[ Manuel Morales, Chief Suspect in j Bomb Outrage Against King Alfonso, I Adds Another Victim to His List BeL fore Committing Suicide. 9 Madrid, June 3.?The capture and [ suicide Saturday night at Torrejon de Ardos of Manuel Morales, the chief I suspect in the bomb outrage against b King Alfonso and Queen Victoria, Ik adds another dramatic chapter to the W incidents surrounding the royal wedding. Morales was recognized in the little town of Torrejon de Ardos, midway between Madrid and Alcala. It was 8 o'clock Saturday evening twhen Morales, disguised as a workingman, entered the station at Torrejon de Ardos. He asked when the next . train would depart for Barcelona and then sought food in a nearby shop. His Catolonion accent attracted attention and his clothes, face and manners indicated a man of some distinction. k A private watchman from a neightxging estate recalled the descriptions ^ of the bomb-thrower and noticed that a finger on the man's left hand, which the stranger was trying to conceal, was badly hurt, and that there was a small fresh scar on his forehead. The ?9 stranger sought to take a road leading ft . into the country, but the watchman intercepted him and demanded to know his identity. Morales declined to give this, whereupon a guard arrest. ed him. Instantly Morales drew a ^ revolver from his pocket and fired, the t guard falling dead. Morales started up the road, but a small group of villagers had barred his passage. Then taming, he deliberately pointed the weapon to his heart, fired and pitched r forward in the roadway. In his pockets were |36 in money and a small supply of bread and cheese. When the governor of Madrid arrived with k Senor Cnesta, identification was im[j* . mediate and positive. The body was r then brought to Madrid. At Torrejon L de Ardos the villagers indignantly reW} fused to permit the body to repose in i their town. |T Villagers of Torrejon de Ardos say \ Morales appeared greatly fatigued and I fell asleep on a bench in the station. I At the inn he called for dinner, but L scarcely tasted a morsel. The loquacious proprietress of the inn discussed [ the prevailing topic of the throwing j of the bomb at Madrid, declaring it twas a neinous crime, ine stranger shifted nervously, saying "everyone has his own ideas, which should be respected." Shortly after this he tried to leave the town. When Morales shot himself Francisco Martinez, heading the crowd, saw in the moonlight Morales making a desperate effort to raise himself on his elbow, his right hand still grasping the revolver. Then the wounded man fell backward, but the villagers waited 15 minutes before going closer, fearing that he might still be able to use the t weapon. They found Morales dead. ' There were three abrasions on the body besides the death wound?one on the head, one under the left eye and one on the forehead. His disguise was complete. * The body of Morales was . exposed fhia oftArnnnn +A allair rmo_ w* Wi. iAVVO W OULOJ J^Uk/XlV Aliui^uation.

Public feeling was intense, chiefly because of the great number of victims, the casulties being 24 persons killed and more than 80 wounded. The corpse was exhibited yesterday at the hospital as the authorities thought this would be a good way to allay the indignation of the people. The sight of the body, however, infuriated instead of calming the populace and it was necessary to close the hospital doors as the crowd wanted to take the body and hang it in front of the house from which the bomb was thrown.

As a result streams were swollen, and [ small grain and corn on the low lands are ruined where covered with water. Crops generally are small owing to the cool weather, and cotton fields in the distance still look bare. Small grain is fine and the early sowing is being cut and housed. Gardens are fine, dewberry crop is on, to be succeeded by the never failing, ever bearing blackberry. The small boy is happy these days with his popgun and chinaberry balls. The simmering song of politics can be occasionally heard in these parts, although it is thought by some that the old Dutch Fork will not furnish her full crop of candidates for the fast approaching campaign. Most of our local politicians are delighted at the news that comes from the south side of the river that ex-Senator Sharpe will be along with the boys this summer, and all are agreed that he is a sure winner.

June 4. e% owaasea ?iews. To the Editor of the Dispatch: It was with great sorrow that the sad news of the death of Mr. B. Frank Gardner was received here today. His death occurred at the home of his sister, Mrs. Geiger, near Columbia, at 2 o'clock last night. Mr. Gardner lived here the greater part of his time for the past six years, and has many warm friends in the town and community. He was a gentleman of high character and will be greatly missed wherever he was known. Generous and true always; frank and entertaining; it was easy for him to win and retain friends and scores of them will greatly miss his cherry personality. The deep sympathy of the entire town goes out to his sorrowing ones at this trying time. His remains will be interred at Columbia tomorrow.
