Mrs. Peter Newhall,
Walton, Way,
Augusta, Georgia:
Papers found on dead body of
man picked up on beach identify
him as Peter Newhall of Augusta,
Georgia, though known locally by
another name. Death resulted from
diowning and mutilation by reefs.
He left instructions for immediate
burial also that you be notified and
personal effects be sent you. These

balmed and given decent burial by
my crew near plhce of finding. If I

some adventure of the journey had

rather than in Rio de Janeiro. The
letters Ivan had given him to likf
great friends in the Brazilian capital
—letters to facilitate his flight back
to the frontier —had evidently been
no use to him, after all.
For months past Dorothy had
lived in constant fear of his capture.
Such news she had expected in the
telegram today, that in spite of
Ivan’s heroic efforts to cover up the
fugitive’s tracks, the arm of the
law had seized him at last. Tver,
had withheld his testimony to the
very last, running the risk of being
| haled into court himself on the
charge of assisting a murderer to
escape, not telling the tragic story of
what he had seen and taken part in
on the deck of the motor boat until
| it was veritably forced from him at
the inquiry several days later, but
she had not dared to believe that’
Peter could escape the hue and cry
that was subsequently raised.
Dorothy was known, throughout
I her . beautiful resident city, for the
'Unfailing loveliness of her appear

.flushed, quaint frocks dainty and
fresh, bobbed curls, clustering in
dark glory about her head rnd
around her childish, slender neck
and throat—but her nearest friends
would hardly have known her now.
The lovely dull-red glow on her
brown cheeks had faded, her sen
suous mouth was drawn and hag
gard with agony, her eyes like dark
blotches below the brows.
She bowed her lovely, bobbed
head into the cushion of the divan;
and the blessing of tears was hers
at last. The long hours of the af
ternoon dragged away. She was
miserably alone; her mother was
out of the city, even old Rose, her
colored mammy, did not know of

She was aroused at last by the

“He say it’s Mistah Ishmin,” the
servant told her stolidly. “He want
to know if you feel like comm’ to de
’phone—”
Dorothy hesitated, started to in
struct Nora to repeat a message,
then got up and went to the phone
herself.
“My dear girl, I have just heard
the awful news,” he began in nis
gentle, comforting voice.
“1 just read it, in the papers,” he
went on, “and I’m wondering if it
would make you feel any worse U
have me come cut—”
‘‘l want you to come very much,”
she answered simply.
“Perhaps you’d rather wait —I
could come out later just as well
you can ’phone me when you want
me,” he went on, in his instinctive,
well-bred effort to put her at her
ease. “Maybe you’d like to be alone
for these first hours, but if, later, I
can help in any way, I am always
ready.”
‘‘"No, I really want you to come.
And bring the Stradivarius, if yon
will. I think it will help—to hear
‘hat.”
Ivan hung up, and as she wai+ed
for him to come she sent Nora af‘er
the latest paper. She had not ex
pected that the news would be made
public so soon. She found the article
on the first page, and saw with re
lief it was entirely fair:
Pirate Cove, Alaska, December
2nd —The body of Peter Newhall
of Augusta, Georgia, was picked up
dead on the beach on the north
coast of Alaska Peninsula. He was
a victim of the wreck of the can
nery-boat Juipter that went to
pieces on the rocks in her effort to
aid the auxiliary schooner Vigten,
which w'as in distress.
The aboVe news came as a great
’shock to the entire city today. Mr.
Newhall was a member of one of
the South’s most ancient and dis
tinguished families; and although
the last part of his life has been
overtaken with tragedy, his friends
remember him for the gcod friend,
chivalrous gentleman, and social fa
vorite that he was throughout the
years of his young manhood.
Peter Newhall was born in this
city 36 years ago, the son of Colonel
"Newhall cf (Jettysbug fame. He
was married two years ago to Miss
Dorothy Stanhope of Savannah.
The affair that led to his downfall
occurred in a motor-boat party on
the Savannah River a year ago last
summer. According to testimony
brought out at the inquiry Peter had
sought a bitter quarrel with Mr.
Ivan Ishmin, a violinist of interna
national fame who was spending the
season at Aiken, South Carolina.
When the men were at the verge of
blows, Paul Sarichef, Ishmin’s sec
retary, interfered in Ishmin’s be
half, and turning on him in a fury,
Newhall was heard to threaten to
throw him out of the boat into the
river.
Ishmin himself was the sole ob-.
server of the tragic Outcome of the
quarrel, and torn between grief at
|tho death of his secretay and loyal
Ly to his friend Newhall, it was with
,'he greatest difficulty that his testi
mony was drawn from him at ti<e
inquiry. 4.ater this same night Ish
min was aroused by angry voices,
and he left his stateroom to find his
secretary, Paul Sarichef, and New
hall struggling on the deck; and be
fore he could interfere, Newhall had
hurled the unfortunate Russian into

the water. Ishmin immediately
dived to rescue him, but saw the
man go down for the third time be
fore he could reach his side. Almost
crazed with grief, Ishmin spent most
of the night in the river trying to
rescue his friend’s body, but though
once he saw it drifting, he lost it in
the darkness and it was never re
covered.
Not even the officers of the law,
though making every effort to ap
prehend Newhall, believed that it
was a wilful, premeditated murder.
Newhall was deeply under the in
fluence of liquor at the time, and
it is believed that he committed the
crime in a burst of drunken rage.
According to Mrs. Newhall’s testi
mony Newhall had wakened from a
drunken stupor the next morning
with no memory whatever of either
threatening Sarichef on the deck < r
of throwing him overboard. He fled
to Western Alaska—far out on the
Peninsula toward Siberia—and tne
above telegraphic dispatch com
pletes the tragic story.
She read the piece through, then
washed her tear-reddened eyes and
waited fbr the sound of Ivan’s long,
low roadster on the drive. She re
solved at once to keep a brave front
in his presence, mostly because of a
great good-sportsmanship that Peter
had found and loved in her long
ago and partly, perhaps, for puely
feminine reaons that were—by a
long stretch of the imagination—al
,njost disloyalty to Peter’s memory.
She had always cared to appear at
ghsr best in Ivan’s presence. She re-
Icretly wondered if this were not,
'after all, an indication that what he
jhad begged for was his at last—her
heart.
Had her love gone out to him in
.these past, bleak, miserable months
,of mourning? He fascinated her,
this master violinist from the East.
And there was no barrier between
them now. The divorce Ivan hid
urged upon her would not now be
necessary; the news from far Alaska
had made her free.
