V overcredulous human being I
Tealousyl
Sometimes it culminates in murder
sometimes in scandalous litigation Often
it iu causeless but in the larger number of
instances it is based upon the shameful
inundation of detected wrongdoing
The strangest and most shocking case
cf jealousy that has come to public notice
dr recent days is that of Sarah Ann Mc
Mullen a girl 17 years of age residing at
t4kron X Y It seems that this young
vsnian whose occupation was that of a
uomestic servant had conceived a wild
itireasoniiig and unreciprocated passion
cfor her employer a man of the name of
Connors This passion took the active and
insane form of jealousy of Mrs Conners
and to show her hatred of her unoffending
mistress the McMulleu girl one day not
long ago beguiled to a trestle bridge Mrs
Owners daughter Ella aged 11 and her
little playmate Delia Brown aged C
It is not known that she had any grudge
against the Brown girl who seems to have
been the chance victim of s crazy womans
freak but be that as it may Miss McMul
3cn after enticing the children to the cen
tral part of the trestle threw them to the
bed of the creek seventy feet below She
ttcnrcturncal to thevillage hade goodby
to her friends and going to another bridge
jumped off with suicidal intent Her con
tact with cold water evidently brought her
to her senses
At any rate she called for help and was
rescued unharmed The Conners girl was
killed by her terrible fall but remarkable

Jury save from shock It is almost super
fluous to add that Miss McMullen is now a
prisoner chargedwith murder
Equally tragic is the case reported from
Kansas City David A Greever was a
wealthy and well known stockman of that
place who had firured of late in various
sensational proceedings chief among
which was a divorce suit instituted by his
vufe
TrifeOne afternoon recently he went to the I
ulotel Andrews and entered the apart
ments occupied by Mr and Mrs Charles
Clifford Mrs Clifford was alone at the
time and as she declares received insult
ing propositions from her visitor While
the two were engaged in excited conversa
tion Mr Clifford entered and attacked
Greever The latter ran into the hall fol I
lowed by the irate husband who fired i
three shots at the fleeing stockman all of
nhich reached their mark and from whose
effects Mr Greever soon afterward died
The Cliffords have been held by a coro
ners jury on a charge of murder and it
will remain for a trial to decide whether
the killing was inspired by jealous wrath
or was the culmination of a futile attempt
ut blackmail Mrs Cliffords story of the
tagic affair as told by her to a reporter
for one of the Kansas City papers has
some dramatic touches about it She
claims that while sitting by the window
reading there was a knock at the door and
i > said Come in Mr Greever to whom
she had been introduced by Mrs Ball the
landlady and whom she haa met seven
times at the table entered and throwing

his hat and overcoat on the lounge stepped
up close to her
Why Mr Greever she exclaimed
whom do you wish to see Mr Clifford or
me
1IlePI want to see you and alone she says
lie replied and added Ive been waiting
to see you for some time
GoLW Y she told himTar my hna
than may come in any minute

I dont care for your husband he re
plied I am as big as you and him put to
gether
Suddenly there was a footstep in the hall
outside and a Imnd tried the door knob
Mrs Clifford believed it was her 4year
old boy and was not undeceived till I
she heard a step on the balcony outside the
open window and the next instant her
husband leaped into the room I
Why she says he exclaimed is this I
the way you treat me when I am away
Belle whos that man
Dont accuse me Charley before you
hear it all she answered This man
came into my room and locked the door
Before she had finished her explanation
Greever had grappled with her husband
who was trying to draw a pistol but the
latter was too quick and fired a shot when
Greever unlocked the door and darted into
the hall closely followed by Clifford pistol
in hand He fired twice more at the flee
ing man while being held by Bartender
Fagin Mrs Clifford sank into a rocker
where she still sat when her husband re
entered and then she explained to him
how Greever came into the room
I was still talking to him she said
when a policeman came and Charley give
him his pistol and surrendered and was
taken away I dont know how bad that
man is shot but I hope he will die he de
serves to for acting toward me as he did i
Why I didnt know him at all only as a
boarder Mrs Ball introduced him to me
in her room and in the two weeks we have i
been here I met him only at meal time I
The scene at Grer i ers deathbed was a
sorrowful one By his side stood the wife
from whom he had been estranged while
he made the following antemortem state
ment to the coroner
This was a blackmailing scheme I
drove up to the Hotel Andrews this after
noon with George heck of the Fish S
Keck Commission company and Fred
fainter We went into the saloon and
ordered some cocktails Then I went up
stairs into the hotel while the two men
waited for me I wanted to see Mrs Ball
the proprietress of the house She was not
in and I there saw Mrs Clifford wife of
the man who shot me I asked Mrs Clif
1 ford where Mrs Ball was and she said
she was out and asked me to come in and
have a seat

MRS HENRIETTA BniXCKERHOFF
I did so We talked for a few minutes
and I then started to go away When she
Insisted upon my staying I said No my
time is up and 1 must go Just then
Clifford stepped into the open window re
volver in hand and said You
throw up your hands I said No I
wont throw up my hands Clifford then
fired the shot which struck me in the back
and fired four other shots I think the
whole thing was a blackmailing scheme
planned by a man named Charles Fagin
and another named Smith I can account
ion it in no other wacr except that they
wished to get money out of me
It now remains as said before for the
courts to decide whether Cliffords mur
derous act was that of an insanely jealous
i husband or of a baffled blackmailer
I I A suit for divorce apparently the result
i of mutual distrust and lack of domestic
i harmony is now pending in Now York
city The plaintiff is Airs Henrietta
Brinckerhoff who seeks her freedom on
statutory grounds Her husband Daniel
D BrinckerhofE has recently filed an an
swer to his wifes sworn charges in which
he accuses her of the most shocking mis
conduct If half the allegations advanced
I by cither party to tbesuit are proven when
the cae comes to trial the affair will ob

Weary of the World
Suicide seems to be temporarily epidemic
in Europe From St Petersburg there
comes a thrilling story of a professor of
medicine who took poison in the very act
of lecturing to his class while in Paris the
daily number of cases of self murder is
said to rango from twelve to eighteen
I Nor is there forthcoming any scientific ex
planation of the phenomenon of the sort in
I which the late Mr Buckle took delight
I In the spring Parisians who are tired of
life mostly drown themselves in the Seine
1 in the autumn they prefer to asphyxiate
themselves by means of charcoal fumes
That is all the statisticians have to tell us
What is the real cause of this alarming
predisposition self murder whether it
is due to religious doubts and difficulties
to compulsory military service or to the
1 wetness of the so called summer of 1890 in
Europeis a question which for the pres
ent remains unanswered

FAMOUS FOR FASTING I
A fan Who Seems to Eo Able to Exist
Without Food I
Will Signor Succi succumb Such hasI I
been the leading question among physiolo
gists in New York city for some time as
the famous faster has been making his test I
of fortylive days without food He did
forty days in London and nearly equal
terms in other foreign cities but promised
fortyfive days abstinence in New York
as Dr Tanner had already done forty days
His method however differs widely
from Tanners for he takes considerable
exercise On the
l y fifteenth day of his I
= fast in Paris he
I
went up the Eiffel
towerand jitBrus
t sels after a week
without food he I
climbed to the top
of the Colonne de
Congres in two
and a half min
t utes He also fen
ces and walks
pjays at single
SIGNOR SDCCI stick smokes etc
On the other hand he takes occasional
doses of an elixir of his own invention
I which the attending physicians say con
I sists of opium licorice and a slight infu
sion of hasheesli They insist that it con
I tains no nourishment but it soothes the
II stomach and prevents that gnawing sen
sation which is so painful in the first days
I of n fast
Signor Succis theory is much the same
I as Tanners viz If you cannot get food
and think you must have it and yield to
the longing for it you will starve in two
t j weeks or less but if you resolutely make
I
j 1 up your mind to do without it you can for
six or seven weeks To this the Signor
adds An electric force generated by my
will keeps me up I absorb electricity
I just as you absorb oxygen When fasting
I can take any quantity of vegetable poi
son and it does me no harm whatever
Sly brain grows much clearer as I fast and
my will power stronger It is a power
like galvanism and I discovered my pos
session of it first by accident I have in
creased it by practice
The appointed physicians attest that
there is no doubt whatever of the reality
of his fast and that he is adding a valuable
contribution to science He is by birth a
Neapolitan a short spare man of dark
complexion with bright eyes and a nerv
ous manner but with strength of will ap
parent in every look and gesture
HIS SKULL WAS CRUSHED
Sensational Suicide of a Train Robber In
Prison
Another o the Rube Burrows gang has
gone suddenly to his peace S C Brock
better known as Joe Jackson jumped
from the highest gallery in the peniten
tiary at Jackson Miss and dashed out
his brains upon the brick floor some fifty
feet below
He left a written confession that he and
Rube Burrows committed the Duck hill
train robbery in December 18S8 and that
he Brock shot Chester Hughes who was
in pursuit of them
He and Rube Smith in conjunction with
Burrows also
committed the
Bucatumna rob 1
bery The confes m
sion also contains
minute details of
many other
crimes the whole
making a very ex F
I citing chapter in
criminal annals 9
He made this con
fession he said ia
the hope that he
would be con
demned at once in
the federal courts
and thus get off JOE JACKSON
with life imprisonment instead of being
tried in the state court for the murder of
Hughes and hanged Later however ho
changed his mind and decided to die
The occurrence was a trying one for the
officials Brock and Rube Smith were be
ing taken out for trial when Brock sud
denly turned and ran up the stairs to the
highest point he could reach crying out to
stand clear below for he was coming Two
officials seized a mattress and held it so
as to catch him thereon if possible while
the others sought to reason with him
I They say this lasted an hour but it was
probably much less He shouted out his
real name and added I would make j 1
I statement if there was a reporter here
He threw down his new derby hat saying
Give that to the convict who keeps the
white mice in his cell he is a very clever
fellow
The officer on the gallery now tried to
reach and seize him but Erock evaded him
and made the leap He turned over as he
fell and just missing the mattress struck
on the back of his head His skull was
crushed to fragments and driven into his
brain yet he breathed occasionally for half
an hour This leaves Rube Smith the last
of the famous trio and he will doubtless
end his days in prison I
Why He Denied His Mother
Philosophers assert that no man is wholly
bad and that the instincts of a gentleman
may linger even in the breast of a cold
blooded assassin The recent death in
Canada of Mrs Sterling mother Charles
M Sterling who was executed at Youngs
town 0 some time ago for the murder of
Lizzie Grombacber has unveiled the facts i
concerning I an incident that occurred short i
ly before the hanging
j Mrs Sterling visited Youngstown to see
the condemned criminal Though he had
j left home when but a lad with a maternal
intuition she recognized him When
brought to his cell Sterling without tho
i quiver of a muscle said
i You are mistaken madam I am not
your son
j She implored him to recognize her but
he refused and she returned home half
convinced that she was mistaken
I To his counsel Sterlingsaid
She is my mother but I could not
I break her heart by telling her that her son
would be hanged Keep it secret until she
dies
diesHer
I Her death caused his attorneyW S An
derson to break the seal of silence
1 It was tho most dramatic scene I ever
witnessed said Mr Anderson I have
seen all the tragedians of the past quarter
of a century but none could reproduce
the scene on that occasion The mother
every line in her face showing the most in
tense suffering and her heart nearly brok
en while the son knowing that the truth
would kill her stood like a statue his face
showing the pallor of death assuring her
that she was mistaken Such intensity of
action was never produced on any stage It
I could not be I
