SUNK MYSTERY.
Of Monto Carlo Solved at Last
i .
by Confession
t:f,
O? thu' Man and Woman in Whoso
Possession lt Was Found Over in
jaranee.
Tho authorities of Franco wore
confronted hy a perplexing problem
in a trunk mystery, unearthed in
Marseilles, some ten days ago. Mr.
and Mrs. Goold, an elderly couple
woro travollng with the dismembered
body of a woman lu their trunk and
her head and feet in a safchol. wino
subjected to a process of "cooking"
lu tho hope that they would tell about
tho .:rlme. The woman is French,
tho niau English, and the murdered
wo) Jp ny a Swede.
lHhuIly. Goold broke down and
confessed to the magistrate. He re
lated coolly all the details of the
horrible crime. Ile alone had slain
tho'wonian, he declared, and it was
ho who cut up her body, although
his wile helped him pack it away in
thole baggage. After this had been
donn they both agreed to journey to
Marseilles, where they planned to
cast the body into tho sea. '
Mrs. Violet Goold also confessed 1
her part in the crime, bno said her '
huslumd had promised to give Fm ma ]
Lovitt tho sum of $100, but sho dc- i
mauded $100 more. To this Mr.
Goold objected, and said he wombi 1
not pay the extra hundred. ThefO.up
on kimma Levin abusen, aim. Refer"!- i
lng to what happened next, Goold, in .
his confession, says:
"f had boon drinking, and bocom- 1
lng angry I seized a hunting knife '
and buried lt Itt Bm m a's back. She i
foil" dead. The next day I dismem- ,
bored the body with a saw and a
knife, and placed the torso in a 1
trunk and the head and logs in a I
valise. 1 only stabbed the woman 1
once. The other wounds on her body ,
must; have been caused by packing
her in tho trunk."
.Referring to his family, Goold said <
his grandfather was a baronet and '
his father an Irish magistrate. Ile .
said he had at. one Hine served secret
ly op the Irish Land Commission in 1
Dublin, lu 180I1 he moved to Mon- (
treal, whore he says he made a for- f
lune. He then went to Holland, and 1
later moved to Monte Carlo. ??irs. |
Goold corrobratcd everything her 1
husband said.
Tho murder was unearthed by ac- c
elden!. Blood oozing out of a trunk 1
at tue Marseilles railroad station at- *
traded the attention of a porter. He '
summoned the police and tho old j
people wore arrested after an inspoc- '
tloa of their baggage, lt contained
the body of a woman. The head and J
lower parts of tho legs wore missing. '
Tluve were carried in a hand bag. c
M ..and Mrs. Goold said the murder 1
I., j boon committed by a man named "
Parkes, who escaped, and that they J
were taking the body to London, Fug- J
land, to bury lt without causing any *
commotion at Monte Carlo. v
The victim proved to be Mrs. Fm- s
ma Livey, a Sweodlsh woman, widow
of a rich Jewish trader of Stock- 1
holm. She had been residing at 1
Monte Carlo for some time and had H
boon an associate of the Goop's, al fi
whose invitation she went to theil' ,s
boine on tho afternoon of the murder. k
She was never seen afterward alive. 1
Within throe hours she had been kill- [
od, cut lo jilecos and packed ill a f
trunk and made ready for shipment.
A niece who returned home lo lind x
her aunt and uncle ready for a trip
to England) says slid sat on a trunk 1
and chatted with tho aged couple for '
some time and that she noticed a 6
strong scent of lavender water, for :
which her aunt accounted by saying (
she had upset a bottle. 1
Heath was caused by a deep slab ^
in Ibo breast. It is not believed by '
tho police that the old man was able 1
to Indict the wound or that the eld- *
orly couple were able to do tho cut- '
ting unaided. For these reasons, it (
ls believed, there is a third parly in '
the case. Robbery was evidently tho j
motive for the crime. Jewels known '
to have belonged to the dead woman
were found on Mrs. Goold's person. 1

TELLS OF KOREA.
Pity Of Senator Stone Rises at
Crushing Of Kation.
Marquis Ito Huies Hy Force--Em
peror and Father Prisoners In Pal?
me -Reckoning is Certain.
Senator William J. Stone, of Mis
souri, who spout a week at Seoul,
Korea, investigating tho Korean sit
uation, was recolved lu audience by
the Emperor, and tho Marquis Ito
chaperoned him. Sonator Stone, sum
ming up tho situation, Bald te a cor
respondent of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat: -
"From a Korean standpoint the
situation is pathetic. For tho first
time in my lifo I havo soon tho mail
ed hand of a forolgnor lay ruthlessly
ovtr a conquered people. Ono Em
peror has been forced to abdicate to
make placo for a weakling. Roth are
held in practical Imprisonment by
their conquerors.
There ls an armoo Japanoso force
about tho palnco, and Koreaus are
donied tho right of access or com
munication with the palace, all but
the suppliant ministers doing tho bid
ding of Marquis Ito, and who dare
not show themselves In the streots
of Seoul without a Japanese guard.
"No man. Korean or foreigner, can
have an audience with tho Emp?rer
except hy permission, und la the pres
ence of Marquis Ito. Tho Emporor
and his father are prisoners In their
own palaco, and tho Marquis Ito is
tho real ruler. Tho Government ls a
despotism of foreigners, upheld hy
military force.
"The people of ..-roa are overaw
ed, intimidated and subdued, and
well they may be, for he who rules
them is as ruthless anti as arbitrary
as a savage and Is supreme
"It is pitiful to note thc hopeless
ness and helplessness of this unhap
py people. No American could wit
ness this tragedy without a feeling
of profound sorrow for tho victim,
but unhappily, in view of tho Philip
pines, the American protest is silent
from an international standpoint.
"The purpose of the Japanese is to
appropriate Korea and make it a
gateway for encroachment upon
China. The Chinese policy of Japan
ls one of territorial and commercial
aggrandizement, and this policy ls
carried forward with a ruthlessness
unexampled In modern Huies. Right
ls based on might, while the world
looks on Indifferently.
"But history is being made here,
which, in Its Ultimate and intended
consequences, ls far beyond tho con
fines of this country and Involves far
more than the destiny of this unhap
py Empire. Some day lhere will be,
and must be, a reckoning."

Captain Schneider Says Spook's
Mystery is a Puzzling One.
CAN'T CATCH THEM
These Divisible Hoing Chaso People
From Their Houses-Tho Members
of Ono Family Flo ? Hud Only in
Their Night Clothe*-The Ghosts
liombnrds Houses With llrkk? und
Stones.
"Spooks" aren't afraid of police
men. At least, those that have been
haunting Brown street, in Georgia
town, D. C., aro not. Despite tho
vigilance of Capt. Schneider and his,
juicers, of tho Seventh precinct, thoy
continue night after night their weird
?nd ghoat-llke tricks. Tho police aro
mable to Stop the showers of gravol
md stones, which appear to bo tho
favorito moans of manifestation of
these materialistic ghosts; nor aro
they able to discover whence thoy
lome.
With renewed vigor these Invisible
Ijolng visited their wrath on tho help
I088 and terrorized denizens of Brown
itreet Thursday night, and tho vlsi-.'
tatton was one that will never bo for
?ottcn. The colored people, who are
tho principio victims of the spooklsh
malevolence, were thrown into a pan
is. The police are utterly mysteried,
and tiie musty records of George
town's ancient times do not shorn a
dtuation quite so strange.
Tho ghosts temporarily suspended
bombardment of the outside of tho
lwelllngs Thursday night and sought
to play pranks in several of tho hous
es, where tho occupants wore hidden
?onie of them in closets. The family
>f "Spike" Hampton fled into the
itreets to get out of the way of a
ihost, which, thoy cluim, was stalk
ng from one room to another.
The Hampton family s?y that hid
ous sounds were heard In the houso
hortly after dark. While Hampton
vas half asleep, he declared, a flgUro,>
lothod in white stood nt tho font of
ils bed. He seres med, and the object
lissapeared. Tho whole f amily a few
oeonds later noticed a weired spee
er as it flitted about the rooms, and
ho hurriedly escaped in their night
lothes.
Policeman Young, who has led Ibo
host hunt and who was stationed
rith several other policemen near by,
raved the horrors of the situation
nd Invaded tho houso. But no ghost
:as found. .While Young was In tho
ouse, however, the beings mudo
heir presence manifest by turning
aose a fusillade of bricks and stones,
"hey rattled against the side of tho
ouse, and a brick, going through a
/Indow, fell at Young's feet. The
olicoman captured it for anaylsls.
t was a sure-enough brick and had
ll the appearances of one made from
his earth's clay.
"Auut Jane" Holding, as ox-slavo,
,dio lives at 3 218 Brown st/eot, do
lured no ghost could make her run,
nd sat all evening on tho front of
1er porch, defying tho onslaughts
mule all around hor. Tho other oc
upan ta of her house made their es
ape and sought the protection of tho
loliee, who uro as much baffled as
?vcr.
The ghost mystery ls as puzzling as
iver asd the police are complote'
nitwitted. Tho host sleuths In tflj
irecinct have tried to fathom lt, i"
nive squads of policemen who h
icon nightly detailed in tho blotfe
vore last night augmented by scor^g,
if fearless citizens, who claim thar?
hey are not superstitious. They wl|>V
tossed with their eyes and cai
blngs that they had not herotofor^
;iven credence. \
The colored folks adhere rollglous-\
y to tho belief that the spirit of oldv
'Miko" Catos, a daring and notorious
igure in that part of Georgetown 20
rears ago, has returned to haunt
01110 of his neighbors, whom ho bat
id and distrusted.
Another thing that strengthens tho
;bost theory in thc minds of tho resl
ients of Brown street is the estab
ished fact that tho houses on tho
hoioughfare were all built.of brick
lug out of vaults ls an old gravo
ard, which is within a stono's throw
if tho haunted place.
"I have boen on tho police force
wenty-llve years," said Capt. Schnel
ler to a Post reporter, "and I havo
lever struck a puzzle like this. My
