fur seals are born all along the coast,

and that the pups can swim as soon as
born. If this can be proven it is said it
will change the whole Behring sea contro-
versy, as it is claimed now that fur seals
breed only on the Pribyloff islands, and
that the species would be exterminated if
the hunters were not excluded from the
Behring sea. Judge Swan offers to prove
the truth of his statement to congress or a
federal commission. Fur seals were never
so abundant at Cape Flatt-cry as now.
They are found in myriads, and the In-
dians are killing them by huntlreds.‘

THE TROUBLE IN CHILI.

Another Marine Engagement in Which
the Insurgents Are Defeated.

BUENOS AYRES, Feb. 3.—Reports have
reachedhere Of another engagement ofi
Ancud, capital of the island of Chiloe, in
the Chiloe archipelago. The battle was
fought between a. government man-of—war
and an insurgent war vessel. It resulted

- in the defeat of the insurgents.

It is supposed that the vessels engaged
were the two ships previously referred to
as the rebel vessel which landed the in-
surgent marines at Ancud and the gov-
ernment ship'which tried to land troops at
that port under the disguise of hoisting the
British flag.

chloroformed handkerchief over her face,
cut her throat with a jackknife and fled.
He left anote saying that the deed was
done by “Jack the Ripper.” The girl final—
ly came to and called for assistance. She
thinks the assault was committed by a
young man whom she met at'a dance in

It is thought she will recover. As no at—
tempt at outrage was made the motive
for the crime is a mystery.

of the great battlefields and by way of
the national capitol.

Ample opportunity will be afforded
in Washington for the cxcursionists to
inspect the city, visit Congress, etc.,
and for sight seeing in Atlanta, Bir-
mingham, and Anniston.

The train will be an exact counter-
part of the New York and Chicago
“Limited,” run on the Pennsylvania
and New York Central railroads, and
will be in charge of representatives of
each of the three lines of roads over
which the train will pass.

The number of excursionists will be
limited to one hundred, and applica—
tions for sleeper accommodations will
be booked in the order received. The
special train will be the finest equipped
and most magnificent that can be pro-
cured in America, and it is intended to
make the excursion one select in every
particular, and no expense will be
Spar-ed to make the trip a delightful
one to all who shall accompany it.

The rate for this excursion has been
made at $375 per passenger, which in—
cludes railroad fare, sleeping car, car-
riage drives, meals, and every expense
for the entire trip. Tickets will be is-
sued to the excursionists on leaving
Boston, with proper coupons entitling
them to all expense during the ten
days.

The rate from New York city will be
$51ess than from Boston, or $7 , and
passengers can join excursion at any
of the points named in the itinerary.

Those who desire to accompany this
excursion should write or call at the
Boston office of this company (of (inc-c,

where diagrams are on file and sleep-.

ing accommodations can be secured.

As the number that can be accommo—
dated on this trip is confined to one
hundred, a deposit of $15 will be re-
quired at the time of the application
and the assignment of berths. The
balance payable at the time of leaving
Boston or New York when tickets with
coupons attached, covering the entire
expense of the trip, will be delivered to
each of the excursionists.

Ladies are especially invited, and a
considerable number have already sig-
nified their intention of going.

Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, president
of the company, will accompany the
excursion, it being his first'visit south
of Richmond since the war, and many
of the other officers and directors of
the company will be among the num-
ber. Hon. James W. Hyatt, Treasurer
of the company, also expects to go.

It is intended to make the excursion
a. select and delightful one in every
particular, and no pains or expense will
be spared by the company to make it a
trip long to be remembered by those
who accompany it, and it will afford the
best opportunity of the year for seeing
the growth of the new South, in a way
that will not be fatiguing, but a con-
tinual round of pleasant surprises from
time of leaving until the return, com-
pleting a trip of nearly 4,000 miles
through the heart of the New South in
a palatial train, at an expense of 5237 per
day, per passenger.

Applications for sleeping accommo-
dations should be made, enclosing $15,
as soon as possible to the Boston office
of the company, as the number will
probably be filled in a very short time,
and under the terms by which the spec-

ial limited train is chartered, the num-'

ber' must be confined strictly to one

hundred.‘ '
