SHERIFF’S CLEVER RUSE
ST. PETERSBURG, July 31.—M.
Von Plehve, the minister of the Inte
rior. who was assassinated Thursday
morning last, was buried today and In
every city and hamlet of this vast em- |
plre church bells were tolled and masses
said for the repose of the soul of tho
murdered minister.
The sendees herfi» which were ac
cording to the rites of the Orthodox
church, were Impressive and Imposing.
At 11 o'clock this morning high mass
was said In the stately chapel adjoin
ing the ministry of Interior. Emperor
Nicholas and the dowager empress
stood with the broken-hearted widow
and the children of the minister at tho
foot of a great mound of flowers on
which rested the casket. To the right
on a gold-embroidered cushion before
a mass of wreutha banked to the cell
ing were ranged the decorations which
had been won by the statesman during
his notable career. To the left were the
metropolitan, officials of St. Peters
burg, and the officiating bishops and
priests lh their gold emblazoned vest
ments.
A screen of flowers concealed tho fa
mous Imperial boys choir. Among all
those present were other members of
the Imperial family, the foreign repre
sentatives, Including Spencer Eddy,
charge d’affaires of tho American em
bassy, minister of the empire, generals,
admirals, nobles, governors of districts
and provinces, like those of Astrakhan,
and Irutak—in fact all high officials
not even 6mitting Genghis Khan, a lin
eal descendant of the Napoleon of Asia,
who Is now a major general In the Rus
sian service. The entire assemblage
wore full uniform and on the arm of
each one was a badge of mourning. All
held lighted tapers throughout the ser
vice and the air was heavy with the
perfume of flowers and Incense. At the
most solemn moment when all knelt
nnd many were afflicted by tears, the
widow was overcome and fainted. The
emperor came to her assistance and
she was carried out by gentle hands.
The emperor was visibly moved and
on the conclusion of mass he followed
the casket, which was taken up on
shoulders of the ministers and borno
down the broad marble staircase to the
street. There the funeral procession
was formed and the body was placed in
a great white hearse, drawn by six coal
black horses which were blanketed
from their ears to their tails in sombro
trappings. A black garbed groom stood
at each bridle and In advance went six
teen similarly clad lantern bearers. Be
hind tho hearse walked the members of
tho minister’s family and then came
a long and distinguished body of
mourners it being the Russian custom
to follow the dead to the grave on foot.
'!!:.■ Smperor himself walked a short
distance, but as the Novodevichy mon-
ry, where the burial took place,
over five miles away, and also be
cause of the condition of the empress,
his majesty soon entered his carriage
and returned to the Peterhof palace.
At the end of the procession came
four white chariots fllled with the
flowers. The cortege proceeded slowly
through the avenues and streets, pre
ceded by a squad of mounted police,
and passed within sight of the place
where the tragedy occurred. The side
walks along the route were crowded,
but lines of police kept the streets
clear to the curbs. As the body passed
every head was uncovered, and thou
sands crossed themselves. The mon
astery stands on a plain beyond tho
Narva gates and at these gates fully
60,000 persons were gathered.
After a burial service In the church
the body was interred In the adjoin
ing cemetery, where repose the re
mains of many of Russia’s greatest
men and at a point within a stone’s
throw of the grave of IL Slplaguine,
who was M. Von Plehve’s predecessor
and who also fell by the band of an
assassin less than two years ago.

The Murderer.
-ST. PETERSBURG, July 31.—The
murdered of M. Von Plehve lias bean
removed from the hospital to the Wy-
borgsky prison. The police know the
alias under which he traveled, but
say that they are not yet satis fled
regarding his Identity and decline to
reveal the alias on tho ground thaf
It might defeat the ends of lustier*.
There is no longer any doubts that the
police for some time have had the
knowledge of the existence of a plot
by a band of International anarchists
In Paris and Vienna.
The leading conspirator. It Is said,
was a man whom the Russian govern
ment tried to extradite from Paris last
fall. Some of these conspirators ai-
rived here a week ago, and tho police
thought that all of them had been
taken Into custody. The far-reaching
character of tho machinery of the i
Istry of the Interior and the urgent
necessity for dealing with many pend
ing matters, render It Imperative that
the emperor select a successor to M,
Von Plehve immediately, and It Is con
sldercd certain that he will so *hli
week. Influences hostile to M. Witte,
In spite of his acknowledged
ability and the general belief that ho
Is tho man for tho position, seem to
render his appointment Increasingly
improbable.
ELBERTON AR0TSED
OVER TAYLOR SHOOTING
TRAIN ROBBERS FAIL
TO OPEN THE SAFE
So...a Think That Dr. Bush Acted Hast
ily—A|| Hope, However, That a Dif
ferent Light Will be Thrown Upon
the Affair at the Trial.
ELBERTON, Ga., July 31.—The kill
ing of Charles J. Taylor of Wilkes
w*mty by Dr. Thomas C. Bush, which
took place at the home of tho victim a
few days ago, created no little interest
in Elberton. The causes that led up
to the shooting ennnot be learned, us
they are known only to Dr. Bush, and
he has been advised to remain silent
by his attorney. Notwithstanding his
refusal to talk, It la thought that the
difficulty resulted through Taylor”s re
lations to his wife.
Dr. Bush, who recently married, was
for a time boarding with his wife at
the Taylor home. Then before any
thing was even as much as suspected
by the people residing in the vicinity
news broke upon them that Taylor had
been fired upon by Bush and Instantly
killed. The shooting was done with
a double-barrelled shotgun, which was
pointed through an open window. Two
shots were fired, one taking effect in
the breast and the other In the head.
Both wounds were ssufTlclent almost to
produce death.
As soon as the shooting had oc
curred Dr. Bush left the scene and
came Immediately to Elberton, the
home of bis mother. Elberton up to a
year ago had been the home of Dr.
1 Bush. Leaving this place, he moved to
Lincoln, there to practice medicine.
• Dr. Bush graduated in medicine from
the Augusta. MM leal College. A f
j months ago he married Miss Stroth*
! of Lincoln. He has two brothers, both
of whom are well known physicians In
this county.
Upon hla arrival at Elberton he was
placed under arrest by Sheriff McIn
tosh, and upon receipt of a message
from Washington he was taken to that
place by the sheriff, his brother and
his attorney, J. Worley. At Washing
ton he was turned over to the author
ities there and placed In Jail.
The affair is greatly deplored by the
many friends of the famll/ here, and
It is said that the feeling In Wash
ington against him is exceedingly
strong. It la hoped In Elberton, how
ever, that when the matter has been
cleared up It will have a different bear
ing than at present.

DEL HART, Texas, July 31.—A Rock
Island passenger train oast bound,
hold up last night about soventy miles
west of Del Hart by three masked
at a small station called Logan.
Engineer G. E. Walker made the
following statement!
“We mude our regular stop at Logan
when my fireman and I were covered
with guns and ordered to move up. Wi
obeyed nnd stopped the train at the
end of the switch'. The robbers then
made us uncouple the mail and express
cars and run a short distanco up th
track, where they ordered us to stop
again. Then they entered the express
car nnd attacked the through safe with
explosives. They failed to open (he safe
and having used up their explosives
they made off In the darkness. The
mail car and passengers were not dls
turbed. The local safe contained no
money, consequently the robbers secur
ed nothing.”
A posse from Del Ilart headed by
Sheriff Webb, hurried to the scene and
It Is reported tonight that they have
the robbers surrounded and expect to
capture them.

SAVANNAH, Ga., July 31.—With
William Cato and Paul Reed, alleged
murderers of the Hodges family near
Statesboro in his custody. Sheriff J. Z.
Kendricks of Bulloch county, arrived
in Savannah this morning and lodged
his prisoners in Chatham county Jail
fe keeping. He slipped the pris
oners out of the Sfatesboro Jail at 2
lock this morning without even the
military that wus guarding the Jail
knowing of it.
Lieut. Henry Grlner, in command of
ie volunteer guards, withdraw his
men from the rear of tho Jail for a
few minutes at the sheriffs request,
though even he did not then know the
object of the movement
Kendricks slipped out alone with his
prisoners, walked them for half a mile
then took a buggy and drove to Brook
let, ten miles from Statesboro, where
train was caught.
It was some time after the sheriff
left with his men before any one out
side of the Jail knew of the de
parture.
Both negroes admit that they knew
til** • rim** Yus goliig to be i oimnitted
before It took place, but neither of
them acknowledge they took part in
Reed admits starting to Hodges”
home with two other negroes, John
llall and Sank Tolbert, for the pur
pose of robbery, but claims he was
frightened, when Hodges appeared,
and ran. Asked which one of the men
killed Hodges, ho replied at once that
Hall did. When asked how he knew
that. If he had run away, as he claim
ed, he grew sullen nnd refused to talk
further. There are stains on R
pants which look like blood stains, but
le man denies that they are.
Cato denies having been In tho party
at ull. He nays Reed asked him to go,
telling him they could get money,
though they might have some trouble.
;d corroborates Cato's statement.
:o admits going to Hced’n house
ly on the night of the crime, but
claims to have gone back home early.
Sheriff Kendricks says Cato'
»es not corroborate this. Tho sheriff
believes that both Cato and Itoed
there, and ho does not think Hall and
Tolbert were, though he states he has
not yet gotten to tho bottom of the
case. Ills theory is that Cato and
Reed committed tho crime without
lstnnce. Tolbert la under arrest,
though Hall Is being hunted.
The sheriff says no doubt robbery
as planned some time before, and
that many negroes knew of It.
*lghteen prisoners In Jail

besides these two here. Robbery
undoubtedly the motive of tho
murder.
Sheriff Kendricks’ position In tho
so is peculiar. One of his brothers
married tho sister of Hodges and h
1 Hodges were close friends,
hated to have to protect the negroes,"
he said, "but the duties of my office
required It. I did my duty, but
ilroad to face my friends when I get
b;uk to St ;i t •'.••burn.”
Kendricks says the negroes would
undoubtedly have been lynched had
they been left at Statesboro, He does
hot anticipate any trouble at all. now,
as he believes the two brought to Ba-
•annnah were the only ones who com
mitted the crime, though there la no
rtalnty of this.

The New Theory,
SAVANNAH. Oa„ July 31.—Evi
dence has developed that tends to show
still more serious crime was com
mitted upon the persons of Mrs.
Hodges and her nine-year-old daugh
ter, Kittle, before they were killed.
That robbery was not the prime mo
tive of the crime Is shown by the find
ing of a purse containing several dol
lars near whore tho body of Mrs.
Hodges was discovered. The theory
that now* has most ndherents Is that
Mr. Hodges w’ns first attacked nnd
killed at the stable. Then little Klttlo
was assaulted. Her screams attract
ed hor mother who ran out with a
lighted Limp which she xet down upon
a gate post, the lamp that was burn
ing when the neighbors discovered the
fire. When Mrs. Hodges ran to the
aid of her daughter, the theory is, she
was knocked down and outraged nnd
then killed. Then all of the bodies,
living or dead, were dragged into the
house and the torch was applied. This
theory fits in with tha confession of
the wife of one of the accused men.
