YESTERDAY WITH THE RECORDER
Here beglnneth the flnrt sub-section
of the eight hundredth und forty-firm
section of the Hook of Code, at the
sixteenth paragraph:
Let not thy oar be swift, lent thou
offend against the covenant.
l-'or whoao goeth forth In an Iron
chariot, nay, In an evil-scented chariot,

Now there lived in the days of
Woodrow the King, and of William
Chautauqua, the Head Keeper of the
Secrets, a young man who wus a tiller
of the soil.
And he came up out of the borders
of Waynesboro, from the uttermost
ends of the earth.
And the breath of the fields was
In Ids garments and about his hair
dung seeds of hay.
And it came to pass that he sowed
corn, and reaped an hundred fold, so
that he flourished and prospered in
the wilderness and his name was in
every man's piouth.
For he was upright and eschewed
evil, and took up the offerings in the
temple.
Now on a day there passed upon
the road a party of idlers who were
making a pilgrimage to the sea.
And their chariot had the speed of
the Fast Wind, and they went by
amid shouting and the clink of gob

And desire entered his soul.
And behold, he took securities and

And ho took the money and put It
In a pouch and rode straightway to
the city upon a fleet-footed mule.
And he hied him to the agents out
of the greatness of his folly and hade
them shew him their merchandise.
For he knew not the ways of the
transgressors.
And they shewed unto him a cha
riot that was as a fiery dragon and
they said: "1.0, It Is the best. 1 '
Howbelt was not the best, which
thing they surely knew.
Yet did he believe on them, and
gave to them the gold which he had
brought, and took the car unto hla
own.
(And he was deceived very sore,
but It was manifest only at a later

Now he took It .and went 014 upon

And so it came to pass that he

Who found that he was a stumbling

put the number at 35, while a request
for coffinA asked for 75 of them. This
evidently was an estimate however, as
the searching party, led by Dr. F. C.
Herr, of Madera, was unable to pene
trate far enough into the tunnel to
count the dead.
Where Bodies Found.
Bodies, It is expected, will be found
strewn along the poisonous reaches
of the tunnel. Dr. Herr reached a
body within three hundred feet of the
north entrance of the train. As the
passenger train did not stop until
within a few hundred feet of the
freight train which Castillo had set
fire In the tunnel seven hours be
fore, Fernandez must have stagger
ed and crawled nearly three-quarters
o fa mile before lie succumbed to the
fumes of the smoke. In his trail it
is believed the others will be found.
Railroad men here and In El Paso
are furious at Castillo’s act. On
Tuesday 22 of his men were captur
ed and executed by the rebels and
the next day. apparently in revenge,
he captured the freight train, ran It
Into the south end of the tunnel abou
300 feet and there set fire to it.
The passenger train entered the
death- trap from the north unsuspect
ingly, probably tavelinrg at Its usual
rate of about 15 miles ah hour.
When the engineer discovered the
trapp, it was too late.
Cadtlllo’s failure to send back warn
ings of his deed is regarded as the
most cruel and murderous act of his
career of outlawry and there is a dis
position here to criticize General
Francisco Villa for not 'having crush

VEILED WOMAN'
TAKES POISON
After Killing Mrs. Manning,
Hazel Hardman, a Girl of 20,
Slays Herself.
Newark, N. J. —Haxel Herdman, a
girl of 20, Infatuated with Charles
Manning, ehot and killed Mrs. Man
ning in her home here last night.
This was the announcement made by
the Newark police this afternoon.
The girl Is dying in a hospital nt
Mount Clair, of poison, taken with
suicidal Intent, learning that a
young woman hnd been taken to the
hospital the police seized upon it as
a clue to the mysterious shooting of
Mrs. Manning by a veiled woman and
they accused Miss Herdman of the
crime. Then, according to the po
lice, she confessed, saying that she
was In love with Manning and had
killed his wife because Mrs. Man
ning had failed to get a divorce.
The Unnamed Woman.
Miss Herdman was the unnamed
woman detained by the police and
questioned last night. She was re
leased this morning.
Miss Herdman died at 2 o’clock.
Her mother was at her bedside.
Miss Herdman was the daughter of
Arthur J. Herdman. a hotel proprie
tor. The fattier said this afternoon
that he had opposed his daughter's
association with Manning, but that
the two had been going together for
years.
Year-Old Baby.
Manning, who brought the young
woman to the hospital after she had
taken the poison, is the father, the po
lice say, of her year-old baby. He was
In custody tonight of the police, who
are investigating his connection with
the case. He had been separated from,
his wife for two years. His Intimacy
with Miss Herdman caused the es
trangement.
“I killed her because I loved her hus
band," said the dying girl. “I asked
her many times to get a divorce from
him so T could marry him She refused
to do it. She stood between him and
me. . That's why I shot her."
Before she took the poison, she wrote
a note to Manning which he turned
over to the police. It read:
“This is my last letter. I aim going
to commit suicide because of my love
for you—it was I who shot your wife,
flood-bye. Take care of baby."
In a Candy Store.
The young woman look the poison In
a candy store in Bloomfield, N. J., where
she had gone with Manning after they
had been released early today from
the rustody of the police. Although
the authorities had suspected Miss
Herdman of the crime because of her
Intimacy with Manning, witnesses to
the shooting, the murdered woman's
mother, sister and niece, last night
were unable to Identify her as the veil
ed woman who fired the fatal sho*.
Went Home.
fin reaching Bloomfield, Miss Herd
man went to the home of her aunt,
latter Manning called upon her there
and asked her to accompany him to
the morgue to see his wife's body. This
the young woman refused to do, ask
ing Manning to go with her and visit
their baby. The child was being sup
ported by Manning, the police say, In
Montclair.
"I’m dying to see baby,' the gir Isaid.
Manning agreed to do this after see
ing his wife's body. Returning from
the morgue later in the forenoon they
visited the baby and then Manning re
turned to his garage in Verona. On
his arrival he was notified by telephone
that Miss Herdman had taken poison
In the candy shop. Manning returned
and found her suffering intensely from
the effects of the poison and calling
out for him. She had entered the can
dy shop, asked for a glass of water
and swallowd eight tablets of a deadly
drug. Manning rushed her to the hos
pital. She died three hours later.
Legacy of $2,400.
The police then brought Manning to
police headquarters and questioned
him. They learned from, other sources
that Manning's wife recently received
a legacy of 12,400, «*> which he falls
heir. The revolver with which the girl
did the murder belonged they learned,
to one of Manning's chaffeurs. They
said tonight that he was being detain
ed.
Manning, they say, admitted his in
timacy with the girl and that he was
the father of her child. He eloped with
her more than two years ago and they
were absent a month. After their re
turn, her father at first disowned her.
The shooting, which occurred last
night at the home of Mrs. Manning's
mother in this city, where she had liv
ed since her separation from her hus
band, was cool and deliberate. Admit
ted to the house, the girl fired three
shots at Mrs. Manning as she was
lighting the gas to receive her.
