WOMAN MYSTERIOUSLY SLAIN. Mrs. William Simmons, Wife of X. Y. O. Engineer, Discovered H) Xi'lghNir Dead in Room. N Y. American. The officials of Westchester county, aided by the police of White Plains, have thrown out a draught for the murderer of Mrs. William Simmons, of No. 20 Hunt place, White Plains. The crime was one of the most brutal ever perpetrated in this section of the country. The husband, an extra-list engineer of the Harlem division of the New York Central Railroad, secretary of the Board of Directors of the White Plains Fire Department and member of half dozen prominent fraternal organizations, told a detailed story of his movements during his absence from the home in the hours that the crime was committed that set up a complete alibi for him. Neighbors told of several attempts by unknown men to force an entrance to the Simmons home late at night, when the husband was away upon his duties. Others relate the fears that had been placed upon the housewives of the neatly terraced street in which the Simmons home stands by the peculiar actions of several tramps that had recently infested the neighborhood, and declared that suspicion could only point toward those men. During the day the husband reported to Under Sheriff \V. J. Doyle and to County Detective Walter Scott the discovery of his wife's purse, empty, although he knew it had contained at least $15 a day or two before. Coroner Squires, who performed a preliminary examination of the body and arranged for an inquest within a few days, declared positively that the woman was the victim of a cruel and brutal murderer. He expressed the beliet that the murderer was not actuated by the motive of robbery, but had assaulted the woman in anger or passion, and also that the slayer was very familiar with the premises. Evidence obtained by the authorities showed that the rear door to the house was unlocked when the body was discovered and the key was missing. They believe the murderer entered the house through the door and escaped the same way. "I am convinced that Mrs. Simmnnc wn<i in 11 rrlnrm* ami thnt rite* motive was not robbery/* said Coroner Squires, o? Ossining. "I have purposely postponed the inquest in order that the facts may be brought out if possible. The husband told a straight story of his movements and established a satisfactory alibi." Annoyed Bv Strangers. Under Sheriff Doyle, who directed the county officials, said: "It developed during my ques tioning and that of County Detective Scott that Mrs. Simmons had been annoyed by strange men at least three times. That these men invariably came to the house on dhe nights when her husband was ? away on hi? tailroad duties; that on V the last o? casion, the night ol Decoration Day, sue threatened to shoot one of the men who tried to rai3e a side window, and that he fled with his companion. Without Mciubt she was strangled while praying and her body left by the fiends, battered and strangled." The facts developed by the iuves Ligiiuun are mese: Early yesterday a woman peddler called at the Simmons house. Violet May Simmons, aged six years, opened the door and said: "My mamma does not want anything, she is sick." This remark was heard by Mrs. Walter Knapp, who resides next door. She said to the child: "Ask your mamma, dear, if I can do anything for her." The baby girl went upstairs to the bedroom occupied by her mother at > the head of the stairway, and adjoining that in which the two babies slept. Soon she returned and said to Mrs. Knapp. Neighbor Found Victim. "Mamma won't talk to me and her nose is bleeding." Mrs. Knapp, sure that something was wrong, stepped across and tried to enter through the front door. This was locked. Then she went around to the rear, and finding the door unlocked, went in and up the stairs. She described what she found substantially as fyjjows; "Although it was 11 o'clock in the morning, the room was very dark. I found Mrs. Simmons lying undressed across the bed, with her head toward the wall and her feet projecting over the edge of the bed. She was lying upon her faec, with her left arm doubled beneath her head and her right arm extended lengthwise, the hands clasping her prayer beads. "I shook her gently and called to hor Th orr. ??o.? ?> * ?vi . ? *?vic naa no i cauuuae, clllU then I suddenl realiz?M that the arm was cold and rigid. I ran out and called my brother who summoned the doctor and coroner. They said she was dead." Husband Tells of Movements When the husband was asked to tell what he knew he talked readily, explaiuing all his movements until he left the house to answer a night summons at 9:30 o'clock Monday night. He said: "Before leaving home my wife fixed me up a right cup of tea and some cookies and then packed up a lunch for me. We left the kitchen together and I turned out the gas as we walked toward the front of the house. At the front door we said good-bye. About a block away I thought of my lunch that I had left in the house and returned to get it. As I mine in and opened the front door with my latch key my wife came to the top of the stairs and asked what time I expected to return. I told her some time Tuesday afternoon. Then I explained I had forgotten my lunch, got the package and left again through the front door. That was the last time 1 saw my wife for when I got back to-day she was dead and they told me of it before J got home. I had taken No. 29 to Weit Albany for repairs." During the night a brown water spaniel belonging to the Knapp family next door to the Blmmons was very restless and awakened the family by liia barking. Liut they t heard nu unusual sounds and did h not release the dog. v K.\<KI> TO WIN CHIM>. Mrs. \ ilcs Describes Flight With | ? .vhlna|>i?ed Son. St. Louis, June 14.?.Mrs. Ueulali . Fadeti Viles ,215 years old, 1 days ^ bride of Voler Viles, chief clerk of the census bureau of the depart- r uient of commerce and labor, who j arrived here this morning with her ? five-year-old son, whom she kid- j( napped from her former husband in , , Greenville, Texas., left St. Louis this morning at 5 o'clock for, Washington. Mrs. Viles had intended to remain until to-morrow, but a telei gram lrom her husband asked her to collie to W?rIi in ........ - ...pw.l UC V/IIV.C with the boy. Mrs. Viles denied emphatically the :eport that she and Viles were . not married. She said her husband J was a congressional candidate for the Sixteenth Missouri district, and 1 that if it were true that lie had de- ' nied their marriage it probably was tor political reasons. . Viles is from Wright county. Ma. His first wife, who was Miss liessie . Pearl Goman, of Wright county died .' in Washington, March 31 last. They had a son 11 years old. Hess than two months after the death of Viles' first wife and just a few days ' after Mrs. Paden obtained her di- ' vorce, she was married to VSles at ? Ft. Scott, Kan. "The basis of my divorce suit." ' said Mrs. Viles, "was the fact that J! Mr. Paden served time in the peni- . tentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., for . embezzlement. He was sentenced for u 1 r. - ^ ,uuuui9 i?u years ago. I am in- < j. elined to think he is following me ;! now." * J Mrs. Viles said she was attracted to Viles 011 their firs', meeting, which was at the Hotel fcjansone, in . Springfield, Mo. i .,. I "I was a waitress then," she said. "and had charge of the other girls. Mr. Viles accompanied by his son, J j came to Springfield with the , dead body of his wife. Mutual sym- " patliy ripened into love, and we decided to get married. I "Then 1 went to get my boy. who, ( 1 learned, was at Cozy Flats, in 1 Greenville, Tex. When 1 entered the j." flat 1 was told my boy was not , there, but guided by a mother's in| stinct 1 made a search, finding him ; ,. dressed only in his night clothes.. , Throwing him into an automobile we sped away. s, "My former husband for a time pursued me in another automobile. but we eluded him. He went to Celeste, while 1 went to Wolf City, j ^ I got aboard a train without knowj ing where I was going and without a ticket. I have heard my formerLj husband offered a reward for the j boy, but 1 do not believe it will ' .amount to anything, because he won't see Ivan again until the boy . I has grown up." Mrs. Viles said she was sorry for ' all the publicity. "I guess Mr. Viles is my affinitv," she said, "and 1 shall cling to /. !??" is TO SKLIj MOXlTOIt AS JUNK. til . th Old Puritan \\ ill He Iiais4'?l ami tr Disposed ??t' to the Highest lijcl- (v ftf Washington, June IT.?Worthless* !except as junk, tile only monitor Puritan, which was sunk recently in Hampton Roads by a high explosive' test and subsequently raised, will * 1 be sold to the highest bidder if the recommendation of the examining board to the Navy Department is adopted. The board found that s': the cost of repairing the vessel Wi would be excessive and recommend- 111 ed that she be sold, a minimum th valuation of $12,200 being fixed. The Puritan was built about twenty L*< years ago and was regarded as one es of the most powerful coast defense th vessels in the world. She cost the government $3,395,455, or nearly as oi much as the great battleship Delaware, exclusive of her armor and or armament.

Lexington, June 14.?Special: Tin ide turned to-day in the magisteril muddle in the fourth district, hen the Lexington county grand ury completely exonerated E. II. iddy, the primary nominee of uving commuted any wrong, and resented 11. Z. Adams for offering ribes to secure affidavits, and Geo. !. Cauglunan for perjury. The findig of the grand jury is as follows: "That one H. Z. Adams did offer ribes to certain nartieit ur ?r> in ucement for them to sign certain f the affidavits now before us, and lat D. H. Price and A. P. Jumper re tlie witnesses to prove this ict. "We also find that George E. aughman has committed perjury y swearing to a certain affidavit ow before us, and that Rron D. heal, A. B. Jumper, J. Z. Taylor nd J. Ansel Caughman are the itnesses to prove this fact. "We, therefore, recommended that ills of indictment lie preferred itainst these parties, charging them ith these violations of law. "We also conclude from this instigation that E. H. Addy, should ? exonerated from the charge of .rticipating or engaging in the induct and management of said rimary election for said niagisate, or in any manner violating w and rules governing said elecon." H. Z. Adams is one of the largit nhintoro .? 1 ^ - , imiu iiien-iiaiiis in tile unity, and has always been proment in the community where he sides. George E. Caughniaii is al> a farmer and is well connected, hese parties will, it is understood, gilt the case to the bitter end. The finding of the grand jury eans that E. H. Addy will now asime the duties of magistrate in ie fourth district, as Governor lease will doubtless issue the contission as soon as the papers in lis case reach the Governor's ofre. The sentiment of the general pub? has been with Mr. Addy all ong, because of the fact that he as elected only after a third priary had been ordered.

S. C.. August 18 In September. 1899. I took Rheumatism In a very bad form (Inflammatory). In a month after the d'sease started I had to give up my work and go to bed. It continued to grow worse until my arms and hands were badly drawn, so much sothatl could not use them. My legs were drawn back until my feet touched my hips I* was as helpless as a baby for nearly twelve months I HP muscles ol my arms and legs were hard and shrivelled up. I suffered death many times over. Was 1- treated by six different physicians in McColl. Dillon and Marlon, but none of them could do me any good ?f until Dr J. P. Ewing, of Dillon, came to see me. He told me to try your RHEUMACIDE. He got me one bottle of the medicine and I began to take it. and before the first bottle was used uo I began to get better. I used It five and a half bottles and was completely cured That was two years ago and my health has been excellent ever since Hnve had no symptoms of rheumatism. I regard RHEUM ACIDE as by far the best remedy for I Rheumatism on the market. 1 cannot say too much for it. I have recommended it to others since and it haa ' ir cured them. Will say further, that I began to walk ur about six days after I began to take RHEUMACIDE, with the aid of crutches; In about three months after! began to take it I coulo walk as good as anvh.lv .-a 11 iwent back to work again.. < " ! k ; JAMES WILKES Dr. Ewing Confirms the Statement * * 'Dillon.
