IS STILL A MYSTERY
Investigating the Death of
Annie McGulvey.
THOUGHT LANGDOX KILLED HER
And Then Attempted to Commit Suicide,
But Repented What Leads to
Thin Belief.
Philadelphia, March 25. There is
little doubt today that Annie McGrath,
found dead at 2926 Girard avenue, Mon
day night, was either killed as the result
of a plan for the doubie suicide of her
self and Samuel Langdon, a wealthy coal
operator, whose mistress she was, or she
alone committed suicide. The evidence
thus far' adduced points almost conclu
sively to the theory that Langdon took
her life and then attempted to commit
suicide, but forsook this purpose and
fled.
The most incriminating fact is that
the girl's lips and almost the entire in
terior of the mouth were burned and
discolored as if by acid poison, while
Langdon's tongue from his lips to bis
palate is a series of ulcers, which, ac
cording to his own statement, were not
there before Monday. This condition is
almost exactly similar to that existing
in the girl's mouth, except that in the
latter case it is more aggravated.
Bertha Stewart, a colored servant, em
ployed by the couple, was the last per
son except Langdon who saw the girl
alive. This was about 3:30 Sunday
afternoon.
Mrs. Langdon, as she was known,
came downstairs and told the Bervant to
prepare dinner. She then returned to
the bedroom, where her supposed hus
band had been with her all day. There
was no further sign from the upper part
of the house until 4:30, when she heard
a piercing scream. She hurried upstairs
and knocked at the door. Langdon, clad
only in his night shirt, opened the door
and told her her mistress was suffering
from a bilious attack to which she was
subject. Through the aperture the eer
vant saw her mistress lying on the bed
with a towel on her face. She was mo
tionless, and may have been dead then.
Langdon evidently had been lying on
the floor.
At 5 o'clock he came down alone to
dinner and told the girl not to disturb
her mistress, who was not well. He
gave her the keys of the. house and left
saying he was going to New York. That
night the body was discovered. The
girl's relations deny that she was ever
subject to bilious attacks.
Tuesday morning the Stewart girl re
ceived a postal card from Langdon
mailed after he had left the house the
night before, instructing her if her mis
tress was no better by Tuesday to notify
her father, Henry McGrath.
When arrested yesterday, Langdon
complained of being ill and shortly after
ward vomited copiouely. He told Police
Surgeon Andrews that his tongue and
throat were ulcerated from "excessive
smoking, but he had not before been
troubled with such an affection. The
surgeon found his throat in good condi
tion, and smoking does pot produce such
an ulceration as in this case. His mouth
looked as if it had been burned by an ir
ritant such as ether or chloroform. The
condition might have been produced by
mineral alkali in small quantities.
Bertha Steward made the further
statement today that Monday morning
she went up to awaken Langdon, but
could not arouae him. She heard him
snoring. She made another attempt
later in the day with a similar result.
The father of the dead girl told Coro
ner Ashbridge today that his daughter
had deceived him. Her excuse for her
absence for three or four days at a time
was that she had been visiting friends,
and this was accepted without question

New Yokk, March 25. Nicolas de
Cardenas, who was sent some months
ago to Peru as the representative of the

The Battle-Ship Iowa.
Dks Moines, la., March 25. The
people of Moulton, at a meeting, adopted
resolutions directed to Governor Drake,
asking him to have his daughter, Miss
Mary Lord Drake, use water instead of
wine in christening the battle-ship Iowa

Sooth Dakota Republican.
Huron, S. D., March 25. There . was
a large attendance today at the Republi
can state convention to select delegates
to St. Louis. A. B. Conns was selected
chairman. While the money question
has brought out diversified expressions,
it baa been decided to refer that subject
to the national republican convention.
The convention seemed strongly in favor
of McKinley. United States Senator
Pettigrew, who espoused the cause of
free silver, will probably be one of the
delegates.
