I Congratulated by Friends , When Discharged. A dispatch from Elysia, Ohio, says au niu euu ui a rauier complete investigation into the cause or the death of Agatha Ueichlin who was 1 murdered last Thursday night, Coro- | ner French of this county this even- < ing gave tiiis as Ids conclusion of the ! verdict: "That Agatha Ueichlin came to he*r death from wounds Inllicted by a stone in lhe hands of a person unknown." The investigation was held in the presence of a large and deeply interested crowd of witnesses and specta- I tors. The conclusion reached by the coroner resulted in the feeling of Father Walser from coutinement later ( in the evening. i The witnesses examined Wednesday included policemen who had been called to the Ueichlin home at < 1.30 o'clock Friday morning and Casimer Iteichlin, a brother of the murdered girl. Rev. Charles Ueichlin, , another brother, also testified. The , concensus of the testimony of the witnessess Wednesday was favorable t.il lOntllfir Wnluor'u clulm i>f Inniuinnnn and in support of the theory that a , burglar or some other desperate man had committed the crime. Capt, Ketchum, chief of police, testified that the bloodhounds did not pay any more attention to Father Walser's bed than to the other beds in the house. Describing his visit to the house, Capt. Ketchum said: "Going to the attic I found fresh mud on the floor, that had apparently recently dropped from a man's shoe. There was also fresh mud on the lad- ] der that had been put up to the att ic ; window." I Casimer Keiehlan, brother of the . murdered girl, described the scene in liis sister's room when he reached it after being arouse the night of the murder. The girl's left foot was 1 drawn up and her fiead was bleeding and she lay partly on her left side. 1 The bed clothes were smooth and undisturbed and the bed quilts drawn ' up close und r her chin. The body 1 was still warm. The door between j the girl's room and It :v. Walser's room was open, one bed in the latter room had been disturbed. The other 1 had not. A ladder on the south side ! of the building leading to the attic J window was found. It did not read) ' the window by two and a half feet. The window itself was out and leaning 1 against an old trunk, lie noticed no 1 tracks until next morning. When ! discovered the tracks were small, but not indistinct, lie said Walscr gave hlrn a description of the man he had ' seen as being thin, tall, wore a mustache and a slouch hat. Casimer said : the watcli dog that was on the lower floor of the house on the night of the murder had an ugly disposition and usually barked when any one came around the house at night. The do# 1 did not hark on the night in question, however, until after the murder had 1 been discovered. There was suppressed excitement when Prosecutor Stroup ( asked the witness: "You do not know j of your own knowledge who killed your sister?" "No, sir," answered Casimer with emphasis. "You do not know whether the per- ' son who killed your sister came from outside or whether he was on the In- , side?" "No, sir, I cannot tell you." Rev. Chas. Reichlin said as to the tmotlve: "My lirst thought was that it might have been a Jilted lover. Mr. | llospere was her last lover. I think , the motive for the crime was robbery. My sister never expressed to me any j love for Rospere. He called twice since November. My sister lived alone with Walser during my absence in Europe last summer. Rev. Walser put a bolt on the door between his room and Agatha's at that time." TIIE PRIEST DISCHARGED. Father Walser, arrested last Saturday morning in connection with the murder of Agatha Iteichlln, was brought to that city Wednesday night from the county Jail at Elyria and discharged from the charge of murder which was placed against him at that * r ft. l time. I'rosecuting Attorney ?troup * ? said: "After having listened to the evidence presented at the inquest Wednesday I can see that there is not sufficient evidence to hold the defendant. The action taken on the part of the officers in arresting Father Walser has been in attendance with *0 their duty. A terrible crime has been committed and if the suspicion of guilt had been placed against any other person 1 can assure you he would not have been treated as the defendant has." Mayor King then stated as the prosecuting attorney had remarked there was not sufficient evidence to hold the accused and there was nothing to do but to discharge him from custody. Father Walser then addressed the mayor, expressing thanks for his liberation and saying Agatha Ueichlin was the last person he would have killed. Father Walser was generally -congratulated upon his release. r A DEPLORABLE CONDITION. /VnhhhhIiin Seem to tluvc l tie Law ami 1'rehh Intimidated. J. It.

The Steamships Saginaw anil llamilton Colliileil in u Donne Fug, anil the Saginaw Was Sunk. A collision at sea that cost the lives of twenty or more people anrl the sinking of the Clyde steamship Saginaw by the Old Dominion Steamship company's liner Hamilton occurred between Winter Quarter lightship and Fen wick island lightship, on the Virginia coast, at 4.40 o'clock Tuesday morning May 5. The Hamilton left New York ilie afternoon before at o'clock for Norfolk and the Saginaw passed out the Virginia capes at o'clock the same nieht bound from Richmond and Norfolk for Philadelphia. A dense fog settled along the coast shortly after nightfall and both vessels were going at reduced speed when the crash occurred. The scene of the collision is about twelve miles olf the shore and between ISO and 200 miles south of New York, or between 125 and 110 miles north of Norfolk. The fog whistles of hoth vessels were distinctly heard by each other for several minutes before the collison occurred. According to Capt. Moaz of the Hamilton his ship was going about nine miles an hour and the Saginaw about ten. The fog was so thick that objects a ship's length away were invisible and when the two crafts hove in sight of each other, bow on, there was but a moment's interim before they met. The Saginaw veered, as did the llamiton, but they had not the time to clear each other and the knife-like steel prow of the southbound vessel struck the Clyde ship on the port quarter about 20 feet from her stern, cutting the entire rear of the ship away. The inrushing water caused the Saginaw to settle rapidly in the stern and the impetus of the Hamilton took her out of sight of the crippled vessel. IOngincs already reversed wore put full steam to the rear and the Hamilton circled to the scene of the wreck, at the same time lowering two life boats. There was consternation among the passengers of the Old Dominion ship and tirst thoughts were of their safety, but as soon as it was discovered that the ship was practically uninjured, only soine Isnv plates being stove in, all etforts were directed to ttie rescue of the Civile company's steamer. When the Saginaw was again sighted her stern was under water and her how high in the air. Panic sticken people rushed over her decks and scrambled toward the bow. Lifeboats were being lowered and into the tlrst ir> colored women were placed, according to fecund Ofllccr W. L. Morris, who was in command. The boat was swamped as it struck the watar and its occupants were thrown into the sea. All were drowned except the second olllcer and the colored stewardess, who was caught by First Officer Goslee and held until a boat from the Hamilton reached them. The woman was pulled In but the gallant mate sank immediately. The woman died before the small boat reached the Hamilton, more from injuries received by the impact of the collision than by d rownlng. In the meantime the rush of waters into the Saginaw had caused the decks to burst their fastenings with a roar like the report of big guns and tons of freight of all descriptions soon littered the seu. To this the struggling people in the water clung and many were rescued by the boats from the Hamilton and Saginaw, iiefore the lifeboats of the Hamilton had reached the Saginaw the latter had disappeared beneath th# waves and nothing but her topmasts were visible. To these several men were clinging, one of whom was the aged captain of the Saginaw, J. S. Tunnell. When he was taken off it was found that he had sustained'severe, if not serious, internal Injuries. The Hamilton hovered around the scene of the wreck for over an hour, but no sign of life could be seen among the mass of floating freight. Two oouics, one 01 a man ana tne oiner or a woman, both clad in night dress, were observed drifting between the bales of cotton and cases of goods. T|le lirst news of the disaster was received at Old Point where the Hamilton stopped for a few moments on her way to Norfolk. She arrived at her pier In Norfolk about 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Her bow plates were stove in and tons of wreckage still chin# to her. All of the damage was however, above the water line. On board the survivors of the Saginaw had been given clothiuk by the passengers and seamen of the more fortunate vessel and a collection was taken up among the passengers to be distributed among them. Capt. Tunnell could not be seen. He was in a stateroom on the Hamilton under the care of a doctor. His injuries arc said to consist of two broken ribs and interal disorders. It was some time before any definite statement could be secured from the officlals of either line regarding the real number of people lost and saved, and even now after official lists have been given out there is great discrepancy between the statements of passenger* and the company's statement. Ac aw? C., THURSDAY. M cording to the Clyde officials, the names or only 18 passengers are known and It is admitted by Second Ollioer Morris that 15 colored women, all of whom are now dead, were in the swamped lifeboat. The crew of the Saginaw numbered 2d, all told. From the otlleers of the Clyde company here, the following list of passengers was obtained: K. R.Coles, Philadelphia; J. Trevor, Philadelphia; It. R. Younghead, Chester, Pa.; George R. Hood, Philadelphia; H. F. Winters, Camden, N. J., all white. Mary A. Sanderson, Windsor, N C.

Crew -Edward Goslee, first mate; Wm. Rittes, first, assistant engineer; Mary Anderson, stewardess; - Cook, cook; Win. Morris, steward; unknown colored waiter.

A number of the passengers left Itlchmond Sunday on the Saginaw, and until the list of these is secured it will he impossible to secure an accurate estimate of the dead. The discipline of the crew was admirable and "women tirst," was the I initial command of Capt. Tunned after the lifeboats had been prepared r<?r lowering. '1 he lirst two boats from t.nc j Hamilton lirst made a brief survey of i that vessel's condition and seeing that I no serious injury had been sustained hastened to the Saginaw. (J. lv. lierwin of New York was one of the passengers on the steamer Ham- i i 1 ton, which was in the collision. lis account of the wreck is graphic. He said: "Fog settled down like a pall on the ocean about 7 o'clock Tuesday night, j Suddenly when we were two hours late Wednesday morning, six hells! rang and 1 knew something was wrong.

So great was the confusion that one man put life preservers on his feet and when seen later was drowned floating feet up. E. lb Cole of Philadelphia, who was saved from the Saninaw, had just sold out ids business in Newport News and was en route home, lie placed $700 and a diamond pin beneath his pillow before retiring. When the crash came all thought of valuables was forgotten and he sought safety on deck. When he remembered his money he started below, but he was driven back by the waters. Mr. Cole grasped a piece of wreckage and managed to reach one of the topmasts, from which he was rescued by one of the Hamilton's boats."

It Is stated that Mr. Creech was returning from Camden, [driving a buggy, Mr. Howard Singleton being with him. While going up a bill near the Lee county line they met Mr. K el ley in a two-horse buggy driven by a negro boy. Kelly evidently did not recognize Creech until lie was nearly past him.

K lly lired three more shots, killing Creech. if is rumored that fids act on Mr. Kelley's part was in consequence of an ii remediable wrong done by the deceased to a member of the former's family. Mr. VV. 10. Creech, a North Carolinian by birth, was a partner of the iiishopville branch of Mr. George T. Little's Camden livery stable. For several years previous to his departure for Iiishopville the deceased was employed by Little lu Camden and here bore the reputation of being a peaceful and quiet citizen. ANUTIIKIt ACCOUNT. A dispatch from Iiishopville to The State says: This town was shocked Thursday morning to hear of the tragic death of W. 10. Creech, who was shot to death Wednesday evening by Spill ii Kelly. Mr. Creech was returning from Camden In company with II. II. King and Howard Singleton. About 12 miles from Iiishopville they were met by Kelly, who was riding In a uuggy, accompanieu o> a negro and leading another'horse. As he came opposite to Creech and Singleton, who were riding together, Kelly drew ids double-barreled gun from under the huggy seat and aiming Ins gun at Creech said; "I have been hunting you for 48 hours." He then flred, but the negro knocked up the barrel and the load went over the top of the buggy. Creech and Singleton then jumped out and the horses ran away. Kelly fired again, the load striking Creech in the side and arm. King then caught Creech and pulled him Into his huggy, driving rapidly away. Kell> mounted the horse he was leading and rode after the retreating men. King, seeing that Kelly was fast appproachlng, whipped his horse Into a run and this pace was kept up for more than twe miles. Coming opposite the house of Mrs. Sallie Hoykln, Creech begged King t< stop as he could go no further. The> drove Into the yr.rd, Kelly following. King pleaded with Kelly not to shoot again as the man was dying. Kelly rode up to the huggy and tired twice with his revolver, killing Creech instantly. Neither Creech nor the two men witl him were armed. The verdict of the (kroner's jury was that the deceased came to his death by means of gun shot wounds at the hands of Spall Kelly. The cause of the shooting l.< a mystery to everyt>ody here and ne motive can be assigned for the deed Mr. Creech was manager of the livery stable here of the firm of Creech A Little. He had made many frlendi since his residence here and was i highly respected young man. HAI) NOT WHONGKD HIM.

George Stoddurt of Gloucester, Mass., rand ashore during a thick fog on the cliffs at Whale Core, near White Point ledges, Wednesday night and l.~> of the crew, including the captain, were drowned out of a total of 18. The survivors are John Richards, l'lugene Lehlanc and Frank Nlckerson. The drowned are Capt. George Stoddart of Gloucester, Artnsworth Tiiomas, Kll Munson, Ansel Goodwin, Reuben Surr, llarry French, Fred Doucette, Tiiomas Frazier, George V.

There was a heavy easterly gale blowing, with thick fog. The vessel was kept under short sail, and ills presumed thatCapt. Stoddart believed be bad plenty of sea room. When the (ilorlana struck on the ledges she passed over the outer ones, but brought up on the Inner reef, butted against a clilT of rocks and then feiLolf into the sea. When the vessel struck the clitT Richards, Leblanc and Nlckerson were on deck and they ran forward, rushed out in the bowsprit and climbed up the clitT to a place or safety before a receding wave carried the vessel olT attain. The others of the crew who were below rushed on :lcck half clad and started to lower the dories. As soon as each boat touched the water It was smashed to pieces. The high seas were breaking clean over the vessel and she swung broadside on the ledges and commenced pounding heavily. Lines were thrown ashore from the schooner several times, but they were either broken or torn from their fastenings on the rocks by tne surging of the vessel.
