The_man jumped on the 7.47 express for Bordeaux as it was pulling out of the Quai D'Orsay station. As the station is a few minutes’ walk from the Louvre, the time corresponds with the time the picture is believed to have disappeared from the museum. ‘The magistate attaches the greatest importance to this information, the more so as he has mo reason to doubt the good faith of his informant, and he has sent a message to the Bordeaux police with a full description of the !individual and an urgent request to leave no stone unturned to effect his arrest.

Be- Booneville. Ind of the state. ‘B0 the little towns of Old Saybrook and Old Lyme the occasion was a holi- day such as neither saw before. Bands in both towns had ushered in the pro- sramme with concerts, and an automo- bilo parade formed at Saybrook Junc- tion and extended to the center of Old Lyme, providing a splendid spectacle. It was estimated that fully seven hundred machines, several hundred of them gorgeously decorated, made up the column which was headed by a car in which rode the guests of the day. The bridge commission — Lieutenant Governor Blakeslee, and former Sen- ators Andrew N. Shepard and J. H. Day—ied the column untii tne bridge was reached, where they went to a platform erected In a nearby field to act as judges of the parade. Lientenant Governor Blakeslee pre- rided at the exercises held near the platform and after the invocation by the ssnate chaplain, '™Mr, Sexton, he spoke briefly, expressing regret at tho absence of Governor Baldwin, who had felt it necessary to remain in Hartford to attend to legislative matters which had come before him. Mr. Blakeslee said that the legislature had appropri- ated $500,000 for the bridge in 1907, Many thought that the bridge could not be built for that sum, but the com- mission will probably turn into- the treasury between $20,060 and $30,000. He said that the impression is always held that an appropriation is only a starter, but he said that in this in- stance it was not only a starter, but a “finisher.” He then in behalf of the commission declared the bridge formally opened. Senator Ju m was introduced andr spoke of the achievement of uniting the two parts of the state. Rev. E. M. Chapman of Lyme spoke for the east side of the river, and Rev. L. M.

Atwood's position tonight is 1,240 miles from St. Louis and just 25 miles from the heart of New York His actual flying time for the distance, covered in eleven days, is 21 hours and 45 minutes.

Atwood’s _explanation of his fajlure to land at West Point, where the pa- rade grounds were crowded with of- ficers, cadets and citizens, was that he found the space allotted him too bampered. After sailing low enough to look over the prospect, he rose, mo- ment of the spectators, he sailed di- rectly over the river and landed at Garrison, fifty miles from New York, where no cne was waiting to greet \Geidel’ s Chum On the Sland- DECLARES GEIDEL TOLD HIM OF THE MURDER.

He said he had climbed into the bathroom of Jackson's suite by going through the window, and waited there until he thought Jackson was asleep. Did Not Intend to Kill Jackson. “When he went into the room he said he jumped on the bed, grasped Mr. Jackson by the throat and that they fell to the floor. Then he said Mr, Jackson ‘hollered,’ and he stuck the rag down his throat. He said he did not intend to kill Mr. Jackson. He said Jackson was a good old man and had given him large tips and that he only went there for his money.” Geidel Unmoved by Testimony. Young Geidel was about the onls person in the room who was uninoved during the testimony of McGrane, All the attorneys of both sides rose to their feet. Judge Crain and the jury leaned toward the witness. But the bellboy had his face in his hands, his elbows on the table and did not move while his roommate was speaking. Saw_ Shirt Covered with Blood. McGrane went on to tell about Gei- del’s coming into their room with his shirt still covered with blood. “I heard him come in and I, rolled over in bed and looked at him and saw the blood,” said he. “He said he had been in a fight and guessed he had killed 2 man.
