POINT ARENA'S MURDER MYSTERY No Clue to Mrs. Morse’s Poisoner. TWO PERSONS SUSPECTED LACK OF EVIDENCE PREVENTS THEIR ARRES:. Sons of the Aged Victim Using Every Means to Trace the Mur- derer, but Their Efforts Seem Hopeless. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. POINT ARENA, Aug. 26.—Although three weeks have passed since the foul murder of Mrs. E, P. Morse no trace of the assasin has been found. The | vine-covered cottage where the horri- ble crime was committed is deserted save for the birds that appear each mofning expecting to be fed by the kind-kearted woman whose life was crushed*gut by some unknown fiend. Two persons are under suspicion. but for lack of evidence it is not likely that their arrest will be made. The sons of the dead woman haveemployed one of Morse's men to ferret out the perpetrator of the awful crime, but thus far hechas been unable to obtain a clew which would lead to the de- tection of the criminat. One thing Is certain, Mrs. Morse's death was not a result of accident. The detective has satisfied himself of this and is looking | around striving against hope for suffi- cient evidence upon which to make an arrest. When the unfortunate woman died it was first thought her death was due to ptomaine poisoning. Analysis of the | mush which she had eaten, however, disclosed that it contained a sufficient amount of arsenic to have killed a dozen people. It is now certain that some one entered the house unob- served and secretly piaced the deadly | poison-in a bag of oatmeal which was in the pantry. Mrs. Morse and her son Le Grand partook of it in the form of mush, the former dying about five hours after. Her son still lives, al- though he had a narrow escape from the fate of his mother.

It was placed in the pantry along with other provis- jons. The following morning Mrs. Morse prepared some mush, which was partaken of by her and her son Le Grand and no evil effects were felt after eating it. Shortly after dark that " | evening the aged victim went to the house of her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Downs, who lives only a short distance away. Under the same roof lives Mrs. Spaulding, also a relative by marriage. Mrs. Spaulding is considered peculiar by the residents of the town, pre- sumably on account of her inordinate appetite for morphine. It is claimed she is a slave to the drug, daily using about five grains of it. At first suspicion was directed to Mrs. Spaulding, and many favored having her arrested. Le Grand Morse, how- | ever, refused to believe that the woman had a hand in the tragedy, and vigor- ously resistéd any attempt of her ac- cusers to have her thrown into prison. When Mrs. Morse entered her daugh- ter-in-law’s house she was met by Mrs. Spaulding, who pleasantly saluted her. Mrs. Morse asked her why she had not called on her. The woman replied that she had been busy, and cutting short the conversation went upstairs to her room. She did not appear again until Mrs, Morse had left. It is argued by several residents, who wink knowingly when asked about the crime, that if Mrs. Spaulding was the perpetrator of the diabolical crime that she had ample time to go to Mrs. Morse's house, place the arsenic in the sack.Qf oatmeal and then return to her own home. The detective who is working on the case scouts the theory that Mrs. Spaulding is the guilty party. He has had several interviews with her and is thoroughly satisfied of her innocence. Although advanced in years, Mrs. Spaulding still shows traces of beauty. { She is seldom seen on the street and speaks only when spoken to. She has been a slave to morphine for a number of years. “While T dislike to think that she had a hand in the awful death of my poor mother,” remarked Lewis Morse to- day, “yet there is a vague suspicion in my mind that she might know some- thing about it. My brother was very kind to her, having provided for her for some time. However, I have not lost all hope, and earnestly pray that the real criminal will some day be brought to account for the awful crime.” Mrs. Spaulding has a daughter living in El Paso, Texas. She was formerly the wife of Le Grand Morse, but he was | compelled to get a divorce from her. Her movements are being closely watched. There is still another person at whom day was probably the last that will be seen in Cleveland this season.

It is nothing unusual in this town to see a person enter a drug store and purchase No physician’s prescription is necessary, but the sale { and name of the person buying it are recorded in a book.

Feth- ers, Wisconsin. The other officers will be elected to-morrow. The men elected were on the slate of the present admin- istration. ; Much of the morning session of the Supreme Lodge was devoted to the consideration of the report of John A. Hinsey, supreme organizer of the En- dowment Rank, on the condition of that organization. Representative Shively moved that thre report be printed. Friends of the official household objected to this step and the debate waxed warm. Repre- sentatives Ritchie, Riddle and a num- ber of others supported Mr. Shively's motion and it finally prevailed, after about two hours had been spent in dis- cussion. Mr. Hinsey said afterwards that he was willing to have the report printed. Vague rumors were floating about among the supreme representatives as to the condition of the Endowment Rank. This is the insurance branch of the order, and has 53,575 members, car- rying insurance amounting to $99,261,500. The statement of the board of control shows the resources to be $523,376 62. It is charged that $91,798 16 is entangled in the affairs of a defunct National Bank of Fort Worth, Texas, and noth- ing but a judgment against bondsmen represents this money. Also that the $236,127 39 ‘invested in a hotel which is now in the hands of a receiver, is noth- ing more than a fifth lien on the prop- erty. ¥ The committee appointed to investi- gate the charges made against the Su- preme officers has been in session two days, but it is not yet ready to report. The Rathbone Sisters to-day elected the following officers: Supreme chief, Mrs. Jeanette J. S. Newbert, Kansas City; supreme senior, Mrs. L. K.

The Rathbcne Sisters, after a spirit- ed controversy, adopted an insurance feature similar ‘lhe endowment rank of the Knights of Pythias. The Sisters also voted to affiliate with the Na- tional Council of Women, and elected Mrs. Ida M. Weaver of Boise City, Idaho, a delegate to attend the meet- ing at Omaha in October. Camp Colgrove is almost a thing of the past. The last formality was the award of prizes to-day as follows: Class A, first prize, $1500; John Barr Glen Company, Eau Claire, Wis.; sec- ond prize, $1200, Terre Haute (Ind.)

Birlem, the Victim, Not Half the Size of the Burly Ex- Marshal, Who soasts of ‘the Feat. oy, Speclal Disratch to The Call. SAUSALITO, Aug. 26.—Ex-Marshal John E. Creed made a cowardly and unprovoked assault upon F. W. Bir- lem, correspondent of a morning daily, to-day, on account of the fact that he had been mentioned in a newspaper ar- ticle as having been doorkeeper while a faro game, which has now discon- tinued, was in operation. Creed and Birlem met on the street and the former walked up to the cor- respondent, who is only about half as large as the burly ex-Marshal, with an oath, saying: “I want you to publish a denial of your statement that I kept door for the faro gamesters.” Birlem replied that it was true and he would not retract the statement, whereupon Creed struck his smaller opponent twice. Birlem was at last forced to a promise to retract. Creed then swaggered about the town and boasted of his great deed, saying he would teach reporters to keep his name out of the papers, no matter what he did. That he really kept the door is a matter easily proved. Creed seems to be continually spoil- ing for a fight with men not physically his equal, but has the reputation of being an arrant coward at heart, and was once forced to “take water,” in the language of the street, by William Harrison, the poolroom broker, in a manner that earned him the contempt of every citizen not a member of his “gang.”” Now that the poolroom trouble is over and Creed has no opportunity as Marshal to beat drunken men at picnics, he is continually on the lookout to show his prowess.
