Citizens Are in Rage Over
Most Brutal Crime in His
tory of County
TROY, N. Y. —The murderer of Ha
zel I, Drew, the beautiful 19-year-old
girl whose body was found In the
shallow waters of Teal Pond, ten
miles from this city, is known. One,
and probably two, arrests may be
made today, according to the an
nouncement of District Attorney Jar
vis P. O'Brien.
Developments In this, the most
tragic and most pitiful murder in the
history of Renssalear county haVe
come so swiftly as to almost to sur
prise the men who twenty-four hours
ago were without a clue to the slayer.
Clever selection of a lonely spot for
the concealment of the body and ef
forts to convey the impression that
the girl jumped into the lonely pond
to end her life proved baffling only
for a time.
But the murderer's subsequent de
meanor—the guilty conscience offset
ting the precautions against detec
tion—have resulted in the weaving of
a Web so closely about the suspected
man that but few strands are heeded
until the net is drawn.
Marks upon Hazel Drew’s body in
dicate clearly that she died while
making a brave struggle to defend
her honor. A string tied about her
neck indicates that the murderer and
his accomplice, fearing the blow on
the back of the' head had not been
sufficient to end her life, and forever
seal her lips, made sure, doubly sure,
by strangling her.
Grief over the death of the beauH
ful young governess is widespread.
Her winsomeness, good nature and
mental alertness had endeared her to
the fhmily of Prof. E. R. Cary, head
of the Renssalaer hospital of this city.
Violence is being talked, and so
great is the anger and resentment at
the revolting crime that every pre
caution will be taken by the authori
ties when an arrest is made.

WOMAN SHOT HER SON-IN-LAW FOR
THE MURDER OF HER HUSBAND
NEW YORK—Dr. James W. Simp

his wife's mother, Mrs. Tiartley T.
Horner, at the door of her home at
Vernon Valley, near Northport, L. L.,
Is In a critical condition today In
Roosevelt hospital, but the doctors at
tending him have not given up hope
for his recovery.
"If I die,"he said, smiling, "I will
be conscience-clear of the murder of
my father-in-law, Bartley T. Horner.”
Then Simpson talked of his trial
following the killing of his father-ln
taw, on December 27, 1905, when he
•as arested and charged with delib
erately murdering the old man.
"I had my training then, you see,”
he said. "I was in a worse box then
than l am In now. I am only suf
fering physical pain now. Then I
was suffering mental torture, and the
last is the worst. It was much worse
because I tfas innocent. I didn't de-

THE AUGUSTA HERALD
GOES RACK TO HIS
CELL TO SERVE
LOME TERM
Man Voluntarily Returns To
Penitentiary To Show That
He is Honest
CHICAGO—William McCarty is go
ing back to the Indiana state peni
tentiary at Michigan City. Unless his
sentence, is commuted by legislative
action or a pardon, fourteen years
will pass before he is again a free
man. Yet no officer of the law ac
companied him on his trip across the
state line yesterday, and the railroad
ticket on which he cante from North
Yakamira, Washington, to serve out
his sentence, was bought out of his
own earnings.
“I never was so happy as I am just
now,” he said. “I mean it. 1 broke
my parole and it's up to me to go
back. The punishment will be such as
I deserve, but when 1 leave my cell
I can do it with head erect and with
the knowledge that I am at least hon
est. Isn't that worth while?”
McCarty has never heard of Jean
Valjean. He does not even know of
William January, the Kansas City
man who escaped from the federal
prison at Leavenworth, and we sent
back while a petition with 37,250 sig
natures went to Washington asking
for his pardon. He knows simply that
he was “converted’’ recently at a Sal
vation army meeting in North Yaka
mira, became convinced that it was
his duty to return to the prison from
which he had escaped when on parole,
and set to work earning money for
his passage.
And thereby goes Jean Valjean and
William January one better, for his
action, according to his friends, is en
tirely voluntary.
GUI. WILSON WILL
NOT CALL PROHI
LEGISLATURE
FRANKFORT, Ky.—ln reply to the
demand of the Southern Methodist
conference of eastern Kentucky, that
he call an extra session of the legis

extend temperance legislation in the
state, Governor Wilson says that the
failure of the legislature to pass a
county unit bill was du e to the demo

senate. He does not think, however,
that he can afford to burden the peo
ple with extra payments for an extra
session, especially where there is no
certainty that such a bill would be
passed.

believed to be saturated with cyanide
of potassium is now in the hands of
Walter F. Owen, of this city.

CLEAN OUT THE
JOINT

and a score or more of scathing
words, Mrs. Carrie Nation dropped
unexpectedly into Ihe Pompeian room
at the Auditorium last, evening and
made a valiant attempt to clean the
place out peremptorily and perma
nently.
At 8 o'clock she left the hold and
cautiously stole down Michigan ave
nue to another entrance. Detective
James Celia was stationed at the en
trance of the Pompeian room and
knew nothing of her movements. She
slipped by him and swept down
through tho tables to reach an ad
vantageous spot to deliver her lec
ture, which she had planned as a
preparatory step to her little axo
operations.
"You sinners, sitting here drinking
this filthy stuff," began Mrs. Nation,
frowning upon her auditors who gasp
id and wondered and moved un
easily. "This is a hell hole. You
are weak —the victims of a huge beer
resort., which if you don’t break away
front will —you know, you know, the
rest of your lives.”
Some one who recognized Mrs. Na
tion passed passed the word along
the tables. The guests shifted ner
vously. The waiters stood dumfound
ed with trays of fancy drinks.
“This damatlnn ” began Mrs.
Nation. Her impassioned plea had
reached Celia by this time, and ho
came in the room on the jump. Ho
slipped his right arm around her
waist, and led her down to the bur
In order to take her from tho room
through the rear door.
Undaunted, Mrs. Nation continued
her speech as she was escorted from
the room. When she reached the
bar she handed the astonished bar
lenders some salutary advice, and
then was put on the elevator and
taken to her room by Celia.
Mrs. Nation left for Columbus, O.
last night, where she will attend the
prohibition convention. She assert
ed she would return to Chicago and
look the Annex over again.
