Thr following wireless mow' from
Captain Kendall, of the Montrose, was
picked up by the wireless station here
to-day;
"Suspect* did not sleep well last ,
night Both seem to he haggard and ;
worried to-day The woman Is not
** nervous as the man and apparently
does not experience the same degree
of terror.”
According to further messages from
Captain Kendall, the only person* on
board the Montrose who are aware of
the suspected Identity of "Robinson
and son” are Captain Kendall, the first
Officer. the Wireless operator and two
deck stewards, who constantly watch
the suspects.
Captain Kendall declares that he and
the first officer discussed ihe afTnVr
for a long time and decided not to
make an arrest. Under the lnw of
nations, the captain Is supreme Judge
at s«.a and could have clamped the
pair In Irons, hut Captain Kendall
decided It would he better to keep
silent and cultivate the friendship of
"Robinson and son.”
Kendall wire* that he did so and
scour d a great deal of valuable In

man went and received the tongue
lashing of his life from that Irate gen- j
tleman.
Condemnation proceedings went '
merrily on. and tinally Mr. Sands was
notified that he would be given one
last chance to preserve his property.
The strange hodgepodge communica
tion is the result.
An unusual feature of the sormon
hymn-blldloal combination is that,
studied carefully, every one of the
various passages Is evidently Intend
ed as an answer to some particular
statement made by Mr. lleck.
For Instance, regarding the request
that he appear before the local au
thorities to testify. Mr. Sands quotes:
/
"I can hut perish if 1 go;
I am resolved tAtry,
For if I stay away n know
I must forever die."
Again, in satirical response to the
warnings made by Mr. Heck that the
law must he observed and that Mr
8ands might live to regret his Indlffer 1
ence, there is a little card, beautifully I
decorated with sprays of forget-me-'
nots.a nd the following quotation:
"Fear not. I am he that llveth
and was dead; and behold, I am alive!
for evermore, amen, and have the
key* of Hell and Death."
In answer to Mr..Heck's description I
of the ramshackle condition of the
buildings In question, Mr. Sands sends
the following quotations from the
sermon by Dr. Charles H. Spurgeon: ,
"Tf anyone gave me an estate. 1 <
certainly should not commence raising
questions as to the title.
“What can be the use of my Invent- ,
trig reasons why l should hold my own
house or posses any other piece of
property enjoyed by me?
"How unprofitable Is the diligence i
which busies itself In finding out rea
sons why faith In our cause should not
be saving?”
All these and various other quota- |
tions were in the envelope and fin- I
ally, to cap the climax, there was a
miniature tin-plate, which looks very
much as If It might once have seen
service as the top of a vegetable can.
On this plate the following quotattlon ;
from Isaiah 1; 18 Is carefully en
graved :
“Though your sins be as srarlet, they •
shall be ns white as now; though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as !
wool."
I’porf -first opening this most un- 1
usual letter Inspector Peck was In- :
dined to be angry. Dater, however, he
smifbil.
“I suppose old Mr. Sands Is pretty
well pleased with himself for that lit- i
tie stunt," said he. "All right. If he
Is satisfied. I’m sure I am. You see, by
Saturday evening City Attorney Pol- j
lard will have drawn up the necessary
papers which will empower me to raze
those three buildings of Mr. Sands to
the very ground. Take my word for :
It. too. this department will do the
Job thoroughly Mr. Sands may have
a keen sense of humor. If he wants I
to cuddle at a cost of three buildings |
per cuddle, why all right."
Mr. Beck Is seriously contemplating
having the cards and quotations fram- i
'#1 and hung on the walls of his pri
vate office.

flashing through the streets of the

his victims and shot them down as

Apparently he was determined to
slay every person who had ofTended
him.
It was nearly tw'o hours after
Restelll's mad search lor slaughter be
fore any organised pursuit was taken
up, but from that time all during the
night, bodies of men have been hunt

County Democratic Committee
Names Former Judges to
Servo. Again.
! ELECT NEW CHAIRMAN.
; H. M. Fleet, of Hungary Prrrinct:
Now in Chair—Still Three
Vacancies in Body.
At a full meeting of the county
Democratic committee held at noon
Saturday, a new chairman wm elect-i
, ed, the Judges for the coming primary
were named and aeveral new mem- i
i bora were elected to the committee. |
Mr. Chariot N. Williams, who has
been chairman of the committee for
some time, tendered his resignation,
and Mr. H. M. Fleet, member from
Hungary precinct, waa unanimously
elected the new chairman.
Old Judge* to Serve.
The principal business before the
committee was the appointment of
' Judges to serve at the primary to be
held on August % it was determined
to follow the usual custom of allow- ]
ing the candidates to name their (
i choices for the Judges, and the list !
: of Judges who last served was read
| by the secretary.
Colonel Lamb, one of the candi
dates. was not present, and Colonel
Ashby Wickham, the other candidate,
stated that the Judges who last served
were very satisfactory to him, and
j that ho could not offer more satlsfac- I
I tory men for the positions. He stated
that whatever vacancies there were
i could best be filled by the commit
tee, and that he would be perfectly |
satisfied with any parties they might]
' name.
The absence of Colonel Umb caus
1 ed considerable confusion, as It was
i desired that he have a voice In the
j choice of the Judges. The secretary,
however, stated that he had written
to both candidates, at the same time
| advising them of the meeting, and
I that Mr. Umb evidently received his
letter. Chairman Fleet stated that he
bad seen Mr. Umb In person and ad
i vised him of the meeting.
Mion oi runus.
! The committee Is short of funds to
i conduct the primary, and the district
j committee is to be petitioned for aid.
The secretary presented a check sinn
ed by the treasurer of the district
committee in the sum of $158 to cover
the expenses of the primary.
it was explained that the commit
tee had $210 for the last primary,
and that $158 would not be nearly
enough. Each of the three Judges at !
each precinct receives $2; $2 is paid
for each voting place and $1 Is paid
each way for carrying the ballots.
This makes an expense of $10 for
each precinct, and for the sixteen pre
cincts amount to $180. Other expenses
I such as postage for notifying the
I judges of their appointment and their
j replies and other incidentals, bring
I the expenses up to about $200.
The secretary was directed to send
an itemized statement of probable ex- I
penses to the district committee and
ask for more funds to Insure the suc
cessful conduct of the primary.
»w MtsnhTS Elected.

CINCINNATI. JViy 30.—“He's a{

This was the closing epithet of a
severe arraignment of the veracity
and dependability of United States
Senator Theodore Burton by George

Interested discussion here to-day.
Cox was discussing the State con
vention and Its results, according to a
local paper, and It was quite evident
that the cause of Ws peevishness was j
not merely the sting of defeat. It
seemed a little deeper.
"I enjoyed myself very much; met
a great many of my old friends and
think I made some new onea," said
Cox, “but of all the treacherous men
I have met In my life Theodore Bur
ton Is the worst.’’
"From personal knowledge and ex

that he Is devoid of principle and
places no values whatever upon the
truth. He may know the meaning of
the word truth, but I doubt it.”
Cox refused to go further In ex

lawn opposite the fashionable Ger
mantown cricket club grounds at
Manhelm to-day.
Finger marks plainly Imprinted
upon her throat and her clothing torn, i
every Indication points to her having
been strangled while defending her
self against an attack.
Cbmpletely baffled, the police, who 1
have ha da rlage force of detectives
at work, at noon, following a post
mortem examination, advanced the
theory that the woman had awallowed
her false teeth and strangled to death.
Two gardeners found the woman's
body beside a well, which incloses the
lawn, and concealed by an Ivy vine.
Three linger marks on one side of her
throat and another on the other are
plainly visible. Her white evening

This City Will Furnish Two
Teams for a Semi-Professional

A semi-professional baseball league
is an assured (act for 1911, and
South Richmond will send not less
than twenty players to the different
clubs. One club will be known as
the "Manchester*, ” and other will be
called the Wlxards. They will repre

the suburbanites.

the game will be of some Interest to !

Ward poliae court Saturday. And all
of them were arrested upon a day
known to many as "hangsman's;
day.” It was Friday evening. Thirteen
men who had violated ordinances and
statutes came before Justice Maurice
and thirteen people were convicted.
Four cripples who had been run
out of Petersburg and Richmond tried
to seek alms from the good people of
Southside and as a result they were
brought Into the station house by
policemen.
"If Petersburg won't stand for you
people, and there isn't room enough
on the north side of the James for
you, this new territory Is certainly too
small. Go back to the pen and re
main there until the wagon oomes |
and then you may seek shelter with
the city sergeant for three months.”
Thus quoth Mr. Maurice.
Five people were fined $1 each for
ordinance violations and four paid
$2.50 a piece for being disorderly on
the car.
Four of the thirteen came to Rich
mond In the Black Marlah.”
