THREATENED WITH DEATH.
WltncM In New York Minder Case Ke.
eetve Threatening Letter.
New York. Jan. 27. -One of the wit-
nenei In the cane of William Hooper
TounR, accused of murdering Mrs. An
nie Pulltrer, has called at the district
attorney' office In reference to an an
onymous letter he said he had received
throuth the mnlls threatening him.
The man was unhered Into the office
of Assistant Attorney Clark with whom
he was closeted for some time. v hen
he left the building ho refused to tell
his name or to give the contents of the
letter. Mr. Clark also refused to di
vulge the victim's name, nor would he
let a copy of the letter be given out. It
ta also said that the letter threatened
the witness with death is he testified
at the trial. It was said to have con
tained excerpts from the "blood at
tonement" doctrine of the Mormon
church.
The witness was much excited over
the affair and appeared to be in fear of
bodily harm. As the letter has not
been given out for publication, it is
supposed that the district attorney's
office has taken It seriously.
INDICTMENT WAS FAULTY.
Murderer Goes Free on Technicality
After Serving Twelve Years.
Chicago, Jan. 27. Because of errors
In hia Indictment, John Dennlson, who
was convicted of murder 12 years ago
and received a life sentence as penalty,
has been freed on habeas corpus pro
ceedings before Judge McEwan.
Dennlson was accused of the murder
of a man named Dillon and at the same
time a man named Burke was Indicted
for robbing Dillon. The drawer of the
Indictment against Dennlson substitut
ed Burke's name for his and worded
the document so ambiguously that it
was practically nullified. The confus
ing sentences were erased, but it is not
known whether the erasure was made
before or after the trial. The law pre
sumes that the erasure was made after
ward, and principally upoa tnis tecnnic-
al ground Denlson was released.
Denison Is now but 3S years old. He
had long given up all hope of release.
NEW FAST MAIL LINE.
Canadian Government to Reduce Time
From London to Vancouver.
New York, Jan. 27. The Irish Times
claims, according to the London cor
respondent of the Tribune, to have the
most excellent authority for stating
that the Canadian government is ao
solutely determined to institute a fast
steamship serv'ce as soon as possible,
by which mails can be landed at
Vancouver within eight days from Lon
don. The Dominion authorities have
not vet fixed a port of call on this side
of the Atlantic, and Ireland is pushing
the claims of Blacksod bay, which is
nearer Halifax than any other port in
the United Kingdom.
PATIENTS BURNED TO DEATH.
Fire in English Insane Asylum Causes
. Serious Damage. -
London, Jan. 27. A score of insane
patients were burned to death by a fire
at the Colby Hatch asylum this morn
ing. The' outbreak occurred In the
Jewish wing of the Institution. The
flames spread with great rapidity and
before they could be got under control
five wooden buildings were gutted.
All the effors of the officials were
directed to removing the insane in
mates, but the latter became wild with
excitement and so panic-stricken that
not only were they unable to help
" themselves, but greatl ylmpeded the op
eratlos of those trying to save them.
