SHOT DEAD BY A WOMAN.
FIVE bullets fired into her
VICTIM ON" FULTON STREET.
A Charge that He Had Betrayed Her
the Woman’s Excuse for the Shoot
ing—The Dead Man One of the
Trustees of the Brooklyn Bridge.
His Slayer Under Arrest.
New York, Nov. 22.—Shortly after 10
o’clock this morning, Stephen L. Pettus,
secretary and treasurer of the Brooklyn
Union Elevated railroad, and a member of
the Arm of Pollard, Pettus & Cos., of No. 54
Broad street, in this city, was shot dead in
front of No. 10 Fulton street by Mrs.
Hannah Southworth, who refused to give
her address to the police when arrested.
Just before 10 o’clock, while Fulton street
■was crowded with people who had just
landed from a Brooklyn ferrvboat, a
young woman, wearing a sealskin sacque
trimmed with long black fur, was seen
hurrying along behind a well-dressed man,
wearing a derby hat. When in front of
No. 10 she pulled a large Smith & Wesson
38-eahber revolver from beneath her dress
and fired five shots in quick succession at
the man in front of her, although he fell at
the first shot; in fact, the woman continued
firing until every chamber of the revolver
was emptied.
death’s murderous smile.
As her victim writhed and tossed in agony
on the sidewalk, the woman, looking calm
and self-possessed, actually smiled with ap
parent satisfaction. In a short time a great
crowd had been attracted to the spot by the
shots. An officer also made a rush for the
place. His first impulse was to take the
smoking pistol from the woman’s hand.
When she saw the officer coming, raising
herself to her full bight, and assuming a
somewhat dramatic position, she hissed
out between her teeth, pointing at the now
cold, lifeless body on the sidewalk, the
while: “That man betrayed me and I have
shot him. He has ruined me and my
family.” Officer Goodwin did not stop to
parley. The crowd was becoming greater
and greater every moment.
UNDER ARREST.
Taking the woman by the arm the officer
led her to a side street. This was accom
plished with some difficulty, as the throng
kept closing in on the officer. Finally they
reached the old slip station house, where
the woman gave her name as Hannah
Southworth, 30 years of age, but she per
sisted in refusing to give her residence. To
the sergeant at the desk Mrs. Southworth
repeated her statement that the dead man
had betrayed her and ruined her
and her family. Then she was
locked up. During this trying ordeal
Mrs. Southworth never winced, but on the
contrary appeared to become more calm
and dignified. While this was going on the
dead body of the murdered man still lay
where it fell. Willing hands, however, as
soon as they recovered from the first shock,
carried the body into the tea store, No. 10,
and an ambulance from the Chambers
Street hospital was summoned. Before it
arrived Mr. Pettus had breathed his last.
A few minutes later officers from the Old
slip arrived and the remains were placed
on a stretcher and brought to the station
house. When searched, several letters were
found on his person addressed Stephen L.
Pettus.
EVERY BULLET EFFECTIVE.
An examination of the body shows that
nil five of the bullets had taken effect.
Three bullets had lodged in his back, one in
his neck and one in his right side. Either
one of the bullets would have caused
death.
Hannah Southworth, who committed the
murder, is tho woman who attacked Mr.
Pettus in front of the elevated office, at No.
95 Clinton street, about a year ago. She
was arrested at the time and taken before
the late Judge Walsh, who placed her
under b nd to keep the peace.
The coroner committed Mrs. Southworth
to the city prison until Tuesday at 10
o’clock, when she will be given a hearing.
She was taken to prison in a cab, attended
by the officer who arrested her.
STORY OF A FRIEND.
According to the story told by one of her
friends, llrs._ Southworth is a native of
Louisville, Ky. Her father’s name was
Martin. At the time the family left Louis
ville Mrs. Southworth was a little girl, and
is now about 35 years old. She is
descended on her mother’s side from
a race of women long remarkable
for extreme beauty. Her mother,
Mrs. Martin, and her aunt, the late Mrs.JS.
H. Tarrev, were ladies especially noted in
this particular in their youth. Mrs. South
worth herself grew up conspicuous likewise
for her personal beauty. She was married
in 1877 at Geneva, N. Y., to Frederick K.
Southworth, a banker, who died two years
later. A few years after she came to Brook
lyn to live with liar mother and two
brothers. It was soon after this that she
was introduced by a mutual friend to Mr.
Pettus. She was at this time living at the
Pierrepont house.
CAUSE OF THE TRAGEDY.
The cause of the tragedy, as stated by an
of Mrs. South worth, dates
hack to an outrage committed by Mr. Pet
tus upon the lady, and which had been
concealed from any except a very few of
her most intimate friends for a long time.
It appears, as is alleged, that her acquain
tance with Mr. Pettus was developed into
‘Headship on account of the intimacy of
Mrs. Southworth’s woman friend with him.
the story goes that this lady was in the
haoit of attending theaters and taking
tuuches with Mr. Pettus, and upon these
expeditions was in the habit of taking Mrs.
outhworth with her from time to time,
the natural result of this kind of associa
tion led to an invitation at the close of a
hiatiriL'e one afternoon in New York city on
the part of Mr. Pettus to Mrs. Southworth
to call at a certain residence near by upon
the pretext of seeing a friend of his.
A DEN OF INIQUITY.
As the house was in a neighborhood in a
cspectable part of the city, after some ex
r , hations on the part of Mr. Pettus, calcu
tn •! T u ’ et the lady’s apprehensions as
M propriety of the proceeding,
„ T B, Southworth consented. They were
shered in a parlor, where, to Mrs. South
hv Q 8 cotlß ternation, they were met
a colored man with the air of
, "utter, from whom Mr. Pettus
hpi, 6re ? a of wine. Mrs. Southworth,
m frightened at her surroundings, de
bv xt t an *' x P' ana tion, and was reassured
r ;.“ Bttus that everything was all right.
lme she was ur K'i to take a glass of
c which she did, having been ac
astomed from childhood to the use of wiue
upon proper occasions.
A DRUGGED GLASS.
In a few moments she lost consciousness
i n „, more °f her surrouud
following morning, when she
Xi" p finding herself in bed in this
with louso with no one about her and
had oJ 10 ? ne within call whom she
that eh T °u ji’own. She soon discovered
Cu i!, h !S and h®? 11 outraged, and she had
upon r^ andoi ? 6d to make her way home,
could e< j? venn K consciousness, as best she
turned h, rwhel . mod with shame, she re
hyjis, amj giving gome excuse as
JStoftting
best she could to her family for her absence,
she at:empted to conceal her disgrace, keep
ing it secret.
A MOTHER OUT OF WEDLOCK.
In the course of a few weeks, however, to
her consternation, she discovered that some
one must le taken into her confidence, and
that abs .lute secrecy would soon become an
impossibility from natural causes. In her
extremity she appealed to Mr. Pettus to
assist her, and still save her
good name from being sullied
in the public estimation. In time she
decided, at the instance of Mr. Pettus, in
order to protect the name of her widowed
mother, to consent to have a criminal
operation performed. After having been
dosed with medicine for weeks without suc
cessful result, she was seat to an interior
city in this state, where, at a hotel among
utter strangers, she was attended by a
physician, under whose care for weeks she
lay hovering between life and death.
UNFULFILLED PROMISES.
She was at length restored to a shadow of
her former self, covered with shame, her
life wrecked and her physical health irre
trievably broken. In order to avoid
exposure at the time of the outrage, Pettus,
it is alleged, made most profuse
promises of substantial provision for her,
but refused to give her satisfaction.
Finally, on March 28 of this
year, Mrs. South worth made an attack upon
Pettus with an umbrella in a Brooklyn
elevated car, and on May 16 she was ar
rested while waiting for Pettus at one of
the stations of the elevated road in Brook
lyn. Many times since she has been seen in
the vicinity of Pettus’ house and office.
MONTANA’S LEGISLATURE!.
A Bitter Fight for Control to Occur
Between the Two Parties.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 22.—The legisla
ture is called to meet to-morrow. Prob
ably two-thirds of the members are alreadv
here, accompanied by a large sprinkling of
state politicians. To-day both sides held
caucuses to decide upon the course of
action It is believed that there will be
dual bodies of the House, and that neither
party will have a quorum in the Senate.
The democratic county commissioners yes
terday created a sensation by taking pos
session of the legislative halls, expelling the
janitor, putting new looks on all the doors
and placing watchmen to guard all ap
proaches to the halls.
TURNED OVER TO THE GOVERNOR.
To-day the keys of the halls were turned
over to the governor, to whom the county
commissioners have leased the rooms. It is
thought that the republican members will
meet separately, should the representatives
from Silver Bow county, certified to by the
state canvassing board, be denied admit
tance. Politicians of both sides talk of
fighting to the end, yet a small number
favor a compromise on the basis of one
senator from each party, and division of
legislative officers.
LOOKED FOR LEVIATHANB.
Cultured Boston Disappointed In the
Looks of the Fleet.
Boston, Nov. 22.—The squadron of evolu
tion cast anchor in front of the city shortly
after 1 o’clock. The wharves were crowded
with people as the ships, with the
Yorktown considerably in the lead,
steamed up. A salute of welcome
was fired from the navy yard, and
the guns of the Chicago responded. It was
ovident that tho general outward appear
ance of all the cruisers, except the Chicago,
was a disappointment to nine out of ten
persons who saw their arrival, most of the
people seeming to expect leviathans in size,
bristling with armament, after the pattern
of tho old-fashioned frigates. Tho Chicago,
ou the other hand, met with universal
admiration, her broad yards, armored look
outs, glittering rows of guns and projecting
stem giving her a very formidable and im
posing appearance. The usual interchange
of courtesies took place.

SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1889.
A STEAMER SUNK AT SEA.
ALL ON BOARD HAVBD EXCEPT
THE CHIEF ENGINEER.
Fourteen of the Survivors of the Lost
Vessel Saved From a Life-Boat, and
the Other Nineteen Picked Up From
a Life Raft—The Steamer One of the
Old Dominion Line.
New London, Conn., Nov. 22.—The rev
enue steamer Dexter arrived this morning
with Capt. Jenny, with fourteen of the
crew of the Old Dominion steamer Manhat
tan, and also the dead body of Chief Engi
neer Haydin. The captain reports as fol
lows: TUe steamer was bound for West
Point, Va., from New York. Wednesday
morning when off Fenwick Island light, on
the coast of Maryland, the steamer was run
into by an unknown four-masted schooner,
and the Mauhatta i sunk afterward. Those
brought here on tho Dexter managed to get
into a life-boat, save Mr. Hayden, who was
drowned. The rest of the crew and three
passengers, nineteen all told, got on a life
raft, and it| is not kuown whether they have
been saved or not.
At the company’s office the information
received pointed to the fact that in all
probability over twenty persons have been
lost. The vessel’s orew numbered thirty
two. She also carried three steerage
passengers. The names of only a few of
the crew are known by the Old Dominion
people. An agent of the company said that
the vessels on his line exchange crews at
the end of each trip, and it was impossible
to state which of tho employes of the com
pany were on board the Manhattan.
Tho Manhattan was valued at $150,000,
and there was no insurance on her. She
carried a very small cargo, only 166 tons of
general merchandize, principally groceries
and dry goods. She was a wooden vessel,
schooner-riggol, of 1,155 tons burthen, and
was built at Chester, Pa., in 1879.
THE SCHOONER AT PHILADELPHIA.
The fact that the schooner Agnes
Manning, with which the steamer collided,
has arrived at Philadelphia compara
tively safe, and makes no report
of loss of life or the sinking of the
other vessel, suggests the fear that most of
the Manhattan’s crew have been drowned.
Beside/, the captain of the schooner reports
that the commander of the steamer re
fused to give the name of his vessol when
signaled to do so by the captain of tho Man
ning.
Fenwick Island, where the collision oc
curred, is on the Delaware coast, aud on
the dividing line between Delaware and
Maryland. It is twenty miles south of
Cape Henlopen. This is the second vessel
lost by collision by the Old Dominion com
pany in less than a month’s time. On
Oct. 29 last, their steamer Cleopatra was
sunk off the Delaware capes, by colliding
with tho steamer Crystal Wave. Happily,
no lives were lost.
The names of the three passengers, who,
with eleven of the crew, are on the raft,
are William Walker, James C. Tobin, and
William Vaughn, two colored and one
white. They seemed safe when the boat
and raft parted company. Seafaring men
think those on the raft will be quickly
picked up, as the accident oocurred in the
regular track of at least 100 vessels daily.
THE NEWS AT NEW YORK.
New York, Nov. 22. —The Old Dominion
steamship Manhattan, which left this city
for West Point, Va., at 4 o’clock last Tues
day afternoon with thirty-five passengers,
collided with the schooner Agnes Manning,
from Baltimore for New York, and went
to the bottom. At least fifteen lives are
supposed to have been lost.
WHERE THE WRECK LIES.
Lewes, Del., Nov. 22.— The captain of
the tug Hercules report* that the steamer
Manhattan, which collided with the
schooner Agnes Manning aid afterwards
sank, lies heading southwest by south,
three miles east by north from Fenwick
shoal lightship. Her topmasts are twenty
feet out of water, and her smoke-stack
is gone.
STORY OF THE MANNING.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 22.—Capt.
Birdsall of the schooner Agnes Manning,
which is lying below Greenwich pier, says
the schooner was run into early Wednesday
morning by an unknown steamer. He says
the steamer went on her cour=e after the
collision without trying to find out the ex
tent of the Manning’s damage. The morning
was a little hazy, but bright enough to see
some distance ahead, and the collision,Capt.
Birdsall asserts, was due to the negligence
of those on the steamer. Capt. Birdsall
bad all the customary lights burning and
showed a light forward when he saw the
steamer approaching. She paid no atten
tion to the shouts of Capt. Birdsall’s men.
but ran into the schooner nearly
at full speed. At first it was
thought that the schooner was
going to sink, but constant use of the
pump* kept her free until the tug Ivanhoe
got her in tow and brought the bark into
fresh water. She will have to discharge
her cargo of coal for repairs, as ber bow
sprit and jib-boom are smashed, aud she is
leaking ba ily.
BAVED FROM THE LIFE RAFT.
Providence, Nov. 22, 11 p. m.— The
purser and the other Manhattan survivors
who were on the life raft were picked up by
the schooner Charles H. Tuttle, Capt.
Ives, of Baltimore, which arrived in this
port to-day. They were rescued about
noon Wednesday.

cles were startled to-night by the arrest of
R. G. Wood, who achieved national noto
riety through his alleged connection with
the well-known ballot-box contract forgery,
which was at one time the principal issue of
the recent Ohio campaign. Wood disap
peared from the city about the time of the
exposure of the forgery, and returned only
two or three days ago. He was arrested on
warrants sworn out by Attorney Ha TANARUS/

ROOSEVELT AT BOSTON.
The Good Men of the Country Urged
to Take a Hand in Politics.
Boston, Mass., Nov. 22.—1n a speech at
a dinner given in his honor to-night by the
Civil Service Club of Boston and Cam
bridge, Civil Service Commissioner Roose
velt said the system had made positivo
advance, but that victory was not yet woo.
They had to flgnt every hour against the
envenomed hostility of an immense innss of
politicians. “VVe need,” he said, “to have
decent, quiet men who do not take any
interest iu politics for the sake of offices,
but who are interestod in good administra
tion and good government, make them
selves heard. Riemembor, t:.at overy poli
tician who wants a place makes himself
heard, aud while good men keep quiet,
politicians mako their influence heard.
THE BOOTH SYSTEM.
“Lately a number of meu, high in official
position, have advocated w hat I cannot sig
nify as more than a booth system. They
wish to have appointments parceled out to
the different congressional districts, and
given to the congressmen. We believe that
office should be given neither to politicians
of one party nor the other, nor to politicians
of both parties, alternately or at the s nno
time, but that they should be taken out of
politics altogether.”
A DARK HORSE MAY BE BPEAKBR.
The Western Men Willing to Side-
Track Both Reed and McKinley.
Washington, Nov. 22.—Jiess than fifty
republicans have come to town. Mr. Reed
has not yet brought tho New York delega
tion over here, consequently Mr. McKinley
had a boom to-day to the point of claiming
fifty-five votes, including ton in Pennsyl
vania and seven in New York. Mr. Mc-
Kinley’s friends are making a great deal of
talk about Mr. Reed’s anti-silver record,
and are putting forth the story that Mr.
Reed went to New York to see how far his
Wall street friends would let
him go in attempting to change
his position. Mr. McKinley’s strength
does not attract the support of the other
western candidates; on tho contrary, each
is girding himself to beat Mr. McKinley
after they have beaten Mr. Rood with him.
Every one of the candidates has now com
pleted a canvass by letter or by interview
of all the republican membors-elect, aud yet
so many have proved reticent or non-com
mittal that tho real standing of many is
still unknown.

during the court’s rocosß. He said that
Budenbender, atter testifying as to
the color of the horse which drew
Dr. Cronin away, yesterday afternoon was
served with a subpoena to appear as a wit
ness on behalf of the state; that ho (Mr.
Forrest) had called on the state’s attorney
last evening, aud told him ho would koop
Budenbender in the city till tho state bad
finished with him; that the state’s attorney
this morning notified him that lie would
want Budenbonder in court this afternoon,
aud that he did not care to see him before
that time. In spite of this stipulation,
however, Mr. Forrest said Budenbender had
been foroibly and illegally, and in tho face
of protest on behalf of tho defense, taken to
tho state’s attorney’s office during the recess
of the court. He submitted that everybody
connected with the affair was guilty of con
tempt of court.
LONGNECKER EXPLAINS.
State’s Attorney Longuecker said that he
had thought it advisable to have Budon
bender summoned in the regular way, out
side of court. Ho understood that an officer
had a subpoena last evening before the talk
with Mr. Forrest aud that this person had
boon looking for Budenbender since then.
Tilestato’s attorney said he knew nothing
übout this officer beyond that fact and the
fact that the witness was brought in. He
knew nothing of the mattor until after it
had occurred, and was sorry that it had
taken place.
Judge McConnell said: ‘‘That officer, or
whoever was guilty of the outrage, if the
outrage was committed, is to be punished in
some manner, if he laid forcible bands on
the witness is unquestionable, and if this
court can reach the offender after being
sitisfled that such is the case, whether
police officer or not, they will be pun
ished.”
After Budenbender had told his story of
the arrest, and the statements by the officer
who arrested him aud others, the court de
cided that the mattor was not one of con
tempt of court, but expressed the opinion
that it was an outrage on the personal
liberty of Budenbeuder to take him as if he
were a prisoner on a mere subpoena.
The court then adjourned for the day.

plain for what this payment was made; but,
he said, Mr. Redmond had never been
called.

Sir Henry attmnptod to show, stop by
step, how the Clan-na-Oael had become
paramount in the body which represented
tho lrish-American movement and con
trolled and directed its operations. He
emphasized the fact that Mr. Parnell did
not denounce the use of dynamite, and
quoted from an article in the Irishman
praising Mr. Parnell for the staud he had
taken. He admitted, however, that Mr.
Parnell was probably unaware of the ap
pearance of the article.

tion in connection with the Clan-na-Gael.

dence. Justice ilanneu congratulated tho

that we sliall bo guided to find and set it
forth plainly in sight of all mon."

have boen traced to this city, wlioro it has
been delivered in small quantities to grocers
aud saloon keepers.
