Gilmore Cleared up. /WAS EN ROUTE TO HIS FIANCEE. | Jefferson City, Mo., Noy. 6.—The “mystery surrounding the death of | Ed. F. Gilmore, whose dead body was ‘found Friday morning in a closet at the residence of May Zalser in this city, has been cleared by the confes- sion of the parties who helped him to his death. _ May Zalser and Maud Williams ad- mit that they drugged him with whis- key and morphine until he was in a drunken stupor and then they em- ployed a negro boy, John Cuie, to drag him to thecloset, for which they | gave the negro $20 of the money se- cured from the victim. The negro eook carried his hat, shoes and coat to the closet and placed them in the building in which they were found. ‘The man was placed there about 7 Fo’clock Thursday night, ‘and the theory is that hechilled to death. The negro man and the negro cook gorroborate the statement of the womenin the main. Robbery was the motive for the crime. One hun- dred dollars of the money was found by the assistant prosecuting attor- ‘ney, under an old wash pan in the a yard,where the women had buried it and tp which the parties confessed. Théewomen are to be held for mur- der fo the grand jury which meets in two weeks. The other parties may be hed as accessories. The body was takento Hartsburg by relatives yes- terday for burial. The intended bride, Miss Fannie Ribold of Colum- bia, companied them. SOON TO BE MARRIED. Ed.F.

The body was lying face down in the closet door, the shoes hat and coat being on the in- side d the closet in perfect order. The dothing was dirty, as though the body had been dragged, and there was evidence to show that something had been dragged from the kitchen door of the house toward the clpsst.

Got the Decision Over Sharkey After 25 Rounds. in the History of the Prize Ring in this One of the Fiercest Contests Country. | Kew York, Nov. 3.—James J. Jeff- ries is still the champion heavy- Weight pugilist of the world. He de- feated Thomas J. Sharkey in the arena of the Coney Island Sporting Club to-night, after one of the great est ring battles ever witnessed in this country. Jeffries did not succeed in knocking the sailorman out. Noman has ever accomplished that feat. But he out- pointed him to the complete satisfac- tion of the spectators and the referee. It was a terrific battle, in which both men suffered frightful punishment. But they stood up under it with the gameness of bulldogs, and such tri- fles as split ears, severed noses and the like could not stop them. GONG SAVED SHARKEY. In the twenty-fourth round Sharkey was nearly out, but a minute’s rest refreshed him, and he went the limit of twenty-five rounds with the cham- pion with a doggedness that excited admiration. Then George Siler, the referee, an- nounced that Jeffries had won on points. The decision was popular and the referee was cheered. In his dressing room, immediately after the battle, Sharkey presented a most pitiable appearance. He was erying, and hisface boremany marks of punishment. His left eye, which had been a vulnerable point during the latter half of the fight, was closed and swolen to the size of an egg. His left ear had also suffered. Two ribs on his left side were broken, and he was lying on a couch suffering great pain. His defeat, though, seemed to both- er Sharkey more than his injuries. He talked constantly of the unfair- ness of Siler’s decision, and declared that he was honestly entitled to the winner's share of the stakes. He ex- pressed the belief that he could beat Jeffries, and asserted that all un- prejudiced persons who had seen the battle would admit that the worst he should have had was a draw. Dr. Cramer, the club’s physician, attended Sharkey after the battle and said that with the physical pain that Sharkey must have suffered he gave a wonderful exhibition of pluck. It was fully half an hour before he was able to dress and leave the club house. He was very weak and could hardly walk. Jeffries also knew after the engage- ment that he had in prize fight. Sharkey rapped him hard and often over the kidneys and in other in a particularly vicious round split the champion’s nose with a straight right. Nevertheless, Jeffries finished in comparatively good condition. He Was as merry as a schoolboy over his victory, and said that if it had not been for the oppressive heat caused by the lights and the fact that his arm gave himalot of painin the seventh round, he would have knock- ed Sailor Sharkey out. been a weak places, and Six Frightful Failures. Six terrible failures of six different doctors nearly sent Wm. H. Mullen. of Lockland, O., to an early grave. All said he had a fatal lung trouble and that he must soon die.
