INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 2.—Evidence that Albert Knapp killed his second and third wives, as well as his first, is con- | tuined in a statement by Charles Jones, | who was a prisoner in the Marion County Jail and the Michigan City penitentiary with Knapp, and who was induced by A. A. Womack, then Sheriff of Marion Coun- {ty, to try to get a confesslon from Knapp. Womack has a typewritten state- | ment made by Charles Jones. The only | reference in the statement of Jones to | Knapp's first wife is this: ‘ Knapp told me he killed his first wife to get i his second, and his second to get his third. | Knapp's first wife was Emma Stubbs of | Terre Haute. He married her in the '80's | and she has since disappeared. The po- lice have been unable to learn her where- abouts, but it was supposed that she was somewhere in West Virginia. | Jones says in the statement that Knapp | told him he had killed the Gebhard child in | West Indianapolis in July, 189. Jones | seys Knapp told him about the killing of | his second wife. He took her to the Lib- erty-street bridge in Cincinnati and threw | her off the bridge into the canal after choking her. Then, he said, he went down | to where she was. As she was not dead he | finished strangling her. After he had | killed her he went back to town and re- | ported that his wife was missing. The | police did not find her until the next day., | Another reason Knapp gave for killing | his second wife was that she had accused him of killing Mary Eckhart. She said | she was golng to expose him. He told | Jcnes he killed Mary Eckhart for 75 cents, and that his wife had accused him of it. | Knapp also told Jones of having killed a | girl in a lumber vard In Cincinnati. Knapp, according to Jones, also sald that there were other crimes that could | be charged to him that would break his neck two or three times. Doubt as to One Murder.

With the news of the defeat of Presi- dent Sferra by General Bonilla in Hondu- | ras the State Department has been forced | to_regard the situation in all Central American countries as extremely threat- | ening and private advices received in Washington warrant the apprehension that a general war among the several | republics is imminent. Regarding the situation in Guatemala, | the following private advices have been received in Washington and are consid- ered reliable: Everything here is going from bad to worse, | All men capable of bearing arms are now mobilized on the frontier of Salvador and in the capital. President Cabrera has 20,000 | men. The revolutionists have 6000. Business | is paralyzed. Financial conditions are g»umx; worse every day. The country is flooded with | paper currenc worth, say, from § to 6 cents | on the dollar. President Cabrera is a lawyer, not & soldier. He remains in the capital while he_sends his generals to the front to o the fighting. He declared himself dictator. All civil laws are suspended. It now appears that the republics of Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras have combined against this country. American citizens re- quire protection from the outrages incident to the present state of the country. . Diplomtaic representatives of the coun- tries named say they do not believe the trouble is so imminent. B e e e HOUSE ADOPTS NEW RULES, Continued From Page 1, Column 6. yesterday. He pointed out that on all the rollcalls yesterday the highest num- ber of Republicans who voted was 165 and that when Butler was unseated there were only eight Democrats in the hall, 8o that by no possible count could there have been more than 173 members —flve less than a quorum—in the hall, admitting that all the Republicans who voted during the day were present. Richardson closed for his side in a brief but energetic speech and Cannon closed for the majority. The appearance of Cannon was greeted as that of De Armgnd had been, with tremendous ap- plause from his side of the House. The Democrats had, he said, in a fit of pique because Butler had been unseated, “re- fused to play.” and in revengeful retali- ation proposed that Congress should end in nothing. But his side of the House, he sald, proposed to “move on” and do its duty. In conclusion he smilingly expressed the hope that the other side would sleep over the matter and decide to “If you do not,” he said, “you will punish yourselves along with us, for we have the power and we will exercise it.” Dalzell then demanded the previous question, which was ordered—168 to 111—a party vote. The rule then was adopted—153 to 104. + REBELS AMBUSH AN MASSAGRE.

Inch by inch the cofl of circumstances tightened about the suspected woman. This morning the officers went to the ich and accused Mrs. Lartigue openly the crime and brought her to town. leaving Deputy Sheriff Hawkins on the place. This cfficer began one more search for the body and within three hours aft- er their departure found it buried in a hole not forty feet from the house door, with the saddle that the dead man in- tended to ride away on crowded on top of it. No time has vet been had to make an examination of the remains to discover the manner of the death, instrument or polson. The accused wom- an when informed of the discovery of the body vehemently maintained that she knows nothing whatever about it. Two theorles are held of the crime. One is that Lartigue and wife and Charles Estes are all three connected with the | sudden and suspiclous death of Newton nd the murder of Jasper Mills, in an intimate relation that it would be extremely perilous to allow Lartigue to get beyond their control where these dark secrets might be divulged. The oth- er theory is that Lartigue had been rob- bing his wife of her property and went back to the place for the purpose of get- ting hold of more of it, but that the wom- an was madly infatuated with him and in the mingled passion of hate and love she committed the deed.
