After, Killing the Woman,
Hampton Used Mirror
To Guide Aim of
Pistol.
New York, Oct. 17.—After sending a
bullet Into the head of a beautiful girl
who had bared her bosom for the allot,
apparently to carry out a death pact,
Louis U. Hampton, a banker and as*
slstnnt secretary In the United State,
Trust Company, of No. 45 Wall street,
stepped In front of a mirror In a room
In the Hotel Qrlffou, on West Ninth
street, and sent a bullet Into his head.
Both were dead when found.
The couple registered at the hotel
as Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, of Burlington,
Vi. Papers In the pocket of the dead
man gave the first clew to his Identity.
This was confirmed later by Henry I*.
Thornell, formerly eecrdtary ef the
Trust Company, who said the murderer
and suicide undoubtedly was Mr.
Hampton.
Wife Feared a Tragedy,
The girl waa Miss Victoria-I. Tacx-
kan. She lived with her parents at
No. S3l East Thirteenth street, and
was employed In a down-town depart
ment store. She was a girl of unusual
beauty.
Mr. Hampton leaves a wife and two
children. Mr,. Hampton, who lives In
the Chelsea apartments in West Twen
ty-third street, was Informed early to
day that her husband had met avlth an
sretdent. Before she knew there had
been a tragedy she said:
"If there Is ,:i woman In the case I
know her. She Is a ‘grass widow,’ who
‘ has been pursuing my husband for
iome lime. She Is very wealthy and
has a house of her own In the city. My
husband and I have been married for
40 years, and I have known that he was
out frequently away from home, or
from the office."
Suicide Waa Aged Man.
Hampton was about )0 years old and
of distinguished appearance. He made
his Drat appearance at the Hotel Orlf-
fou on Thursday afternooo, when he
Inquired If he could get a room there.
He was told there wae a vacant room,
and he paid for It In advance, laying
he would return later with hla wife.
About 8 o'clock yeeterday morning
he returned, accompanied by a tall,
rtchly-d leased and beautiful brunette.
Although he was ma^y years older
than his companion, the employee* at
the hotel thought they were a newly-
married couple, owing to the fact that
the clothes of both were new and of
the latest style. They reglalered as
Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair, of Burlington,
Vt.. and were assigned to a room on
the third floor.
About id o'clock Annie Holman, a
maid, uas going through halls turning
down the lights, when she thought she
heard several explosions. She paid Ut
il" attention to these, thinking the
noise ivns made by fireworks on the
streets. Sinclair, or Hampton, had left
Instructions at the hotel office to call
him at 10:3», saying he was to take u
train at that time.
Both Found Dead.
The Holman gtrLrang his bell at that
hour, hut recelvad no response. Half
»n hour Inter she again tried to arouse
the couple, but received no response.
Then, on Instructions from the office,
•he used a pass key to enter the room.
What she saw caused the girl to
•jream and rush to the olflc*. Mr.
Qrlffou, the proprietor, brought Dr.
Johnson, the hotel physician. They
found the woman lying acros* the bed

Remarkable Privi
leges For Prisoner
Under Such Charge.
Considerable comment has been
aroused by reason of the unusual lib
erty and privileges being accorded J.
H. Crutchfield, while being held In
custody at the police statloq on the
charge of assault with Intent to mur.
der his wife, Mrs. Sallle Crutchfield, at
her home, 100 South Pry^r street, on
Thursday afternoon.
While his wife Is lying on a cot In
the Grady hospital In a decidedly criti
cal condition, the final outcome of her
wounds a matter of uncertainty, the
husband, who, she says, shot her and
then beat her In the head without prov
ocation, goes anywhere about the police
elation he desires, and Friday, It Is re>
ported, was out on the streets. The
prisoner Is In custody of a special
guard, to whom he Is paying 12 a day.
A sensational Incident, In connection
with Crutchfield’* special privileges, oc
curred Saturday morning during the
session of police court. Crutchfield,
accompanied by his guard, walked Into
the court room and the former took a
scat on the Judge's stand, near Re
corder Broyles, before whom his pre-
llmlnafy trial Is pending. The guard
took a seat Inside the railing with the
other officers.
Crutchfield had occupied hla conspic
uous seat but a few moments when
Clerk Preston, Impressed by the un
usual procedure, invited him to leave
the stand and take a seat on the floor.
A few minutes later the prisoner and
hla guard left the court room.
Chief Interferes.
Police Chief Jennings, who ha* been
absent from his office on account of
Illness, was at the station. Saturday
morning nnd the Crutchfield matter
was brought to hla attention. The
chief nt once summoned the guard be
fore him, advising him that Crutch
field must not be allowed to go on the
streets and that his freedom must be
confined to the police station. He also
told the guard to notify CrutchfieM he
had acted Improperly In going on the
Judge's Stand. • '
Just before this conference Crutch
field became thirsty and requested that
a bottle of beer be aent him. The guard

NOVEMBER ELECTION
TO PROVE CLAIM
His Majesty Declares That the Duchess
Displayed “Incredible Obstinacy” in Not
Agreeing to Settlement.
New York,’ Oct. 27.—A Igmdon cable
to The World la aa follows:
' The separation' of the Duke and
Duchess of Marlborough has now be
come public property and I* openly
discussed In Mayfnlr. The Onlooker
declares that It constitutes the greatest
society sensation In years. King Ed
ward, who, partly from motives of pol
icy and partly out of good nature, al
ways strives to prevent these aristo
cratic upheavals, used the utmost per
sonal effort to bring about a reconcilia
tion. Even apparent reconciliation
would have satisfied the king, but the
ducliees displayed what his majesty
termed "Incredible obstinacy."
For the sake of appearances, how
ever. the duke was prepared'to sanc
tion tho terms, which .were nctually
submitted to the duchess through the
king, but they were decisively and
summarily rejected by the daughter of
the Vanderbilts.
The efforts of the king have heed or
no avail and the duke and duchess have
arranged for a separation without ap
plying to court. •
The duchess will allow her husband
1100,000 a year, which, with hi* Income
of <50,000, will make him financially
able to continue the life which. It Is
alleged, has caused his wife to despise
him.
Incompatibility, which has been as
signed as the causa of the estrange-
ment, Is regarded as merely a cloak to
hide- the actions of the duke, who has
become greatly attached to a married
woman high In sodtty.

tile claim in
that In the congressional
a week front next Tuesday,
the Deinocrota will gain 67 members of
the house. They claim In addition to
this n, net gain of three In the new del
egation from Oklahoma, which will not
be elected till next .spring, but will be
In Washington to take part in the or
ganization of the house.
The possibility Is pointed out that the
complexion of the next house may not
be decided on election day at nil. In
cane It should be very close the five
new members from Oklahoma might be
determinative. Such a situation would
mean that the new Mate would he bap
tized Into membership In the union
with the most terrific contest that any
state ever knew, the control of the
house depending on It.
Conditions Which Prevail.
Here Is the logic of the situation as
viewed by this Democratic authority
today:
General discontent and general pros
perity are both working in this cam
paign. Their efforts will offset and
leave the situation such that about
normal conditions will rule in the elec-
t Ion.
But there are striking exception* to
this rule find these exceptions, It is
claimed, favor tho Democrats. New
York, Pennsylvania and Iowa are
named as tho states In which the most
marked Illustration Is to be found of
these local conditions In tho Interest of
the Democrats. Ilearst Is expected to
•weep Into the hous^a net gain of ten
Democrats. Pennsylvania ta to gain
Blx and Iowa Is credited, with three. AU
on local conditions. ’
Whers Osins Ars Clsimsd.
Oklahoma gets flvo congressmen, hut
will not choose them till spring. Tho
Democratic claim Is four of the five,
making a net gain of three. This would
give a Democratic gain of 70, while a
net gain of 67 would tie the 'house
(Oklahoma not being counted), and a
gain of 68 would control It.
It Is stated that In preparing thee9
figures the Democrats have conceded
the chance of losing some districts
they now hold, and the gains claimed
are In all Instances net. The possibili
ties of Democratic losses* however, are
claimed to be very small.
Where gains are claimed: New York,
10; Rhode Island, 1; Massachusetts, 1;
Connecticut, 1; Pennsylvania, 6; Ohio,
f; Missouri, 8; Illinois, 6; Iowa, 3:

Democrat* May Get House.
A prominent Democrat, to whom the.
foregoing was shown, remarked that
he considered It an excellent presenta
tion of the situation. He pointed out
present Republican bouse ma-
not a Republican majority, but
Roosevelt majority. Tho Republi
cans admit large losses. They are
greatly frightened over New York end
no longer deny It. The knowledge of
their panic over New York has given
encouragement to Democrats all over
tip country.
"The result will be." he said, “a big
Democratic gain In certain spots, n
