SANTA ANA, May 12.—With arms and head swathed In bandages cov ering burns he received last Friday while struggling with his wife, Mrs. lOthel F. Skelly, when she rushed from nor home at Westminster, a mass of Humes, Frank F. Skelly was arVestß* this afternoon, pending investigation of the death of the woman. The arrest fol lowed sensational testimony given by the dead woman's mother, Mrs. T. J. Lewll of 646 Birch street, Santa Ana, at the coroner's Inquist this morning In which she said that her daughter, while dying, told her that her hus band, Frank Skelly, had thrown gaso line over her last Friday morning and then sot fire to It. The dying woman is alleged to have nald that her hus band committed the deed after threat ening to kill her the night before. Mrs. I^'wls declared that her daughter told her all this a short time after she had received her burns but had pledged her to secrecy. The mother said she had guarded her secret even from her own husband up to tho moment that ■ha took the witness stand at the In quest, but that she could keep it no longer. She repeated what she alleged were the words of her dying daughter charging Skelly with being directly iesi«>nsible for her death. Mrs. Lewis, however, was not the first to bring the allegations of mur der to the attention of the authorities. She declared her daughter begged her to keep it secret for the sake of the children. But rumors circulating among the neighbors brought about the Inquiry which resulted In the arrest of Skelly. Neighbors who testified this after noon asserted that they saw Mrs. Skelly rush out into the yard of her home, with her clothing nblaze and crying, "Why did you do it. Frank? You have murdered me. Why didn't -you use a pistol instead <<( gasoline?" Skelly, put on the witness stand be fore the coroner's jury, swore that he heard his wifo scream on Friday morning ns he was coming from his bedroom, and met her coming from the pantry, ull on fire. He slezed her and tried to smother the flames with her . skirts, but fulling, held her with one hand and with the other tried to reach water in a near-by pail to throw over her. She broke from him and ran screaming into the yard where he fol lowed her, after polng to the well and failing to find a bucket there. With a quilt,'thrown to him by someone, he smothered the flumes. After helping to carry her In the house and as he was standing by her bed, she said to Mm: "Frank, why did you do It?" He told her that he had not done It. He believed slip thought he was trying to throw gasoline on her when he was attempting to throw water from the pall over her burning clothes. The verdict of the coroner's Jury was that Mrs. Ethel Bkelly came to her death by shock and thermic poi soning, as a result of gasoline burns sustained In a manner unknown to the jury, and we recommend that F. F. Skelly be hold pending further In vestigation by the stnte." 'FINE!' SAY SOCIETY GIRLS AFTER FASTING THREE DAYS 'Never Felt Better,' They Declare -and Shift to Milk GARDEN CITY. N. V..

Bussell, aged 2i, son of C. B. Bussell, millionaire land Owner of this city. Uonner died at the hospital after declaring that he had never suen Bussell before he en tered the saloon and opened fire with a rille. After shooting Bonner. Bussell en countered a police officer as he left the place, and was slightly wounded before he was captured. Busxell tired five shots at Bonner, four of which took effect. Bonner emptied his revolver at his assailant but failed to hit him. The elder Uussell is one of the richest men in Seattle, and Wallace is his on ly child. The father said today that he had been dreading a violent act by the young man, and had been plan ning to send him to central Oregon in two weeks, where he hoped rough, out-door life would improve his men tal condition. Mr. Bussell continued: "For some time my son's mind has dwelt on the vice and crime to be found in cities, and he has read every scrap of information furnished by the magazines. He has recently associat ed himself 'with a secret society whose purpose is to rid Seattle of vice. He has given hundreds of dollars to this society, and promised thousands more. He has been very bitter toward the present city administration. "I have no doubt that it was this mania against vice that sent him down to that place last night, and Into all this trouble. He took It upon himself to raid a gambling resort, single-hand ed, and was beside himself when he started shooting. "Wallace came home last night and his mother heard him go down stairs at 2 o'clock. She did not hear him leave the house, and supposed that he had returned to bed. It was at that time that he took my rifle and car tridge belt and set out on his mis sion." Young Bussell's attention seems to have been directed to the Monte Carlo saloon by a raid on the place last week, when a number of men found gambling were arrested.
