Mme. Jajy, who were found strangled
In the house of the artist on the morn
ing of May 31, her attempt to find the
assassins and the Innumerable fantastic
clews furnished the police and the news
papers, were only a desperate farce to
conceal the real author of the crime,
whom she knew, affords Paris the big
gest sersation it has had in years.
The excitement produced from time to
time by the Humbert, Dreyfus and Syve
ton affairs pales into insignificance by
comparison and the revelations which
crowdei thick and fast during the day.
pointing to the possible exposure of a na
tional scandal, promise to attract world
wide attention.
I'nprecendented scene? were witnessed
at the Palace of Justice yesterday while
tlie woman was under examination, guards
beinc requfrei to restrain the crowds
entering-. On the boulevards men fought
for special editions of newspapers con
taining accounts of the case, while in
the lobbies of Parliament the National
Ists created a hnhhiib by threatening to
call the government to account unless
orders were given immediately to prob
the srandal to the bottom.
Minister of Justice Briand. who is as
tonished by the seriousness of the charges,
is reported already to have begun a se
cret inquiry to determine the truth of
tli allegation printed here this afternoon
that M. Leydett. the examining magis
trate, entertained relations with Mme.
fciteinheil which induced him to stifle the
affair. The insinuations behind this charge
which Involve the remarkable life his
tory of Mine. Sleinheil, have been on
everybody's lips for months and explain
the immense popular curiosity with re
gard to the crime.
Political opponents of the government
like Henri Kochefort. have been trying
to make political capital of the affair by
seeking to force an exposure of the scan
dat connected with the mysterious death
f Felix Kaure, I 'resident of the Repub-
I.e. in 19. Although hushed up at the
time, it was common knowledge among
those, behind the scenes that Mme. Stein
lieil was with M. Faure at the Elysee
pahice when he died. Some of the Par
isian afternoon papers do not hesitate
to print what they term the story of the
liaison. According to these stories, M.
J-aure .mil met Mme. btelnheu a year
previous to his death and she was greatly
enamored of him.
A person wiio attended the funeral of
M. Faure described to the Associated
press today how, after the ceremony at
the cemetery. Mine. Weinheil fell on her
knees at the grave, took from her bosom
a bunch of violets and threw them on
the coffin. Tiien, lie said, she prostrated
aerself, sobbing, on the grave, passion
ately kissing M. Fa lire's portrait. Imme
diately after this, according to the same
authority. M. Stein hoi I, who had been
complacent at the friendship existing be
tween I'aure and his wife and hud ac
cepted the ljfgon of Honor at the hands
of President Faure. began proceedings
for divorce, but through the interven
tion of his family this suit was with
drawn. According to gossip, compromis
ing papers of some political Importance
w. re surr 'ndered. but M. Kochefort has
charged repeatedly that others remained
In tne possession of Stelnheil at the time
of his murder.
Atter Kaur'"s death Mine. Steinheil,
who admitted last night that she de
tected Inr husband, formed other alli
ii net a, loiii' with men of political In
fluence. She confessed last nicht and
again today befere the authorities that
ml t he t tin" of t tie murder of her hus
band nnd Mme. Jary ne had a lover.
This man is believed to be a rich noble
man, who now is absent from Paris.
I-a. 1-iberte quotes Mme. Steinheil as
saying:
4,I had a lover. The police knew of
It and treated me with such brutality
that our affair was broken off. My heart
Is crushed and my daughter alone will
hold in to li.
To journalists last night, on the
other hand. Mme. Stelnheil declared
that the purpose of her attempt to
fasten the crime on other persons, like
Con! Hard, who was arrested several
days ago on suspicion and released to
right, nas to clear herself In the eyes
of her lover. The police did not place
too much reliance in th details of her
confession after the wild charges she
had made, and believe that the real
story of the crime remains to be told,
ftping convinced that Alexander Wolff
was not connected with the tragedy,
they released him tonicht.
The evening newspapers say there is
absolutely no warrant for the rumors
that an illustrious painter, whose name
has been mentioned in connection with
the case. Is In any way involved in it.
The lntransigoant describes the af
fair as a "drama of love and death, tn
which one man was murdered to make
way for another."
It is stated to night that Mme. Steln
heil Is definitely charged with com
plicity In the murder of her husband
and Mme. Japy.
In a later examination before Magis
trate leydett there was a dramatic
cene. which, after Mme. Stelnheil had
Insisted again and again that Wolff
was the real assassin, her daughter
threw herself on her knees before.
Mine. Steinheil. crying:
"Mamma, mamma, confess all. I Im
plore you."
The mother. In a burst of tears, res
ponded: "Pefore my daughter X swear I am In
nocent." The anti-semite I-ibre Parole charges
Mme. Steinheil with (raving poisoned
President Faure. The newspaper recalls
that on tr.e day of the funeral a writer
on the Iibre Parole, who had seen the
body, had said:
"All the skill of embalmers was unable
to f reserve the corps from the dissol
vent action of the subtle poison."
The Journal continues by charging tha:
Chief of IVtectives Hamard and Magis
trate I-evdett knew that the arrest of
Mme. Steinheil would lead inevitably to
the "rakira up of th scandalous mys
tery of Fauros death, which with dif
I;ouUy had been stifled fr ten years,
and accordingly did their best to silence
the present inquiry.
The newspaper concludes by swying
that Faure was poisoned because he wajt
tij.psed to revision In the Dreyfus case.
In her confession last night Mme. Steln
heil declared Wolff was the murderer of
br husband. Wolff was arrested, dented
all gu.it aud said he u ready to prove
an alibi. Madame Stelnheil then weak
ened and said if It was not Wolff, the
man who did commit the crime resem
bled him strongly.
Then suspicion turned upon Mme. fsteln
hell herself, and she was arrested. One
of the surprises of the day was the rev
elation of the fact that Mme. Japy, who
was murdered at the same time as Stein
heil, was not Mme. Steinheil's mother, as
had been supposed, but her stepmother.
The crime In question was committed
the night of May 31.
Mme. Japy was a portrait painter and
a era nd-nephew of Meissonier. The as
sassination of the woman, however, is
supposed to have been incidental to the
killing of Stelnheil. He was the man it
was desired to put ou of the way.
Stelnheil, his wife and Mme. Japy lived
together. Mme. Japy was bound and
gagged by her assassins. Alexander
Wolff, the man accused today by Mme.
Steinheil, is the son of a woman who
was formerly employed In the Steinheil
family as a cook. He and his mother,
whose name is Marietta, were at once
arrested. It transpired, however, that
Mme. Steinheil was not the nrst person
to accuse Wolff. A mechanic named
Warner told the police a few days after
the crime that Wolff had suddenly come
around with a pocket full of gold. The
night of the crime he was not present in
his usual haunts, but the morning after.
when he read an account of the tragedy
In a newspaper, he appeared to oe great
ly excited and swore that he would have
vengeance on the assassins.
Marthe Stelnheil has been devoted to
her mother in the beginning, but today
she was in a pitiful condition of dis
tress. After the ordeal at the Palace of
Justice she was completely prostrated.

Tells How He Accompanied Gang
Led By C. A. Johns, on Looting
Expeditions on Numerous
Occasions.
Portland's police department has to its
credit one of the most notable captures
of safeblowers made this year In the
Pacific Northwest, and perhaps the most
Important ever made in Portland of that
brand of criminal experts who devote
their talents exclusively to cracking safes.
This was established Thursday morning
by the confession of Gus Johnson, the
17-year-old boy who was arrested by De
tective Coleman as ..one of a gang of
'nitroglycerin" men who have been suc
cessfully operating throughout the state,
making Portland their headquarters. The
blowing of one safe, that at Xyssa, Or.,
has been traced directly to this gang,
and. through the confession wrung from
Johnson yesterday morning it is believed
that more than a dozen others will be
laid at their doors.
Boy Breaks Down.
Dressed up in the new clothes pro
cured with ills ill-gotten money, Johnson
maintained a sullen silence when hrst
apprehended by Detective Coleman. The
influence of the prison atmosphere, the
encouragement of the detective and the
indictment of his own conscience, how
ever, were' too much for the boy, and
lie broke down yesterday morning and
confessed. He asserted that C. A. Johns,
who also had been arrested by Detective
Coleman, was the leader of the gang. He
admitted having accompanied the men
on some of their expeditions. In others
he took no part. He signed a written
confession, the details of which the po
lice have not made public. It is said
they hope to make other revelations in
connection with the gang in the course
of a few days. It is known, however,
that Johns. Johnson and Lloyd, a Kelly
Butte prisoner, are three of the gang, and
it Is said that another arrest may follow
soon.
Lloyd In Sweatbox.
Lloyd was sent for yesterday and
brought in to the police station from the
rockpile for an application of the third
degree by members of the detective bu
reau. He was also seen last night by
Postoffice Inspector B. C. Clement, who
is now working on the case in conjunc
tion with Detective Coleman, iir. Cle
ment said that every detail of the safe
blowing the other night at Monmouth,
Or., which was a postoffice "Job," points
to the guilt of Johns and his gang. They
were absent from their haunts In Port
land on the night It was committed and
reappeared after it with plenty of money.
He said that the United Slates District
Attorney would be consulted today and
a complete investigation into the opera
tions of the gang would be gone into by
the Federal authorities.
Bobbed Linnton Safe.
Information has been received, it Is
said, which now shows that this crowd
also robbed the safe which was opened
recently in Linnton. Efforts are being
made to locate the "cache" of the gang
in this city. It is believed that large
quantities of Jewelry and other valu
able articles are hidden somewhere in
the city. More than 40 watches were
taken out of one of the safes, and this,
together with other untold loot, the
robbers have secreted somewhere.
Johnson is something of a new type
to the police. He is rough in manner,
but has an open face and lacks the
cunning or the look of brutality
usually observedjn kindred types. He
lias cried for hours since his Incarcera
tion in the jail, but will not reveal the
whereabouts of his parents or how he
first became enmeshed in the criminal
enterprises headed by Johns.
That the arrest of these men Is a
large feather in the cap of Detective
Coleman is easily attested by the ac
claim accorded his eat by other less
successful members of the detective
department.

GIRL HER OWN DETECTIVE
Watches Show Shops Till She Finds
Man Who Robbed Her.
CHICAGO, Nov. 27. Acting as her
own detective, Miss Amelle Ernesten
last night captured a holdup man who,
six weeks ago, robbed her of J125 and
a gold watch. The prisoner, who gave
the name of Edward Kelly, confessed
to the police that he was one of the
thieves. He refused to reveal the iden
tity of his companion in crime.
Miss Ernesten has been in America
only a vear, coming from Germany. She
is 25 years old. One night In the early
part of October she attended a 5-cent
theater. On coming out of the theater
she was confused and asked two young
men to direct her to her residence.
Tlier volunteered to escort her.
Peine a stranger in the country and
believing everybody honest, the girl
did not suspect that the two men were
bent on robbing her. She was taken
v In the general direction of her dwell
ing and was led into Washington i-arn
where the two men strangled her and
robbed her of a bag of money that she
wore around her waist. During the re
sistance she made to save the money
her clothing was torn to shreds. The
robbers beat her and left her uncon
scious.
On reaching the home of her em
ployer early in the morning, a doctor
wa called to attend ner. Her conai
tion was serious.
Detectives worked on the case sev
eral days, but without result. For the
last month Miss Ernesten has nightly
visited the 6-cent theaters in State
street, In the hope of catching the men
who robbed her. Last night her efforts
were rewarded. She recognized Kelly
as he came out of a 5-cent showhouse
and followed him until she came to
Policemen Powers and Dowling.
"Arrest that man," she exclaimed.
"He robbed me six weeks ago."

VIENNA, Nov. 27. Demoralization, re

here and at Budapest yesterday and
brought many of the prices below the
level reached in the panic during the
empire's uneasiness over the outcome of
tlie Balkans difficulty.
Many adverse rumors in circulation
here are obviously unfounded, but real
anxiety surrounds the grave Austro-Turk-ish
relations and the divergent views con
cerning the conlldence indicated in Rus
sia's last note to Austria. Further alarm
was created yesterday by an apparently
well-grounded report of the approaching
conclusion of an anti-Austrian treaty be
tween Turkey, Servia and Montenegro.
Four Viennese newspapers have been
conliscated for circulating reports eon
corning the concentration of troops.
The government yesterday issued notice
that the reports were unfounded and
promised that the Bourse would be nc li

currences. Its efforts, however, failed to
remove the apprehension or restore the
confidence of the exchange. The view
here Is that the Turkish government is

FIGHT FINANCIAL FAILURE
Ketchel-Fapke Bout Will Cost Pro
moter About $200 0.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 27. (Special.)
The receipts of the Ketchel-Papke fight
were announced tonight by Promoter
ColTroth as J18.321. This was far below
what was expected, as it was figured
several days before the match that there
would be $30,0)0 in the house. The rainy
weather, the legal complications and the
counter attractions all pulled against the
tight, and Promoter Coffroth, while dis
appointed, feels that under the circum
stances he did well.
According to Manager Jones, Papke re
ceived $12,000 for his end win, lose or
a draw while JS000 went to Ketchel.
Coffroth never gave a statement of the
financial agreement with the fighters, but
if this statement is correct the promoter
lost money on the bout, as it would
cost him in the neighborhood of $2000 to
promote it.

Mead to Appoint Man
Cosgrove Selects..
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 27. (Special.)
When Justice Milo Root, of the Supreme
Court of Washington, wrote to Governor
Mead he admits that he did not think of
resigning for the balance of the present
term which ends in January, but meant
to step down and out of the office and
leave the' Supreme Court without embar
rassment forever. Justice Root presents a
pitiable figure. He is broken in heart
and health, and all because he says he
trusted u friend of lifelong standing when
he delivered his "epistolary indiscretions"
into the nands of Judge Gordon, Great
Northern attorney, accusations against
whom brought the ermine from Hie shoul
ders of Justice Root.
Justice Root declares that he will not
qualify for the long term of six years
on the bench to which he has been
elected. He says that when he penned
his resignation he was sick and failed
to imply in the resignation that he meant
to ouit the bench for good. He intends
to open a law office and attempt to
wrest fortune from the maw of the fates
which he says have pursued him ever
since he held office.
Mead and Cosgrove to Appoint.
The Governor has no yet received the
resignation of Mr. Root. The Governor
has been in Bellingham arranging to
move to his old home when his term of
office expires. He has been besieged
with long distance telephone calls from
all over the state since Justice Root's
resignation, and many delegations have
sought to make an appointment with him.
Should lie accept the resignation of Jus
tice Root forthwith as asked for, he will
appoint someone to fill the unexpired
term. Following that the question of re
tention will lie in the hands of Governor
elect Cosgrove. Friends of Mr. Mead be
lieve that he will not appoint any one
who is nof satisfactory to Mr. Cosgrove,
as it is the general understanding that
Mr. Mead and Mr. Cosgrove agreed upon
many matters, and possibly this one, in
a meeting held at Pomeroy previous to
the removal of the Governor-elect to Cal
fornia, in case Mr. Cosgrove should be
unable to qualify in the beginning of his
term.
In announcing his plans for the future
and In explanation of his oversight in
not making his resignation for all time
clear to the public. Justice Root said:
"When I submitted my resignation 1
the Governor it was my Intention finally
to Quit the bench. Owing to my poor
physical condition and the mental strain
to which I have recently been subjected.
I gave no thought to the fact that my
resignation did" not affect the long term
to which I have been elected, but as I
have given the matter no thought I
prefer not to dfscuss the question at
this time. It is my intention, as soon
as I am physically able to do so, to
enter upon the practice of law. I shall
open an office in Seattle and devote
myself to building up a practice. I am
confident that by hard work I shall suc
ceed in tha practice of law, although I
realize that having been absent trom
active practice for so long a time means
practically to begin at the bottom, bince
presenting my resignation to the Gov
ernor I have received many assurances
of continued confidence from friends who
have known me ever since I began the
practice of law, and this gives me en
couragement to begin the struggle over
again."
PROTESTS AGAINST FIGHTS
Minister's Objection to Pictures
Breaks Up Gathering at Church.
NEW YORK. Nov. 27. Calvary M. E.
Church, of which the-Rev. C. O. Goodell
is pastor, finds itself with an unpleas
ant Thanksgiving episode on Its hands.
A picture entertainment was in prog
ress there last evening, when suddenly
the pastor's voice was heard in the
darkened edifice, protesting against a
picture of the burning of Rome, in
which women were shown attired In
tights. The picture, declared Goodell,
vas unfit for the children in the aud
ience to see.
After a moment of hesitation the op
erator threw on the screen a highway
robbery scene. At this there was an
other protest, and the show was de
clared off. Those who had paid ?!5 cents
entrance fee were disgruntled when the
entertainment was ended so abruptly,
and demanded their money back. Free
admission was promised to the next ex
hibition, but the complaints continued.
As a last resort the police took a hand,
ordering the dissatisfied ones to leave
the church.
